haha... should've learned last year from me maa... a basic technique; not even farming... just plant enough trees. by the time in december (now), the grown trees can become a good sun shade to your parcels at least! laugh.gif

My first batch Black Friday 2011 haul....

Order shipped: 21 November 2011 (22nd M'sia)
Shipping: Standard via iParcel
Dilepaskan Kastam: 7 December 2011
Arrived on my parkway: 10 December 2011

user posted image

Am quite surprise; knowing how iParcel works actually.... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

funny thing is, only The Crow has the top white sticker... the rest (except Jurassic Park boxset) don't have that... only normal shrink-wrap! hmm.gif a rather unusual for a US-release style...

I'm very happy with amazon. Choosed expedited shipping for 21 BDs. Order placed on 25 nov however I kept making revision and finalised on 29 December.  Amazon shipped via DHL and UPS.
2 parcels arrived on 1Dec, 1 on 2Dec, 4 on 5dec and last on 8Dec.

Satisfactory delivery and wrap!
Hope they decide to release andship some ps3 games in near future!

Stuck at Customs not necessary mean bad.  tongue.gif Amazon CS just wrote to me to refund all shipping charge of US$64 since now already 3 days behind estimated delivery date.
haha... what i meant to bro maskedchan was to stress him a point that if stuck at his tree at least it was much easier to retrieve the parcel because it was already at his home laugh.gif

QUOTE(low98944 @ Dec 13 2011, 12:50 AM)
Strange, Customs delay my parcel without any explanation. If really need to pay tax, the shipping charge refunded, I think, should be able to cover the tax, if there is tax lah.  hmm.gif
good for you... maybe if further delay, who knows... full refund maybe? brows.gif like what happened to me during BF last year, one of my delayed order shipped via iparcel (not sure if it was caused by delay at Customs) was refunded in full amount after estimated date overdue... so when i received it - it is a free new year present! rclxms.gif

if u want to continue buying from them i think its better to not abuse this privilege, cause i have few friends having their cc black listed and can't purchase bd from amazon anymore, too much refunds and claims lol....  biggrin.gif
but knowing for facts that our purchase are insured by them , really makes its safer to buy from them...

bro, you are right but in these cases, it was not our fault because Amazon in the first place appointed a not-so-efficient shipping company namely iparcel to distribute their products worldwide where more than often, goods went MIA or very much delayed for some strange reasons.

As a consumer (and their customer), we just exercise our rights by informing them the goods didn't arrive on the estimated dates given by them. I can understand your concern (and mine too) if we abuse this privilege by demand them refunds blindly. The refunds I received was at their own will. nod.gif

QUOTE(SowYau @ Dec 13 2011, 10:41 AM)
Yes, it's our right as a consumer to file a complain if there is late delivery. But i seems to notice some of us (in my hazy memory) ask for refund even a week late delivery. I mean a week! Are we really really so keen and in urgent to watch the movie in such a hurry? Or while waiting for the new BD arrival, can we watch other 70 BD titles that we have not watch before (some still in shrink wrap)? I think we should wait a week, then we complain, if after 2 weeks, we ask for refund or partial refund. It's not something that we are so urgent to get within the estimated time, example say I order a astronomy telescope because I have a star gazing trip in the next few weeks, but Amazon fail to deliver within the timeframe, then of cos i am pissed.

I fear for the day when Amazon retracted their policy and bar their items to be delivered to here anymore. It could happen, because they may feel it's not worth the hassle to deal with all those refund of late delivery and lost delivery, and most of the time, Amazon knows it's not their fault but our Ketam and Pos Malaysia's fault. I also dont know where does this mentality iParcel-service-suck comes from, I have about 8 times delivered by them, only once is late, 2 months late.

Have u guys notice those 3rd party sellers in Amazon, all of them can deliver to Singapore but not here, even an idiot can tell u it's not due to geographical reason why they can't deliver item to here.
Yup, I do agree on your statement that some request for refunds even when one week late than estimated arrival date. One thing for sure I never do that, most of the time it was Amazon who offer me the refunds. I even once told them I don't want refunds but the goods I bought instead.

Regarding the iparcel service… maybe you are one of the lucky ones. Eventhough I'm not a big buyer like some sifu here, I've been purchasing dvds & bds from Amazon for 5-6 years now and based on that record, I dare say that there's something wrong with iparcel service because before they were appointed by Amazon, only one time that a standard shipping parcel came very very late! nod.gif

Another noob question.

If I buy 3D BD can I watch like normal 2D BD on none 3D tv ?
*
To own 3D stuff is a lot of investment; not only you need a 3D-capable display, a 3D-capable Blu-ray player & an active shutter glass (you need a pair at least), you even need the new hdmi 1.4 cable and possible a 3D capable receiver/amp to run the 3D signal if i'm not mistaken hmm.gif maybe some sifus here wif 3D knowledge can elaborate.

For me personally, I can't afford 3D gears and don't quite fancy it.... image felt very restricted & an uncomfortable viewing pleasure! 3D possibly I will enjoy at cinema; one time - yes... but at home on repeated viewing - no. unless 2D version came together with it, but then again it's redundant, might as well buy the 2D version only. if i was given all the 3D gears for free, i'd probably only buy "Real 3D" movies (movies shot with 3D camera) like Avatar, Pirates 4 rather than post-3D like almost every other movies out there nowadays... smile.gif

Actually I thought Rango already run out of stock for its slipcover cause I saw some forumers post their picture without slip when their received their copy.

I suspect that maybe because, this time, my BDs is not taken from store that their usually ship to me like store at LOUISVILLE.  But this time, Amazon shipped my BDs from SPARKS. SPARKS leave US using SAN FRANCISCO GATEWAY.  But based on my past experience, most of the time my parcel will ship from LOUISVILLE and leave US at CINCINNATI HUB.

But 2 of the my most recent parcel is from SPARKS.  Maybe LOUISVILLE already run out of stock for those BDs.  hmm.gif
You really lucky.  For this year, I only 2 to 3 times got "direct release" chop.  sweat.gif

Correct, I was hoping Star Wars gave a good deal during BF, but nothing... but I'm not so fancy the way the discs were stored in the US set.... still preferred if they sit on the plastic spindle nod.gif

Actually something scary nearly happen to my HP set. sweat.gif

The postman arrived my house early morning at 8 something, he press my door bell, put the package at my gate & then just left. My wife heard the doorbell, so she came down to check it out, guess what, a stranger who walked pass our house saw my package & tried to STEAL IT! vmad.gif

Fortunately my wife came down just in time, the stranger saw my wife & quickly walk a way, if not, i will loss my HP set & never known why it got lost. So, now i have to factor in another reason our package got loss - it got stolen even when it arrived our doorstep.  vmad.gif

One more thing, the stranger is not a begger nor any low life scumbag, but he is a well dress man and he was with his daugther. what kind of father who try to steal something in front of his own daugther?  shocking.gif
Maybe the stranger & his daughter are being sent from Hogwats? laugh.gif

I can understand what happened to you there. I have a chance to speak to one of the usual postman who delivers my parcels & letters around my area before and told him to drop the parcels in my compound and never leave them at the top of the gate... that would resort him throwing the parcels over but i really don't mind because the parcels are air-bag protected.
