Packages to NY will be charged with Sales Tax since June 1, 2008.  Use JAC NJ address para walang tax..

Has anyone shopped from Amazon Canada? It's my first time, so I'm curious.

Relative to Amazon-US, how long do their shipments take? I used Standard Shipping, and am shipping to a Philippine address.

Anyone tried the new more expensive Expedited shipping ng Amazon?  So they are now trackable?

I've tried this a long long time ago, hinde rin eh, ang difference nito sa Priority is once it gets to us (Philippines), local post office na ang bahala mag deliver etc...

Nope, I still had to pick up my "Expedited" shipment at the post office last week, it was not under Royale Logistics so I had to pay PHP 35, and it took longer to arrive than the last order I was able to place under Standard Shipping. :(

Geez!  So the extra you paid for doesn't really "EXPEDITE" your shipment.  I guess you can just really chalk it up to a PRICE INCREASE!

I've been wanting to order online from amazon.com a long time ago but never know how. Thank God i found this thread! I've read here that one had to have the order sent to JAC NJ to avoid tax but one had to register to JAC 1st. My questions are: 1.How do I register with JAC? 2. Ano address po ilalagay ko sa amazon for delivery of my orders? JAC or my address? 3.Can I put provinvial address for delivery of my order coz provincial address ang nakalagay sa credit card ko?
Pacencya sa po sa gnorant questions ko. TIA for the replies

1. you have to go to there office either in makati or ortigas (megamall) you only register once, and you have to tell them that you are pdvd member para you get the special rate of 6$/pound + 5$ per shipment rule. as a rule of thumb, 3-4 dvds is approx 1 pound so you pay 11$ for that. pag lampas ng konti 17$ kaagad.
2. you will put jac's nj address in amazon. we usually use amazon's free delivery in continental u.s.a., kaya you dont have cost there anymore.
3. i think with amazon, you can use a local (philippine) credit card. unlike itunes, the billing address and the of the credit card should be the same as registered users u.s. address.

Thanks for the reply but ff-up questions lang po:
1. If I put JAC's NJ address in amazon, then how will the package be delivered to me?
2. Is it ok to put JAC NJ address even though the address of my credit card is here in the Philippines?
  Hindi po kaya magkaroon ng discrepancy?

1. There is a whole thread here about JAC, which gives detailed instructions on what to do. You need to address it to: Johnny Air Cargo-NJ c/o Jet Creus/[your name] (pinoydvd). May account ka naman sa JAC so they will contact you when the package arrives.

2. No problem ito with Amazon.

I just realized that ordering BDs and shipping thru JAC-NJ will be cheaper than using the expedited shipping direct to the Philippines from Amazon.  3 BDs weigh less than 1 lb, so shipping fee will be free from Amazon to JAC-NJ using free saver, then $11.00 from NJ to Philippines..

my post sa JAC thread

Quote from: ME
Nataga ako sa customs sa makati nag exact $100 kasi value ng items pag $100 daw may tax na aside dun sa P35 na payment kahit proclaimed as gift(MGS4 LE + 4dvds+1cd).so I have to pay them P1600+ before i was able to claim my package

The P35 is just for locker fees ata,yung space na ginamit nila to store your package.Priority mail din pagsend sa akin ng friend ko nung package which is more expensive na and dapat 3-5 days delivery...pero 4th time ko na naexperience sa post/customs ng makati na almost 1 month bago dumating orders ko.mga 3 weeks bago dumating sa kanila then magsesend sila ng notification sa bahay nyo then pick up na sa post office nila :(

I wanna order the LE Ironman BD sa amazon so might as use JAC

Guys, tanong ko lang, ganto ba ung process from Amazon to JAC to Buyer:

1. Order on Amazon via credit-card. Tinatanggap ba ung local CC ng PH ?. and Is it try that you can't use a PayPal account to pay the item?

2. Ship it on a JAC Address

3. JAC will ship the package to me.

4. Pick-up on a JAC Branch.

This is correct.  Make sure you have it shipped to JAC - New Jersey para walang Tax added sa Amazon.  Local CCs are accepted by Amazon.

Tawagin mo na lang ang JAC. I don't think anyone here can answer your question.

Billing address should be in your brother's name... shipping address will be yours...

Would like to ask something about Amazon... pwede din ba bumili from users of Amazon and does the same policy apply like yun warranty tsaka kung sabay sila nashiship kasabay ng nabili ko sa Amazon? Kasi usually sa Amazon mga bago nabebenta nila... eh paano na kung gusto ko ng 2nd hand? I was able to find some like on this link for example...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000FQ2D5E/sr=8-10/qid=1221013978/ref=olp_tab_used?ie=UTF8&coliid=&me=&qid=1221013978&sr=8-10&seller=&colid=&condition=used

Please enlighten me on this issue... thanks!

Oh! and one more thing... kunwari na yun seller only enlightens U.S. buyers... pwede din ba tayo bumili kung sakali Johnny Air Cargo gagamit natin since U.S. address and ginagamit ng JAC? Are we considered U.S. buyers if using JAC?
