I bought a book just last year and never arrived after 2 months.

I emailed the support and they granted me a refund right away, no questions asked.

I tried to sign up, they asked me to fill up the Japanese mobile number.

But when I tried to put local malaysia number, the TAC won't arrive. :confused:

That's odd. I registered my account last year no problem at all. Everything was in English no need Japanese mobile phone number.

Try this site choose the email option instead of mobile number. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/ap/register?o...2GHBTP863ZDT1D2

I bought twice from them. Both times I had to check at the general post office near Pasir Seni and pick up the books from there. There was no tracking number so had to check with Pos Malaysia. So inconvenient.

Bought once postman threw it through front gate landed near main door. With parcel envelope terbukak lucky my book didn't fall out.

But with super cheap price free shipping somemore I didn't complain.

Exactly what happened, no tracking number.

I asked support where is my book and they requested for tracking number. I don't know how to proceed. I just gave up.

yea. happened to me too. once i waited 2 months (kasi chan because of pandemic time) then they refund. later book arrived, i emailed to inform but they didn't ask for payment

BD is my favourite too. fastest is 2 weeks. non arrival also have happened.

I don't buy books as often as i used too. but the alternatives i can suggest are:

https://www.betterworldbooks.com ( new + used. free ww shipping too. 2 weeks - 1 month delivery iirc. collection not as extensive as BD)

kinokuniya MY. I don't have membership which is rm38 yearly. but can buy at member price with personal shopper i found on carousell. no service charge. pay to her the discounted price same as website. she orders the book for you. kino sends to your address.

order from oversea Amazon/BN whatever website. send to your friend/family's address who's coming back to MY visit/holiday. they bring those books to you. but need to be sensible la..not that thick and heavy.
