    Hi,

    I can't see the AmazonGlobal standard shipping option come up only priority and expedited when I go to checkout.

    • CletusDB on 21/11/2014 - 15:04

      I had that too, seem to be because what I had in the cart was too big in total. Removed a bulky item and standard shipping came up

    Is this deal available if the total purchase amount is greater than $100, but the amount paid on Amex is less (e.g. a total purchase of $101 with Amazon credit used for $10 and the balance of $91 paid by Amex)?

  • bloomer on 21/11/2014 - 21:40

    Okay, I'm curious about this scenario:

    • Add $100 of goods to cart,
    • use Amazon giftcard (which I have) to pay most of the cost, let's say $99,

    • pay the remaining $1 with AMEX.

    • still get the shipping free??

    • youknow on 21/11/2014 - 23:11
      +2

      only 1 way to find out!

    • marquise on 24/11/2014 - 12:32

      It's valid scenario as I've found once you add gift card balance, Amazon automatically deducts from that. I used to be able to manually deduct from credit card, but for a while now can't seem to find that option anymore.

    • knackers on 24/11/2014 - 16:14

      did you try it?

      • bloomer on 01/12/2014 - 00:16

        I just did it - paid $130 in giftcards and the remaining $0.98 on my Amex. Shipping rebated completely :))

        • knackers on 01/12/2014 - 00:22

    • ely on 25/11/2014 - 18:21
      +1

      I didn't place an order, but on the last step I can see that the gift card has been deducted and the shipping is still being listed as free… so it looks like the gift card approach works well. Avoid those nasty Amex fees by buying gift cards with your Citibank Plus and applying them to your purchase.

    I am thinking of buying SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB (MZ-7TE250BW) - $119.99
    I dont see much of saving. Is anybody else buying SSD? Will this have international warranty?

    • Merlict on 21/11/2014 - 22:36

      Eh.. if that's the price in US, really not worth it when it's cheaper for local stock.

    Spoke to Amazon via live chat, and asked why there was no free shipping on the item. After checking the item size and seller, was advised to place the order and they would waive the shipping :)

      Sometimes they don't ship via standard shipping for unknown reasons.
      Someone above has stated they got the other shipping option waived when they chafed to an amazon rep.

      You realise you might need a step down converter for this item. (240v to 110v).
      I didnt check if the item was dual voltage though so you might be ok

      • T-man on 22/11/2014 - 15:45

        i've never had problem with ON Gold Standard. Aussie resellers will slap a label on it to appease Aus food and drug regulatory bodies. It's a labeling issue and not a prohibited substances issue. Customs will allow small quantities through for personal use. Just keep your order to 10 pounds or under.

    WTF Amazon is trying to tell me that a 8 x 8 x 12 inch item does not meet the criteria "Offer doesn't apply to items larger than 16” x 14” x 10” because the last number is too big.

    And now they are telling me that something 'Sold and shipped by Amazon' isn't eligible as it isn't being sold by Amazon (checkout shows Amazon Export Sales, Inc., this is madness)

    edit: I think the CSR is as confused about this as I am

    Amazon can be a funny bunch. I ordered a tarp (and some other things) with shipping dimensions 12 x 16 x 0.1 inches. They told me it was free because it was bigger than 16" x 14" x 10". I suggested they rotate it 90 degrees before shipping. They waived the shipping fee.

    What about conversion fees from Amex, should I pay in Au or US?
    This would likely negate the relatively cheap shipping Amazon has unless it was a large order.

    • SimbaGirl on 27/11/2014 - 00:05
      +1

      You may not have the choice on Amazon to pay in AUD anyway with Amex. At the moment, I have 3 cards linked to Amazon - Visa, MasterCard and Amex. Visa and MasterCard automatically default to AUD but I have the option to change to USD. If I select the Amex card, the amount is shown in USD and there's no option to change the currency I will be charged in - that's fine, as you're often better off paying in USD anyway. If you do opt to pay in AUD, then instead of your credit card/bank doing the currency conversion, Amazon will do it themselves (known as dynamic currency conversion) and often retailers will give you a less favourable conversion rate as they then make more money off the transaction. Most banks/credit card providers will usually then charge their own currency conversion fee on top of that, regardless of which currency you opt for. I'm not sure what Amazon's exchange rates are usually like, as I always pay in USD, so it may be worthwhile having a look on their website to see if they give actual exchange rate information and you could do the calculations to see whether it's worthwhile.
