QUOTE(azue89 @ Jul 13 2009, 11:36 PM) Just wondering about the shipping charges, is it expensive? And is it safe? Meaning, the books will arrive safely? well amazon's shipping charges are the most expensive online store around... well safe? definitely ya... coz they wrapped it and put it in a box for ya... books arrive safely? ( if it's in USA... u can detect lar... once outside of USA... sorry lar... )Been meaning to try it but well, haven't got the guts, haha. most places accepts credit cards / paypal... ^^ |

QUOTE(snowcrash @ Jun 22 2009, 05:08 PM) Just tried out Acmamall.com's books ordering, ordered 4 books (all in stock) on the 8th, received them today. Delivery time - 2 weeks, Cost 8.50 (free if order > RM 200) pricing low? well... i checked some of the price... not all is cheap... some is EVEN more expensive... ^^Pricing: Note: I'm a HSBC cardholder, so I got an 35% discount on the listed price, I'm not sure but I believe that the other promo is if you order 4 books or more you get 25% off. In comparing the prices, Acma is on average 33% cheaper than MPH & 25% cheaper than Kino (I'm comparing listed price only, don't know what their online discounts -if any- are like). Condition: Good, books arrive shrinkwrapped, then paper wrapped, then inside plastic courier envelope. Overkill? Book selection: Looks like their in stock selection is good. I was able to order 3 commonly available titles & 1 rather hard to order one. Didn't test them on out of stock item or on very new (ie, out overseas but not locally) items. I'll probably do the latter test when the next Malazan/ ASoI&F book comes out. Summary: Price is a plus as they have a better price structure (for me anyway Another (significant) minus is that there is no pre-ordering system for yet to be released books. The pricing alone is good enough that I'll definitely try again, and want to try out their Premium Sourcing system, see if it can work like a ad hoc pre-ordering system. |
