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?

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

my books didnt arrive since 9th jan. they told me they will deliver the books again, estimate delivered by end feb

well i am still waiting for mine. but i am sure it will be delivered. maybe delayed.

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. 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 nod.gif

I just receive 1 out of 6 books I order since 4/Jan/2019. At least they need to have tracking number barcode for the package sent.

ok. your situation are indeed a lot more dire than mine. i have received at least 2 out of 3.

agree. something like DHL, FEDEX or even post laju so we know the status would be great. but i guess maybe due to free shipping they are using the cheapest method without tracking?

even free shipping package I saw there is barcode.

hmm. but somehow we're unable to trace the book they ship to us right? because i remember asking for which tracking service i can check and was told there's none.

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 nod.gif

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 nod.gif

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  cry.gif

Hahaaa...that's big loss!

but dont worry bro, bookdepository often have such promo

hopefully you manage to nab it next round nod.gif
