Order from Dangdang

[Milo]

Hi all, is there a limit how much we can order each time for the transaction to be successful?


I’ve tried charging Rmb 556 and it was unsuccessful.

Dear all,

If you have not received your books after 5 or 6 weeks, I advise you to quickly call the bank to dispute the charge. You have up to 60 days from the date that the charge shows up in your account to dispute the charges. Then you don't have to pay until the bank investigates with the merchant.

If you do eventually receive the books, call the bank to settle it.


I think that dangdang.com has changed to another shipping company that may not be reliable. When I ordered from them for about 10 times between Dec 2009 and July 2010, all my orders arrived within 5 to 6 weeks.

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.

nope. but big amounts (I take to be 300 and above, though actual could be lower) tend to be slower. I've tried charging max 800+ in one order. So far, been very successful to get the amount deducted from my card balance; but then whether the order pass through audit, that's the fun part.

So strange :? I placed an order in mid Nov and another in early Dec and guess what my order from early Dec just arrived today. So yipee for that BUT my mid Nov order still no news. Really defy logic.


I guess the ship carrying my Dec order was faster than the one carrying my Nov order :rotflmao:

At least now I have hope.

I was screaming with delight when I saw the package, others might think I won the Hong Bao toto. I waited for it for so long 8wks plus plus liao

The dangdang website indicate the delivery time to be 7-8 weeks. Both of my orders end of last year reached me in around 7-8 weeks.

Hi nz,

why don't you check Singpost website again. I checked just now and to my delight my Nov order just arrived. So most likely I will see my books on Mon or Tues. I can start 四五快读 with DD and DS next wk The Nov one is my big order so extremely that it has finally reached Singapore.

Singpost is now on 5 days work week. I wonder does that have any impact on speed

Hi all,


I managed to order and pay for the books using my UOB visa card. You have to activate the the sms-OTP service, whereby the bank will sms you the One time password to enable the transaction to go through. However, I had to separate my order into a few smaller ones as I could only charge at most Rmb$350 each time...don't know why... :?

My order done on the 17th was approved and sent out from Beijing on the 18th.
