Mamarazzi started to do review for Booksneeze.com after Auntie Cleffairy introduce the said to her.
During this time, she had requested quite a numbers of books from there. The publisher, Thomas Nelson Publishing, would send the books/DVD to us using Normal U.S mail. Why normal U.S Mail? Coz it's more cost efficient. Just imagine, so many people all over the world requesting ARC from them and what would happen if they send using courier services. It would be very expensive indeed.
Under normal circumstances, the books/DVD would arrive to us safely. However, Mamarazzi noticed recently books with certain words tends to go "missing".
She tried to contact the Custom and the Pos Service and both are unable to help as the parcel does not have tracking number. A lady in Custom suggested maybe the books/DVD are with one of the "Kementerian"
What sort of books/DVD that tend to go missing you may ask.
Mamarazzi requested "Immanuel's Veins" in August 2010. Then "The Big Red Holy Bible" in December 2010. And January 2011, she requested "Read and Share: The Ultimate DVD Bible". These three seems to have got missing. Maybe gone to books and DVD heaven.
Another friend who have requested "Read and Share: Stories About Jesus" in January also did not receive the book.
Why books with certain words tend to go missing? Is it some sort of divine intervention or is there a reasonable explanation to it? Maybe Mamarazzi just don't have "fate" with books/DVD that contains certain words in their title.
Mamarazzi had reported "The Big Red Holy Bible" lost and Booksneeze and sent a replacement via FedEx immediately.
Now "Read and Share : The Ultimate DVD Bible" seems to have gone missing too. Should Mamarazzi report this lost to Booksneeze? Mamarazzi really "paiseh" at Booksneeze team coz they have been so kind and sent the Bible via FedEx. What if this round they do the same too? What if this round it went missing again? What would Booksneeze people think?
I guess, from now on it is better for Mamarazzi to avoid requesting books and DVD that have certain words in their title no matter how innocent to word maybe.

The thing is dont know where it all went. No sound at all. Kastam say if tahan they will send card. So it's not with them.
Maybe those books and dvd fly fly in the plane and accidentally dropped into the big wide sea gua
Mammarazi,
Just read this article :
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/3/13/nation/8258930&sec=nation - It happened in Sarawak & is it possible it's also happening here

Noted. But the ones from Booksneeze are in English and not printed in Indon. If like this whoever that tahan the bibles and children bible story is giving Msia a bad name. WHat would the world think of us Msian?
I heard the same thing from a friend b4 too!
The last one i received was Jesus Inquest..it came through...malu to say i have not finished the book yet...therefore have not request any yet.
