QUOTE(cyclone9 @ Jan 22 2019, 07:40 AM) I order by books on early Jan 2019 but till now didn't get. They ask me to check with POS malaysia if they receive any mail from them. How? if i remembered correctly, it took almost a month for my books to be delivered. perhaps try to wait a little longer since you placed your order just early this month. |

No custom charge. I've bought several times since few months ago. About the delivery, the fastest it reached me was about 2 weeks, but only once. The rest took about 3-4 weeks. Nothing like that trepidation you suffer not knowing if they'll ever reach you lolz but they all did so far for me.

Same like above for my 2nd book as well. i think it took me longer than 4weeks. regardless, during that time i emailed to the help desk and they got back to me pretty fast. and yes, they asked me to check with my local post office as well which i told them the local post office might not know as well. few days after that i got my book. so i guess it takes longer than usual sometimes. Speaking of which, i have another book on the way since 2-3 weeks ago. but i have faith it will arrive eventually. With the price they are giving on some books, it's cheaper by 50% buying locally...so i guess worth the wait. Unless you're dying to read same day..then local book store it is then |

When i enquire, it was because of high fraud rate. everything they sell, they have to ship twice..coz its either never reach, or missing, or faulty upon arrival. dont want the same to happen to bookdepository as i really like their low priced books |

At least they need to have tracking number barcode for the package sent.i dont want to file a claim to bookdepository as i am afraid if they found out that shpment to malaysia kept missing, they might pull us OUT from their list. i remember encountering the same close to 15yrs ago...most of the companies ship to everywhere except malaysia.
