in case,if anyone wants to try www.books.com.tw
this is how they charge :
http://www.books.com.tw/exep/qa/item..._id=0000000129
博客來寄送至海外地區運費之計算方式:【(基本費 + 商品定價8%~100%)*(1+ (兵險費率%+燃油費率%)

in short, the amount you need to pay is
[service charge(A)+ITEM PRICE BEFORE DISCOUNT(B)*ITEM charges 8~100%(C)]=(D)
[1+(insurance 2%(E)+ fuel surcharge 15%(F))]=(G)
(D)*(G)= (H)
(H)+(I)=(J)

note : (I) is the discounted price(if not discount,use back the normal price)
(H) is your postage fee


so lets say you wanna buy ayu's s/s single from there,http://www.books.com.tw/exep/cdfile.php?item=0020134375
you need to pay
[(150+269)*8%=33.52
[1+(2%+15%)=1.17
33.52*1.17=39.2184
39.2184+269=NT308.22

so,the price for s/s single is
9.38065 USD

(THIS IS THE PRICE FOR SHIPPING TO ASIA...different countries,different charges)

hmm,its hard to understand this calculation....hope you guys can understand it :p

in case no one can understand what i'm talking about,this is the page translated by google translate
