i believe if you have contacted your seller before you bought this item?
you must ensure the seller will include the posting to your country before you buy the item, for this you have to contact the seller and confirm from him. if you have confirmed it, i cant c any prob you might have for buying this item, except the seller is a cheater, or malaysia usual attitude... slow working attitude XD |

hey, thanks for the reply.
I believe I was bought from Amazon itself?! (amazon.co.uk stated as the seller) am I actually buy it from SOMEONE else?! then it's a no, it's too risky. please continue, guides me-as a first timer buy a product in Amazon.com, I hope that I'll be able to write some good review after received my stuff in the future.. |

The product is supplied by a seller but the person you're actually dealing with is Amazon. If there is any problem, you will deal with Amazon and Amazon will deal with whoever.
However, I suggest that you visit a local video/music store and ask them to order it for you. Some bookstores might do it for you too, like Kinokuniya. If you buy from Amazon, they will charge you a very steep international shipping rate. Their free shipping only applied for shipping within UK. |

QUOTE(Maxkhoon @ Mar 14 2010, 11:37 PM) mumeichan, thank you very much :-) Depends what kind of shipping you chose. I'm not sure of the exact price. It may take longer than a month to reach your house, or maybe less.I'll try to order from the book store, but is the international shipping fees really that expensive?like even cost more than the actual product? but it take like a month to reach my home as amazon say because i choose STANDARD shipping, and it only charge me for like under $5? or did I miss look some information? thanks a lot.. or did the amazon didnt show the delivery charge later in Malaysia?perhaps?? I'm really confused..please help..thanks.. Just go though the checkout process all the way until it reaches the part where you have to pay with your CC or Paypal. That will be the total amount you have to pay in all. Make sure you have your address right and the country is set to Malaysia. You won't be charged anything extra later. However, there is a possibility you may get get taxed by the customs, or they may tear open the box, not the wrapping, I mean the actual box with the Friends printed on it and remove the wrapping on the DVDs. These kind of things do happen, just to warn you. |

They are the customs. They don't need your permission to open it.
I remember reading about a case where they used pen knives to cut or damage some collector's box for Coca-cola cans. To the collectors, the box was just as important as the cans. But to the customs, a box is a box and they'll have to open it to check it's contents. |

ohh..i bought DVD video before from Amazon (Battlestar Galactical)
http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica...8825703&sr=8-15 I use credit card to made the purchase It was delivered to the PostOffice near Sepang airport. I have to go there to collect my parcel and pay tax. Lacky they don't block the parcel. of caurse they open it to check and they saw the cover, it look like Star War so they just let me have it. (I guess according to movie film censorship law you need permit to import movie/video, correct me if i am wrong) Now maybe they will deliver it to your home? i am not sure. but later this set of DVD got stolen. (theift broken into my apartment) and than later I saw this DVD set in Singapore last year so I bought one set again. This post has been edited by tanhks: Mar 17 2010, 07:48 PM |
