Have you received the remaining 5 books? It's been awhile.

I've got a list a books which I'd like to buy from book depository, as the price is way cheaper than Kinokuniya and MPH. But, I'm still contemplating whether to proceed or not, given the tendency of not being able track the shipment halfway

yes. given within 1 month deliver.time

Ok, thanks

Hello
i bought another book and it took me close to 6 weeks
so sometimes, you jst need to wait

for me, usually if it's cheaper than what i can find locally, then i will go for it..since 6wks lead time is not that long considering i have alot of unread books

My situation is similar to yours. I've got a lot of unread books as well. So, the waiting time is justified.

Based on experience, most books sold on Book Depository is far cheaper than our local bookstores.

The books which you've bought on Book Depository, was it dropped in your mailbox or were you required to collect from Poslaju/Pos Malaysia?

yup. totally agree.
similar book sold at local bookstores usually costs around 50% more than bookdepository. so i dont mind the long wait as well.

all were dropped into my mail box. so far there's no note for pickup

You were right about the 50% . There's this one book which I've been eyeing for and it's sold at RM71++ at Kinokuniya and MPH. Over the weekend, there was a price drop notification from Book Depository and when I checked, the book was sold at RM36++. Sadly, when I wanted to place the order today, it's no longer available. Lesson learned

Hahaaa...that's big loss!

but dont worry bro, bookdepository often have such promo

hopefully you manage to nab it next round

Bought 2 manga, book 5 arrived but not book 4 😅

So book 4 didn't arrive?

Today i just received a note saying that I've to pick up from poslaju there because big parcel =_= they never try to call me also...

the "big parcel" is your book?

I have an order placed before the 20th of March which I have yet to receive. 6 books under 500 bucks and shipped out in 4 shipments. Have received none so far except a poslaju slip which I'm unsure if it's any one of the shipments.

I'm also expecting other stuff not from bookdepository so will only know later. I didn't now poslaju handles bookdepository stuff. Thought just regular pos Malaysia.

Yes definitely my books, post officer told me that there are 2 books and suck that the post office only open on weekdays so i have to take leave just collect it😑

You can write an email to book depository if more than 2 months you still receive nothing. I did that once and they offer you whether to refund or they will send you another replacement.

If only book depository offer us another shipping option which is to pay extra for tracking code xD

Poslaju office normally opens till a little late (8pm weekdays) and also half day on Saturday. Maybe they go by branch perhaps.

Anyway mine was ordered around the 20th of March so it's been some time now.

The only Poslaju slip I got was once from betterworldbooks.com where they sent me the wrong book and had to resend. When they did resend it seems they used some expedited mail which eventually was handled by Poslaju. The first send was via regular mail.

Was yours a resend by bookdepository?

Yeah I asked them about alternative shipping options, was willing to pay too. Just too bad.

I had collected mine as well, seem like if more than 2books the postman won't be put it on the mailbox, don't think it fit 🤦‍♀️

I've made many orders from bookdepository over the years now, it usually takes any where from one month to 2-3 months, there was one particular book which took freaking more than 4 months, I had give up on waiting on that one book I just assumed it got lost in the mail and then it arrived one day lmao. The waiting really sucks but it's kind of worth it for the prices (which are mostly better than kino) and free shipping even for large items like box sets

If pos laju fail to deliver to ur house
Would they put in a card to tell you to collect from their office ?

If house, would they just leave it on the top of ur post box ?

For landed house I'm not sure, because i live in an apartment. Everytime the postman just leave my books inside my mailbox at the downstairs. Except one time, i received a delivery note instead because the parcel quite thick, i guess postman couldn't leave it inside the mailbox so he requests us come to collect ownself instead.

Got questions, can book depository pay via installment. Bcoz some of my favourite book cost RM 800 - 1000?
