well leroy, buying online is just another option..
from past my purchases, if u take into consideration of time, fuel expenses and parking, i saved almost RM70...
moreover, some of us buy online bcoz the item is really hard to get here or the price is unreasonable..
tips of buying online is u dont buy 1 item, buy at least 3 and do the calculation...
buying more than 1 will make the shipping charges lower, ex: (2 item+shipping) / 2 = cheaper price for 1 item.
but, make sure u scout what u want locally 1st, then only look online...
calculate how much u can save...
my experience says that its cheaper, striderozy always buy handful of SD's from rainbowten and are very happy with it...
i did my homework b4 i purchase online..

ok i understand, thanks for the tips!!!!

Yaya......
If can get it locally, I dont find any reason why I dun buy it locally.....
But the problem is I cant any nice shop selling BB gundam here, and also if they have, they are going to charge you sky high the price.......
For example, a 500yen SD can be sold as high as RM60 here like SD Deathcsythe........
If they sell it with RM25, I probably will buy it locally as I dont have to bear the risk that my item lost during delivery and etc......
Anyway, I still prefer to buy online for gundam item......

Receive my Alter 1/8 Hikaru Death Cloth version from Hobby Search today, sent using EMS, figure price 4795, shipping 1660, arrive in 3 days

striderozy..

mind telling which "area" shop is selling SD (500yen) at rm60?
it's better not naming shop name

Somewhere in KL....
Should ask hitsugayat since I am getting this info from him......

ordered Mirei from Animewild, shipped on the 18 June, arrive 27 Jul, using USPS International Priority. Avoid at all cost unless you want to wait more than 1 mnth for your stuff to arrive

good to hear you got your stuff. guess i have to wait a month for mine also.

Thats super long..

I bought a DVD from amazon and it only took me about 2 weeks!!

Btw..how much you paid for the shipping?

Hi all!!!

Try buy at MyClick-Shop and see how fast the delivery is

Dude..dun compare Malaysian online shop and overseas

Of course Msian online shops deliver faster to Msian customers and US shops deliver their stuff faster to US customers..its so obvious!

And that site you posted..so far I only see gundam models..no PVC figures so far..and summore when I tried to register..I was asked to select my state but I cant find the state 'Penang' there..

And when I click 'About Us', this is what I get..Put here your "About us" information.

Looks like its a new established online shop..esp for gundam figures..

most probably or I could be just unlucky

the shipping was 27.65USD, USPS Priority Mail International

ive bought a Tomy Aerotech RC model from Playasia about 2.5 weeks back and chose the airmail (free) shipping option and have not recieved it. anyone knows whether the local customs has tax levies on R/C products?

Usually I'll receive mine within 10 days..most often 7 days..

If you kena tax..the customs department will send you a letter informing that they have detained your parcel

havent gotten that letter. most probably got lost in the mail. dammit

Kev there are times when the shipment may be late though, happen to me before, took about 3 weeks if i not mistaken

so far it took me less then 1 week for me to get the stuff i ordered from HongKong hobbyshop.... that is pretty fast....

and i haven order anything from US/UK since i prefer to keep the deal on the APAC region.. cheaper shipping..

kuman

the last shipment from play asia came after a week and a half too dunno what's going to come of this - the support staff bryan said that they are looking into the matter and will take up to TWO weeks to settle it

strange...my order for playsia is good....1 week can arrive oredi....

order their pvc gal, model kit, candy, square enix playarts n ps2 games as well.....

i even try order their poster...lol..

pack in those hard tube casing, like shuttercock casing like that.....
