as far as i know, yep. they arent charging by weight of the items. you only pay the pre-calculated import duties etc

but delivery takes a lot longer. though i not sure how fast it goes if you're on prime.

[DMan7]

Also another good thing about doing free international shipping thru Amazon via DHL is that even when Amazon splits up your package you still only paid 1 price from the cost of the order + the import duties. When Amazon splits up the shipments and sends it one by one to your skybox you have to pay more as each shipment will have a seperate cost to pay when it reaches here.

i wonder if OPT is included in their estimations, cause i assume they would have to pay that tax ent?

[DMan7]

I think amazon have a list of importable items per country and the various costs provided to them by DHL which they use in their estimation. I've tested this out with multiple items before without buying them just to see the difference in import duties for each type of item.

yeah... from what i was checking, the largest screen available for shipping is about 32 inch lolol

Yea even if you meet the $49 per order for amazon to pay DHL free shipping for you its based on the weight of the item whether you actually get that free shipping or not. Also I see import duties doesn't always apply to every item categorized as computer equipment as some computer type devices still carry a heavy import duty such as a full desktop, monitor or desktop case.

from the reddit thread i posted some time back, i saw that amazon tends to refund you if duties is lower than estimated

[DMan7]

I wonder if anyone ever got a refund though.

how it looking for xmas?
not hearing much complaint bout delays

Despite everything going on at the port all my xmas stuff was timely delivered through websource. Ironically the one delay I had was on the USPS side where they misplaced a package and the seller sent a new one

[pugboy]

yeah and the skybox companies haven’t really put out notices of delays
seems they got their operations running good or ppl ordering less

^ About 1 week. For the first time I bought from amazon using free international shipping I also ordered and use web source as the address to at the same time. Both packages were delivered to me on the same day, DHL after lunch and Web Source around 5 PM in the evening. Was quite funny.

If someone has to ship a set of wheels to the US, how do they go about doing that?

[MaxPower]

If someone has to ship a set of wheels to the US, how do they go about doing that?

Wheels usually can ship basically anywhere in the US. Residential address, skybox, even Hotels that accept large packages at a fee about $20-$50 per box.

A set would come in 4 separate boxes with their individual tracking numbers.

I ordered from Amazon UK, a phone. Said it'll take a week, got it in 5 days time to my doorstep. That was late November, pretty impressive
