I am delighted receiving this book and I would like to share my happiness with you. I ordered “Inside the House of Money” from a UK book supplier, The Book Depository. It was recommended by a kind reader of this blog – AL Ong, thank you!
What’s so impressive about this supplier? It delivers to your house for free! And it is cheaper than most sources, including from your local book store. Many times, I dread ordering books online as I have to pay for delivery if I just want to buy one or two books. For example, Berkshire Business Books charges S$5 for delivery if you spend less than S$75. Amazon offers the greatest variety and at the cheapest price, but because of the delivery charges, it ended up more expensive than The Book Depository. Hence, it seems like I would be using this supplier until I find a better deal.
The picture below shows how the package looks like. It was hand delivered to my house.
The 2nd picture shows the package is bubble wrapped which protects the book well.
Lastly, you can see the order form that states the order date was 28 May 10, and I receive this on 3 Jun 10. The book is delivered within a week and it is considered fast! The book is in immaculate condition even for the cosmetics conscious reader. Yes, I am one happy customer 
PS: I actually left out my unit number in the order address. I email the helpdesk and the response was within 24 hours. The book was shipped to my house without any problem.

Hi,
I was thinking of buying some books from Amazon.. and use Borderlinx as the 3rd party shipping..
But you were saying Buy direct from this UK store will be cheaper?
IS it true in my case then? (I know shipping from Amazon direct is gonna cost quite a sum, especially I’m going to order 4 books.. all about technical analysis / trading)
May I have your opinion please.

Hi Faustine, if you buy in bulk, it can be cheaper to get from Amazon.
To be sure, you can always compare by clicking around to find out the real costs!

Thanks Alvin… Though it seems getting from Amazon is cheaper.. but am confused with the shipping..
I have compared Borderlinx’s standard shipping which takes MAX 6 days and compare with Amazon’s Priority Shipping…
Seems.. borderlinx will be cheaper as I’m going to order not only 4 books now… hehe.. gonna order more.. and some bluray DVDs
Hooray!

juz wish to let inform that “The book is delivered within a week ” is not always true. I have ordered a book from The Book Depository on 27 Apr 2011, and till now I have not received the book. I have not tracking number from them , and the website status juz state “Shipped” without giving me the tracking number.
I have juz email them asking for the tracking number.
Hopefully I can get some answer from them….

Yes Fabian. It is more like “delivered within a month” based on my experience.
