tl;dr final day they'll take order is 24th April. RIP.

too bad, I never even visit them once and I like reading books.

It's definitely the best place to buy books online because the free shipping worldwide.

thanks for the tip.
too bad no budget for shopping.

wtf whyyyy

demn, it's my no 1 source of affordable imported books and mangas. Free shipping is one of the main selling point. Is there any alternative other than Book Depository?

Not just that. They have an extensive collection and carry alot of books in stock while other places don't.

Bummer man.

leftycall9 looks like the price hike was Amazon prepping consumers to accept Amazon prices going forward Kek

reee
time to clear Wishlist

soon need 10usd shipping for 10usd book

Ahh. I was right then.
That's explained Joseph Catimbang books they priced exactly followed Amazon plus the shipping fees for each of his book.

My friend so upset she couldn't get the books she wanted at such lower price like mine till we had to order from Amazon JP. RM30 more expensive but that's the best we could find. Local Kinokuniya and MPH all out of questions harga mahal giler.

I'm like 5 books away from completing my Gundam The Origin collection. F**k.

Fark my Berserk Hardcover belum complete cheebyeee

rip

the best website to buy books

This is truly a sad news for readers out there.

I've been ordering frequently from this website since they have a lot of titles that are not selling in our local bookstores such as Kinokuniya and MPH.

Kinokuniya & MPH books are expensive.

Now I don't know what kind of alternative website that I can buy new book.

I've been trying to purchase books from Amazon website directly and I cannot proceed with the payment etc. Always failed in doing payment

noo

For Arts and hobby books some you can find on Amazon JP. Definitely not as cheap as Book Depository but even with shipping fees theirs still way cheaper than buying from Amazon US (thanks to our shitty currency).

Just helped a friend buying from Amazon JP. Since our local Kinokuniya way way too expensive all price crazily high.

rip

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.

Rip. Bought books from here, best site i would say. Any other alternatives once this is closed?

Amazon Singapore or Kinokuniya/MPH.

Bought a book in 2017. Descartes' Error.
Didn't arrive until today 2023.

Ended up download pirate pdf.
Didn't even finish the introduction.

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.

Who read books anymore?
Ppl watch tik tok vids nowadays

Owaii

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 don't have TikTok but I have books ohwaii.

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.

Guess how much I bought my Akira?

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.

bookurve ada

No worries. Amazon.sg kan ada..

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Fucklah they had everything. Fucking local dogshit shops so hard to find stuff.

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.

review pls. I've never tried this one

local company, free shipping, and cheaper than bookstores

Huh? Seems more expensive than Kinokuniya to me

Better world
Wordery
Amazon
-need to pay for forwarders.

really damn sad although their recent price is more or less kinokuniya...but always better with more alternatives

now i only left with kinokuniya for my manga
