Uh not true. I shipped via USPS International and it did not get stopped by customs, it arrived in my house in 12 days total.

Does me posting about my experience with the laptop and all meant nothing to you?
Hehe in short . . the power brick works. It is rated 100-240v. You either get an adapter or the power cord.

You're one lucky b*****d

Or

I am just unlucky

Did your laptop get stopped by customs? I thought there's no import duties or custom tax in Malaysia just ordered my A1 from powernotebooks (cancelled the pre-order with Xotic)... I have no idea how to clear the customs...

Yes it got stopped by customs. And yes there are no import duties or tax for laptops in Malaysia.

As for clearing customs, you can either appoint Pos Malaysia as your agent and pay them a fee or go collect it by yourself. It's a simple task which if needed, you will have to pay RM18 for the custom clearance fee and you're set to go

Oh oh OK... but if my laptop is stopped by customs, will they send a letter or call to let me know? how long does it take for you from "deliver from US - Customs cleared - Safely arrive your home"? Thanks~

Sent April 20th ---> Into Customs 26th April.
Collected myself 27th April

Pos Malaysia will call you to inform you that your item is held by Customs and whether you will like to collect yourself or appoint them as an agent for a fee.

Oh oh I see I see... Thanks a lot tek... I feel more calm now..

Tek u order from xotic PC right ??

yeah true..based on his previous post

how much did TEK pay for it
and TEK what COURIER service u pay for ?
thanks for all member that who help me and reply thanks !

i guess. he just paid the site, total. and then everything from packaging, courier etc the site company handle it. if got cought by custom, then you'll need to pay small fees or ask the pos guy to be an agent for you for a fee.

but, read somewhere, to guarantee to your door-step, you could always opted for dhl/fedex service. but bit pricey. at least, i've been using DHL, imported thousand of dollars item without getting held by customs.

and it's much cost saving if you're far away from custom center like me..need to go to JB and so much hassle etc..

Keep us updated cause you orderin from powernotebooks!
I was thinking of that too since xoticpc takes too long

Yeah sure! but I actually asked for a specific ship date since I'm only coming back in June. So probably can only give you an update in early or mid June.

and yeah XoticPC is taking too long where as powernotebooks has all the models in stock. Probably will get yours in less than 2 weeks time! + the sales advisor Donald was very helpful and I always get fast response. So would recommend him if you are ordering from them

Hatshepsut
powernotebooks got courier service to malaysia ??
i cant find selected country to malaysia .....

I just select USPS Worldwide, they have UPS Worldwide as well, which cost double the price as USPS i think. I paid $175 for USPS.

u already order with them ??

nod nod

You have ordered yourself an A1 or A2? How much did it costs for the machine + shipping fee. I'm thinking of ordering from GenTechPC but still have a long queue on it. Thus, powernotebooks is my next target. Oh yea, how did you pay them？ Via PayPal or bank wire. Personally, I want to use PayPal.

I've ordered an A1. I've customised my laptop a bit, upgrade one of my hard drive to 160GB SSD and wireless card. If its a standard A1 is USD1645. Shipping fee is USD175. They have the 3% cash discount as well.

Powernotebooks currently has all the model in stock. So you can check them out. Unfortunately they only accept wire transfer for international order.
