Order from Dangdang

[starlight1968sg]

I seriously dont know what this thread is about except cheap chinese story books from China.


If anybody want to get rid of their old stock by selling their good story books even cheaply to me, please PM me. I have no clue in going through online shopping.

Many thanks.

Hi,


I would like to check how to order d books from dang dang when we go China for holiday. Do we put the address of the hotel? Do they deliver to hong kong?

Best to have a china phone number they can contact. I ordered for it to be sent to a hotel (SG managed somemore); and the delivery co conveniently did not call anyone, did not send also. By the time I realised, it was going home time; I did try to call the courier co but no one picked up. Very angry with the co. End of day I did get my refund from dangdang but then, so sim tiah the wasted opportunity. :stupid:

There are 20 books in this order, the box was almost completely split opened, and it was put in a big sack. No damage to the books, only slightly dented at the corners.

I ordered from dangdang many times when I was in China. They used the same type of box and it arrived in very good condition. So it is the shipping process that caused damage to the box, and the box is also not strong enough to hold the books if they are too heavy.

I advise parents to buy just over RMB 100 at a time. I also have a feeling that small parcels will reach us faster.

Most of my deliveries are in crap boxes - the boxes are about to split or have done so. Yes, only small deliveries are received intact.

My first SG delivery - the box split until China Post put the books in their gunny sack like bag...the bag is super hardy. So I got a free handy bag :-P. 2nd time, Singpost had to repack it. I really dunno what kind of lousy cardboard they use.

I also rec bag from CP but the bag quite dirty liao maybe becos of bad weather so I threw it away along with the Singpost bag. CP bag is like cotton, but SP bag is like those use for 10kg rice.

Sure, will update the status to share with all.

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.

Have write out my experience in using 65daiguo. Can read about it here:
