if the customs held that long, there can only be one reason: they have not finish watching your bds yet; especially the 3-in-1 combo one!  laugh.gif sorry, that didn't help.  tongue.gif

ok, there's nothing much you can do since you paid for a standard shipping; well... you pay peanuts you get monkeys!  tongue.gif  but then again, it's a good thing. since you chose the cheapest mode why bother going through the hassle calling here & there... and if customs held your parcels but failed to inform you, then it is not your problem, right?

ok... it is your problem because you already paid for it. so when the waiting period given by amazon dues, just inform them that you did not receive them still. they'll give you an option of refund or make a replacement order. so just request for a replacement order... that's it, irregardless whether it did arrive in m'sian shore or not. with priority aka courier you can't because they can track its whereabouts. for most times, they'll use expedited shipping without charging you extra fee this time. the only drawback is that you have to start playing the waiting game once again.  wink.gif

my best record so far for standard shipping was 6 days from amazon US, and that's not from a peak season/period. the worst was 2 months and 3 weeks!!!  blush.gif

I have been playing the waiting game with Amazon UK since December 2012 for a single BD via standard shipping. Even the replacement is late, just lodged a complaint for a 2nd replacement, imagine it's now February already.
As for the Amazon US BDs, i am really tempted to ask for a refund, but i got those BDs for cheaps, so feel 'loss' a bit if i let go. Yet the waiting... it's killing me. tongue.gif
I really do think that somewhere along the line of shipment, someone might have just conveniently kept the BD for themselves since there is no tracking.
The only positive i get from this experience is learning the ins and outs of international shipping from all sifus here.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing your experience. Your 2 months and 3 weeks wait is really "encouraging" smile.gif

For your info, both standard shipping from Amazon US either MSI or I-Parcel will be delivered by Pos Malaysia. If 1 or 2 title only, they will deliver to your delivery address but if it's bigger box, then they will leave you a note to pick up from post office.

I-Parcel used to be very slow in delivery previously but seems they've improved. My last purchases during BF was delivered using MSI which's extremely slow. Sometime exceed estimated delivery a week or two..

Come to think of it, we are still considered lucky that we are able to import supposedly banned movies right?

no point sending so many replacement orders if u r not receiving them. need to rectify "problems" with the local delivery / customs

i believe amazon can trace the package...clearly its shipped to Malaysia but failed to deliver to customer. (for "wateva" reasons)

These are the Amazon UK BDs i ordered in December 2012. Just got the pos laju slip yesterday, went to pos office to get the parcels. They were all ordered separately. One of the parcels' packaging was badly dented sad.gif but luckily the BD survived. U can see 2 Fast & Furious boxsets, one without the plastic seal, the other is the replacement copy. Guess someone conveniently opened it up, watched it, then resealed the package. In fact, all the packages has been opened by customs, and resealed with the cheapo translucent tape, in the name of "inspection". Luckily, the BDs plastic seal is still intact. The excuse for the delay is the long holidays during CNY. Lesson learned - not to ship during festive season, at least in Sibu, coz the locals here take their holidays way to seriously.

I have no idea. Amazon UK was eager to send me replacements, but Amazon US was quick to refund the money.

U are right. Customs didn't hold my packages for long, the release dates stamped were early. But i hate it that they actually opened up the packaging to see what is inside. What's the point? It's not like they are able to do anything even if its a porno disc.
The problem was with our local pos malaysia. Just couldn't count on them.

If it is porn disc, their will confiscate. But the problem is can their identify it? tongue.gif

Years ago, when I just start order from Amazon US, at one occation, I ordered 2 BDs.

One of the BD, the cover have very sexy girl but that disc actually is Yoga disc not a porn disc.

But another disc look like very normal cover but is actually banned in many countries include our country and can considered as porn disc if based on most people judgement.

Customs officers did inspect my parcel but their only concern and inspect that Yoga disc and I saw finger print in Yoga disc but never touch another real porn disc. At the end, their still release my parcel to me without confiscate any disc. whistling.gif

This is the disc that I mentioned with normal cover but actually can considered as porn disc by many people: tongue.gif

I have no experience importing porn but if they do confiscate those, then movies touching on religion are banned as well right? Anyways, i'd like to stress again that the customs has no business unsealing BDs just to see what is inside. An Xray easily shows the contents of the BD box and google will show if the title of the movie is "dirty" or not. Leaving fingerprints on your Yoga disc only indicate that they are tempted to or had watched the supposedly "dirty' movie smile.gif
