last month I'm importing philips avent bottles worth rm2k for my aunt but she wrote to kastam that the bottles are for her baby, not for reselling.. if she didn't tipu the kastam, she has to pay RM8++ !!

my advice is don't import products more than RM500 in value.. but if you have to, split it up to more than 1 parcel, each parcel not more than RM500..

Hi, I ordered one guitar from US whick cost me usd100.. I'm using vshub service for the first time.. They charged me rm1800 for the shipping cost due to my volumetric weight is~45kg.. However actual weight is 7kg..

I already request for photo of the package for verification but i still think that shipping cost is still not feasible.. Plan to just ignore the item there..any advise guys?

anyone know a sea freight forward service from usa?

You should have not use VSHub as discussed earlier..
But since it already happened, I guess you can try nego with VSHub to lower down the shipping fee.
They cheat a lot.

BTW, just to share.
I shipped my parcels last week using comgateway (CGW).
Shipping fee for 3.5kg is USD45.19 = RM142.93! Very cheap and affordable in my opinion.

Hi, I need help. I want to buy something from a merchant in eBay. This merchant only accept PayPal & only ship to confirmed address in PayPal. I plan to use HSG service. Problem is, my PayPal account won't let me add a US address. What do I do?

Of course Paypal needs you to use legit billing address.
I paid using Paypal before, billing address is in Malaysia, shipped to US. No problem..
Can you show us the Ebay link? Maybe you get confused.

hi guys, which shipping agency do you guys recommend? from uk to msia. cheap and reliable agency. i wana buy stuffs from sports direct uk. thx

this year i kena 2 time custom tax already..
really fed up..
nowaday custom so strict .............. >.<
even apparel and shoe will be get tax..
all have to becareful before declare your stuff back to msia.

yup. last week and this week. 2 batches of spree
shoes, apparels , electronics, sporting goods (mixed items)

mine was around 10%~13% of the whole declared value + shipping

My parcels got taxed too..

Total purchase from Ralph Lauren and Gap is RM821.07.
CGW shipping is RM142.93.
Tax: RM136.92

Oh well, I guess they are strict these days..

I heard of Alfasent before, but never give it a try.. Not sure how.
Or you can try Brionybuys..

can anyone suggest me a UK forwarder?

i hope this situation will be end soon..
even the courier guy which is the same guys since last 2 years ago until now also feel strange. he said " i hantar banyak kali bagi awak tak pernah kena tax, kenapa awak punya barang tiba - tiba kena tax " lolz...
he also strange

Planning to get imac from amazon us. Any recommended forward company? It's about 12kg weight. Will get tax by custom ? I'm first time use amazon. Please guide me and thanks.

Any cheap shippers from uk to malaysia?I dont want to use palshipping because many times few items will be missing and they dont want to be responsible for it.

I've gone through this thread entirely from page 1...So far i've seen lots of good comments on HSG and CGW...

I'm looking forward to buy some stuff from a company located in Florida...This company does receive international order and international shipment to M'sia...

Direct shipment from the company will be cheaper or using forwarder service such as HSG, CGW or MYUS will be cheaper?...
