Hi all,

anyone know what is the cheapeast shipping option when shipping from USA to Malaysia.

My cousin sending something. weight approx 10 pound @ 5 kg..

appreciate your input...

courier would be more expensive than normal mail.
but definitely faster.

5kg i scared kena tax. haha what issit you shipping might i ask?

lots of jeans..

u ask him list the courier service with price then ask him to compare them..huhu

wah alot of jeans ah? i think sure kena wan wor.

new or used? clothes tax is 30%.

If it is a used item you wont get taxed... but I dont think you are shipping used items...

Like nimrod say cloths are taxed 30% so your actual values (Shipping cost +insurances) multiply by 1.43

thanks all..

i just stick with fedex...slightly exp but have very good experience with them..

dont use ups bro. if kena tax they will pay for you and charge service charge for you. then you have to pay them cash before they give you the item. if taknak kena tax just mark the item as gift and put a low value on the item. sure tak kena tax.

Have you considered using USPS Postal Service's International flat rate box? You can send things which can be at any weight as long as it fits in the box for about $40 or $50 dollars (don't quite remember, but it's around there) and it's insured automatically for $100 - you can add the value of insurance by paying a little bit more.

UPS/FEDEX/DHL when come to tax, they will pay first, then claim it back to you..

not sure about the service charge, but fedex never charge anything from me beside the custom tax..for textile item the tax rate is 30% and Duty is 10%...till now i still confuse what the diff between tax and duty...

so total is 40%!!...

so..declare as a gift with lower value..but take a risk if anything happen to the shipment,
