Already get reply from Amazon, this is their site issue, they are fixing it at the moment.

Currently all purchase need contact them if you notice the Shipping cost is abnormal.

I have that problem too and made two complaints - one through the online chat and another follow up with an email to their customer service. I must say their customer service is top notch!!! Not only they have upgraded my entire order to Expedite International Shipping (from Standard Shipping), they even waive off the entire shipping charges...yes...zero dollar shipping cost.

That really inspire me to place another order right now!!

I won't happy in Expedited upgrade, high possibility is i-parcel crap.

Well, bro Andrew...you could be right but I beg to differ from my perspective.

It's FREE! so can't complaint much about this. And so what, if there is a 99.9% chance of late delivery - if Amazon continue to give me free shipping, I don't mind choosing "very slow international shipment" if they have such thing rclxms.gif

I believe your value goes for speed while mine goes for "value-for-money" I don't mind watching the film 1-2 months later - it does not deteriorate the quality of the film. You are willing to fork out more and you deserved to get the quickest shipment and I being a "kiasu" guy deserves to get it much later cry.gif

Cool bro, be cool...let's bring happy moment watching our BDs and enjoying the fruits of our hard earned money

It still not fixing up, don't tall me we need to inform customer service every time when we purchase?!?

Is it? I am not too sure, I did not place any order since two days back.

But under no choice, we (being the customer or consumer) have to use our rights...So there should be no shame in contacting them since we are at right but you could be a little bit "firm" in your email about this in-convenience. Ask them to track your purchasing record for the past 12 months (I am very sure you are in the TOP 10 most spending customer rclxms.gif ) and put up the seriousness you see in this issue.

You have the rights, the facts...Amazon will act on your case with relevant financial compensation to ease you off.

Good luck and share with us your dealing. I want to make further purchase this weekend....

By the way guys...I bought some titles which offer some USD5 for the online copy (rental 48 hrs or download copy). But the service only restricts to US address only.

Is there any way we could use those "credits"?

What bother me about UK Limited Number set is there is 19 discs, but their already mentioned Blu-ray+DVD, that mean at least 8 Blu-ray and 8 DVD.  The balance 3 is probably 3 BD for extra. The photo book, I think, is same as WB exclusive photo book include in Harry Potter 7 Part II.

Too few extra in that Limited Number set.

Thus, if I only want to buy the cheapest complete set, currently US box set is cheaper than this limited number set.  So, I paid extra $ for Limited number?  hmm.gif

I'll be patience and wait for the release of the ultimate editions. I already have 1 to 6 UE. just two more to complete the collection to fill in my display cabinet

Actually, I got 1 UE and still waiting the rest of UE to lower down their price.  sweat.gif  Already wait for more than 1 year +.  I miss the chance when 2 UE reached lowest price.  cry.gif

Actually try B&N. Sometimes the offer 50% discount on selected titles. I bought most of my UEs from B&N during their 50% discount - I think somewhere around USD24.99 each.

Hi all, this will be my first BF experience.

Will Amazon list all the titles under the BF deal or it will list the titles as it appear on the lightning deal. Just one more question, even if there is a title under the lighting deal but if you have to just purchase 1 BD - the shipment could be minimum USD8.99 - will that still worth it? How do the sifus buy during BF - 10 titles at one go? Please advise.

Guys, since we are into this Black Friday thingy, perhaps we can share the answer to this question

How much do you intend to spend or the maximum amount you will be spending just for this Black Friday event - just on BDs?

For me, subjected to titles, I will probably spend around RM2,000 including shipping.

Can't wait to spend on my very first BF!

Similar to US version except don't have digital copy and DVD.

By the way, if you plan to get Crazy, Stupid, Love, you can get US version since US got traditional chinese subtitle but never mentioned this information in cover.  I noted for this movie, a lot of other language subtitles didn't mentioned in cover but actually have in the subtutle selection.

Don't know what happened to this movie why information is inconsistant.

Thanks for the info.

Actually I buy HK version because I want to listen to the Cantonese voice for the animation (I can't read Chinese - thus, does not matter about the Chinese subtitle). Personally, I felt that I enjoy more on the Cantonese version and it is more funnier as well. But have to be selective because we need to understand who is the cantonese voice cast.

For Cars, the Cantonese voice comes from Jan Lam (famous Soft Hard singer). I remember for the animation UP, the voice is from the legendary Michael Hui.

Where did you buy Captain America from and how much?
*
I bought it through jsdvd.com - a Taiwan based online DVD portal. However, unlike Amazon, they will charged your credit card upon ordering. I placed my order in Sept and they already charged my credit card - but Captain America only released last week. But shipment is super fast, it took only 3 days to arrive.

Cannot recall how much - already more than one month - I think it is around TWD1000 - you can check from their website

Gorgeous look! Now I am tempting, before I was pre-ordered together with Super 8 at Amazon.fr but already cancel. France copy came with 3D edition but it was not important for me since I not fancy on 3D.

It is indeed Georgeous - you must get it and feel the power of Captain America!

Since my Thor is coming, not missing, I think I need to grab this baby as well. smile.gif

and How long it takes for shipping time?

I bought 4 discs and took the shipping with tracking ability. Received email that they have shipped on Thursday at 5.02 pm (17-11-11). Received this morning around 10.00 am. Tracking were given in great detail - including custom clearance. Shipping a bit expensive, around RM15 per disc (total around RM60 for shipping charges)

Downloading , you need patience. To buy Blu-ray you dont, plus you save up your precious time. Blu-ray disc offers better quality then the downloaded version. Those are ripped version unless you are downloading an BD *iso* files, still it makes loads of differences between both. Get your genuine Blu-ray now and start collecting your favorite movies and Support Ori !

To me, it is seriously about intellectual properties. You never knew it until it hurts you my friend. I used to only buy illegal version until my own design works was "stolen" by someone and being passed on to a cheaper supplier - twice! Thereafter, I only buy legal copy - since 8 years ago. So if I do not have enough money, I don't buy. I will only buy genuine copy.
