Have you tried getting it sent here? They send over DVDs easily enough, I don't think I have ever ordered a CD from Amazon US before. Although Amazon Japan sends over CDs with no issues, so you should be able to get it.Quote:

That is weird, having some new items exportable but not others... but at least we get access to some items, to offset the items we have to end up paying more for.

During transit the books were just sliding around loose inside the big box, causing two to be folded open, and one to be having the spine push a hole through the cover of another.
Best to stick with the UK book depository with books, and leave the toys for Amazon. (unless there is no choice... in which case, order the books separately, and they may get packed more securely)
Though they (Amazon) would be pretty good at replacing or giving credit due to damage aren't they?Quote:

I've had the experience of multiple books swimming around in one box from Amazon and been unimpressed.
But I've never been unhappy with a BookDepository purchase. I've bought a lot from them, 95 books so far at a quick count. Everything always comes in it's own envelope. Usually a solid brown envelope. There's been the occasional slight crease or so to a corner but nothing so bad I've felt the need to return to sender. I'm paying 25% off minimum of RRP and getting free postage, I'm not going to be too upset if something isn't in absolute mint condition. If anything there's more damage done at the Post Office bending some of the smaller books to fit in the PO Box and the seller can't be blamed for that.
Maybe they've (Book Depository) changed their packaging lately due to multiple complaints because they didn't use solid brown envelopes when I ordered from them :confused: My last purchase from them was about a year ago.
