Most Popular Questions

1. Why are your books cheaper?

OpenTrolley Bookstore represents many reputable local & regional book publishers and forward your orders to these companies, enabling us to source more than 1.5 million English books and reduce inventory levels.

We are able to negotiate better prices due to bulk purchase agreements and our exclusive deals with publishing houses and distributors. The cost savings we get from our suppliers and the lower cost of operating online are then passed to our valued customers in terms of better book prices.

2. What is your delivery time?

We deliver your books in 4-7 working days. Working days are Mondays to Fridays (excluding Public Holidays). Saturdays and Sundays are not considered working days.

3. When will a Restocking item be available?

Relatively popular titles under "Restocking" may be available with a week while less popular books needs around 2-4 weeks. We are not able to provide customers with information on when a certain "Restocking" title as this information is not given to us by our suppliers. You can get notified by email once the book is available by using our stock notification service (simply click on the ´Notify me when stocked´ button located on the book´s page).

Payment

6. How can I pay for my purchase?

We accept credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, local bank transfer and cheque.

7. Is it safe to pay with my card?

Yes it is very safe. OpenTrolley Bookstore uses PayPal´s secure online payment gateway for maximum security. PayPal is world´s leading online secure payment processor and has technology far more advanced than local credit card processor such as eNETS. PayPal is owned by eBay, a listed company in the USA.

8. Do you accept debit cards?

Yes, we do accept debit cards.

9. How can I pay by bank transfer?

To pay by bank transfer, add all your books into the shopping cart and then checkout. At the Final Review stage, click the ´pay by bank transfer´ button to place your order. Further instructions will be given.

10. Can I pay by cash?

13. What are Low Stock items?

Low-stock items are items that are available in limited quantity (5 or less) as of our last stock update. Stock update is done at the end of every working day. Low-stock items might have become unavailable at the time of purchase because there is a time interval between our stock update and customers´ time of purchase.

14. What happen if I buy a Low Stock item?

If your Low Stock item is not available, we will notify you via email within 1 working day. You will then have the option of either cancelling the book (and get a full refund for that book) or you can wait until new stock arrives.

Let´s say if you purchase 3 books and one of them is a Low Stock item that is not available. You can only get a refund for that one book if you choose to cancel it. But not the other two. Alternatively if you choose to keep the Low Stock item, we will deliver the two books first and then the Low Stock item separately, at no additional charges.

The Low Stock book will be delivered at the same method as the first two books. If you had chosen courier delivery, there will be a total of two home deliveries. However, if you chose to self-collect the orders, you will need to make two collections.
