Did anyone go to the MPH warehouse sale last weekend?

Hi hquek

Think I have read one of your previous posts about getting books directly from UK. I am going to be there for a couple of days in about 3 weeks' time. Is there sufficient time for (is it Amazon or book depository?) to deliver directly to where I am staying?

So sorry busymom for late reply. For bookdepository, I think the price is inclusive of shipping so don't bother buying there. You should look at

http://clubs-shop.scholastic.co.uk/
http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_home_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100

These 2 are typically very good for booksets and I am not sure but would think that 3 weeks is enough. Though I still would encourage you to send an email to query your order and check if they can deliver on/before that date.

If you are a newbie in amazon, there may still be PRIME membership that you can trial. Sign up for the trial (but make sure that they don't auto continue) and you can have your stuff delivered overnight.

Luckily, uk is way better than china - I nearly tore my hair out trying to match dangdang's timing to my travel in Beijing.

2 things you can do:

1. Ne'ermind, the books on sale are not the ones you bought;

2. Go and get more to reduce your loss. :celebrate:

By the way, is there any further shortlist discount/promotion? For some reason, I am always missed out for the shortlist. :x

For borders, I believe there is a return policy within 7 days with receipt.
