Order from Dangdang

fluffyboy:

I am intending to use the 'pay when goods arrive' and the books to be delivered to my hotel in Shanghai. Should i use the express courier? Then since i wont be staying in the hotel whole day to wait for the books to arrive, will the courier call my mobile before reaching? Can let me know how it works? Thanks

This is a consolidation of other parents' experience.

You will have to provide a local number (ie China) for them to call you. The courier will not call international number.

When the DD order is confirmed, you will see the courier number on your online order. Suggest call them and nicely explain your situation and ask for their help to deliver the package at a pre-arranged time so that you are around to rec the package and pay for it. Heard from other parents' experience the courier will not wait.

Also suggest to use express, it's not expensive and in case there's any hiccup (touch wood), you will have more time to contact the courier and try to resolve it.

Good Luck

Thanks hquek and Brenda10!


By the way, does anyone remember the Dangdang promotion back in end Mar 2011? I remembered clearly and noted down that the 促销 was 满150元返30元 because I purposely purchased 150元 worth of books. However, when I emailed DD to check they mentioned that there was no such promotion. They said it was 返20元. Was I wrong? :?

hi all, someone posted DD books for sale - there are quite many titles. She's priced it quite competitively (ie if you were to ship via DD). The books are brand new. I just got my order from her. I compared with DD pricing - there may be a bit of savings, or even none; but I get the books very quickly (meet and pass) and none of that DD grief.
