Hi, I'm planning to start buying items from the US for my business. Which would service would you recommend? Thanks

If I purchase some coach handbags value more than RM 500, will I get tax if I use comgateway? Thx..

I juat received my order from Coach.com .

Amount USD 389 (Handbag + std shipping to HSG address) + USD38.9 (buyforme fees @ 10%) + USD78 (Express shipping-DHL) = USD 505.9 = Around RM1600++.

Market price at KLCC = RM2050.

DHL sent from US to My office = 4 days only.

really satisfied. no tax. tq custom.

Ive use hopshopgo, very good, i think they shipping is the cheapest 0.5kg for 24 dollar.No membership fee and i never get tax by custom even if my stuff is more than 500 ringgit. Now im looking for Uk parcel forwarding service, any suggestion?

Ive been a loyal HSG user since last year.. 7 shipments, 21 parcels so far.. 2 shipments kena tax
both 2 shipments thru johor customs.. i think johor customs quite strict..
HSG shipping rates way more cheaper compared to other forwarding company + 10% discount for paypal user..

Added on July 17, 2012, 9:51 ami recommend HSG! way more cheaper than any other forwarding company.. but they charge 10% total order for their Buy For Me concierge service (7% for prime member) and a lil bit late to process the order.. maybe because of payment clearance i guess..

anyway good luck!

The tax imposed is not for laptop, but it is for the other item as per declared (home & bed and etc). The tax for laptop is nil. u can refer at custom tariff by using HS Code 8471 .

Actually what is the item?

oh really?? i've imported a tablet before but x kena tax.. description also put LAPTOP/PC.. thank GOD
go complain and ask for refund!

Hi there , I'm planning to buy a bulk of items ( clothings) 10 above from USA , do you think HSG & CGW are now still reliable after so long? And for europe you still recommend Alfasend? What about JAPAN? THanks!

Added on August 1, 2012, 12:39 amI just found a personal shopper/ forwarding company that is based in UK , they do send items to Malaysia.

Can someone do some research on this company? I'm still new I do not know what to look for. I normally buy clothings and 5 pairs and above every time. Please tell me about the pricing and reliability, and able to under-declare and consolidate or not. THANSK!!!

Have you asked CGW or customs about it?

CGW is the best. Just shipped out a parcel last week

So I tried to use comGateway's shopping bar (Step 2) to purchase from a US website. I got this message:



Can I skip the step and go straight to the merchant website and buy from there and ship to my assigned comGateway address?

If this is possible, how would comGateway know that I have a shipment going to them, since I don't use their shopping bar?

Noob here as I've never used the service before. Appreciate your help.

You can directly buy from the merchant's website if they accept international credit/debit card. if don't, you have to use BuyForMe service.

At the given address, there is a code that they have set just for you. mine was 17146 NE Sandy Blvd, c / 0 MYP-CPTG. and they also refer to the name on the package. its important to use your registered name in ComGateway whenever you want to send package to their warehouse.

*sorry for my bad english

Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it.

So for merchant that accepts international cards, I don't have to use the Search Bar in Step 2 at all?

I thought they keep a record of the items you buy if you use it - so I thought it's bad if you don't.

Also, comGateWay does not charge membership fees right? Certain other services like MyUS.com have different membership packages. I couldn't find any info about that on comGateWay, so I assume they really don't charge membership fees. Am I right?

Yes no need to use the Search Bar thing.. just buy and send your package to your comGateway address..

actually I used HopShopGo, owned by comGateway and i dont think both of them have membership fees..

is CGW website down? I can't seem to login at all

is there tax on baby stuff? like feeding bottles, breastpump, babyfood, baby shampoo
planning to try out hsg but scare get tax
so when they receive ur parcel from shop, they open the box to match invoice?
