Re: Stewart's new books: Canivorous Plants and Their Habitat
 
any updated news?

fishoman 12th August 2010 04:19 PM

Re: Stewart's new books: Canivorous Plants and Their Habitat
 
Sorry for not updating for so long. As I was waiting for the author’s final confirmation on the shipping part. At first he told me that the books will be printed in Hong Kong, and all our books will be shipped directly from HK to Malaysia, which apparently can save us some money on shipping. But things don’t work out smoothly here, he shift all his printing project to India instead and India quoted me almost RM2K for shipping those books to Malaysia. This is absolutely and ridiculously expensive, I could have bought a return ticket to India and hand carry back myself.

So I rejected this offer and ask him to ship from UK instead. And now, he will be sending by DHL Express.

One set of book , including shipping fr UK, Paypal fees and re-shipping charges from my place to other places in Peninsula Malaysia is RM350.

It is still cheaper than buying direct from his website though, and please bear in mind that the retail price of these books will be increase from GBP29.99 to GBP34.99 per book from this week onwards.

For those who have pre-ordered, please transfer the money to me :
Maybank 1070-2241-6631 Lim Aun Tatt

Hopefully we will get the books by next weekend.
Thanks!
