My bad..

Tryin to get :

AMZ.UK - Star Wars - The Complete Saga..
AMZ.COM - Gods & Generals ; Gettysburg

Also.. Heads up AMZ.CA has raised its shpng charge to SEA - it is now no longer competitive [was 4.99 - per order charge + 2.49 - per item charge]

D

I dont get it..

AMZ.CA raised their shipping charges from CAD2.49 to 9.99 per item and per order - 4.99 to 10.99[n tis is regular standard shipping . priority/expediated is even more exp..] - how is tis similar to AMZ.UK??

Editted to add :
I actually didnt realise [my last purchase was a coupla mths ago..] they raised their charges until I bought de Weeds complete collection BD n when I checked my order/account - got a shock when l found it so expensive - luckily de boxset was cheap or else l would have cancelled..


Bro,

SMS rcvd becos AMZ test your card - l sumtimes rcv sms too but for 0 amt.. n sometimes wif legit figure

I checked de US site n no ; AMZ.COM still retain their charges
AMZ.CA with de new chrgs hv priced themselves out of most ppls budget - just imagine if u buy a cheap sale ttl of 5/- n u hv to pay 5 + 11 + 10 = 26CAD - Bill Gates oso lari la..
On tat subject ; AMZ.UK is still de most competitive wif their chrgs ..

I m so glad I invested in a rgn free player..

Oh lordy,

Ca?? AMZ.CA? Hv u checked ur total value?? They hv raised their charges..

D

Haha,

I wonder if unlucky - time when cross de causeway or 2nd link kena tax??


D

Amz has access to your card particulars - they can add any charge they deem fit, later ..
At least tat is in theory la.. but normally they'll email u first if they wanna charge..

Actually, for tat .. its not a 'given' - sometimes AMZ.CA will use Royal Canadian Mail n .. god .. tat takes forever - like 7 weeks [actual time] ; 9 wks [their estimation] .. I know, I kena before.. but lately, all standard shpng pckgs use DHL..
In hindsight, maybe tats why they raised their shpng chargs - to reflect tat..


I tink abt d same - no better , no worse .. best is stil courier [ blast.. if not for de KDN cert issue.. ]


Bro,

U shld use different names , even wif same address or better still another address..

Haha,

U win some ; u lose some..

Its rgn free like wat is mentioned in blu-ray.com.. I have tat..
BTW AMZ's product description needs to be taken with a grain of salt - some bd ttls ; theyll lump wif SD DVD rvws..

D

Haha,

Totally agree wif u .. besides I have patience like a saint [ well.. almost ] mostly I ll buy n kinda forget abt it.. so even if takes some time, not much of an issue for me..
Just stating wat u can do, even thou' its kinda hassle - l mean u need to kacau ur friends and kin..

Haha,

Unfortunately, initial outlay for a rgn free player is not cheap - more than double for a run-of d-mill bdp is wat ard RM300 now..
I just got a pioneer bdp450 - cheapest well-rvwd player in de market .. of cos Oppo would be better but its so Xxxx

I am just stating facts .. they [AMZ] have our credit card particulars, so they can recharge it , if they want to..
I once received a reminder of supposedly Returned ttl - If I dont return it, l will be charged the cost .. they didnt do it in the end but still the thought of them being able to..

Haha,

It has never come to tat [for me anyway..].. all l am stating is tat they[amz] hv your card particulars n they can recharge watever payments they deem fit .. Of cos then its your prerogative to pursue the matter wif ur bank abt de 'unauthorised' payment [n in most instances you would win] but l tink if you were to do tat, then u'd better be prepared to be banned by AMZ's network.. Oso in AMZ's defence, they will notify u first before they do tat n usually a well worded email can work wonders..

I dont tink its becos of tat.. [ at least l dont believe so, others might differ.. ] I do believe tat at de moment, HD is still not mainstream - more considered a premium product - at least in de US ... so u pay more..
I keep track of both US n UK , AMZ site prices n for pre-order or brand new ttls, they are abt de same - its just tat UK has cheaper shipping n xchange rates tat we find its cheaper -
Only in old ttls [more than 6 mths old] does UK seem cheaper especially if its boxsets.. I remember not long aftr release of Matrix n Bourne trilogy sets tat I found out tat AMZ US ones are so exp compared to UK ones - of cos packaging n bonus features not withstanding..

D

Whew..

Poslaju means safe la - just wait - pos mal is slo but good..

Cool..

UK cheaper mah, rite?

D

My BF receipts :









Technically , some are not BF, cos I ordrd em earlier..

Nope,

Regular Standard Shipping - I dont believe in paying more..
Tis is some of de BF ttls, there are a few still to arrive - I guess its where they are shipping from.. plus some luck in not being 'held'..

D

Wow,

U do take their Estimated Delivery dates to task.. huh
I dont bother abt tis - only if its like really, really late.. n to me tats like 2x de duration of their Delivery dates..

I wouldn't bother.. I believe its being held up at kastam n not post mal..
AFAIK, Pos Mal won't hold a pckg unless they have tried to deliver n couldn't

D

Tis came :



D

Haha,

I ll remember tat de nxt time l complain abt someting bigger..


D

Haha

So much for d indestructible DHL..
Lucky AMZ CS is so gud..

Basically,

Just like tat.. no pt to argue wif them.. I have only one instance in me having a rather bad experience wif a CS staff abt price difference and in the end , l still had to pay for de higher price cos he/she wouldnt budge after 4 emails..
Abt late arrivals - I tink l hv only one instance where de pckg literally went missing [ statistically , l tink less than .01% of all my online purchases - Courier Pckgs not withstanding..] most of the time , itll eventually crop up [sumtimes 3 mths ltr..]

D

Sum arrivals yesterday ;



D

I tink..

I hv to agree wif u abt de Indian CS - althou' sumtimes l cant tell if they are Indian or not .. l mean sum indians do use Christian names..
How do u tell ? By the time they reply?? Wat time is Indian n wat times are US??

D

Nuthin like BF..
