it also depends on the declare value of the parcel too. if more then rm200, the chances of kena tax will be higher regardless of the size of the parcel.

if the size of the parcel is like MG Sazabi or MG EX-S the chance of kena tax also higher. Coz it is big n heavy. if the parcel is big like box of 17'inch montior surely will kena.

biggest i got slip through is 2 MG Nu-Gundam(almost same as 2 box of MG Freedom or MG Strike). maybe i was really lucky that time.

sometimes kena tax also cheaper then buying from local...lol.(for some items)

just to share some of my online buying experience. I might be wrong though.

I follow all those fellow lowyaters advice and get only 3 gundam (2 MG 1 HG). The biggest among them is the freedom. Anyway, the whole thing cost RM380. Kena tax Rm109. and need to follow through quite a lot of procedures. And if u don't collect it at the post office within 7 days, they will send it back to the customs and they will apparently send it back to HLJ. Anyway, I treat this as an expensive learning experience. At least now i know how to purchase goods online. thumbup.gif

OMG.. in this case i will be getting taxes for sure this time.. cry.gif

I'm using SAL for PG Strike and Skygrasper.. should be a big parcel.. and is around 24,000 yen.. cry.gif

Meaning the tax i need to pay is the overall prices for my goods plus 15% of it right?! sweat.gif doh.gif

u better worry abt the package will be missing or not before the tax problem? this is the risk for those who took SAL....me also choose SAL all the time, so far so good..touch wood laugh.gif

has anyone ordered from here before?
http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/index.html

the site got a lot paints & hobby supplies
but to order you send email of the product ID together with shipping information
for payment, send the credit card number together in the mail
is this safe? sending credit card number through email? sweat.gif

oops...solie for misunderstood wut u trying to ask.

SAL, usually took 2-3weeks to arrive. So, just 11 working days is still far too early to start worry. My longest waiting record is 1 month, fastest record is 10 days---SAL.

WALAAUuu.. meaning pos malaysia is so much effecient huh?! mad.gif OR did i blame the wrong ppl huh!? sad.gif

(Note: Forgot to mention i'm in SARAWAK!!! meaning further delay of at least one week lor.. sweat.gif )

Anyway, thanks for your advise.. notworthy.gif

Actually, i make my 1st order's transportation via EMS but my last order i thought of using SAL instead.. but somehow HobbyJapan's system just update/give me the last/final option of SAL. It's kind of misunderstanding here.. cry.gif

By right should be..
i) Order one via EMS
ii) Order two via SAL..

BUT ended up both Order via SAL.... rclxub.gif

What a way to send my PG Strike.. doh.gif

ems usually takes 4-7 working days from jap to malaysia, it is the most secured delivery system, coz u can track the package.
