I noticed there are quite a number of Malaysians who are interested in the Amazon Kindle but could not get one because they are living outside of the US or countries where Amazon ships Kindles to.

I understand how frustrated it is when you know something good is out there but could not buy it just because the system does not allow you to. I got through so much hassle getting a Kindle in Japan when it was first launched in the US. Thank god the Kindle now ships to Japan. :-)

I figure I can put myself to use by exploiting my staying in Japan and having registered with Amazon US & Japan.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my service to all of you who wants to get yourselves a Kindle.
Details of my service is as below.

1) Nature of transaction : Private Imports & Exports of Amazon Kindle 2 - the international wireless version to Malaysia
2) Type of transaction : Non-stock Delivery ( meaning I will send you the Kindle2 from Japan pending the arrival from Amazon US)
3) Coverage of transaction :
3.1) Order to Amazon US, receving the Kindle in Japan, register the Kindle for you, send it to Malaysia.
3.2) Purchase the Amazon Giftcard which you can use to buy books on your behalf.
3.3) Purchase of other Amazon accessories and send it to you.
3.4) Continuing support of buying additional Giftcards and accessories even after Kindle delivery.
4) Cost of transaction : Buyers bear the following costs
4.1) Cost of the Kindle2
4.2) Postage from US to Japan and then to Malaysia
4.3) Import duty when bringing the Kindle2 into Japan.
4.4) A 20% of the total cost mentioned above (4.1 + 4.2 + 4.3) as handling fees
4.5) Import duty when bringing the Kindle2 into Malaysia(if applicable)
5) Currency of transation : USD or JPY
6) Info for your reference:
6.1) Kindle 2 now ships for USD259
6.2) Postage from US to Japan is USD 21
6.3) Import duty incurred in Japan is USD15
TOTAL cost of bringing Kindle2 into Japan is about USD295.

I want to make the transaction as transparent as possible. I dont want to give you a blackbox price and take a margin from it.
I want the people who wants a Kindle to get their Kindle. The 20% handling fees is what I ask for in exchange of my time of doing the work.

If you need more details or want to discuss further please feel free to contact.

Thank you.
