Anyone bought from Amazon books?

Care to share your experience? Thinking of buying some stuff there? Noticed they also sells camera at fantastic prizes.

Yup, bought some stuff before. Delivered w/o a problem.

Ordered books and dvds before. Everything arrived w/o any delay. However, some of my friends have had packages get lost before or their orders just disappeared after payment. :think:

Bought frm Amazon Japan. No fuss, no muss.

My only complaint was that my package came, and when I opened it, the plastic wrapper wrapping my books was already slit (conspiracy theories anyone? :think: ).

I've had more than 10 shipments of items (CDs and DVDs) from Amazon.com (US version) over the past half-decade and have never had a problem with any of them. Buy in confidence. =^)

Maybe inspected by customs?

Luck of the draw. Singapore censor will inspect sample of items from Amazon, especially if it is listed as DVDs. If they do that, then, it takes longer.

Amazon is by far the best and most reliable on line retailer out there.

Another reliable retailer of DVDs and CDs is www.djangos.com

Sometimes got free international shipping offers.

Good service.Got a damaged book once. Posted a email to them with pics and they sent me a new one free within a few days.

 

[Ashwin]

Ya man.. Amazon is reliable.. ORDER NOW! Lol..!!

 

[Jia Wang]

Been ordering books and DVDs for last two years... So far, no problems at all... reliable...

I guess so. DVDs I understand. Maybe see if there are pornographic hardcore stuff.
But... Books? :think:

Thanks for the feedbacks. I was thinking of starting a collection of top photograpghy books as I browse in the bookshop, think there are not that many variety here. Are good place to get photography books here?

Riceball in Adelphi, 4th floor or Borders has a pretty good collection. so does Kino Ngee Ann City.

 

[XsteelWolf]

Brought Magus of Java from amazon.com, came in neat .

 

[madmacs]

riceball has quite a decent collection. i think they might even bring in a book for you if they don't have stock. go check with them.

I totally agree with Terence and would endorse supporting Riceball too. If he can't find it, then Amazon is very reliable and has vast resources. We've ordered several times from Amazon, and have everything shipped by Vpost, they're fast and efficient.
