Ordering from Amazon.com in China


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just wondering if anyone's done this? Do you get charged duty etc? And more importantly, do the books actually arrive?

Only ordered stuff a couple of times, but it's got here with no problem. If you get standard parcels ok, an Amazon package should be fine.

I think the issue about duty is an important one. If you're dealing with books you're very likely OK, but if you're talking electronics or other types of items that are more closely scrutinized then I've heard stories of people having to turn away deliveries (i.e. laptop computers that were fedex'd to China) because of duties being added on when the items crossed over the border.

I've heard that Amazon will only ship books, movies, and music to China anyway. I'm not sure if that's true, though. I haven't tried ordering anything yet.
