Yes, you are right

Sent them inquiry this morning. Haven't heard from em since. :|

It was still late at night in oregon. You should hear from them soon. Use their live chat if required. Cheers

its the customs, all the red tape and stuffs. DHL is a reputable shipping company, im pretty sure it wasnt their fault.

Bought 5 items and have them shipped to my MyAmericanShipper total of $158.66 and after repackaging shipping fees is $34.64.

Received a call from DHL today saying my shipment got taxed because declared value in AWB is above RM1000 ??? WTF! So, tax approx RM80 or so.

Maybe next time I'll try CGW instead.

It is still mystery whether you would get taxed or not if you are on the border line. Since all your item and shipping already more than rm500 there is a likelihood you will get taxed. Rm80 is like 10 to 15% of the total value which make sense. Are you packages are bulky which may attract special attentions?

My 12th shipment was arrived yesterday. Total of RM6++ and got taxed of RM98.8 which is about 12% of total value.. HSG repack my parcel into a large white plastic bag which might looks suspicious.. I think thats why the customs ask me to pay tax..

Mayb next shipment mark the total value below us$130? Not sure new year new surprise. Cheers

Declare it as gift but more than rm500 would not help. Make sure value below rm 500 inclusive postage. Cheers

means even declare as gift they will still open it to check the items?

then if declare it as some cheap item with lower than rm500 price might work?

I reckon they go by value and not the content. Purely luck whether they open or not but if you put belt on the customs declaration paper with a sizable package most likel will be opened.

hi everyone, any recommended reliable and cheap uk or korea forwarding? thx.

hello guys .. would like to ask about HSG .. lets say i have just registered my acc of HSG through paypal, and i decided to bid some figures on ebay. upon paying i just inform the seller of my HSG US address will do? and seems like HSG is asking for more than 30 letters in 'Address line 2' which im staying in subang (even typed Selangor Darul Ehsan also cant get thru and has anyone here used the Global Express US before? it has been on Groupon promotion few months back.. any of your comments would be greatly appreciated thanks !!!

On the second line of HSG US address what does this mean?

c/o MYP-CZMY

do i have to include this to the ebay seller as part of my address as well?

For the address, you might use ommision to simplify. Dhl would easily have it delivered or hey will give you a call to confirm. The myp xxx is your suite no in the hsg facility. They don't go by name but the suite no. For bay, just add th hsg address on your ebaaccount an select it once checkout. Cheers

i use vpost asia to ship 2 items from US and they charged me as 2 different order, so i need to pay 2 times Base charge and accordingly Vpost does not provide consolidate services for Vpost Asia....

Personally i think this is ridicules !! what if i buy 10 items from US then i need to pay 10x Base charge !? In that case, wat's point i using Vpost !?

I looking out for other alternative other than Vpost..... thinking to use CGW or Borderlinx.... which of them is offering consolidating service and better service ?

HSG provides consolidation for multiple items not sure about borderlinx. Cheers

wat is HSG ?
