Parcel with items worth of RM500 and above will be taxed. =(
Maybe you can ask your family in London to declare it as gift, never try it though.

Thanks !

Any recommended courier firm and how they charge to courier fee ?

DHL is the affordable one.

Fedex, TNT also okay.

How much 1kg for DHL from USA or UK to Malaysia ?? FedEx more expensive than DHL ?

DHL They are cheap.

Hm, the shipping rate charged by service forwarder or by the company (i.e. DHL and Fedex) itself?
1kg using DHL, quoted by ComGateWay is RM100+ (regular shipping) and RM120+ (express shipping).

I think it should be cheaper through DHL alone because last time, I bought jeans from Evisu International, they charged GBP18.00 for a single shipment to Malaysia (they sent using DHL). And GBP18.00 here is the express shipping, do your math la.

Oh, and GBP18.00 is not for only a pair of jeans. Up to 10 pieces. A pair of Evisu is weighing at 1.4-1.8kg.

OMG, my package has arrived at US CGW's suite. 4 pieces of clothings, but the rate is cheaper.
Chargeable weight 1kg (actual 0.52kg), RM78+ (regular), RM93+ (express). Woohoo!!

What is the custom duty for designer lady's hand bags like LV, Gucci exceeding the value of RM500 ?

Sorry I have no idea, never bought one online before =) But you can email Kastam Malaysia.
They do answer your queries.

How do u declared ur item from USA ??

i think 15% for clothing. not sure for bags

I just bought one pair at a time. The item worth RM500+, but I ask them to declare it slightly lower.
As long as, it is lower than RM500.
No tax at all. I did it three times

For clothing it's 20% + 10% if I was not mistaken.

I already ask the CGW but they say cannot declare the value lower because they follow send by seller .

CGW can't declare lower invoice for you.. But Viadress is able to do so.
Evisu too =)

But Viadress only offer FedEx service to here , but they din have DHL .

Yes, you are right.. That's the only downfall for CGW, they don't declare lower value..

Which service is more better ?

I've already trusted and confident with CGW.. The shipping rate is cheaper =)
Viadress is great too. But not as cheap as CGW..

But they charge 10% of the merchant purchase fee for a item , compared with viaddress with free service .

Er? It's not free for your info.. They still charge 4.9% for Concierge Service..
I also thought it was free, since the main page advertised it that way. But it is not.

is viaddress reliable?
