I am all for free wordwide trade (note to the MAFIAA: I give a damn about your region code). And personally I appreciate Amazon's service. But why do these countries depend on a monopolist like Amazon.com? Can't they create their own services? Come on folks, get your el culo up and start a good business!

BTW it seems Amazon.com bought Abebooks.com. Sigh.
Hi,

Amazon.co.jp does it for every countries. Only International Express Shipping is available. They use FedEx, which, at least in France, ask a debt collection company, to recover VAT, a month after having received the package, with an additional 17.55$, for "fees".

On an 40$ manga order (9 volumes), from Japan, to France, I ended up paying 80$ for shipping.

Through a small online shop, I pay 25$ for shipping 9 manga volumes, by registered economy airmail (meaning tracking for the postal service and sender -no risk of false claim by the receiver-, and some limited insurance, in case of loss). I receive my package after about three weeks.

Bye.
I ordered some books before, through regular shipping, and though it took more than a month, they got near my house. I say "near" because I had to go to a Correo Argentino branch office to get it (10 blocks from my place).

God, how I hate this country. Is it ever gonna become a test site for A-bombs?

Don't use Amazon. There are other booksellers.

Don't give Amazon your custom.
Who cares?
Talking about late deliveries... I had some dvds ordered on the 08 of July, still no sign of them.
