that mean kena la since my item would be around RM430 plus shipping cost around RM200..

kastam officer will contact me or i need to call they?

Location? KL?... If KL you'll have to go to KLIA to clear/pay tax... or "lantik" Poslaju to clear it for you (with service charge). Other places (in cities/capitals) are more flexible. KL residents (I'm not) maybe better to inform you.

my location at kedah..

Just a guess... you'll have to claim/pay tax at the custom department in Butterworth's post office... or pay RM49.50 to Pos Malaysia as an agent + tax. If you go yourself you may get a little reduced or not pay tax at all, if you have evidence/solid argument/fact to back claim.

To this (below) post office.... if I'm not wrong...

Some kastam department may ask u to open box, or make another declaration if the declaration made by the sender not quite clear. They will normally charge you 15% or 15.5% after adding shipment charges then add another documentation charge not more than RM 50. If its a sexy stuff you need to be more careful because they may rampas it. But for most of the imported toys will see the status " detained by custom", this mean u need to settle the taxes stuff and declaration part.

These are my experiences and hope its help!!! Goodluck!!!

oic..maybe i will use pos malaysia as an agent lol since im not quite familiar with that place..

lol,i order some figure and electronic hand held..hope kastam not detained la

If mixed lagi teruk on the declaration part, caused electronic products and toys were in different category and rate.

If you really fear going there, i think you need to find an agent to help you do K1 declaration.

For me i prefer buying figure at our local shops, some people wanna save that few RMs but end up paying this and that, also risk your items and waste time if you have faced such problems.

i will use an agent service to help me la if like that..will update later since my parcel still in inspection..maybe 2 or 3 days later will know the status of my item..hope no be detained la..

anyone here ever bought any gundam decals from http://samueldecal.com/ before?

where can i find revoltech danboard really need it! please help XL doesnt have stock

Hello everyone here reading this...erm i'm trying to get a item from ebay...is it will take any risk?the price already high...really scared after pay the payment bt dint get the item...how?depend on luck?

oh sheet man...thats what i kena for 2 times
it happens like this for the 1st time....its 12pm something...i suddenly awake and 'sensed' that my parcel will arrive that day
then i start walking in front house to see whether anyone in house got help me to collect the parcel or not
then i saw 1 postman in front my house, and a small box in front of his motor (which is my parcel and i didnt know that its that small !)
so i feel disappointed and the postman leave (i think he honk me when i not awake)
then i saw he met his another postman fren in the opposite road and talking to each other day then he pusing balik to my house, shake shake shake my parcel and throw in my house
i was like 'Noooooo' and its too late =_="
i think his fren telling him (just throw the thing in house will do lar, jom kita pi makan ~ [since its lunch time]) lolz

2nd time is after i wake up i already saw my parcel on floor, not again..... @#$@!$!$@%$#
to prevent this thing happen on my next shipment, i straight go my area post office and talk to the head of parcel department, told them not to throw my parcel anymore if nobody at home, just leave a message and i will go collect from them
the box stated 'Handle with Care' so big, takkan they dont know how to read kah ?

Experience for HLJ with SAL Small Packet package

in my place normally they throw like this too...becos no need get sign. But lucky everytime the thg inside no get any shock damage, thx to nice absorb shocking packing box.

That's why I never use home address for shipping. I use my workplace's.

Golbeza, I once dealt with samuel chan from samueldecal, but not directly. One online hobby shop made a mistake by sending me a wrong decal, and they replaced a right one, direct from HK as they (local hobby shop) didn't have it in their stocks.

But aaa, the decal seems a bit out of QC for me, as it is way tooo easy to get wiped off.

Request dealings proof with Kastam (KLIA) that purchases with HLJ that is below RM500 (with free shipping, but may exceed if they add EMS price + goods)...

by p.m. me with black-out address and particulars if you deem necessary..

Thanks....

Hi everyone,

I had ordered aircraft models from USA.
Total cost me RM850 with delivery charge, but the company stated in the list as a gift that valued USD $40-45.

So my question is will my items still hold by Malaysia customs or not?
and I need to pay tax again or not?
