my experience from Fedex shipping from US, twice also get hold my Malaysian custom taxed.

Year 2010 i bought a HTC car kit cradle from US website about USD70, and they offer Fedex shipping just USD10. when arrived at Malaysia tax imposed but without inform, when i receiving my goods that moment, the dispatcher say my parcel get taxed. and about RM8x, and i refuse to receive the item and called up to fedex to check what the f my item get taxed, then they showing me the statement, the car cradle priced at USD70 x 3.8 =  RM266 + Fedex fright charges USD50 (froget the actual) x 3.8 = RM190 + insurance 10% then estimate of insurance bla bla bla, added up total estimation of the product is RM56x then imposed of 20% taxed, due to item over RM500 so it taxed-able. So finally i cancel my purchase, luckily i pay via Paypal, i get full refund.

Mar 2015, i bought something from US, amazon, ebay and others website. then i consolidated those item with forwarder company at US (shipito, sofar so good). item i purchase was 2x phone protect case, 1x screen protector, 1x USB magnator charger USB (for sony xperia) and 5x clothes. then i select fedex economy due to more faster some how shipment cost also expensive USD20 compare USPS international. so i select it, that day is Thursday, item delivered on Monday, super fast, but Malaysia tax imposed again. luckily i declare all he item very cheap, about USD3-5  each item, still i need to pay about RM90 for the custom tax. celeka betul...

so the recent one i also buy things from ebay, and consolidated into a parcel, this time i only buy clothes about 20pcs, then i declare used clothes, and USD1 for each. using USPS international shipping method, then i following the tracking stage day by day, the lessen i learn is they told if the tracking starting with EM then it will delivery to you rapidly, other than that u slow slow wait la. the delivery took + - 10days (exclude sat & sun) buy arrive without any tax imposed.

if you buy something from Japan please use EMS, Friday order, Tuesday or Wednesday received. ichibang services but still send by Poslaju, i got buy toy figure, toy accessories, clothes, from Y3000 ~ Y30000 item, different website, their packaging really the best i ever saw. their postage also quit reasonable, the common  shipment i pay for most of the time is Y2500.

hopefully this statement can help most of our Malaysian bro/sis who purchase.
