hmm ok clear this up..
shipment = cost per item + cost per shipment
so where does this vpost/forwarding stand??
cuz my trick = cost per item + 1 shipment cost (regardless of number of shipment)
and since those 2 cost are the only one that gets reflected in my cc bill. where is this vpost/forwarding cost?
Ok, this is the flow for using VPost. We use VPost to avoind the RM500 limitation and taxes.
Scenario 1.
1. Order 20 BD from Amazon using free shipping and Ship to Vpost USA.
2. Amazon ship all in 1 package to VPost USA (Amazon shipping cost = 0)
3. Vpost received and charge me the shipping cost to Malaysia (Let say RM 180, so each BD is Rm9)
Scenario 2.
1. Order 20 BD from Amazon using free shipping and Ship to Vpost USA.
2. Amazon split shipment in 2 packages to VPost USA. 17 and 3 BDs in each package respectively (Amazon shipping cost = 0)
3. Vpost received and charge me the shipping cost to Malaysia (Let say RM 180 for the 17 BDs since the box will be the same with the 20BDs in scenario 1, so each BD is Rm10.60 & For the second box that contains 3 BDs the shipping is lower which is RM80, so each BD is 26.70)
Scenario 1 - Total Cost is 180
Scenario 2 - Total Cost is 270
No way to avoid separate shipment, the best that I can hope for is Amazon split the shipment almost equal 11 BDs and 9BDs so that the bos will be smaller than 20 BDs and reducing the total cost.
However I assume that if we order same title multiple unit it will be shipped together. Can anyone confirm they have experience order multiple copies of same title and it is shipped separately?
