Uncle DHL's turn. He gave me this:

Notice the cheap white envelop, this the first time Amazon used this for my shipment.

Both for my friend. Package value more than RM500. Thank God it wasn't taxed. thumbup.gif

Yeah, haven't seen any aunties. tongue.gif

I think the white envelop was a good strategy by Amazon. At first I never thought it was a package from Amazon at all, looks very plain like some documents inside.

Was told by one DHL uncle last year, the customs now focus their attention to Amazon boxes, if value more than RM500 the chance is high for it to be taxed. This plain white envelop successfully escaped their attention. thumbup.gif

That's right. Even on standard shipping boxes, Amazon noted blu-rays as 'Music CDs' or 'Audio CDs' instead to divert attention. Also maybe meant for KDN... less possibility for them to suspect any suggestive contents maybe. nod.gif

oh,if we using std shipping,then no  tracking no. la..hurm.i thought std shipping got tracking no..wanna check mine what is their status. smile.gif

The advantage of NOT having a tracking from Amazon is... when your parcel went missing or your parcel kena tax kaw-kaw and you refuse to pay or your parcel kena confiscate from Ketam/KDN etc etc.... then you can tell Amazon it's missing and can request for replacement and/or refund etc. laugh.gif

Wif tracking, you can't lie, right... biggrin.gif

Aha, gotcha! So you lied to Amazon before saying your standard delivery package was missing huh? brows.gif  tongue.gif

No la, haven't try anything like dat... dun want to be blacklisted. nway, so far Amazon customer service has been top notch & really2 good to me for the last 3-odd years, so dun really need these tactics.

Hopefully, i'm not giving "ideas" to someone else who may take advantage... sweat.gif

iirc, the unrated version of Taken has a slightly extended scene where Liam nailed the thighs of one of the baddies and electrocuted him. the unrated version showed a more gory/graphic version. that's about it.

ermm, reminds me of Pearl Harbor. The director's cut dvd got more flying bodyparts.. tongue.gif

Three scenarios:

1. Standard shipping: You'll receive a call from a sexy Pos Malaysia personnel. You have to drive to that big post office near LCCT Sepang, and walk through few counters, pay and bring home yourself.

2. Priority (DHL/UPS): Check tracking online, see something like "customs clearance delayed" after arrival, then in few hours you'll receive a call from a hot DHL/UPS personnel. They'll just acknowledge you, and get your approval to pay and handle on your behalf. You pay to DHL/UPS when they deliver.

3. The first 2 scenarios are just for customs case only. If KDN/FINAS/Censorship Board involved, the plot thickens. You have to write letters, etc and the whole thing could take weeks to months.
How do we JUST get the sexy/hot personnel calling you? laugh.gif

Speaking of Blu Rays... how many of you actually pre-order BDs? How many of you wait for it to come out first then purchase them when their prices drop back down...?
*
I don't... at least now for Blu-rays. I used to pre-order DVDs back in the days, don't really care about price - just the titles that I like. Nowadays, I will usually wait for them (Blu-rays that is) to be released first and monitor the price from there.
