My last month purchase from Kinokuniya was nearly 4 weeks as well. They had to back order the book I wanted from Japan it's very rare old title most online shops in the world all Out of stock.

This one is newly release last May but I noticed all books by the same author sold here at least RM90+ excluding shipping. Crazy expensive. shakehead.gif

Today the price dropped down again it's very tempting to get it.

If you are not rush to get the book, just proceed.

If the price a lot lot cheaper than retail, just buy it. Our currency is so shit right now

MPH has it in stock, delivery in 3-5 days. Not as cheap as BD, but cheaper than Kino.

My first choice will be Amazon US because when I buy reference book from there, it'll be air mail.

Book depository, my reference books I buy come from UK by sea and takes about 2 months, maybe 3.

It hurts when I keep been reminded about our shitty currency. I'm really annoyed when Mat salleh on YouTube saying 'Hun,it just $18 you've gotta have it.'
They think everyone who's watching their channel are all richfag coming from first world countries can always afford expensive hardcopy books. sad.gif

I just proceeded it last night because yes it's the best deal I could get in next few weeks or months it's gonna back to original price like others. $18-$20 is a lot of money when converted back into RM.

Thank you for this I was late seeing your reply last night. Already placed my order at BD around 7pm.
I really forgot MPH online bookstore still alive all this while I only search Kinokuniya first. Great price for Mythographic book I hope they can add more in the future.

Damn it the price just dropped again today to RM63.16 which is around RM31.74 difference with Kinokuniya price.

It's very tempting to buy now.

So far all my books arrived safely in one piece.

I have. If you wait you can even get it for extra 10% off. Book depository frequently throw out 10% coupon in their email. You can consider wordey and better world books. Better world books if you don't mind 2nd hand books. Price can be cheaper than book depository. For me, I will always pick the cheaper options.

Couple of months was the longest
Average was a little under a month

It will come don't worry. Price and availability of certain titles is the main draw for me

QUOTE(ian_zero @ Nov 3 2022, 08:54 PM)
Then the availability shouldn't be an issue. But you probably need to be prepared to wait around 1 month+. In my previous experiences, their books are rarely delivered on time. But that was quite some times ago. It may have gotten better these day.

If your ordered from Book Depository, you need to be really patient. Mine arrived within 3 weeks-1 month

The price is just slightly cheaper. But depends on the genre of the book. Sometimes i dont feel worth waiting so long so i rather buy the book directly at bookstore

Just received my book today OMG. Dispatched on 8th November I expected it to arrive around mid next month. Although the envelope already been opened (update pics on first post).

I might buy again from BD.

That was fast. Nice.

So far, mine was never opened. I guess there's a first for everything. Luckily, it arrives safely without damages.

Hi just wondering did you guys pay using paypal or credit card ? I am thinking of purchasing from book depository and a bit cautious about using my cc.

I don't mind waiting ... some of the titles aren't available at our bookstores.

I paid using BigPay. Since still got balance in it plus with its prepaid card function I can control amount of money going in and out.

Good luck. My first purchase received after 2+ weeks hope yours will arrived early as well.

Can use PayPal, but not in RM. Have to switch to different currency if you want to use PayPal. If you already have some non-RM balance in the PayPal account, still ok la. If you use your card to pay in RM via PayPal, the exchange rate not that favourable, iirc.

At least if you use cc, you can dispute the transaction with the bank.

BigPay also can.
