They do. You can find out more from 'Teaching Chinese at home' thread. I think quite a few people have tried dangdang and they successfully order and had it sent to Singapore.


I ordered and had it sent to my friend's place in china. took about 1 plus week and that's becos I'm a newbie so they need to do more confirmation check. Monitored also my credit card account and it seems ok.

You can google dangdang, it's not a fly-by-night company, and i think it's backers quite ok. I was surprised to see.

News in 2010:

HONG KONG, May 17 (Reuters) - Dangdang.com, known as the Chinese equivalent of Amazon.com, has hired two banks for a U.S. initial public shares offering, aiming to list by the end of the year, sources close to the deal said on Monday.

Dangdang.com had hired Credit Suisse to underwrite its long-delayed IPO in the fourth quarter, the sources said, adding that the size of the offering had not yet been fixed. (US$1=HK$7.75)

I should know better those online businesses are generating huge profits and huge cashflow…hundreds of million of Rmb per day.

true, but dang dang’s prices are very hard to beat for chinese books. I went agog! even with the shipping charges factored in, it’s still way cheaper to order from them than buy in SG.
