I don't really understand your question. You mean how to let the seller knows that you've banked in the cash?

If you bank in via the ATM, you can get the receipt from the ATM, scan or take a photo of it and e-mail it to the seller as a proof.

If you do online transaction, take a screenshot of the transaction and email it to the seller.

Added on June 3, 2008, 8:00 amSAL does not include registration, thus you can't track it.

SAL or EMS, both also you have to pay tax BUT if you use SAL, the customs have the right to tax you regardless of the total cost of the items, even if its just RM100. If you use EMS, the customs only have the right to tax you if the total cost of the items is more than RM500.

Total cost = Item cost + Shipping Cost + Insurance (if you have)

I can see that the stuff you wanna order only costs RM82. Why not but more stuff or ask some frends whether they wanna get anything from there? You can share and save shipping cost and use EMS lolz.

Huh..SAL got tracking??

Wow..nice!!

Thanks for the info!!

Hmm..maybe that SAL is the trackable one..

IMO, once your parcel is in Malayisa, KL, you have to contact PosLaju and check with them coz sometimes JapanPost EMS will update slow since your parcel is already in Msia.

They will send to Sabah..dun worry..
Normally since the parcel is to be sent to Sabah and Sabah/Sandakan has its own kastam, they will send it there.

I recommend you to check with PosLaju nearby your area, just give them a call and tell them the tracking number

Call PosLaju bro..confirm with them whether custom just wanna inspect or they've already detained your parcel..

That's the downside of online purchase..you can't check the condition before buying..

I don't think HLJ can do much about it. Even if they allow you to exchange the product, you still have to bear the shipping cost to Japan..

You do not have to return the damaged product to them??

XL's packaging is SUPER GOOD!!

You won't regret!

its always 15% of the final total of the invoice which is of course incl. postage. If there are insurance charges then they will also consider it

Which part of Malaysia are you in?

Maybe they came once but you're not around?

Yup, then when you receive your item, you'll have the pay the PosLaju fee and the tax.

Yup! Moreover the customs advice that it's better if you go to the customs and pick the item up yourself. So if you need to pay tax, you can discuss with the customs to lessen the amount of tax you have to pay. There was once when they detain my CDs from Play-Asia, the tax was supposed to be almost RM80 but in the end I only had to pay RM40 ^^

What's the shipping method? You need to visit the customs at KLIA.

I'm not sure what shipping method is that..but usually what you have to do is print out an invoice by Amazon, drive to KLIA and be prepared to pay tax.

You can try to negotiate with the officers to reduce your tax.

However if you're shipping method is EMS or SpeedPost, you'll be exempted from tax if the total cost of the item you bought is less than RM500 (total cost = item cost + shipping cost).

Btw, how did you receive the letter? Via normal post or PosLaju?

Oh..then you'll need to pay tax

It depends on what's your item. They will refer to a book which shows the percentage of tax you have to pay from different types of items.

I think for figures..its 15%, CDs is around 30% and DVDs is around 50% (according to ketua kastam..not sure true or not)

Right! And also not that our parcels will get detained by customs everytime.

Henry, next time try not to buy anything which will cost you more than RM500 even if you use EMS/Speedpost. Its risky..

Yea..always to that with eBay..
But with Amazon and other famous online shops..I think its hard ><

Maybe you can call the customs. I've heard that books will not be taxed..but its better for you to confirm with the custom officers.
