Hi tamarind


Sometime DD will have promotion price for 2 or a few days. Any idea if I put the book into my shopping cart without payment (lock the price first) while searching for more books, if I make the payment after promotion period, will they still honour the promotion price?

Thanks.

Hi bicky,
I have not encountered that situation before. But I know that when we submit the order, the website will check the availability of the books again, so I guess it will also update the price. My guess is that the price will be updated to the current price, not the promotion price. I am guessing only, anyone else who has encountered this, please comment.

Upon payment processing DD will use whichever current price that is applicable. I know because I had a promotional item in my cart. However, I was having some problem paying and by the time I made payment, the promotional period was over. DD used the normal DD price for the item.

Now DD having promotional price for many of its books, able to get some books at even cheaper price. Pity about the long delivery time. Well there's always opportunity cost somewhere. As a SAHM I'm willing to wait so as to enjoy the savings which I can use to buy more books for my kids.

[quote=\"wonderm\"]Received my first batch of books from Dangdang yesterday. All the books came in good condition. As a reference, my order went through on 3 Oct and received the books on 25 Nov. They were great gifts for DS who received PSLE result yesterday.

That's mean the lead time is almost 7.5 weeks.

Just received the 2nd batch of books ordered on 11 Oct. So the delivery is really 7 to 8 weeks.[/quote]I ordered mine also on 11 Oct, just received today!

Just to share, to speed up the order processing time, you can put extra $$ in your account for future purchases. Last night, I placed an order using the balanced amt in my account and viola! the books were shipped out TODAY!! It’s really fast.

I don't understand. Can you elaborate more? I thot if we pay by credit card, each transaction is the exact amount to be paid. So how to have extra $$$ in account?

i am so sorry! u are right, if pay by credit card, it will be exact amt deducted. I forgot all about that. So, pls IGNORE what I said! i was just too happy to see shipment out in less than 24 hours and wrote without using my big brain to think.

For my case, DD refunded me $ because I didnt receive the books on one of my orders. They placed the refund into my DD account instead of my credit card. That's why I have balanced amt in my account.

I borrowed from the library but found the books so beautiful that I bought them to keep. The storyline is good that I think the kids will appreciate it better when they are older

Yes. DD loves the series of book so much and refuse to let me sell off after she had read.

The storyline is really good and it covers much more than what she has learnt from the text books. We’re so impressed with words likes: 尴尬 肺腑之言, 痴心妄想, 皮笑肉不笑, 多一事不如少一事 etc

I especially love children books translated from Japanese authors.

:? then I'm not sure why it took so long. My experience is that it's usually quite fast, the only delay is when I order during the wkends

Perhaps can consider 窗边的小豆豆系列（共六册）which translated from Japanese authors. Seems like this book are recommended to P6 students in China. Think of getting for dd to read during this holiday.
