I thought so. It will turn up more expensive since the other one is still for dispatch. Better contact JAC. I think they will bill you separately for this, similar to this one:
 
I shared the sentiments of the last poster (kenobi). I got my packages yesterday and was informed that about a week has passed since they started implementing 2lbs minimum package charge even if you are a pdvd member. They should have announced it months before so we can be prepared. Or, they could have emailed their regular customers that beginning such date JAC will be charging 2lbs minimum. It's bad enough that amazon.com split my packages into two, now I paid almost double for each!

But if money is not a problem, you want your items to get here faster and you feel more secured in using a courier service, then it's okay.  ;)

pwede bang hindi na lang tanggapin para bumalik sa amazon uk for refund?
hindi ko nga din sure kung pwede eh...

pwede mo hindi tanggapin.  what i do is tell them to return back to sender.  i then email amazon that due to the exorbitant fee DHL is charging I have to refuse the delivery of the item.

Don't sweat it, seriously. :) I've done well over a hundred transactions with Amazon, Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany and Amazon Canada. Number of transactions that never arrived: ZERO. Even when my shipment was delivered to the Cubao P.O., and the post office burned down before I could pick it up, the item was replaced and I received it.

Just be careful about asking for replacements for orders that seem very delayed, since like I said, you'll end up with duplicates. There's a limit to how often they'll indulge you. One PinoyDVD member learned the hard way that they were actually keeping track of the number of times he requested replacement orders for delayed packages that eventually arrived. Amazon cancelled his account, telling him he was poor risk for their company. No appeals were entertained; even when he got his sister to order for him with a new account, they noticed the address and refused to accept the order.

Mr. hankey, follow up question lang po...you had transactions from Amazon Germany, were your packages sent thru DHL? Kasi I just made my purchase from them according to the email they sent "track DHL package"... Mamaya they would charge me an overpricing tax... :o

I have ordered thru Amazon Germany and they send the packages thru Royal Airmail.  The packages are then delivered by our local PO to your address or you may pick it up from the PO.

Mine was sent through "Deutsche Post DHL" (I just checked just for you), but I picked it up at the post-office.

Good luck!

Hi guys,

I just ordered the Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy and Alien Anthology. Wanted to keep the cost below $50 with shipping included. Total damage is £28.19 or around P2,200.

Now what I'm concerned is QCPO. From experience, they always check the items when I get it from Window 39 but never got any tax kasi low value small items from Ebay yung napapadala ko before. Baka madali lang ng customs if they see its bluray, boxsets and dalawa pa. Any thoughts on this? :X

I pick up my Amazon-purchased Blu-rays/DVDs at QCPO, and have only had to pay customs duties less than 5% of the time. It's down to luck.

One tip that usually works is to arrive when they open in the morning. The customs guy usually isn't there yet. Hehe...
