Yup, wait for the letter

2 options :

-appoint pos msia to be agent to help u retrieve the package (pay agent fee+wateva tax/fees that Kastam charges)

-take letter, go to klia pos and retrieve the package yourself. pretty easy and straight forward. there, u will open the package up and let them inspect the item. If no problem, they shld let u leave happily.

Since u r far from klia, then option 1 lo, no choice. Prepare to pay wateva they charges u.

I didnt receive any sms. On the dhl statement it shows rm24.90 is customs duties and rm20 is handling fee.

After ding dong with DHL and Amazon, DHL said the item falls under dutiable item, TC code 8523495000. Google the code, seems it's referring to Discs For Laser Reading Systems.

Now Amazon offers for refund on that amount.

Packing, pricing, content, etc can difference. Imported some times is cheaper than purchase locally.

Depend which country you buy the Blu-ray and also depend on the studio to decide which subtitle should include in movie. So, it is case by case basis. blush.gif

For some movie, censorship did happened. So countries version maybe have censorship while other countries don't have depend on their country laws and regulations. Thus this again is case by case basis.

Unfortunately, their won't mentioned this in sticker behind or in any cover. You have to find information from internet. blush.gif

I see you guys get a lot from amazon. How cheap is the shipping cost? If add in the shipping cost, would the disc price same as local selling?

Now I only order overseas since almost always cheaper than buy locally.

There are several ways of shipping that you can choose. From fastest (most expensive) to slowest (cheapest). This depend on which online stores and country you buy those blu-ray from. It very from store to store. Even same online store can charge differently depend on which country you order from. Example are Amazon.

Usually, after include shipping charges, I still find it is cheaper than buy locally. tongue.gif

Read page 1 of this thread which have quite a lot of information for beginner.

Just now I try to check with the amazon US. Take example of 1 title.

Avatar 3D combo pack:

Local selling is RM119. I check at Speedy.

Amazon US : 29.96 + 8.98 = $38.94. (include shipping cost). That is $38.94 x 3.15 = RM122.60.

My finding is that, it is not cheaper than local. Or I looking at the wrong site?

Beware of the calculation of shipping charges. Amazon US calculate shipping charges according to 2 components. One is per shipment (which is charge only once per order, US$4.99) + per item (which is charge per item in an order, US$3.99 per item). So, it mean, the more your items you order in one order, the cheaper the shipping charge.

Beside, you should look for cheaper BD not Avatar 3D. Or you can wait until it price reduce or wait until sales season.

Too bad, for Amazon US, the biggest sales season is Black Friday Sales which just ended weeks ago.

Price for BD in Amazon US is not fixed. It will change depend on Amazon. Use track function to check the price movement or monitor the price.

Example, http://www.blu-ray.com/deals/?sortby=price&category=bluray

Why, I keep thinking Titanic 3D when you mentioned is Avatar 3D? rclxub.gif

Last night just finished the movie, love it but part 2 is better.

Tha aspect ratio really changed more often, not used to it.

This set is however really a collectors.item, even more classy than batpot version .
