Received this mail from blu-ray.com. Some deals are fantastic. I just ordered 17 movies (need to order over $125 to get free shipping). But you will have to hurry:

It works like this:
(a) Base Cost (cost of movies)
(b) Shipping cost (3.99 per title + 4.99 for the full package)
-------
(c) Total before tax = (a)+(b)
(d) Import Duty Deposit = (c) x 31%
(e) If (a) >= $125, then free global shipping = (b) x -1, else 0
--------
Total = (c)+(d)+(e) ---- note that (e) is negative
Import duty is 31% but in all instances, I have got some refund. Usually the final import duty works more or less like 15-17%.

My experience has been maximum of 8 days after dispatch. Mind that dispatch does not happen immediately after order placement. Sometimes the dispatch occurs 3-4 days later. But credit card is charged at the time of dispatch only.
Yes. Full tracking is available from the time parcel leaves the warehouse till it reaches you. The courier is usually Aramex.

is the free super saver shipping (above $125) working now? I tried with an order of around $150 and I was only shown two shipping option "expedited" and "priority" and at the end no waiver in shipping. what am I missing?

"Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"
my total is $140 still no waiver, why? question is you bought the same category items but when I am trying no such option as free super saver shipping is coming

The Bond-50, a 23 movies collection on blu-ray is at the fantastic price of $99.99. This works at just $4.35 per movie. Add a few more titles (3 or 4), make the total over $125 and you get free shipping.
Amazon.com: Bond 50: The Complete 23 Film Collection with Skyfall [Blu-ray]: Sean Connery, Daniel Craig: Movies & TV
Thanks Just4kix,
I have just placed the order for Bond 50 along with other movies and the shipping is free, The only problem is with the import fees which is around $50.
What information\receipt we need to get from Aramex to get a refund for this one? Last time when I placed the order they did not provide any receipt and Amazon people were kind enough to refund the amount after some followup.

Amazon automatically refunds excess duty fees collected after 60 days. So far, i have always managed to get 30% to 100% refund. So I don't worry about the duty too much.

I have also just now bought Bond 50 collection and few other blu rays,and earlier in the day I have ordered 4TB,Western a Digital ext HD,in both the cases the shipping is free.the HD has been despatched thru Aramex
Most of my orders are from Amazon UK and so far have placed only 1 order with Amazon US and have to do couple of followup's for getting the refund. Let me see how this goes and now they have already shipped these items :clapping: very Prompt and fast.

Ordered Clint-35 movies in 35 years DVD boxset from AMZ-UK for 28GBP from Black Friday deals. Added with Steven Seagal 7 movies BD set. All together 42GBP. So 42 Movies for INR 4400 (including shipping). Expecting another phatka of 1500-1600 or so as duties. So essentially Approx INR 6K for 42 movies including 7 BD movies.
