Dear all,

For those who had tried HSG, Borderlinx, and CGW really appreciate if you can share your experience in the Tax department.

Were tax charges imposed when it reaches our shore? and are the stuffs delivered by them insured? Am really concern of tax charges. tehee. well who doesn't?

Thanks!!

handbag expecially branded handbag ,there is 10% tax charges applied even the value is not much.
unless for small bag like wallet which will not be charges..us parcel are more easily get alert by custom compare to uk parcel..

hi guys, I am currently having problem with HSG/CGW... they refused to ship a few of the items in the package that have arrived in their warehouse and offered to either redirect those items to another US address or discard those items.

so right now searching for an alternative forwarder... suggestion anyone?

yes.. reliable.
i used their service before. but a little expensive if you just shipped one or 2 item only. better combine more only shipped back will be cheaper

Added on August 26, 2011, 11:35 pmi do have this situation happen with me.
the reason is the item either prohibited to be shipped back to msia via air freight. furthermore, they just have air freight service only.
so they either ask you to discard the item or they help you to shipped back the item to the merchant but have to be charge of return cost.

eh StrawberryGirl so what did you do with those items? I cant discard mine cos those alone amounting to USD1k So i'm planning to redirect those items to another forwarder. Question is to whom?

u got some other forwarder to recommend? preferably one who ships via DHL.. had problems with UPS's delivery Bangla's before. So far based on the experiences found on this thread (great thread btw ) I've ruled out VShub, Vpost, borderlinx. appreciate other's suggestion for an alternative to HSG/CGW

Hi!

Thanks for the respond. Yeah i guess it's also based on luck too! Got my raya bags tax free, but 2 other bags gold held

I just registered with HSG, i hope everything goes fine in the future. Thanks all for this helpful info!

Will try to get bags from UK soon. Will try Alfasent. I will update on the HSG service soon. I hope it wont be held in their warehouse as mentioned by qtrmaster. Handbags aren't prohibited so far. hehe.

i suggest you to shipped the item back by sea freight. so far i have yet to try out. but i saw a lot of good review regarding this forwarders, you may check out their website 1st see itzzit useful for you or not.

It seems vsHub sucks big time, anyone who used that service mind to share more experience here? Like how slow their delivery and service.
Quite worried after used their service without knowing these bad reviews here, dunno what will happen to my parcel.

I'm now experience this with vsHub..
Their reply is extremely slow and sometimes no reply at all.
I wish they would improvce their service at least to have the live chat session and try to answer help us if their is any question from us.

strawberry girl, if i ship 2 bags from UK will it be taxed? The merchant offered flat rate shipping via insured royal air mail, but the custom guy told me even if it's below RM500 they will still tax me unless i use courier service! i dono y using courier service got special privilege so now i have to search for courier service.

Also, how do you declare the items yourself? If the merchant can ship for me do I still need to declare myself?

Guys,

Has anyone here offer bulk order services from UK or Europe?

As far as I know, mostly ppl just offer service from USA.

Nope.. you won't be taxed if you have forwarders help you to declare the item.

i read from your posts that CGW (US shipment) doesnt help to under declare the value... then how if the total value is more than RM500 from the same merchant?
another question is, if i were to declare it myself, what is the steps? and when you under declare those branded stuff like coach bags, no problem with the custom?
thanks in advance

Hai guys need you help. last day i create a new account with shipito. i create a virtual mailbox and pay using my wife paypal account since they don't accept international credit card. I manage to create an shipito account with my name. I buy couple of things from Amazon.com and it's on the way to shipito warehouse. After that i just realize that shipito doesn't accept payment from other credit card (your wife, mother, father) accept your CC. I'm quite confused n want to ask somthing:.

-if they don't accept other CC how can i manage to pay my virtual account using my wife paypal account that have my wife CC?
-if i use paypal account, can they trace whether i use my wife credit in that paypal.
-is there any way to pay shipito other than wire

i'm sorry if my question is confusing & stupid but i appreciate if u can help me. thnx.

when u combine 7 packages in one shipment, the total value needs to be under RM500, or each package under RM500 to avoid tax?
