Can anyone tell me if http://www.teencom.com.my/ is reliable? I want to order some stuff from them and don't want to get screwed. Also I live in Brunei, will they charge heavily for shipping?

Guess I have no option but to order from play-asia. This is what i been replied from an enquiry with xl-shop:
I was in total shock with such a bizzare customer service reply letter. Oh well...wish me luck with PA...

dun worry too much about ordering from PA, me and some of my friend ordered countless stuff from them and I even provide service to order stuff from PA for other forumers, no problem at all.

You just need to know the safe value which is usually below RM200 but I have ordered above that and use free shipping, no problem. Most of the time if just small package custom don't bother to check, they just let it pass.

All my figures, anime dvds, dvds are bought online, from PA, HS or from US, only twice my stuff got held by custom. once kena tax, second time no tax, they just let me take the stuff after open and looking at the content. None of my stuff from HS have been held or tax before.

On packing, between HLJ, HS and PA, HS is better since they use paper, so it won't damage the box inside. PA use styrofoam which can sometimes damage the box, but usually just a bit of dent, nothing serious. I don't buy from HLJ much, but they use plastic bags fill with air, not very secure.

They just print a dummy invoice to stick at the box for our custom declare. The actual real invoice, either email to you or inside the box. But for country like japan and singapore (what I know), they cannot do that. Thier local custom will check their company account and in trouble. I m suprise the HK can do that.  rclxms.gif

For the anime dvds I got from US, the snailmail the real invoice to me, and for the box they just write a dummy invoice. So no matter if I buy boxset or single dvd, it's always USD5 each, so even if I do get taxed the amount they tax also low. Tax for DVD is quite high.

Usually take about 6-7days. The damn HLJ use SAL. I don't no why cause in my order I state use EMS. The last package I collect is yeaterday from KLIA. Kena tax rm100+. mad.gif Anyway, using SAL is ok for me. As long as the shipment cost is low and won't take my item around the world before sending to me.

How much your item for each order? Did you instruct them to reduce amount in invoice for custom purpose?
