U mean If DHL , they will never check the item ?

They will check, DHL or Fedex

But remember to declare a lower value. There's a special button at the shipping page (Viadress).
The EDIT button. Can be used to rename the stuff and re-declare the value. But at your own risk..

they still inspect the goods but not sure whether in front of DHL staff

so at least no valuable item goes missing

Thanks for the link. I sent my query this afternoon and Custom responded swiftly within the same afternoon.

Right? I was surprised knowing that they do reply asap
So, you are going to buy handbags yeah? Share with us here..

Hi dear,

how was all your order with this 2 forwarders company

satisfied with them ?

I'm not sure whether it is still worth it to buy the designer handbag in London judging from the high logistic cost and taxes.
By the way, 20% import duty + 10% sales tax = 32% total ?
10% sales tax is calculated on the total sum after 20% import duty or before import duty ?

for your information above, i guess is after 20% import duty.

so far, i didn't tried purchase bag at UK website before so i do not know how there gonna charge the taxes

for US, last time before i start my spree, i forget to declare my item in to lower then RM 500 So i kena tax by custom for my 2 coach bag and a victoria secret bag which is cost me RM 260+

Which forwarders your are using in UK ?

Satisfied with CGW, though they are not very responsive to emails, but I know my items are secured. Viaddress updates a lot, when the merchant ships out, parcels arrived at US suite and shipped to Msia. =) But a bit pricier..
Both CGW and Viadress are honest and trustworthy. No missing stuff like VSHub (should be called B***S***Hub) Stealing!

I don't know too.. I haven't found a place to buy cheaper bags, takut fake lagi.. Hehe..

Is it worth buying bags from US? How many percent cheaper than in Msia?

glad u are satisfield with this 2 forwarders which is recommend by me
hehe...

i think if for branded bag such as Coach is cheaper then u purchase in outlet malaysia honestly.. example like the tote bag costing RM 1.5k + at here but in US there are only RM 800+ u can get it already.

But if u want to purchase LV, GUCCI , BURBERRY OR LONGCHAMP, I suggest you purchase it in UK website or Maybe u can tried Europe too..There are More cheapest then in Malaysia. But make sure u also have to calculate the international shipping price la don't just calculate exchange rate. Because we used forwarder help us to shipped to our country malaysia. Like example UK, Mostly the shipping fees will be a little expensive but it is secure too if u used dhl or fedex. I didn't tried Royal mail before because if i used it to shipped to malaysia i have to open an account with them which is i am not located in UK. that's why i don't used royal mail. But from my experience i found out many of the merchant i purchase, there mostly used royal mail to shipped to my UK address

Branded bag of coz will kena tax by custom in malaysia because those bag are not tax free. But if u only purchase 1 or 2 and combine with others of your purchase, 95% u would not been charge by custom tax. Unless, u did not declare your invoice probably with the forwarders.

say if the seller sent fake handbags but when reach custom, they imposed the tax..how arr?
bang ball la like this

wahh.. if gucci, LV and etc purchase on their own register website and there send fake bag !!!! this is a big news already lolzz

It's 20% + 10%. Not sure the 10% sales tax is base on after duty price or before duty price though.

My family member is buying directly from the boutique in London and courier it over to Malaysia.

For Gucci or LV, my sis told me Paris is cheapest.

I might be buying a handbag online.. Simpan duit dulu =)
Paris eh? As for online, any particular website selling cheaper ones?

currently i am aming for LV MM tote but still can't really able to afford it hehe..

LV MM? I want a Coach or Burberry Black Label Have you tried VPost Strawberrygirl?

not yet dear..
as there only accept SG using their concierge service
