Small Preview on the History of Steel Catalog

drdavid · 27th April 2007, 10:05 AM

If you order this through the Macau site http://www.555555.com.mo/shopping/index.jsp?lang=E , (which is the cs@kongseng.com.mo Antonio mentions above) be a little careful as the checkout process appeared to reject my order three times this evening but I now find I have been billed three times for the book. I dont know why this has happened and I am not suggesting they wont sort the problem out for me (fingers crossed) but watch out. I guess the worst outcome is that I will have two spare copies of the book.

Have you emailed them? If so, always have to write in very simple English.

Problem is I advertised that it was available for sale at Shadow of Leaves for quite some time.

Have you registered? Is your computer on a broadband? Would it time out?

Don't lay the blame on me

Best of luck

I do not have a credit card, so I tried to get this book through a friend. We stopped trying as apparently this site is not secure?

I will exceptionally ask the Museum staff to contact them and get an answer about security.
So far I know it belongs to a big telecommunications and cable tv group and it sells tickets online to all concerts and events in Macau.

It is the only way you can get the catalog now. The same Museum staff runs two Museums now, one alongside the other.

and

Macao Hand Over Museum

They are side by side

Way too much work by a great staff

It seems to secure enough . When you click "checkout" the address changes to https:// from http:// and there is the padlock in the bottom Rt hand corner of IE . There are no other recognised security certificates though .

Also when they send you the confirmation e-mail they correctly do not include any of your credit details as email is not secure .

As an extra precaution I have also phoned my credit card agency giving them exact details of the transaction including the amount and have advised them to get back to me with any suspicious activity in europe or the far east or double orders which were not authorised by me .

Despite all this I guess all I can do from now is keep my fingers crossed

I'm sure the Museum will come through for you .

Antonio, how many copies were printed ?

Hi all
I did not mean to give the impression that I thought the site or process was not secure, I am sure it is. Nor am I saying there is a major problem, it is just that the first and second times I tried to go through the checkout a server error message came up, leading me to think the transaction had not gone through when it actually had. If I had checked my email for a confirmation message before trying again I would have realised it had gone through. Antonio I am definitely not blaming anyone but myself for this blunder

, (I have nothing but gratitute to you for enabling such a fine resource to come into being).

You didn't say it, no worries

David. And no need to thank me either.
Just gave a helping hand

It isn't easy though, Rick, but I will check with Sara.

I'm not sure. But since it became so big, it won't reach the 1.000 mark.

~Alaung_Hpaya~ · 27th April 2007, 02:39 PM

Well i've ordered and the transaction seems to have only gone through once - phew

The only oddity is that i've received e-mail confirmation twice in English first then 1 hour later in Chinese ( order rEf is the same though )

As expected shipping is about twice the price of the catalogue itself - can't wait to get my hands on it though
