Hello Tamarind and other mummies who have bought the 哆啦a梦彩 色收藏版,


I am having trouble getting the fill set of 哆啦a梦彩1-6 色收藏版 as they are not available at Beijing Dangdang and #3 is OOS liao at Dangdang.

May I know is there any difference between http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=9165243&ref=customer-0-B and http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=9275455&ref=search-1-pub ?

Oops, i just realised my comments this afternoon did not come out. I bought the pocket size coloured doraemon. Each book is smaller than B5,rather thin & words smaller than usual doraemon books. But my gal loves it coz she finds them cute & easy to carry.

Thanks Keekee. For now I need to buy books with bigger words bah to boost my boy confidence. The size of the words must be slightly bigger than the chinese newspaper. HAHAHA

Brenda,

I have encountered this before, placed the order when the item is showing as in stock. Then later I was informed that the item is out of stock. Dangdang will refund you the money. You can email them to check.

Thank you Tamarind, I will monitor for another week and see is this amount refund to Credit Card Company.

Wow. Their refund is quite fast as I can view it from the Bank Statement on line. .

Just to share. If buying books in set, do check if the titles are sold separately because it might be cheaper

I agree. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy each book separately instead of getting the set. Also sometimes sets are oos but individual books are still available.

I'm one of those anal ones that need to complete whole set type. If differential is not much, I prefer to place single order for the set. For me, it's quite trauma to pick and select and make sure all are in - so very easy to miss out a book. At least the book print versions are the same.

micolh,
dangdang is not a publisher, it is a huge online bookshop selling almost all books published in China. The collection of Chinese books in Popular is very small in comparison.

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese children's books that you can order from dangdang, many of these are very very good and cannot be found at Popular.

Popular is only good for assessment books, not story books.

You are using Visa right ? I think Amex takes much longer.

Way better, sorry to say but where chinese books are concerned, stuff in popular cannot even see the dust from dangdang. Don't talk about Singapore/Malaysia, most bookshops I've been to in china cannot match the variety (and price) of dangdang.

Thing is, dangdang seem to have a lot that are dangdang special (I'm taking to mean it cannot be found elsewhere) - good example is 'ka mei la' books. Everyone whom I recommend to love this set of books, and usually end up buying a set even after I have lent to them.

I have to pay 50% of retail price as shipping, but I still would go the dangdang route becos it's still cheaper.

Hi Tamarind,

Yes. I can view from the statement both \"Debit\" and \"Credit\" took place same date.

Yes the ka mei la books (不一样的卡梅拉) are really good. In fact, I bought the older set of 6 books last year, then recently I also bought the new set of 10 books because it includes 4 new books. It is really worth it !

I think the people running Popular probably do not know that such good books exist :roll:
