A replacement copy for my December 2012 order. Arrived exactly 2weeks after dispatched. I love Royal Mail too smile.gif
Lesson learned - don't use standard shipping during Malaysian holidays.

Anyway, anyone tried importing Region B BD players before? Any problems with Customs? I'd love to get one coz BD shipping is fast and cheap from Amazon UK.

I really wonder where the BDs were during these past months. Probably they recirculate parcels that were undelivered after a certain volume threshold is reached. I'm silently hoping that I'll get my "missing" BDs too though Amazon US has refunded me the full amount smile.gif

Where do you guys usually purchase your BD if locally? Prefer to buy from Amazon UK because it is cheaper,  mostly not all. Local sellers like Rock Corner is quite pricey :/

I like to buy from Amazon UK because the BDs and postage fees are cheaper, there are many region free BDs and they arrive faster than those from US. I think it is because most are single BDs, not much of extras which is fine by me because I never watch the extras anyway. I got myself a region B bluray player recently while travelling, so, can start ordering region B-locked BDs from Amazon UK smile.gif
