also, if you think its best for you, try to opt for the USPS Express Mail International service (the EMS).. good tracking system, and wil be handled by PosLaju once it arrived in M'sia.. took exactly 1 week for my item to arrive in my hands smile.gif

not sure about Priority mail though.. but make sure u have the tracking number, should be 13-alphanumericals.. e.g. EN-123456789-US

PayPal is a mixed bag.. so far i have no problems with it, but i have a friend who's in UK and apparently he lost GBP600 due to a hacker attack on his PayPal account  shocking.gif

AFAIK, no Malaysians kena yet..

So far for USA or international tracking, I just happened once from me with it (I loss RM 100). As for USA postal services, there are 3 types of shipping and only USPS Priority Mail with the code like CP-9 digit numbers-US (same as Malaysian parcel) and Express Mail International (same as Pos Laju) -EA-9 digit numbers-US contains tracking. USPS also contains Registered letter and that is a cheap way to send out light items if you think that Priority or Express is expensive. Unless you trust the seller a lot, don't use First Class Mail International as it has no tracking (the number they give is just a proof that the item was received at the post office).

Online selling zone that is trustable will be eBay (also got Malaysia version), Lelong Malaysia and Amazon.
eBay Malaysia - www.ebay.com.my
Lelong Malaysia - www.lelong.com.my
Amazon - www.amazon.com / www.amazon.co.uk

Hey guys, I was wondering- I bought 2 Hot Toys figures from a seller in Singapore. Item was posted on the 18th May via Speedpost Singapore EMS. When can I expect arrival and should I be worried about Customs? Seller already declared its SGD70.  tongue.gif

$70 if it is to peninsula then should be safe, no tax will be imposed.

Bought some stuff from Hobby Search and shipped thru EMS. Got their Shipment Notice email on the 16th and the package came on the 19th. Never thought it would be that quick!

If to major towns it will arrives in 3-4 days though it is international. They usually takes only 1 day to get out from the country and then 1 day to Malaysia, then another 1 day to the recipient.
