hello

im a frequent buyer of online stuff .. seldom have problems .. in fact as of date .. never ..

once i made a complaint to amazon(.co.uk) coz of lost item and they refunded me.. a week later the thing came in lol

ebay hmmm ebay easy.. once dealt with ebay seller not even using paypal.. just pm him say cant pay by paypal.. usually could work something out.. done that a couple of times.. (credit card limit burst )

3 day delivery for hobby search 1999.co.jp .. bought tamiya stuff ..
when buy in bulk things get cheaper.. plus got point system can get discount for next buy!

last word, if in doubt, buy from established online companies..

cheers

that mean kena la since my item would be around RM430 plus shipping cost around RM200..

kastam officer will contact me or i need to call they?

Location? KL?... If KL you'll have to go to KLIA to clear/pay tax... or "lantik" Poslaju to clear it for you (with service charge). Other places (in cities/capitals) are more flexible. KL residents (I'm not) maybe better to inform you.

my location at kedah..

Just a guess... you'll have to claim/pay tax at the custom department in Butterworth's post office... or pay RM49.50 to Pos Malaysia as an agent + tax. If you go yourself you may get a little reduced or not pay tax at all, if you have evidence/solid argument/fact to back claim.

To this (below) post office.... if I'm not wrong...

Some kastam department may ask u to open box, or make another declaration if the declaration made by the sender not quite clear. They will normally charge you 15% or 15.5% after adding shipment charges then add another documentation charge not more than RM 50. If its a sexy stuff you need to be more careful because they may rampas it. But for most of the imported toys will see the status " detained by custom", this mean u need to settle the taxes stuff and declaration part.

These are my experiences and hope its help!!! Goodluck!!!

oic..maybe i will use pos malaysia as an agent lol since im not quite familiar with that place..


lol,i order some figure and electronic hand held..hope kastam not detained la

If mixed lagi teruk on the declaration part, caused electronic products and toys were in different category and rate.

If you really fear going there, i think you need to find an agent to help you do K1 declaration.

For me i prefer buying figure at our local shops, some people wanna save that few RMs but end up paying this and that, also risk your items and waste time if you have faced such problems.

i will use an agent service to help me la if like that..will update later since my parcel still in inspection..maybe 2 or 3 days later will know the status of my item..hope no be detained la..

anyone here ever bought any gundam decals from http://samueldecal.com/ before?
