        The shipping for each book is 50% of it's retail price (not DD price). If you add it, it's like paying for the price of the book at retail price plus a few rmb.

          Maybe when the rmb is stronger, then it might not be worth it anymore because then the price might be comparable to when purchase during Book Sale period.

            I received an email saying that they have received the fund? So I guess my order went thru?

              Yup, now just have to wait for the email stating that they have despatched the books.

                If first order, maybe will receive a email to verify card details first before the dispatch email.

                  Other alternatives would be to order through sprees in the singaporemotherhood.com, or http://www.65daigou.com. I have never ordered from them before, not sure whether they are reliable or not.

                  While waiting for my books from dangdang which is taking forever (no, it's not 8 weeks yet, so I am still waiting patiently), I saw this post from tamarind and decided to give 65daigou a try.

                  2 things I want to test out.
                  1. The delivery time
                  2. The delivery cost

                  In the end, I want to see if it is worth it. If I end us paying slightly more but a much faster delivery, I may just go with them in the future.

                  Ordered this morning at 1.30am, have acknowledge receipt of my 1st fund transfer but yet to place order with dangdang. Let's see how long they take.

                  πŸ™‚


                  Do let me know how it goes. I want to use http://www.65daigou.com to buy things from taobao.com πŸ˜‰

                    SAHM_TAN, nz,

                    I am happy to hear that you have received your books πŸ˜„

                    I will be very disappointed with dangdang if I cannot buy books from them.

                    Pls share your delivery time when you rec your books. I just want to check if my delivery time is now the norm or was it because of the bad weather that cause the delay. Thanks

                    OK I am waiting for an order shipped out on 16 Jan 2011, will post here when I received it.

                      More than 44hrs after initial placement of order, they still have not place order with dangdang. Wonder how long will that take. BTW this order from dangdang are those books not available to ship to Singapore but ship to ShangHai (where 65daiguo.com is located), so can use this method to buy some of the books previously out of our reach. That is if this order goes through smoothly. Haha...

                        That's right ! There are some good books that I want to buy, but out of stock in Beijing.
