You made some good points there.

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

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.

You've got a point also. But sorry to say not alot of ppl will agree, including myself. What is a policy to a company if they cannot fulfill it? Personally I have no issue if it's 1 or 2 weeks late, but make sure it arrive. Of the 2 years buying from Amazon UK & US, only 3-4 parcels didnt arrive and everytime I get a refund and they do send a survey form for me to fill up. Its also extremely upset to say that alot of cheapskate son of the guns are taking the refund policy as a way of making money, but this will definitely come back and bite our leg, its just a matter of time. Regarding the debate or not, for me its just personal preference. Some just donwload the illegal material to watch on their 40"-50" LCD and boast around telling ppl they watch BD stuff, just to feel nice and boost their ego. The example would be a restaurant in Kepong. The boss got a parcel from Pos Laju. He opened it and showed to us (patrons) saying that he no longer watch DVD because of the low quality. Inside the parcel got 2-3 pirated bluray disc, and he told us that the difference between BD & DVD is no fight, even the disc is blue color. I was like wtf.

That is funny.
The other day I was chatting with Bro wiNd, I realised that the people that i know in real life (excluding ppl in this forum) did not watch BD movies. The nearest case is one of my friend watch pirated one. Here everyone sapu BD like no tomorrow! tongue.gif

For standard shipping, Amazon US usually need to wait about 1 month whereas Amazon UK is about 2 weeks before write to Amazon CS. That is my experienced when I used to ship parcel using standard shipping option.

For Priority shipping, this is abit different since everything can track to the records. Both Amazon and us can look at those record to determine whether it is abnormal or not.  No missing parcel is possible in Priority shipping.

For expedited shipping, I have no much experience in this option.  But probably same as standard shipping except waiting time a bit shorter than standard shipping option.

Aiseh, i totally forgot about the priority shipping (cos i have not use it before). if i pay extra, i would expect the service is equal to it. If late delivery, I will ask for refund even the fault is at Ketam.

QUOTE(fadthil @ Dec 13 2011, 04:15 PM)
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

I admit i am lucky when comes to iparcel delivery.
The only thing I dont like about iparcel is the tracking system. It seems like a proper one, but the truth is it does not track. haha, look at the bright side, when the parcel arrive out expectation, it will give me a pleasant surprise!

usually i don't care of AMZ estimation on delivering, i always choose the cheapest mode, however i got upset if my disc cover arrived in bad condition, especially the steelbook, always dented. the standard bluray case can be replace, but not the steelbook and customized boxset
*
u hit the nail on the head! i hate it when the item arrive in sub par condition, i am referring to books that i ordered. I very seldom order BD steelbook though.

The Snowy Statue (made by WETA Collectibles) alone sells for USD40. Now plus the steelbook, it's a bargain buy! But I don't really like the movie.
