Any items less than RM500 (plus shipping) won't be bothered by custom so no worries. I bought imported music CDs from local shop. I wanted to support them so they can bring in better titles in the future. I buy movie DVDs from Amazon (soon BDs ) only because I want R1 DVDs and here the price is too expensive plus too little selection. The only thing I hate about Amazon is the normal shipping takes about 1 month.

I always buy RC stuff from a shop in Wahington DC and always got them a week later so I don't know why the heck Amazon takes too long to ship IMHO Amazon fastest shipping method is just too much and just doesn't justify the price of items you bought especially if you buy more than 3 items.

I just bought 2 DVDs from Tower (never purchase from them before...this is 1st time trial) but I have to use Google checkout since Tower checkout does not has Malaysia listed as one of the countries.

The DVD price and shipping a bit cheaper than Amazon (even with Amazon so call offer price) but the mother of all question here is will the standard shipping much quicker than Amazon. If it is then it will be only Tower from now on. Hopefully it will be here in 2 weeks time. Amazon most of the time will take 1 month or more with standard shipping.

I want R1 DVD dude. I believed you'll get R2 DVD only from Amazon UK. Am I right?

That's correct. The shipping for 2 DVDs are USD9.98. Really 3 weeks is still acceptable. The fastest I got from Amazon so far is 24 days

This is where Amazon really shine. Their customer service is 2nd to none. If you made a complaint you didn't receive your purchase after 5 weeks, they will send again without any question asked. Never happen to me but a few of my friends received the original package after they received replacement package from Amazon So they end up with 2 DVDs of same title

Please take this as information only and don't "abuse" the info
We don't want Amazon to barred Malaysians later

Dude...I've been looking everywhere locally for Katie Melua Call of The Search but nowhere to be found. Looks like I will order from Amazon UK also since the shipment is roughly 1 week only. Thanks for the highlight

U mean Amazon UK right? Faster than Tower...

I order 2 DVD from Tower on 11/8. One shipped on 13/8 n the other on 14/8. Until today nothing yet...pucik. See tomoro or Saturday how. My 1st time also. All this while always order from Amazon. Average 1 month for cheapest shipping rate
