希望沒有記錯，「書人」同「藏書所」是姊妹公司

早幾年bookdepository.co.uk被Amazon收購了。

至於thebookpeople.co.uk, 他的姊妹店是Redhouse.co.uk，不過最近似乎已整合為一。

每本書計郵费，豈不好贵？我見fishpond書价不高而且包運費，是否化算些？刚第一次訂了6本書，希 ...

所以普遍來説買collection (or you call it boxed set)最抵，只當作一項來收運送费。上去開個戶口及選些書作試算便清楚。

無論你想要的只是一本書或是一套書，想要省錢還是要貨比三家的。

would VAT be exempted at checkout?

There was no VAT in my past experience shopping online (say, from Amazon, bookdepository, fishpond, thebookpeople ... etc.).

As I cannot tell when the law will be changed to impose it, please do check the final payment amount (that should be the sum of all shopped items plus delivery charge) before confirming the payment with your credit card or Paypal ... etc. If there is anything in doubt, please contact the shop's customer service before confirming the payment or cancel the placed order asap. Most online shops allow free cancellation before they really started working (say, packing and delivering) on the order. However, if the online shop is accepting your order on behalf of a third party seller, the situation may become more complicated.

Thanks for the Info.

是否買幾多運費到香港都係 £20? 如果係就要一次過買多啲，最好同埋 book set 一齊買。



  ...

No, the delivery charge is calculated per item. For light items, the Delivery charge is less.

When checking out the shopping cart, the delivery charge will be calculated. At that point, you can consider and proceed payment only if you are happy with the deal.

huba

Note that a box set is counted as one item. However, it will be counted as 15 items if you order the 15 books separately.

套書抵買，但 individual item 就好多時唔夠book depository 平。

都係嗰句，買嘢要貨比三家，唔好乜嘢都去晒一家舖。就好似百佳、惠康、吉之島，不同時間各有各抵。

今日下午，我都收到啦！不過原來唔送上樓，要自己去拎，都好重



  ...

唔送上樓？咁你要去哪處收取？會否是曾送上樓但沒人在家收取，所以才留下通知請你去收取？

我要去郵局到拎

你手上的通知卡說曾經在某日某時派送不成功，對嗎？你能否肯定當時家裏有人嗎？

我直頭係無派過，只係出張卡話有大型郵件，要自己去郵局拎

其實我想講的也是類似經驗，試過幾次家裏有人但國際郵件派送組都只留下張通知卡在我信箱說已嘗試派送但我家無人接件，所以要我去郵局領取，最後經過投訴才派上我家。

唔會咁做㗎，件貨唔見邊個負責？因為唔係courier service, 唔駛簽收，郵差一定唔會放去座頭㗎



  ...

上星期我在fishpond.com 訂了一本書，昨日送到但我一家出了街，郵差交了給座頭，回到家時座頭便轉交了給我。

投訴？對方有一般郵寄，應該只限一次派件咋喎。又唔係speedpost，又唔係SF 。一次上門唔見人，叫你去郵局自 ...

如果他們真的有嘗試上門派送，我不會去投訴。

我以前的數次個人經驗是家裏有人，但只在信箱收到張通知卡叫親自去郵局取。由於這情況重覆發生，我才跟郵政提出。

我發現唔同公司做法唔同，fishpond會擺低響看更度，以前bookdepository一定派上門，無人響度就要去郵局攞 ...

我相信主要看他們在香港是用哪家派遞服務，座頭話我知最近這次
fishpond是透過郵差(即香港郵政HK Post)派的。

至於bookdepository, 印家中早期(當她還是bookdepository. co.uk 時)，她們是用Royal Post 到香港透過HK Post 來派送，那時的服務很穩定可靠。但被Amazon收購後不久就轉用Swisspost，然後就出亂子常寄失，之後再改回透過HK Post 派送。

根據最近的個人經驗，透過HK Post作派遞的國際郵包上門找不到人便會交給座頭，但透過HK Post作派遞的本地郵包上門找不到人便只會留低張收件通知卡在信箱。

即係先前bookdepository係當本地郵包？amazon收購咗幾耐？我呢2年訂書又未衰過喎 ...

已是幾年前的事，網站也已由.co.uk 轉成.com.
