          Hi
          I don't remember the text book covers. I did not get them. On coloured ring files, only one, the rest no stock even at the bookshop.

          I also did not get the bible stuff as no stock. Would look for any paperback version as probably cheaper and lighter πŸ™‚

            If you have items that were missing and not indicated on the credit note, call Pacific, the customer service for online orders was very helpful. They will arrange to deliver again. As for the few English books that are available only in 2012, the lady told me the teachers will hand them out to the relevant children. Other items like the textbook covers, bible, helpmate & etc that are indicated on the pink credit note would arrive earliest end December so she said the safest would be to have the children collect from the school bookstore when school starts. Or keep calling the bookstore end December?!?

              mommy to 3js, looks the uniform shop aunty just wants us to buy a smaller size, so we have to go to them again very soon to buy new ones! :rant:


              From the look of things, I better make a trip down to the bookshop instead of getting it delivered!

                Hi miffymiffy,


                I have oso ordered online. Same as u, i did not receive e complete list. :?

                In fact, all e A4 coloured ring files are missing. did u rec' e ring files?

                All e textbk covers r oso not available. Was wondering if we can collect em b4 sch term starts. Cos if we wait till sch term starts, e bks will prob have dog ears oredi (my DD is v rough in handling her bks πŸ˜“ yes, even for 1 day)[/quote]

                :boogie: Hello cantbearit
                I did not order any ring file as I will be recycling them from her P1. As for textbook, i received ALL except the social studies student folio . Other outstanding items will be the pupil helpmate and ALL the MCS booklets.
                My wild guess is that the teacher will either ask my girl to go collect from the bookshop OR will hand them out in class. Yr girl in P2 also?

                  Hi miffymiffy,

                  Check the booklist for items marked * which means they are only available in 2012. You will need to pay for them now though..

                  :thankyou: Thanks a zillion Phoenix! :rahrah:

                        Same items missing except for the ring files.

                        E MCS booklets shld be handed out by teachers cos saw a small remark beside e item. IM juz puzzled tat e ring files had no markings beside it, unlike e other items wif red pen markings indicating e items r inside e box.

                        E asterix markings for other items have been issued under credit note so I have no issue wif tat. :imcool:

                        guess i will check call eir hotline to chk on e ring files. ey shld at least issue a credit note for it. :rant:

                        Frankly, IM not v pleased wif this online purchase. ey even made a mistake on e delivery date. :slapshead: Luckily I was at hm but wasted an entire nite waiting 4 e delivery man. :mad: Tink I will rather purchase at e sch during e walk-in dates come nex yr. Tis was wat i did last yr & everythg went smoothly.

                        Yes, my DD1 will b in P2 Perseverance. Which class is yur DD in?
