Parcel with items worth of RM500 and above will be taxed. =(
Maybe you can ask your family in London to declare it as gift, never try it though.

DHL They are cheap.

Hm, the shipping rate charged by service forwarder or by the company (i.e. DHL and Fedex) itself?
1kg using DHL, quoted by ComGateWay is RM100+ (regular shipping) and RM120+ (express shipping).

I think it should be cheaper through DHL alone because last time, I bought jeans from Evisu International, they charged GBP18.00 for a single shipment to Malaysia (they sent using DHL). And GBP18.00 here is the express shipping, do your math la.

Oh, and GBP18.00 is not for only a pair of jeans. Up to 10 pieces. A pair of Evisu is weighing at 1.4-1.8kg.

OMG, my package has arrived at US CGW's suite. 4 pieces of clothings, but the rate is cheaper.
Chargeable weight 1kg (actual 0.52kg), RM78+ (regular), RM93+ (express). Woohoo!!

Sorry I have no idea, never bought one online before =) But you can email Kastam Malaysia.
They do answer your queries.

I just bought one pair at a time. The item worth RM500+, but I ask them to declare it slightly lower.
As long as, it is lower than RM500.
No tax at all. I did it three times

For clothing it's 20% + 10% if I was not mistaken.

CGW can't declare lower invoice for you.. But Viadress is able to do so.
Evisu too =)

Yes, you are right.. That's the only downfall for CGW, they don't declare lower value..

I've already trusted and confident with CGW.. The shipping rate is cheaper =)
Viadress is great too. But not as cheap as CGW..

Er? It's not free for your info.. They still charge 4.9% for Concierge Service..
I also thought it was free, since the main page advertised it that way. But it is not.

Yes.. I've shipped using their service twice =)

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..

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

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?

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

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

Wah, Malaysian customers can't use their concierge? Dang..

I want to buy something from UK.. Apparently, only VPost enables us to do to that..
But Msians can't use concierge?

Any other options?

Hm.. Have to search for this forwarder service la..
Oh, I've just received rebate from CGW-DHL, so cool!!!

Not found any yet, will share here once I do so =)
Been using CGW for 3 times at the moment. Got USD5 rebate =)

Oh, why is it Viaddress sucks these days? My BF opened an account with them, shipped an item, but no updates whatsoever, no emails replied!
This will be the last time we deal with you!

Thanks for sharing
