Better World Books - Free shipping worldwide!

This may be a bit late but good news! Better World Books is now offering free shipping worldwide, just like what Book Depository offers!

Before this, Better World charged a shipping fee of USD3.97 per book. They had all these bargain promotions where you can buy a number of books at USD15 but then since I come under the 'outside US' category, there's the USD3.97 per book to think of.

I loved Better World before this because they had a great selection of old and new books (I bet they still do now) at affordable prices. I'm looking forward to shop for books there again. 

The Sweet Far Thing Has Arrived!

Yay! I got a wonderful surprise when I came home today after a really long day at uni. There it was, the package on my table. The book which I bought from Better World Books: The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray.




It was sent out on August 06, 2008 and it arrived today. So, it took around 22 days to come.

I Actually Won Something!

Last month, I've been entering my name like crazy in numerous book giveaways but luck has not been on my side. However, on Monday, I was excited when I received an e-mail from The Kool-Aid Mom, telling me to check out this post. And guess what? I visited her page and saw my name as the winner of a $10 Borders gift card! How cool is that??? She even left comments in both my blogs to make sure I got her message. Thank you so much, Alisha!

Unfortunately, the gift card can't be used in Malaysia! So, Alisha suggested that she buy a book for me from the brick and mortar Borders store and then mail it to me. :D

By the way, I found another online bookstore called Better World Books. Shipping is absolutely free in the USA and only $2.97 worldwide! Isn't that cheap??? I decided to search for The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray and it only costs $14.98 (MYR48.83)! Here in Acmamall.com, it costs MYR63.44 (USD19.46) and in Kinokuniya, it's slightly more expensive. But if I buy from Betterworld, it'd only cost me MYR58.68 or USD18.00, including shipping! It's a brand new hardcover book too.

I really couldn't believe my eyes that night when I saw the amount. I thought I was either dreaming or just hallucinating. I counted everything all over again, converted the currencies back and forth to make sure there was no mistake, checked the page a few times to see if I saw the right price, etc. Finally, I was convinced that it was no joke. It was real and my lucky day!

Since I'm international, the book will take between 10 to 21 business days to reach me. I put my order in on Sunday, 03 August, 2008. I just checked my account and my book hasn't been shipped yet! Hmmm, when are they going to send me my book??? I can't wait for it to arrive!
