Just bought: Wonder Girls debut album

The pre sale for Wonder Girls debut US album is up and they’re running a special promotion for the first 1,000 pre-order. The first 1,000 pre-order will get autographed CD and a laptop case. Although a friend has kindly pre-ordered me one at the concert, I still got one myself just in case and to show my support. I can always  give the CD away as present. I mean, it’s autographed! Or so I hope.

The website for pre sale is http://www.wondercdpresale.com/

The site looks dodgy but Wonder Girls and JYP had confirmed it. It seems like it’s run by the same people who runs Jonas Brothers Merchandise Official because when you pay by paypal, it says you’re paying for Jonas Brothers Merchandise.

I’m not sure when it’s officially released. They haven’t even finalised the cover art yet.

I can hardly wait for Wonder Girls US debut album. Especially an autographed one!!

Comments:

 I first came across eThaiCD when I was looking for Dong Bang Shin Ki concert DVDs. After comparing prices from several other sites, eThaiCD was the cheapest. The DVDs were Thai edition and comes with Thai subtitle, other than that, the contents are exactly the same as the korean edition. The subtitle can be turned off so it didn’t bother me at all. The DVDs are legitimate (not burnt copies) so I was very happy with them.

I have also bought some of their Thai magazines. I personally think they’re a little pricey for its quality. But considering it has free shipping, I still buy from them because I don’t know where else to get them.

What I love the most from eThaiCD is the customer service. I have twice emailed the store manager for special products that they don’t have listed on the site but I know they have been released in Thailand. He promptly replied to me (within minutes) with detailed information. He’s also very honest with the price and quality. The first time he told me what I was looking for was not worth the shipping cost but he’ll still get them for me if I want to (I ended up not getting it). The second time, he told me honestly the quality of the goods and again, he will get it if I still want it (which I did get and very happy about).

They’re also quick in replacing damaged item. Once I ordered a photobook and there was scratches all over it. I complained and they sent me a brand new one immediately at no cost without me having to return the damaged item. That’s what I call commitments!

Overall, I highly recommend eThaiCD for anything Thai! They also have english movies but I’ve never ordered them so I’m not sure how’s the quality but considering they only sell legitimate stuffs, I’m pretty sure they’re good.
