Thanks Jun for the heads up! ;) I thought Spiderman Trilogy will be my first BD. Now it seems I'm getting other BD first. Good offer, never refuse!  ;D

Amazon do ship in the Philippines, but recently increased its shipping rates, from $2.49 per title to $3.99 per title. Thats aside from the $4.99 per shipment fee.   We are just exploring JAC for now, as it is generally faster but not necessarily cheaper....but one thing for sure, you are safe from customs charges.  :)

group buy, ang matitipid mo lang is the per shipment fee, which is the $4.99 fee, which will be thinned out among participants.  Pero kung JAC option, just make sure all titles must come from one of amazon's shipment centers, para di ma split yung mga orders, or else it would come more expensive than amazon's direct shipment.  Gotta act fast coz malapit na matapos itong promo na ito... ;)

Title: Re: Blu-ray Sale: Buy One, Get One Free Until Oct 20 @ Amazon
Post by: pchin on Oct 17, 2007 at 05:01 PM
depending what dvd (boxset, 2-disc, etc), HD DVD is much lighter.

For me, uaually I ordered 2 HD DVD, still under 1 lbs :)

Same rate pa ba ang JAC, Paul? Still $5.50/lb + $5.00 handling fee?
Title: Re: Blu-ray Sale: Buy One, Get One Free Until Oct 20 @ Amazon
Post by: pchin on Oct 17, 2007 at 06:55 PM
If you order up to 3 HD DVDs you're still safe within the 1 lb zone.

Yes, the $5.50/lb + $5.00 handling fee is applicable.

For Amazon, payment tru credit card is very safe. I've been using Amazon for more than 10 years w/out a single incident.  ;)

Other than credit card, you can also pay by check or money order. And lastly there's also the gift certificates. You may email Amazon for further info.
