[bobby29]

as mentioned above. I am quite tempted to buy some of the books there as they are relatively cheaper as compare with local online store.

anyone have any experience to share?

Good store, owned by Amazon now.

Delivery free but a bit slow.

 

[benben]

Indeed, took ~2-3 weeks to deliver my books.
But they arrived in good condition nonetheless.

good titles at ridiculously low price

Bought two books from them. Took about two weeks to arrive in a bubble-wrap lined envelope. Pretty okay and it's cheap.

book depository is good. but usually fishpond.sg has even lower prices. compare using oo.sg!

tried before. 2 packages. one of them was late by 1 week.

Delivery is slow.

 

[andycassidy]

had one early this year. the delivery is a bit dragging took 1 month for the books to arrive. they have good customer service who kept emailing me of the freight's progress, in a way constantly reminding me its own its way

usually fishpond will be cheapest, followed by bookdepository.

I have completely stopped using bookdepository unless they are MUCH cheaper as their delivery is extremely slow. They don't actually use Royal Post unless it is a thin magazine book. It's some forwarder which will then send to WMG Pte Ltd, which takes an extremely long time to deliver to you.

use oo.sg for price comparison.

I used to order from them quite frequently - until I got my kindle. In the early days of ordering with them, there was hardly any delay in delivery. But in the last few times I ordered my books, I would have already forgotten abt the titles I ordered by the time the books arrived.

Delivery took 3weeks+ for me, emailed them and they asked me to wait.

Received books in good condition though

My review: Good price, good books, just that need to be patience, may take 3~4 weeks sometimes... (most of the time within a month just to be safe)

Ordered about 20 books at the same time but they were sent individually so they arrived on different days but no lost mail so far.

mine -shipped on 2/1/13. Received on 15/1/13.

 

[weeyoung]

ya. i tried it some time back. received the books though it took some time for some.

Then, i also tried fishpond. free shipping too. and some of the books are cheaper.

 

[autumni76]

any idea besides fishpond and bookdepository, if there's any other sites that have free shipping to Singapore and the price is *thumbs up* kind?

 

[pretzel18]

I've placed order of 3 books via Book Depository on 28th Mar. 2 books were sent out on 30th Mar, n the other 1 was sent out on 3rd Apr.

However, I only received the 1 (which was sent out on 3rd Apr) today.

I wonder whether anyone here have tried contacting WMG to ask about their orders?
