QUOTE(aiman04 @ Sep 15 2008, 07:23 AM) Mrning guys, Arj, don't order from Tower.com, unless you have friends in US to take advantage of their SHOP N' SAVE shipping service. Their so-called "Priority Shipping" is only using USPS, which will take at least 2 weeks. Really not worth it for US$9.99 per title. Imagine if you order 10 titles. And it takes a few days for them to ship.  But if we use standard shipping it's still ok right? $4.99 and it should arrive after about 2 weeks  |

QUOTE(megatron007 @ Sep 15 2008, 07:26 AM) towers already shipping titles much much earlier nowadays  Yeah, heard about that. They're not afraid of the movie studios ah? Breaking street dates and getting away with it. Tower Records is a big company. If small sites/companies doing this sort of stuff then I understand because they can sorok2 a bit  |

How much is the total value of the package? If over RM500 then you need to pay tax. If below, it needs to go through the censorship board and you'll get it after 2-3 days, no tax. |

I downloaded the HD version of Speed Racer, awersome PQ. Watched a bit only and will continue on BD when I receive it which I expect to be even more awesome!  |

QUOTE(aiman04 @ Sep 17 2008, 08:20 AM) That will always be the risk to do bulk. If kena then at that time can ask from all. And it's not for sure will kena. Like you said, if unlucky.  But anyone really want to pay RM165 for bulk, while you can get it locally for around same price? hehe... I'm not trying to justify the price at all. Just one of my morning spams |

No point paying so much if it takes that long to arrive... Want one ah? Let wait for it to arrive first. God know how long it will take |

QUOTE(myqd @ Sep 23 2008, 12:18 PM) newbie Q,i never tried "buy 3 for 2" BDs from Amazon UK b4 so may i know how should we choose the 3 titles and which titles is for FREE since there're all different price? Apart from that offer,any other promotion on BDs,or maybe amazon US? The cheapest one among the three will be the free title. Shipping you still need to pay for three items. |
