wow... 12 days for SAL is kinda fast... even registered mail takes around 15 days+ to arrive (when i bought some items through Ebay)

Thx alot bro...should knw this early then no need work so hard to find out.

by the way, seeing many ppl discuss about the SAL, me here has a doubt of play-asia SAL fee...i order thg about 45 USD from play-asia with the use of SAL and it has insurance(i suppose?), but it free to ship to malaysia..is it bug? below is the screenshot

Something seems weird with that..
FedEx is faster than EMS but yet its cheaper?? o.O

Sometime they have agrement and if quantity is big, the price can go down.

not a bug, even if you use free shipping and item is lost they will refund you in one for or another

if I not mistaken if the value of your order is over a certain value it'll automatically be send using EMS

This thread has saved me from buying bulk or >500MYR... also, this has saved me from buying kinky stuff (the figurines I tell you) from Jlist. phew...
Thx guys...
dang, and i still want to order from JList. damn these restrictions/customs. looks like its a no-no.
are there virtually no packaging service that offers discreet packaging? i gues not...

ugh, if importing masking tape from HLJ, sure no problem lar... What about those spray can??

can, i bought once

Then I decided to get some supplies from HLJ... who want join??

wat supply?

spray, masking tape...

oh i thought u got get supply malaysia cant get one!

lao... i get from hlj because cheaper ma....

RM4 masking tape, here sell RM20
RM15 spray, here sell RM30

Deng...Even + with shipping, also cheaper...

I seldom buy spray so i am not really sure loh! But masking tape if just the reload pack it would be way cheaper than RM20! Should be around RM10+-!

1314 is time to invest on an AB! Those paint u can obtain around RM5.50 per bottle is reasonable! Come join the dark side!

I can easily get one AB but not compressor
Maybe I try spray spray first... after got good skill, only start invest in AB lar..

I found out that most of the item sell in HLJ are not cheap. Specially shipping cost. The cheapest is hong kong site. The shipping cost also cheap.

huh?? You've mistaken. HLJ are far more cheaper than local shops....
Well if you complain about shipping fee, use the ruler and measure

Japan's EMS shipping is so much cheaper than Hong Kong's EMS eventhough Hong Kong is nearer to Malaysia..

Not local shop ler. Hong kong site. I think you better do some research first.

Added on April 4, 2008, 10:40 pmAre you sure? I ve compare few site. HK site is the cheapest. I brought most of the item from HK site. Example, just received a Tamiya spray booth from HK site two days ago.
HK site + shipment cost = rm513
HLJ + shipment cost = rm643
Rainbouten(japan) + shipment cost = rm600
