    Quick check, it looks like standard shipping is $5 US per package + $3 US per DVD

  • applebyte on 26/11/2009 - 23:38

    yeah… shipping is ouch

    Shipping isn't great but the prices are!

    Does anyone know much about the customs fees and taxes that might apply to these. I don't really buy international much, but my understanding is if it costs less than $1000 now there is no cumtoms tax. Not sure if this is right.

    If no such fees apply it is a good deal.

    • Noslee on 27/11/2009 - 00:20

      if the rule hasn't changed then yes 1000 is the duty free limit.

      I've been buying a lot from US lately with such good AUD rates and have never been charged customs tax. Mind you my purchases are usually less than $100 - things like books from UK depository bookstore or cosmetics from Strawberrynet.

  • Drakes_Misfortune on 27/11/2009 - 01:15

    How do they figure out how much something is worth i.e. if the shipment is less than $1000 or not?

  • apna235 on 27/11/2009 - 02:01

    The sender has to declare a value($) when shipping the item internationally and its usually written on the package also.

    I've bought many DVDs, BluRay, books from Amazon. Never had a problem with customs.

    Also Amazon customer service is first rate. If a package doesn't arrive they replace it, if something is damaged they replace it before asking you to return (at their expense) the damaged one.

    so… we can't read "A" code here can we?

    most of the Blu-rays on this site are listed as "region free" meaning they will play in any australian bluray player fine.

    some are showing as Region A (locked) meaning they will only work in USA.
    some are showing as Region A (region B & C untested) … so they may work, but no guarantees.

    although the postage options could be a little cheaper.
    i had the credit card out about to buy them, when i realised that including postage, its not really worth the wait when i can just go buy these movies on special at JBHIFI and Kmart etc for a couple of bucks extra and not have to wait.

    not a bad deal in theory though…

    too bad JBhifi's dealio has this sorta licked.
