        I believe bym means that despite potentially worse international transaction and foreign currency fees on the AMEX card compared to 28 degrees, the free shipping more than makes up for it.

          not true

    Limited time offer… here's hoping it will still be around for Black Friday next week. Now to figure out what's worth buying, something under 9Kg that shipping would normally kill

  • wisc on 20/11/2014 - 20:56

    "larger than 16” x 14” x 10” or over 20 lbs."

      Why? Plenty of stuff smaller than that.

      • wisc on 21/11/2014 - 10:11

        your right that was a bit of an exaggeration, however, I've found that amazon has had pretty good delivery prices for smaller items to Australia… 6 dollar shipping for PC cards etc…however when you get into the bigger items it jumps exponentially.
        shame I don't have an amex though :(

        "instead of negging the comment, maybe tell me whats wrong with it."

        I'm not trying to be rude/patronising t25, but surely you understood the 'thinly veiled meaning' behind jjcf's comment?!?

        • t25 on 22/11/2014 - 10:06

          no idea what jjcf is trying to say. even after you brought it up, im still trying to get the "meaning" of it.

          some things ive found on amazon to be pricier than local, others are cheaper, some even have pricing errors. i just thought maybe we could share some good bargains.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2014 - 10:25
          +2

          @t25: I think he's implying that it's almost impossible for you not to find anything. Amazon has everything, if you can't find it there you're not trying hard enough! Price wise I would disagree with you. Especially with free shipping. Personally I find it to be one of the cheaper options if not the cheapest.

          Edit. Might be harder now with falling dollar but it's still pretty competitive I find. Especially with clothes/shoes.

  • leonheart1 on 20/11/2014 - 20:59

    Shipping cost was never that significant on Amazon unless you were only buying a few cheap things. The problem is more that the majority of the items don't ship here.

  • Elijha on 20/11/2014 - 21:00

    Board games are usually heaps cheaper on Amazon then local but the shipping kills it.

    • mskeggs on 20/11/2014 - 22:25
      +1

      My first thought too.

    • Thaal Sinestro on 21/11/2014 - 01:08

      At $4 per pound, games can be expensive. With a 20 pound limit for this offer, one could purchase at least 3 heavy Ameritrash games… I lack an American Express card to take advantage of this offer though, and I have enough anyway to keep me busy.

      • themeadowlands87 on 21/11/2014 - 01:27

        I was thinking along the same lines, except moreso with heavy Eurogames instead of Ameritrash, but was concerned about the "Offer does not apply to items larger than 16” x 14” x 10”. Wouldn't that pretty much mean you could only fit 1-2 reasonable-but-not-insane sized boxes in package before it starts to come close to hitting the limit?

      • themeadowlands87 on 21/11/2014 - 01:29

        wait, just realised - does the size limit apply per item, to to the combined pile of items? Could i order 10 items, as long as each one is no larger than those limits? Or would the items combined all have to stack into a pile smaller than the limits listed..

      yeah Amazon are awesome. I once put in a wrong address on an order (had been using a random US Address for Appstore purchases/downloads) .. didn't notice till 2 weeks later and the item hadn't arrived .. told Amazon Support in chat what I had done and asked if I could do a 'returns' box to that address - maybe they will return the items? The Amazon rep just gave me a full refund (it was $300 worth of stuff) and I reordered again.

      • yaziyo on 21/11/2014 - 15:28

        Can second that. When I was in America I sent someone a gift to their house. It missed them and they left the country permanently the next day. It was my fault and had nothing to do with Amazon. Full refund of item plus shipping.

      Amazon customer service has been amazing whenever I have had an issue…refunding items, shipping, even whole order on one occasion.

    • odysseus on 01/12/2014 - 00:20

      Wish I could say the same.

      Had a dodgy seller who cancelled the item I'd bought after I bought it saying not available, then listed it again. Complained to Amazon and all they could say was that's the seller's choice, as long as I got a refund. So much for seller integrity and standing behind what they sell.

  • MrBillions on 20/11/2014 - 21:32

    i select amazon global but also do not see free shipping, does anyone see the free shipping option?

    If i add something small i get these options

    AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping (averages 9-12 days)
    AmazonGlobal Expedited Shipping (averages 7-11 business days)
    AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping (averages 2-5 days)

    This is the one referenced in the deal: AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping (averages 9-12 days)
    but it keep adding shipping fees? confusing!

    • ynot1985 on 20/11/2014 - 21:44

        • ynot1985 on 20/11/2014 - 21:55

          I tried a few sample checkouts.. you still click the Global standard shipping.. they still charge you on the last checkout page but directly under that line they minus that amount

        • MrBillions on 20/11/2014 - 21:59

          @ynot1985: Ok, got it. it's key to ensure to pickup items from amazon global only which is somewhat difficult to see. thank you.
