QUOTE(Jaded-AL @ May 8 2013, 07:05 PM) Hi! Has anybody purchased from Hobby Search recently? It's my first time using Hobby Search and I just placed an order last Friday for some 'in-stock' items to be posted via EMS but until today, they still have not sent me any shipping notification email yet although I have already received my order confirmation email on the same day I placed the order. Are they usually that slow to process orders? Yes..they are damn slow

Hi I'm new to buying figures or new to this section, I like to ask regarding buying figures such as figma figure. I've seen some deal at this china website taobao which is super cheap. I never deal at there before and I've asked the seller and he or she which i dunno who is the seller said it is original.
I would just like to know is it reliable to purchase at that website?

Hi, i got a question about EMS/SAL postage. Do they (Poslaju etc. when it arrive in Malaysia) charge extra to send the package to Sarawak? Or i just only need to pay the shipping fee stated in the HLJ/Hobby Search etc?

SAL Registed will be delivered to you by ordinary post but requiring signature... if not signed, you would have to collect it a the pusat pos (center)

No additional cost... unless the CIF exceeds RM500...which is tax not shipping fees (and applies not matter where you are)

Sorry for my noob inquries...  Sure... with Amiami you can combine with previously bought item(s) ... there's a "drop down menu" way for you to combine. Note: Combining shipping you'll run the risk of exceeding RM500 (CIF) and therefore incurring the 10% tax cost. This post has been edited by BeastX: May 27 2013, 05:23 PM

Question to you guys: Any of you bought anything online that cost more than RM 500 internationally? If so, once the item arrives at custom, do they notify you that you need to pay the tax or you have to go over to KLIA to settle this? I only bought 1 item.

Normally you will get notification by letter. You can either appoint them to clear it for you or you can go to KLIA to clear it yourself. Sometimes it depends on the sender what value he declared, I bought a few so far so good.

I received a notice from Pos Malaysia that the Item is at the Distribution Center (JB where I live) and I have to come an pay the tax to collect.... You can appoint them to be the Customs agent as the law states that you need to appoint a registered agent to pay the tax. And also you need to pay them service charge.... and..... from my experience... they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.......

QUOTE(Iroquois Plissken @ Jun 19 2013, 08:50 PM) Hey guys, I was wondering- I bought 2 Hot Toys figures from a seller in Singapore. Item was posted on the 18th May via Speedpost Singapore EMS. When can I expect arrival and should I be worried about Customs? Seller already declared its SGD70.  $70 if it is to peninsula then should be safe, no tax will be imposed. QUOTE(kevinlowl @ Jul 20 2013, 11:19 AM) Bought some stuff from Hobby Search and shipped thru EMS. Got their Shipment Notice email on the 16th and the package came on the 19th. Never thought it would be that quick! If to major towns it will arrives in 3-4 days though it is international. They usually takes only 1 day to get out from the country and then 1 day to Malaysia, then another 1 day to the recipient.

Thank you I have buy from gwing 3 time, wide range of selection. Delivery time is good as well, the longest time I waited is not more then a week anyway, so it is acceptable for me. Overall, a good option if you looking for some rare items. Pricing wise, gwing stand in the middle I guess, compare to forum, etc.
