wolverine-x Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Hi. For those that had their items stucked at the custom, are those movies or music? I have been ordering vinyls from Amazon US and UK recently, so far still ok (Touch wood!). I am thinking of ordering some DVDs but have to think twice now as I see many of you guys had their items held by custom...

wolverine-x Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Did you choose free shipping ? If not you should be fine. For my US order, it is always free shipping as I tried to consolidate my stuff to at least US$125, shipping is either by UPS or i-Parcel. Till date there is no issue for me. For UK order, I always pay for the shipping fee as there is no free shipping from Amazon UK. There is no tracking system from UK order but it always arrive 1 week earlier from the estimated date.
outerheaven Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 This "custom" problem only surface since end of Mar and Apr shipments. Mine under amazon free shipping have been very smooth and prompt until WMG starts opening up all our parcels beginning of April!!

Mine under amazon free shipping have been very smooth and prompt until WMG starts opening up all our parcels beginning of April!! My most recent purchase from Amazon US and UK were in early April, I received all of them last week and this week. All my items are LPs. There are actually 3 LPs that were on hold at custom for 8 days till I called UPS yesterday morning and asked them why were they on hold for so long, the guy told me that they will deliver it by this Saturday. Surprisingly, the courier service delivered them at around 8.15pm last night. I have another 2 items that I ordered from Amazon UK last week, both of these still in delivery.
Guest jonlee Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Still can order from amazon, as long as u dont select free shipping, even when the items qualify for free shipping.
etnt Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Not free shipping also can kenna iparcel. I checked with CSO before, at least until expedited, iparcel is still an option. Only not so for priority.

Since I have never had trouble with Amazon's free shipping, I checked my account and the last order I placed was on 14 March, received it the usual two weeks or so later without any MDA detour. Lucky that I haven't ordered anything since...

Only not so for priority. i can attest to that, I have used paid shipping and still i-parcel. Been wanting to make another shipment but might wait till things die down a little. My last order was on Mar19 but order was shipped out late in early Apr but UPS and i-parcel both were ok though. HWZ got a long thread on i-parcel woes. http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/eat-drink-man-woman-16/amazon-shipping-via-iparcel-didnt-arrive-delayed-4498088-142.html
Chowbotak Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Just ordered something from amazon after some time. I dun know wat to say if they detain it cos its Mighty Morphin Power Rangers complete series ;D
wolverine-x Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I had another shipment from Amazon UK which was dispatched on 18th April, and I received it today. This is the fastest that I ever receive from Amazon UK, normally it takes at least 2 weeks.

aegis0129 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 bro...got people lego set also kenna sent to MDA ... *hiak hiak* that's ridiculous!
etnt Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 bro...got people lego set also kenna sent to MDA ... *hiak hiak* Maybe they worried that it's lego sex toy?
outerheaven Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I'm pretty sure its by Royal Mail of UK and not some notorious iparcel/WMG combo that we are dealing with now... Royal Mail is always very efficient and fast in their deliveries. I had another shipment from Amazon UK which was dispatched on 18th April, and I received it today. This is the fastest that I ever receive from Amazon UK, normally it takes at least 2 weeks.
Chowbotak Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Goodness gracious. Are we going back to the dark ages when even songs like With a little help from my friends was banned from airplay? ???
etnt Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 only if kenna iparcel/wmg lor. Right now it's like playing Amazon shipping lottery. order and see which shipper u get.
HardGainer Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Called MDA and they said that all imported films have to go through viewing and checking. This rule has been tightened. Leadtime is 50 working days. Wonder if they need part-time film reviewers there.... They might have a superb HT system.
DizzyD1624705734 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Ask them which season of Breaking Bad are they at and also have they watched GoT too...what a bunch of clowns >:(I would charged them for watching my movies!
Gaolow Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 wan lan..my titels still not yet return to me...fuk up leh..
tiktokape Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Came today after MIA since 15 Apr, by iparcel. [emoji23] delivered by Singpost. So it must be confusing whether it did went to MDA or not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Gaolow Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 everyone should email amazon and pressure them on iparcel and follow by pressure iparcel to remove wMG from their delivery service.. really knn
DizzyD1624705734 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Titkotape If your BD went to MDA for review, it will have a limited edition stamp on the cover. I dont see yours have it. Did WMG sAid your BDs were in MDA?
