Hi, I am newbie here. I am in Australia and I want to buy a lens from Yamiya.com.my and send it to my friend who are now in Malaysia for holiday. He will come back to Australia next month. I would like to ask your experiences dealt with this online shop. Any experiences good or bad would be appreciated :-)

Thanks
Arief

Dear Arief,

Why not ask your friend purchase directly from local malaysia shop instead. It might be cheaper that way and can reduce shiping cost as well.

Thanks C.P.U for your reply. I will pay it by credit card from here (Australia) since my friend does not have enough money to buy that lens. I think it will be free for shipping cost within Malaysia.

cheers,

I bought some stuff with them before. Quick postage but lousy customer service. It was as if I owe them some money. Terrible experience. I will never buy from them anymore.

However, they are reliable.

Thanks jdreamer,

Does Yamiya have a good reputation as a brick and mortar shop in Malaysia? Me and my Malaysian friend have no experience with them. I am still waiting for more comments before making the purchase since it is a bit expensive lens ( around AU$ 2,000).

i think if you purchase above rm100, its free of postage.. i bought once before from them, delivery is fast.. and item is good as describe... actually before purchasing, i did email them to ask abt payment using credit card..cos it stated that "2.Purchase limit to RM1000 only (not including shipping cost)." but no reply from them at all..so not sure wat is that clause mean actually.. maybe u need to check first before you place the order. from this, i think they customer service a bit poor.
