Wook is the largest online Portuguese bookstore, with International shipping and good book discounts. For comparison purposes, Gonçalo Amaral’s new book at Wook will cost 15,93 euro whilst the price in the publisher online bookshop is 17,70 euro (https://www.bertrand.pt/livro/maddie-basta-de-mentiras-goncalo-amaral/25005660)
The book shipment to overseas destinations outside Europe, i.e. United Kingdom can be done in two ways: International Express Shipping (12 working days) or by International Premium Express Shipping (3 up to 5 working days), this data can be seen here https://www.wook.pt/Ajuda, the help section of the site, under “Expedição e Entrega – Opções de Envio” that is “Shipping and Delivery - Shipping options”. The cost varies according to the delivery option that is chosen during the checkout stage.
Attention:There is a huge backlog at the Portuguese Postal Service (CTT) due to COVID19 and specifically to the UK due to Brexit constraints, Wook states, “international transit times may vary and should be considered as indicative only. In the country of destination, local taxes, import duties or other related expenses are the responsibility of the recipient.”
This tutorial with images is meant to help navigate on the wook site, to pre-order Gonçalo Amaral’s new book: “Maddie, Enough with the Lies!”, with a pre-launch on October 14, 2021. All shipment and deliveries are calculated starting at this date.
First step
1.Go to Wook.pt, that is, https://www.wook.pt
2. Let’s register an account, select Login at the top left of the window.https://www.wook.pt/Login
3. Select “Não tem conta? Registe-se aqui” (You don’t have an account? Click here to register) https://www.wook.pt/registo
4. Fill the data as requested (see image bellow): The email twice, and a password with at least one Capital letter, one Number and a Special Character (punctuation mark or other symbols). Accept the “termos e condições” (T&C) as well as the privacy policy of the site in the checkbox, tick on “Não sou um robô” (I’m not a robot), click “Continuar” (Continue).
5. Check your email to see if Wook.pt validated your registration, you should see an email with a header like: “Bem vindo à Wook” (Welcome to wook)
6. Proceed to the “Área Cliente” (Client Area) https://www.wook.pt/areacliente
7. Let’s fill the necessary data, click on “Dados Pessoais” (Personal data). Add your name, your cell phone number, and your Vat number. Click on “Confirmar” (Confirm)
8. Go back once and now select “Moradas Associadas” (Associated Address), click on “Associar Nova Morada” (associate new address) if the fields aren’t there yet.
Now add your name, your address, from the drop down menu select “Reino Unido” (United Kingdom). Now add your city/town, and your postal code.
Add your cell phone number and your VAT number. Check both boxes, the first one says “use as main shipping address” and the second box “use as main billing address”. Click on “Confirmar” (Confirm).
9. Now let’s go to the page where Gonçalo Amaral book is at https://www.wook.pt/livro/maddie-basta-de-mentiras-goncalo-amaral/25005660
Alternatively use the search field above, click on his face, and then click on the new book. See images.
10. We’re getting there, don’t despair Now let’s click on “Comprar” (Buy)
11. Now you can either select “Checkout” or “Express checkout”, the difference here is that with “Express Checkout” all the data that you added in the previous steps (address, VAT, etc) will be used to fill the order, as explained here https://www.wook.pt/areacliente/moradas
12. At this stage, we are on the checkout window where you can confirm if the data you entered before is correct and change it if needed by clicking where it says “Alterar”. So on the top boxes we have the billing address and the shipping address as well as your personal data.
13. Next we can choose the type of delivery where it says “Tipo de Envio” by clicking “Alterar” (Change) and here it is where you can chose whether you wish the delivery to be, as mentioned at the beginning of this tutorial, by International Express Shipping (12 working days) or by International Premium Express Shipping (3 up to 5 working days). On my end those options don’t appear since I am located in Portugal, but I also can choose between three different options for delivery, obviously the costs vary.
14. Now, bellow, where it says “Selecione o Tipo de Pagamento” let’s choose the payment method, which in your case should be acredit card. All the other options are meant to be used in Portugal, Multibanco it’s a Portuguese ATM system, MB Way it’s a phone app connected to bank accounts and finally at the bottom it0s an option for Student Cheques-
Select “Cartão de Crédito” (Credit Card) and proceed by clicking “Continuar” (Continue) .
15. Now you are back at the screen as seen in the image on number 12 of this tutorial, you just need to confirm the order, tick the box on the left and click on “Confirmar Encomenda” (Confirm Order). You can also see how many working days it will take for the book to arrive, it’s an estimation.
16. Now, to add your credit card details. On the left you can see your order reference, make a screenshot of that or note it down. On the right, click on the orange button that says “Pagar” (Pay) and choose if you want commercial publicity or not in your email in the checkbox under.
17. Now just type your credit card details as you typically do in the next window. On top your credit card number, then the Credit Card validity date(Month and Year MM/AA), then the security code, usually found in the back (3 numbers). On the right you can see the details of your order.as well as the order reference number. Press the blue button to confirm. Again make a screenshot of this window or note it down.
18. You should get a confirmation the transaction went well and a receipt that you can either print or take a screenshot. Again, there is a huge backlog at the Portuguese postal service and all shipments to the UK have been delayed due to post Brexit rules. I hope this tutorial has helped you and that you get GA’s book soon.
