Yes, I like to hit the aggregator sites as well, Google Shopping, NextTag, Newegg, etc. - the question would then be finding it here.

Thanks to the other posters above for the advice.

I'd say that would be difficult, as they are probably from the Marketplace, which is not available for sale in Taiwan -meaning we cannot buy anything from the Marketplace from here, be it a cat toy or a TV set.

If any new arrival needs assistance in Taipei, I can provide it in exchange for Star Trek or Supernatural (the TV series) stuff or other sci-fi materials. Let me know what help you need by PM, along with what you have to offer in return. And yes, I am serious.

Does Amazon handle the customs, import tax, etc.?


No Amazon doesnt handle your import taxes you need to do that by yourself. Normally they ship with Fedex or UPS and those companies will contact you when your shipment arrives to get a copy of you passport and ARC. They tell you how much to you need to pay in taxes and you normally pay that on delivery.
