When one day Amazon banned Malaysia for buying movies, all of your will have to go to Spxxdy to get your blu-ray! So for those doing the refund scam, stop doing it!

We don't have any proof that anybody is doing that. So please stop saying that. I believe in everyone here. icon_rolleyes.gif

Why would anyone suspect that anyway? Did anyone received email from Amazon that we're close to being banned?

Just received two BDs from Amazon Uk.

First time order from them, didn't expect so fast delivery. Shipped on Friday, received today.

Yup, never fails to deliver within one week. Amazon UK standard delivery is the best. thumbup.gif

Aiyo, start from zero ar? Your budget? Better go to the Audiophiles section and read.

For a start:

Budget setup:

Go with this new Sony home theater set. It's not HTiB because it's not a DVD player:

http://www.sony.com.my/product/ht-sf2300

RM1999 + PS3 (can't be used with bitstream BD player)

Entry level separate component:

AV receiver:

Yamaha 663 (~RM1.9k)
Onkyo 606 (~RM2.5k? not sure)

Speakers:

There are many options. Go to HT/Hi-Fi shop and audition yourself. The one that suits your budget, and sounds good to your ears. Different people will have different taste in sound.

This setup can be used with PS3 or any BD player with HBR audio bitstreaming capability.

If your screen size is big and/or your viewing distance is near, then a full HD panel can be considered. If not, no need. biggrin.gif

Anyone wants to see the chart again? brows.gif

Whoa, just read all the post about this. Really shocking. I hope this got settled soon Mega.

But I still don't understand how the scam works, I mean how he gets the money using someone else account?

Or is it a sabotage? To destroy your reputation somehow? You know when a buyer transfer money to your account, you'll be held responsible if you don't have the xbox?

Maybe can do bulk my way. I always buy extras to cover DHL cost , so that my cost per title is minimum. Then I will sell them at only around RM80. I lost few bucks, but it's better than paying extra RM50 for shipping.

UPS just called me. My package is now in plane from DE to KL, and they already asking me to pay RM392 for tax and fees. This is before the package arrived KL! doh.gif

I just told her to return it.

Will order again and write an email to to Amazon to specifically use DHL.

BTW, Beetlejuice is already in my cart.

First tell UPS to return it, then you must write to Amazon at their help page, login first so you can select your order.

QUOTE(corez @ Sep 4 2008, 01:09 PM)
Woh, from the amount taxed, I figure your package is around 1k.  hmm.gif

More or less. biggrin.gif

This is the first time ever my package is being asked for tax/fees. I've ordered may times with values from RM1-2.5k since 2002, all safely arrived, all DHL.

Another tip, never trust Amazon for region codes. Always use bluray.liesinc.net as your guide.

Most of the times my order always exceed RM1k (sometimes more than RM2k), only sometimes I order 2-3 older titles with standard shipping. biggrin.gif

This is the first time Amazon use UPS for me, and this is the first time ever I'm asked to pay taxes. I guess my 6 years luck has run out. tongue.gif

What makes me really angry is that the UPS girl called me asking for the tax even when my package is still in Europe. Like there will be no negotiations whatsoever with the customs when it arrive. The girl said I have to pay to the delivery guy when they deliver, just wanted me to prepare the money, no negotiations. doh.gif

I straight away told her to return it. There was silent for 10 seconds before she finally said OK.

Amazon already emailed me, they will refund everything within 2-3 days. I'm now "tawar hati" to order from Amazon anymore though. Looks like Tower.com will be my new favorite shop. wink.gif

You want to pay RM392 for me?

In my email to Amazon, the issue is UPS, not our customs. Hopefully they will re-consider using UPS, that's all. If not, there are many other options now.
