New here in the thread? Probably but my experience in ordering from Amazon dated since 2002 and I know how kastam officers works from then till now.

Unless you "paid" logistics to clear your stuff, that is another story but 50 to 70 titles at one go and the kastams release it to you can only mean:-

A). Those idiots are sleeping at their job (which my encounter with them, some kastam officers do sleep at their job literally; even saw one snoring).

B). You pay "handsomely" on "teh tarik" (even my experience on "teh tarik" was the greedy police officer at the police booth; even RM 2 he wants! Sheesh). A friend of mine have to go "closed door" to pay off a lot of cash on a RM 1k toy figure just to clear it.

C). You manage to sneak into the complex and grab your stuff (which is a fantasy).

Showing "pictures" don't mean anything, its "how you manage to get your 50 to 70 titles" at one go that matters to most of us puzzle forumers here  rolleyes.gif

Wow, seems like your knowledge of kastam officers are not deep enough, because my way of shipping doesn't involve any of your A, B or C. I guess you're the only one puzzled here, not "most of us" because I have been helping more than 20 regular forumers to ship each month for many years. smile.gif

Well, you are right on one thing - you found a way to "escape" from the clutches of kastam officers only. Hey, 20 regular forumers is still consider little if you take a look at how many newbies around here that joins this thread... can't blame those who did not know since not everyone do check back dated thread post.

My knowledge on kastam officers is based on 'experiences' with them was based on the laws and rule/regulations and even meeting with them plus even talking to the kastam officers.

You just show us "how dumb they are (again)" and how there is a way to escape from it (literally).

You only found a way without being "tax" and if they knew this information, they will get their hands full on this.

Anyway, this is good info and like I said "I am new to this thread"

Doesn't that require "paying extra" for the shipment?

Update:- Holy crap, he's right!

nope.. been using vpost for a while now.. cheaper and the charges are in SGD especially if they have discounts or promotions. You can also track your parcel as they are using EMS. Shipment around 8-10 days after you've made the payment.

No need lubang or anything. Those who have follow this thread long enough, they should already know the way. For newbies and recent adopters, have your Amazon shipment ship to a US forwarding company, then forward it back to Malaysia instead of shipping direct from Amazon to Malaysia.

Some examples of forwarding companies are vPost and Borderlinx.

Hi, do you might explain in more details on how to do this, if can't post here, I hope you can PM me the way. smile.gif Thanks 1st

Wait ~ using Borderlinx still requires payment for shipping charges:-

QUOTE
Examples of shipping charges

Weight examples  Standard Service 4 - 6 days  Express Service 2 - 3 days
1 kg                    $ 24.00                                  $ 39.00
2 kg                    $ 30.50                                  $ 47.00
5 kg                    $ 50.00                                  $ 71.00
10 kg                  $ 82.50                                  $ 106.00
25 kg                  $ 173.50                                $ 196.00


So means using this services for 50 to 70 titles need to pay like this much for the shipping services just to have kastam clearance?!?

Is this worth it? rclxub.gif

Worth it for those who order 50 to 70 titles... nod.gif
