You can appoint the poslaju or transportation company to declare for you. Just pay the money to the service. They will call you if your item is at custom and would you like them to declare for you. No need to go custom unless you want. But I will go for the purpose to learn the procedure and the stupid merry go round declaration.
Just do your calculation is it worth to buy online. If the local price is just different a few buck, go and buy locally. The calculation should be price, tax and petrol or tranportation service I guess. For time, well you can go on weekend also or if you free.
It would happen but the risk percentage is low. Those online company you deal are mostly have experience in import /export. They know how to do packaging.
Still it is very very low risk and worth to take.
If the problem like Yunax mention, do we have a choice? Even I live in KL, I still have difficult to get what I want. And I waste a lot petrol and time to find In KL and PJ to get the thing. But if the price is good and avaiable my choice is still buy locally.
Yup..I agree that you can appoint Poslaju to get the parcel for you but what if the custom officers tax you even though the total cost of the item your bought is less than RM500?Just do your calculation is it worth to buy online.

You'll then have to go to the customs office and explain to them why they shouldn't tax you right? Besides, PosLaju's service to pickup your items from the customs office is around RM50 ><.
About the packaging, the best packaging i've ever seen is a online company from the U.S.. HLJ and Play-Asia packaging sucks! Play-Asia uses weak boxes and sometime they just put the item in the box without bubblewraps and styrofoams! As for HLJ, they use stronger boxes but no bubblewraps or any other protection around the item. They do put in the big bubblepack but that thing can burst easily. There was once when I open up my parcel from HLJ, all of those bubblepacks burst! I dunno why but since they are such big and famous companies..can;t they just provide customers with double wall boxes and better protective items??
The item I received from the US toy company was packed by double walled box and the box was like twice the size of the item. Around the item was full of styrofoams that I had to dig lots of them just to get my figure lolz!
