I noticed IF we buy 2 hardcovers book from Amazon.com, we can save around RM40-50

Normal HC cost around RM102 at Kino & RM99++ at Borders (so 2 HCs=RM204)
If we buy from Amazon.com it's cost RM161.00++ plus shipping & handling

IF u want to buy HardCoverlah

hey yea..wanted to ask regarding amazon as well...they only accept credit card right? and i really take into account the condition of the book b4 purchasing. i wonder how amazon packs the comics.....coz i've seen comics sold at mph ...and they shrink wrap it till the point where ure comics are totally bent
anyone bought from amazon b4?
*
I've been buying comics especially HardCover from Amazon for quite sometime
FYI, do not worry about the packaging, the packaging for me is great n safer
i even bought lot of DVD from them, boxset or single movie
they normally pack it in a box depend on the item, the bigger the item, the bigger box they use
i bought LOTR Special Extended Version boxset (consist of 3 movies)
and they packed it in big box, like a shoe box even bigger than shoe box thumbup.gif

I even got 1 problem with one of my TV series boxset i ordered from them
i emailed & asked them about the item
they replied & asked me whether want to cancel the order OR they send another one?
i cancelled the item, they refunded the amount but few days later the TV boxset arrived
lucky me, i got the tv series boxset & my money back
Actually, it's their policies, IF certain item didn't reach the customer in certain time, they will refund your money with no question ask

for Credit Card, they accept both Visa or Master of any bank

looking forward to by Runaway HC #2 & #3 soon

how long does it takes to arrive to your doorstep once you have made the payment? and problems with custom?
*
Normally around 4 to 5 weeks
Normally custom didn't check any book BUT DVD, yes
sometimes they check BUT with certain customer when they familiar with, they will allow without checking it
that's my experience la
in my earlier stages with Amazon, i got delay of items BUT nowadays, quite fast
normally before 5 weeks the items will arrive
QUOTE(thewayiam @ Nov 17 2007, 10:25 PM)
yea man...good info here...its hard 2 get good comics...certain places have certain books only..at least amazon has every possible hardcover....
how much do they usually charge for delivery eh? lol...interesting stuff
*
For HC books normally around $6-$7 dollar
depends on the weight actually

eventhough quite long BUT it's worth waiting for

I notice there is few type of Shipping in Amazon.  It is you use the cheapest one? USD 5.00???

Yeah
I normally use the cheapest one, standard shipping blush.gif blush.gif
save cost a bit sweat.gif rolleyes.gif

BUT remember, if u want to use Amazon, make sure your address is your office
faster n safer
i'm afraid if u r not at home, they will send the item to the nearest post office which is NOT totally 100% safe

just be safe

but 4-5 weeks it's too slow for me. unless you're not in rush so i guess is fine. for me, usually i'll get from ebay stores and it usually arrives within 6-10 days.

I didn't mind if i have to wait for a month
the thing is, as long as it reach me safe n sound, that'll be great

One main thing i bought HC is because of the extra thing inside it
normally sketches, letter from the writer/s or sometimes from the artist
and the main attraction is the covers, past covers

wow, didn't notice there's a comic thread here...
have been collecting some marvel comics down the years, all x-titles since before the age of apocalypse (around 94-95?). stopped for a while before picking back up the hobby about 5 years back, and now have decided to quit for good.
too expensive for a hobby, really, it's eating up my wallet, hahahaha...
now looking to sell off some of my treasures, wondering if there's any buyers around?
*
Try sell it at Garage Sales
better put some picture for better selling strategy
Eric.tangps already selling his collections thumbup.gif
