Amazon.com is currently able to ship books, CDs, DVDs, VHS
videos, music cassettes, and vinyl records to Asia & Pacific
Islands addresses. Your packages may be subject to the
customs fees and import duties of the country to which you
have your order shipped. The total
shipping charge will be displayed on the last page of the
order form, before you submit your order.
Per-Shipment
Cost remains the same whether you order one, five, ten, or
twenty items. This means the more you order the more
you can save per-Shipment Cost.
Because Per-Shipment Cost remains the same regardless how
many items you order, Priority International Courier might
be the best way you can save time and money in case you
order lots of items. Here is the
equation
Amazon.com uses to calculate the total shipping cost:
(Highest Applicable Per-Shipment Cost) + (Number of Items
x Per-Item Cost) = Total Shipping Fee

Per-Item Cost is the same in this option although
Per-Shipment Cost is sixteen dollars higher from that of
Expedited International Shipping option. Since this is
the fastest shipment option and Per-Shipment Cost will
remain the same regardless how many items you order, this
option is recommendable when you want your orders be
delivered within two days or when you order many items.
Now the choice is yours depending on your needs. If
you order less than three items and you can wait for 11
days, Standard International Shipping is the option you can
save most. But if you order more than five items and
you need them urgently, you will want to consider faster
delivery options such as Expedited International Shipping
and Priority International Courier.
