Hahah , alright xP Thanks anyway,

Hi guys...I am thinking of buying the ASUS G73JH-A1 laptop, in this forum i saw that u can buy online from Xoticpc, provantage n Mucro....so, what is the availability of this model on that website? in Mucro they are saying that "end-May" I've emailed them asking the availability of the model, but have yet to receive an answer...huhuhu...one more thing... as far as I know, buying/importing laptop is tax free.....but now i'm reading here that some forumers had a very very BAD experienced with our customs..huhuhu.....I am now in doubt...should i buy, or shouldn't buy online.....huhuhuhhu....pls advice...

Since the G73JH comes with a very big box surely customs will stop it. Since ur at Pahang, u need to let Pos Malaysia kautim 4 u. RM 50 I think they will send a form to ur home for u to sign then bank in the money or sumthing. I got my laptop b4 the form came. Usually it's around 2-3 days after the laptop arrive at sepang and stop by customs. Maybe u can try ask the seller to state there big big laptop and include a big big packing list what's inside. Actually I don't trust the people at pos laju coz I lost a few items b4 once they know what's inside.

Anyway depends how it goes if ur lucky they won't stop ur item but i think surely stop coz I asked the customs assistant director he say most of the big items surely kena tahan scare smuggle items altho they got x-ray.

Added on June 8, 2010, 4:57 amWell if u check back a few pages I order from GentechPC and got mine less than 1 week. Customs usually not much prob if u collect ur item urself. Usually u can track the progress of ur parcel at usps website once u see it's at sepang or malaysia then next day u will get a call to notify u got a package arrive edi then if kena tahan customs u must authorize pos malaysia to collect it, or u can collect ur self. It might take a few hours to sort out if self collect but definitely safer than letting some monkeys collect on ur behalf and then even opening up ur item. So far I haven't hear any horror stories, but I seen a few agents doin it so imagine ur item open by them if they find it their taste it might go missing. But this is worst case scenario, i believe usually they don't open as pos malaysia wants to earn money also so being an agent they usually dun need to open the parcel edi.

Anyway I would recommend getting from Gentech, if u dun dare I can help u to arrange it, but must pay deposit or sumthing 1st else kinda risky unless u dun mind waiting, coz I usually order the A2 spec instead of A1 coz bluray is useless for me.

AFAIK you have to check their websites or email them to ask about their availability. Mucro... hmm... if you have read previous posts you'll know they are lack of communication so its hard to get an answer from them. I think in this forum most owners don't really have BAD BAD experiences except Jeffery (poor thing... btw how's your complaint going?) who's in Germany. Mostly your laptop will either get caught by customs and you'll need to pay RM18 to fill in a form and pick up from sepang or ask pos malaysia to help you, or you get lucky and they deliver the laptop straight to you doorstep, which is my case.

If they have availability and you pay straight away, most US reseller will ship pretty quick and you'll get the laptop within 5-7 days using USPS.

Good luck with your search.

is BTO this online trust able ?
http://www.btotech.com/
they have rdy stock for G73jh any model and can be CUSTOMIZE.........

my G73 arrived today in CubeHub, going to SG this friday to pick it up

Thanks for the info!! So , what I can do is ask Ken to State the packing list outside the package? And , is there anyway I can make it directly deliver to my house? Or perhaps , in the pos office in my city? Because i don't think I could travel that far to Sepang for collecting the parcel. Beside that , I really dun wanna take the risk to ask the staff there to open up , check and deliver to me. What if my stuff gone missing

lol. thanks for that

Not sure if BTOTech sends to Malaysia or not. When I ordered they did not.

I actually won't encourage this. Reason being, laptop is tax and duty free. However, the backpack might not be. As for your parcel being opened up . . customs will need to open up your parcel to make sure its a laptop . . so its gonna get opened up one way or another unless you get lucky. If you're paranoid and can't be able to collect yourself in Sepang, I would suggest you making sure what kind of insurance is being offered by the reseller. Make sure you get one that says insured up to your doorstep.

For the time being, Asus G73Jh is not available at Malaysia. Thus, you can only order it via online. There are quite a number of reliable e-sellers out there. For instance, GenTechPC, XoticPC and etc. Nevertheless, I recommend you to buy it via GenTechPC. Ken Lee from GenTechPC offers great customer service to me last time. Thumbs up from me!

I can help you to inform Ken Lee if you are really want to buy it. Hence, he will take extra care for your order.

Well I believe they already state at the packing list and declare edi. The box is huge, once u see it u will know damn huge that's the reason why my parcel got stopped according to the assistant director of customs. According to him sometimes it's random, if ur lucky u never get stop if ur unlucky ur parcel how big or small also will get stopped. I receive my M15x without problem straight to my home. The box is much smaller compare to the G73JH.

Added on June 8, 2010, 9:02 pmIf u wanna talk bout wifi, communications, bagpack, sure will get tax. But since it's a whole package for your computer aka laptop, it should not be taxed. U can check the rate at the customs website. Tariff For Malaysian Customs

If u know how to answer usually no tax, but if u r too smart go tellin them got back, got wifi or communication device then surely will kena tax. I brought in many pc stuff b4, unless u r too smart tellin them bout it usually they assume it's a package thus no prob. Do note if they wanna tax ur bag I remember it's 5% import tax and 10% duty. But dunno why the day I was there a lady got tax 20% duty and 10% import tax. Her LV bag bought online cheap also no use edi.

Added on June 8, 2010, 9:10 pm Any news bout your laptop ? Hope u can get it soon. Else like what I said try to get the Malaysian embassy to help u sort it out as your a student studying there or maybe your college. Usually if ur college or uni can talk on your behalf it might be better as german talking to germans should be better and friendlier.

To get the same spec like G73jh for Allienware is too expensive for me Anyway, Thanks again! Really wish I'm lucky enough to be the very 1st one whom have big parcel like that deliver smoooothly to house without stopping by custom >o<!

I will try to sort it out tomorrow. I will let you guys know if I have successfully brought the notebook to my hostel.

Actually it's true for the same spec, size and quality sager, alienware, msi also cannot fight. Too bad the 2 hdd cannot run raid. Now i'm using the M15x the size is smaller but weight is same as G73JH .

Added on June 8, 2010, 9:33 pmwish u good luck bro, I kinda miss the G73JH actually but the size is really abit big.

Added on June 8, 2010, 11:32 pmbut Jeffry1987, does GentechPc has ready stock available? so far Xotic back order have to wait for 6to8 weeks or more (not including shipping time), same as Provantage, Mucro no reply(huhuhuuhu)..Amazon has ready stock, but price is higher than fore mentioned e-sellers...so the best choice here IS GenTechPC, provided they can surely deliver in a few weeks times....( I dun have the patience to wait) huhuhuhuhuhuhu...After careful considerations (and alot of "racun"..) I will by this model next month....thats why I'm researching now for the best priced, reliable seller, etc.... hehehe... btw this IS the first time I'll be buying anything from the net......huhuhu

I got my G73JH-A2 from gentech in less than 6 days. I order on Friday, got it on Thursday. The laptop arrive at Sepang on wednesday night, I can track the whole progress at USPS website. On thursday morning I got a call from pos malaysia saying my laptop is held at customs they ask if I wanna appoint them as my agent to collect or I self collect of course I opt to collect myself so around 1pm I reach sepang at about 1pm+ I edi got the lappy but took around 1 hour + to settle the whole ordeal in fact when I got the release letter only the assistant director of customs told me I don't need to get the release letter as it's a laptop. Mebe he hint sumthing else I really dunno but had to pay RM 18 to get the release form. Anyway the whole ordeal is a very good experience so next time if I order again I won't have probs.
Btw I also would recommend Gentech PC and to get assistance from Ken Lee he is a great guy even reply pm and emails after working hours. As for the G73JH stocks he assure me he would be getting new stocks soon I guess it's around mid of this month or so and must order fast.

Tek
i do Pm them . they say they willing to postage laptops to malaysia but using UPS only ....
and he say using UPS will reach my doorstep by not having KASTAM hassle ....... but i have some question is is BTO this COMPANY trusted ??

ok..roger that......care to share ur experience? becoz last time i went to the Sepang Customs to take some documents (in which i dunno why my company didn't sent thro' DHL, UPS, etc) i got some bad experience...1st, i had to take a pass at one of the guard office...when reaching there, i was denied acces just becoz i am not wearing a collared shirt (wtf! how should i know the dress code or wuteva...) but after some explaining and a little bit of begging...ok..i can take my pass...but then i need some kind of letter from company, saying that THE PACKAGE is for me....ok after a few calls company fax the letter direct to the office..then i have to pay rm5 for the pass....huhuhu then got the pass...got thro the gate...got lost inside...huhuhhuhu....then reached the counter for retrieving my documents, got to pay rm30 for processing.....huhuhuhu.......btw this customs place that i mentioned is the one near LCCT terminal...izzit THAT same place where you collect your laptop??
