Brenda,

区域购买 means that only certain provinces can buy.

Overseas orders must ship out from Beijing. So if the book is not available in Beijing, then even if it is available in other provinces, dangdang will not ship to us.

However, if we fly to those provinces where the books are available, then we can buy it.

Hi Tarmarind

Noted with thanks.

This is the one. http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=20987854&ref=search-1-pub

BTW, their usual selling price is Y179.40; but I got it for Y135 during a special offer. So if you are not urgent to get it, can wait to see if they have special offers. And this set is impressively heavy - I didn't weigh, but the whole set must be 3kg or something already.

I usually put stuff I like into 我的收藏 - whenever prices are dropped, an email is sent to me. Do like that feature much.

hquek,

I went crazy buying books from dangdang when I was in China last year. In the end, my books weighed about 25 kg. My baggage allowance was only 20kg, so I had to ship back the books by China post. The cost of shipping was RMB 350 !

How to control you tell me? when the books look so tempting, and the prices so amazingly cheap?

Did you pay that price becos you were in the airport already?

Last year I went to Beijing for trip - total number in group 5. 'Thanks' to my books, I managed to hit the 100kg (actually plus a bit) allowance. And I was still lugging many other things by hand. This year a bit worried so I cut down 'brutally' (in my opinion) the stuff I'm buying.

Now whenever I tell DH I want to go China for holiday, he'll look at me knowingly and say 'buy books right'.

I received my books yesterday ! Shipped out on 16 Jan 2011.

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.
