Order from Dangdang

dimsum:

I think AMEX is easier than citibank becos there's no need to enter that secure code. I never encountered any problems with AMEX.

Thx dimsum for the information. I will apply for the DBS AMEX then. I will try to place orders in Nov bah. By then, my renovation has finished and that means more space for books! :lol: I think my hubby is going to :stupid:

If u are eager to get your books, you should place order end Sep/early Oct as the delivery time is quite long (7-8 weeks).

Hi arielle08


From my past experience, if you are using citibank card and the transaction sated failed,it means your transaction did not go through. No $ will be deducted.

However if you are using Amex credit card please be careful. Like what hquek wrote it actually went through although the message wrote failed.

When i was using amex, i did not know and keep submmitting my orders end up have to cancel some of my orders.

Dangdang will refund me but it takes abt 1 month and i lose a few dollars on the exchange rate.

I just tried ordering using citibank card, but saw the same transaction failed message. Should I try again? or only AMEX card can work? Thanks.

I also prefer Amex card. Agree with dimsum that we should order our books early. Dec is gg to be winter time, worry that if heavy snow like last year i think our books will be gg to delay.

Wonderm,


Both cards can use. For citibank card, it is much more difficult to go through. Did you apply the secure code?

If you have amex card, it will be much easier.

dimsum:

hquek, you have all the 3 colors already? I ordered blue series as based on the description, I tot that's the 1st series. Still waiting for them to arrive. aiyah, i tot the font size is big.

I bought the blue one first, and decided that it's very good - so just went ahead to get yellow and red. Plus I like having things in sets...having the numbers jump is quite irritating.

I browsed by age - that's how I know different colours for different age groups. it's not very clear in the description.

lizuan76, what is the security code you are referring? I entered everything requested, including the 3 digits which is at the back of the card. Is that the security code?

I don't have AMEX card and don't think I will apply for one just for this purpose. Do you suggest that I should try with the same citibank card again? would I get the same failure message if I use the same card? or it is normal to require a few tries before it is successful?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Wonderm, i am referring to the below

Did you apply?

Please note once your dangdang order is rejected after you enter the secure code, you must re-create a new order (which will have a new order number).
Do npt keep submitting the same order request.

Hope it help you.

In my opinion eh…it is best to order on your own. Because I have seen some SMH overseas spree actually earn $ from organising it. The list of purchase are not transparent right down to the organizer themselves. They could buy the books and then factor their own shipment cost to others and not the organizer themselves. Provided the organiser scan the receipt and shared this to others. To this date, so far none has practised this. So better to play safe. Unless you are troubled by the hassles and don’t mind paying for others lah.[/quote]


I’m not too sure i only join spree like just abt 3 times cos if the pick up too far for me i wont join. i only tom pang my friend to order when she organises dang dang spree. I know there are many spree organisers in SMH and also read about some "cheating’ others or the products are fake.
