Hi! How are you all? Time flies . Nearly a year had passed since the last Mamarazzi update the blog. Initially thought wanna just close it but... oh well.. we will see how as time goes.
Over here life had changed since Covid19 started. There are ups and down . School was like sometimes is on sometimes off. I preferred online class but parents said can't learn much from just an hour of google meet with the teachers 4 times a week . As for google classroom... mostly quiz.
Lucky for me the tuition center is very good. They were prepared for online classes since last year school closure due to haze problem. Now I "see" my tuition teachers more than my school teachers
Mamarazzi remember Big Bad Wolf Books had planned for a books sale back in March but then had to cancelled due to sudden spike in Covid19 cases detected and the whole country went under Movement Control Order. Everyone guai-guai stayed home.
A friend had said that there is a report that book industry is blooming now but it is hard to phantom that for BBW. Their core business is from warehouse sale and their online sales is by their sister co BookXcess. Mamarazzi don't think back in March their online business had matured much. They still depends on walk-in customers .
They have millions of books and can't get them to the customers fast enough. One thing is marketing and another is during times like this, buy books will be one of the lowest priority. Some people lost their jobs this and that.
July came. We were sort of released from "jail" . Economy had started again. Although some parts of Malaysia is having Conditional Movement Control Ordered imposed but people still able to work.
Anyway... what is Mamarazzi "merapu-ing" about. Just that kesian la BBW being hit so hard. Hopefully this BBW Sale will help them to get some income to keep the company going and keep the staffs from being jobless. This is not only about helping local company but also helping those nice and friendly BBW and BookXcess staffs.
The sale is on now till 11 November 2020. You can heads over to https://shopbigbadwolfbooks.com/my/ to check out their offers.
The first 100 customers of each day who buy RM80 and above will be eligible for RM5 discount and 10% discount if buy RM300 and above. Free shipping to West Malaysia for orders above RM180 and 30% discount to East Malaysia with no minimum amount spent.
I managed to login last night as they open up the website early. Did my shopping and Mamarazzi managed to help me check out my cart this morning. Had some problem during checking out but their staff, Dinie and James, had called Mamarazzi and help Mamarazzi to check out her cart after Mamarazi left a message at their webiste.
The website had crashed last night and till now the line is still not stable yet . You may try to login later and support. Best timing will be at witching hours as there would be less traffic.
Happy book hunting everyone! If you encountered any problem during check out time you can drop them a message or give them a call .
Please be patience ya as this is their first time doing Online Warehouse Sale There are sure to be some teething problem but if everyone stay calm things can get sorted out faster.
