I think it depends on if your parcels are selected for spot checks or not. Really hope your books arrive, if not be sure to let BD know since they are happy to send replacements provided enough time has passed.KJ Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306475344390343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038973872944681265.post-43717104020736900832015-02-24T09:18:53.720+02:002015-02-24T09:18:53.720+02:00Thanks for the response.

I actually asked Books Depository before I ordered whether they would deliver by courier to my home address and they said yes. I thus didn't think that I would need to collect from the PO. I think that also means that some sort of customs duty will be charged.

With the post office in the state it's currently in (I've heard there's another strike in the works) things might be delayed quite a bit. You normally have to collect from the post office.KJ Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306475344390343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038973872944681265.post-57039680203620841742015-02-23T14:32:54.607+02:002015-02-23T14:32:54.607+02:00Hi Everyone.

How long have you all waited in the past for your books? I have been issued with a 10% discount coupon and I would like to buy some more books but I'm nervous to do this in light of the fact that the other books haven't arrived.

If I remember correctly from my purchases that worked out at around R30-R50 for some of the books I ordered. That being said, I received most of mine without having to pay anything extra.<br /><br />It's best to compare the local prices with BD and see if it&#KJ Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306475344390343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038973872944681265.post-3207602831822866972014-12-12T00:14:58.444+02:002014-12-12T00:14:58.444+02:00are there any other costs when receiving the books...are there any other costs when receiving the books? i know they offer free shipping to SA, but what othet costs are payable? i dont want to go crazy & then have a heart attack when i go fetch my books! thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445109750515848679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038973872944681265.post-82253314504353271192014-11-11T18:42:02.694+02:002014-11-11T18:42:02.694+02:00Thanks :) that really helps.

The new one arrived and a week later the missing one showed up too.<br /><br />Admittedly I last ordered from them about 6 months ago, so I can't comment about theKJ Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306475344390343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038973872944681265.post-42624356595385352872014-11-09T11:05:56.060+02:002014-11-09T11:05:56.060+02:00Hi, I just wanted to ask if Book Depository is 100... Hi, I just wanted to ask if Book Depository is 100% reliable? Do your books ever get stolen or not not delivered? Please let me know, as I've had a few bad experiences of packages getting stolen in the past. I'd love to hear anything you gave to say about Book Depository in South Africa. Thanks a million xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333853212804945919noreply@blogger.com
