I've received one of the books that I ordered on the 19th yesterday. No one rang the doorbell just found it in my mailbox.

I hope it won't take too long for my other book to reach my doorstep.

Great to hear. 👍
Yes it's a relief to see the delivery period is getting shorter here to Malaysia. I plan to make more purchase in BD in the future.
Before this I was skeptical because many people said they only received their books after 4-5 weeks standard.

xpole I felt so happy last year getting book I wanted at very cheap price first time bought from BD but no more after this.
This is shocking and sad I don't know any other alternatives as good as BD. 😭

DAMN, DAMN DAMN

OMG.

I have no idea what other alternative that I can buy besides the book depository. I tried to buy directly thru Amazon but it seems like I can't proceed with payment and they always blocked me


This is a sad news to be honest. Our local bookstores are not helping and the book title is not widely available compared to Book Depository. cry.gif cry.gif

Amazon JP? My cc no problems used on Amazon US but for JP they rejected all 3 cards until one user here suggested to use prepaid card like BigPay instead. Baru dapat payment accepted around 20 minutes.

Just helped my friend using BigPay also to buy her books at Amazon JP but all went smoothly.
If you have any prepaid card try use it instead of bank cc.

Any good alternative?

I only know
Amazon
Wordery
Betterworld books

Amazon may need forwarders as the price is expensive if using Amazon own shipping.

None of these are even close to what bookdepo can offer. It's a sad day for a lot of us.

A better alternative would be Amazon sg. U can save more on postage

Btw, planning to do purchase. Looking for artistic violent manga with gore and blood, nudity is a bonus (eg Gantz)

Any recommendation?

I have Chainsaw Man in my cart.
I have Starving Anonymous in my cart

Of course not. One title RM99.90 at normal bookstores now BD selling at only RM51.91 that's almost 50% discount. https://www.bookdepository.com/Mythographic...72044530&sr=1-5

I dislike Amazon Singapore because books I want there all super expensive compared to local Kinokuniya and Amazon JP even includes the shipping fees. Also Kinokuniya can help back order some old and rare titles from their suppliers which is a plus to me.

The list is suggestion. Search compare then buy your favourite books from whatever shop that can offer the best prices.
