I'll be buying something from Amazon.co.uk and will be using their AmazonGlobal Priority which will take 2-4 business days for shipping to ship a collectors edition game. I wanna ask anyone who has tried this method of shipping.

1.) Does it really arrive 2-4 days after the order has been processed? Because the price difference from the standard shipping is almost 3,000 pesos but arrives in 8-12 business days.
2.) They will refund the Import Deposit cost when the customs fee costs less, right?
3.) What courier mostly ships the priority shipping option? UPS, FedEx, DHL?

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I want it to arrive as soon as the game comes out so I asked about their Priority shipping

Anybody who would like to share with my Existing Prime Account? I have another 8 months remaining. I can still share it with 4 "household members". If we divide by 5, for 8 months you can use my Prime for only $10.00.

You must have an Amazon account and an email connected to your Amazon account. You can give me the email add and your name, and birthday.

Hi all,

Does Amazon accepts Philippine Credit/Debit cards?

How do I create an account?

Do I need a US address?

I'm planning to use my-shopping box as the forwarder for the items that I will purchase.

Thanks.

energizer_jc · « **Reply #1398 on:** Apr 04, 2015 at 08:52 PM »

Yes it does. Just make sure its a Major Card. (Visa/Mastercard)

Creating an account is like creating a new email.

Yes you need a US address. (I used Johnny Air's US address)

Hope this helps.

No you don't necessarily need a US address as they can ship internationally (some items are for domestic shipping only) though I prefer to use Johnny Air for shipping my items to Manila instead.

Frankthetank · « **Reply #1400 on:** Apr 05, 2015 at 01:52 PM »

thanks energizer and conan..

so on the billing address, i guess i need to put my cc's billing address which Philippines..

then on the delivery address i'll have to put in the forwarders US address?

is this correct?

Nelson de Leon · « **Reply #1401 on:** Apr 05, 2015 at 01:56 PM »

You have at least 3-6 choices ata ng delivery address. You can also edit them as time goes by. Ang ginagamit kong billing address is yun kung saan ko ipapa-ship yun item.

This is what I do. It's worked everytime.

Frankthetank · « **Reply #1403 on:** Apr 07, 2015 at 09:48 AM »

Thank you all for your help.

Was able to successfully use my local cc at amazon.

For a trial order, I bought a roku stick.

Also signed up for a month trial of Prime.. but can't view the video on demand, I'm getting a message about my location.. though I'm using a dns service...

Netflix and Hulu works fine though.

may global shipping option amazon na pwede delivered straight to your house address. via USP ang gamit. ung custom fees estimate. Pag over estimate sila, refund sa iyo money. pag under naman, sila magsshoulder so wala ka talo

konti lang nga ung may amazon global shipping option. ingat lang kayo may difference and international shipping sa amazon global shipping kasi ung latter paid ang customs. yung una ikaw magbbayad so possible mastuck sa customs

pwede ninyo try galleon.ph kasi mirror lang products nila sa amazon. sa checkout nakabreakdown item price, international shipping and custom fees and local delivery. para wala ka na hassle. natry ko na rin ilang beses.

Had a bad experience with amazon lately but with a good outcome..

I ordered 6 blu-ray discs (new titles) and it was supposed to be delivered (One-day Delivery) to JAC NJ. But the courier was not able to deliver the package for 3 consecutive days, the reason being they tried to deliver at nighttime. So I emailed Amazon to inform the courier to deliver during office hours. Instead the courier returned the package to Amazon for non-delivery. What Amazon did was make a replacement order for me at no extra cost. I get the Blu-rays for free. I just have to pay JAC fee of around $6.00. The blu-rays cost $55.00. ;-)

Does Amazon Canada accepts Philippine issued CC?

I want to buy something for my inaanak na nasa canada, I will use their address for shipping.

I can buy it on amazon US, pero sayang kasi free shipping sa amazon canada.

edwn1220 · « **Reply #1409 on:** Nov 07, 2015 at 06:36 AM »

^ I had purchased from Amazon.ca in the past. Yes, it accepts locally-issued CC. I'm sure their customer service can help you if you have other questions (through e-mail or chat). Good luck!
