local kastam will charge you, quite high.. forgot how many % i forgot, the last time i bought was a car cd player, rm 1+++.00 , they charge me around RM 170.00.. furthermore they charge you postlaju.. from kastam to your house

Warranty-wise, it would even charge you more.

Why would you get it from USA when there are local resellers/ suppliers?

Computer related stuff should be tax free no?

I wanted to get a Thinkpad too but how do you get it to ship it here? Unless you get it from eBay (certain sellers will ship to Malaysia).

You have someone in the States to help you deliver? Or are you renting a US postal address?

Notebook should be tax-free as far as I know...

Also, Lenovo has this thing called 'doorbuster' sale once in a while and you'll get a 'huge' discount if you manage to get it at the right time.

Laptop/computer is exempted from tax once entering malaysia. I have bought one laptop from california (in april this year), deliver via USPS and poslaju handle the item. No tax.

Get someone who can buy the stuff for you and ship back to Malaysia. There's many who provide such service here.

To be safe, always use a private courier like GDex/ FedEx/ DHL.

From what many have been saying, PosLaju service isn't really reliable, since they're not private companies where you pay for a guaranteed delivery.

Can Poslaju replace the security seal on the package with their own? My package were sealed with USPS consignment note and security tapes.

If you worry on that part, recommended using private company like USP/DHL which will cost you bomb, or ask someone to buy on your behalf.

bro, u pay by paypall or western union?

I pay using Foreign Telegraphic Transfer via Public Bank since the seller only accept Paypal for registered US address

ic...this TT how much normally charge? %?

is it less than western union or moneygram?

there are 2 charges: the sender (malaysia banks) and the receiver (seller's bank account). But the charges vary on different banks.
we pay for those 2 charges, unless the seller stated otherwise. In my case, i pay the bank charges on my side and the seller handle the charges on their side.

Izzit tax free for any computer thingy ? I planning to get Android pad from ebay around 70 USD ..

I have asked Malaysia custom worker when I get block for checking the luggage during arriving at LCCT!
They said that complete set of computer will not be taxed!
Only computer parts will be taxed!
So, if you buy a full set of computer, you will not be taxed
