I am an Amazon Prime member, but shipping from the US site is not free with Prime. Are we talking about buying from the US site or from the AU site?
It should be free shipping for international orders over $49 if you order through the AU site.Quote:

Yeah the AU site of imported stock. I didn't see which amazon topic we were in.Quote:

This topic could probably be closed down while amazon US is blocking us from buying their stock through their site.
What do you mean? I haven't had any issues buying from Amazon's US site.Quote:

That's exactly what I did, still hasn't arrived. I guess Adelaide is Jeff Bezos's favourite city in Australia.:pQuote:

Before the virus hit, I had access to most of the toys that was sold by Amazon America (sometimes the newly listed items weren't available at first), but I just had to pay postage to Australia.... which I would compare to the "free shipping" cost on Amazon Australia if they had an import listing on there of the same item.
Now I can't do that anymore, and can only buy items that they list on Amazon Australia as import stock... which is very limited.
That appears to be the case, because I saw Inferno and a couple of others could be ordered and I didnt spend any time once I saw that for whatever reason they weren't an option I didn't come to the correct conclusion, but I noticed a couple days ago as well

Splendid! :)
Does anyone here have Amazon US items shipped to a Parcel Locker?
I've been able to have them delivered with no problem thanks to DHL but recently whenever I try, it just says "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item." even if it's in stock. But if I change to my home address, it gives me a proper delivery date and everything.
Any idea what's going on?
I got charged by Amazon US for at least two Earthrise Deluxes. Probably Airwave and an Alicon.
What's Mighty Ape like when compared?Quote:

Here's hoping it isn't a glitch and they cancel anything that gets ordered... especially the pre-order items. :(
They stopped us from ordering direct from the US amazon site when the pandemic was shutting down things over there (in April) and they had announced limiting their services to more priority items... and I figured that shipping toys to other countries was not a priority. Maybe their workloads or work environment has allowed for direct sales again.
Would like the seekers pack to turn up!
I have the Paradron Medics and Autobot Alliance packs on pre-order, having them sent to a Shipito address in America. I am scared to cancel them and reorder them with my Australian address in case they do get cancelledd.
:(
Just change your shipping address. Amazon allows that.Quote:

Earthrise Prowl/Ironhide - US$40 - November ****
Galactic Odyssey Paradron pack (Ratchet/Lifeline) - US$40 - December
(hopefully they get more stock in of the conehead 2-pack)
**** NOTE - if you order either of the Earthrise 2-packs, change the packaging option at checkout to "ship in Amazon packaging", as they will just send the actual toy box with an address label stuck to it.
I assumed the packaging meant those brown mailer boxes which have the product name on them, like my Seacons came in - not the naked box? (Although I've seen some people overseas have had that happen to them)Quote:

But yes... seeing photos on TFW of the Coneheads arriving at people's houses with just a shipping label on the box, reminded me of the Platinum Edition Reissue Predaking from several years ago having the same issue.
But I have read people on here saying their orders from Amazon US have been cancelled with no reason given. That is what I am worried about.Quote:

So if it dose get fullfilled do they charge the australian price quoted or dose it change due to currency rates?
Depends on what you selected at checkout. In many instances the let you choose between AUD or USD. Though that feature was broken earlier in the year. grmublegrumblegrumbleQuote:

Yep, same with mine.

I was looking at those listings last night, and if I’m not mistaken (as I’ve ever only bought a couple of things off Amazon Us), they’d charge shipping separately regardless if the pre-orders become available at the same time?Quote:

Items appear to be shipping separately right now, yeah. I was totally expecting one shipment to gradually break apart based on warehouses' stock.
Is it possible that they don't have the data for which warehouses stock will arrive at...?
Sinnertwin is pretty much correct (except the "goodwill" bit, at least to their employees :p ). Items are shipped as soon as they are in-stock, unless they have a specific embargo date (which is why a lot of pre-orders ship out a few days before their listed date).
Since they only charge money when items are in-stock, and have already quoted a "total" shipping amount, you shouldn't pay anything more than what is quoted at time of the pre-order... which can work in your favour if items have the same release date listed but are released separately - you shouldn't get charged anything extra with shipping... just like when you purchase several items that are in-stock, and they get sent separately (if at different warehouses).
It can also work against you, but not often (and their shipping isn't too bad so the loss wouldn't be too much) - if items are supposed to have separate release dates, and they end up being released at the same time, then they probably just make a little extra on the shipping.
Check your emails too folks, just got a heads up for Amazon Prime days 13th & 14th October.
Thanks guys. But here’s the thing though, when I went into ordering, and I only specifically chose the ones that had the same release date ( you’ll notice a couple that are listed as release on 1/3/2022 As opposed to 1/2), and I still got hit with separate lots of shipping charges. That’s why I didn’t pull the trigger last night. Not sure if that’s something that’s changed for any pre-orders in general, or just these items.
That's the thing I was referring to, that items expected on the same day are being charged for separate shipping.
Usually, I would expect one shipment for preorders until being notified of a split shipment. But that leans into what Griffin is saying that when you are charged for fewer shipments it's clearly a benefit.
Which is why I'm suggesting perhaps the logistics aren't quite ironed out.
