Bought the Tsai Chin in Concert Hong Kong 2007 based on several recommendations here. Not familiar with her music prior to this. Now regretting ... not my cup of tea at all. Listened to 10 mins, random tracks, cannot tahan .... then switched off.  Nonetheless, the AQ is truly excellent.

Thanks. your order & shipping may already reached taxable amount i think. it's only a deposit and they'll refund if you're not charged with tax... but i'm only guessing coz i never use courier. maybe the other sifoos here can provide better info...

This one really depends on your luck. Your order already above RM500, if kena spotted by Customs sure get taxed. Wish u good luck!

I have shipped 1.5k worth of BD before, kettam never even open it and check. I also have 2 pieces of BD worth around RM220 held at kettam. Sometimes it depends on luck. My friend ship it to his office - Institute Jantung Malaysia, never kena kettam before! RM2k worth of BD all lepas!

Lately the customs are a little bit lenient. Late last year it was tax galore, almost everyone reports their package being asked for tax or held by FINAS/Censorship Board. But earlier that same year my package was around RM2k value (almost 30 BD) but there was no tax. But $245 is quite high, it could really catch attention. Just be prepared to receive a call from DHL, they will pay the taxes and deduct from your import fee deposit. If there's still balance you'll get refund from Amazon, if exceeds you have to pay to DHL when they deliver. But don't worry much, possibility is still there that you wouldn't be taxed.

But since you know de logics behind de 500 limit might as well follow la.. Criteria for buyin bds : 1. Story - wat I like, not necesarry great rvws.. 2. Cost - I buy a lot of used ttls - makes de budget go further.. 3. PQ 4. AQ Cheers Dirtrun
