Sounds like the beginning of a mystery book. I hope you will keep us posted on what you find out.

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Strange boxes from Taiwan
Starting in June we have been receiving boxes of books from Taiwan with packing slips almost entirely in Chinese. The address labels show From: Books.com.co.ltd on Chang Chun road Taipei.
I have no idea why we have been getting these packages. As we have no record of any orders with them. They have correct names and addresses. Twice I have received phone calls from DHL express with a recording telling me there is a package on the way.
I think I found them at http://books.com.tw and used Google Translate to read the site and found a form to contact customer service, http://www.books.com.tw/question/inquiry/
I have not had a response, but today I got another call from DHL telling me a package is on the way only a week after the last package.
Nothing has shown up on our library credit card and we have not received any invoices or statements in the mail.
Is anyone familiar with this bookstore and it's method of operation?
Thanks for any help.
