Hello all forumers. I just won an auction for the above stated notebook.

For shipping, I am being offered to choose:

- UPS
- USPS or
- Fedex

No DHL because it's nowhere nearby.
Which one is the best for shipping my notebook to Malaysia?

Thanks.

FedEx. It'll be expensive, though.

UPS charges are USD170.00
Fedex is USD170.00 also
USPS is USD55.00 arriving in 6 to 10 days and with insurance its USD70.00

Also, just to confirm.. there is no tax for notebook right? they just charge the 10% charges on unit price. Am I right?

FedEx is very reliable, I'd choose FedEx. I think they have some sort of arrangement with the customs - your item doesn't need to go through the screening. I'm not sure, but I've read that before.

i think computer products are not taxable if i'm not wrong.

anyway to share, UPS is quite realiable from my experience.
fedex has less likely chance to be taxed cos they go thru subang airport and not KLIA.
seems to be less stricter there.
