Log on to your amazonJP account to check out how it was shipped. Amazon upgraded at least the Y900-shipping charges to Europe to DHL free of extra charge.
If so there will also be a DHL tracking number there.

Talk about luck, I went home to pick up my lunch, and there's my package, getting a tan at the front door. Upon first look, it was packed fairly tight, and I couldn't notice any cracks, etc., but I'll dig deeper later tonight.

Yes! I did too - in pretty much the same amount. 5 dollar processing fee??! Screw them - I'm not going to pay it unless someone gives me a compelling reason why I should.

heh... well I just mean - unless they have a way to screw with my credit or something else, then I'm just gonna ignore it like I did the UPS bill. Kinda sucks that they deliver the package and then decide to charge you days later after you've opened it so you can't refuse the package if you want. What can they do?

I did, but the latest profiler update was two weeks ago, so it'll probably show up after the next update.

Just tried adding it again to DVDProfiler and still not there. I am using the UPC on the outside of the Alien Head Box as that is what I want to add which encompasses the boxset as well and not just the boxset which is available on its own.
This is the UPC I am using 988142187123

If you do so, I suggest you look at my online collection first to see if there's information you've added to your local that the online should have, before deleting.

FYI - Just received my two Alien Quads from HMV Japan. They sent it overnight express, it left Japan yesterday and arrived here in Boston, at my doorstep at 9:17am via FedEx. I'm guessing that's why it cost so much for my shipping charge from HMV.
