Hey guys,

Just want to confirm something after reading a few posts on this thread.

Is it true that if a product + shipment which totaled up to less than RM500, we would not be taxed, but only questioned by them?

Just a heads up so that I can make some purchases online smile.gif

Well, if you got lucky enough, they don't even care and the parcel will safely arrive at your doorstep. biggrin.gif So far, all my parcel (range ard RM300-RM470 Magazines, and PVC Figurines) all safely arrived my home. icon_rolleyes.gif The most risk gamble one will be my Dakimakura parcel... Luckily also safely arrived. wub.gif

Hi guys, im new here...
juz order from HLJ last last week.

total items cost 500 and freight 200 = 700.
Any idea tat is it detained or passed? quite a bigbox i think(4 box of battleships o.0).

here is the status from
SAL tracking site..
http://tracking.post.japanpost.jp/service/...54500JP&x=0&y=0

Usually once you see the status "Departure from inward office of exchange", you will know that the parcel already pass the custom check.

Any item with 500 and below, there won't  be any custom charged. custom charged does not include postage fee, so even if your total is 700.. and your postage is rm200 or more... u avoid custom fees

It that true?? shocking.gif Must find a day to confirm this by buying a RM 500 stuff. brows.gif brows.gif

But when they happens to tax you, they include the shipping charges into the tax. Meaning if it's RM700, with 10%, that's RM70 of tax, not just tax on the item cost itself.
*
I see... I wonder all these are proven already or not? hmm.gif

So far, I import all parcel below RM 500 all turn out fine. Exceed RM500 I never try before unless it is proven.

I guess you have to deactivate the billing agreement so they won't auto charge you money and have enough time for you to edit your order until you satisfy. hmm.gif

Sent to MAL won't need 9 days but because of their slow processing service then it's possible 9 days.

EDITED: Now only received my parcels from HLJ due to their Golden Week... doh.gif

Well, I'm not surprise as one of my friend due to their "friendly" attitude toward customer, also stop dealing with them.

p/s: the figure was a nendoroid, and I ordered a bunch of them.

Well, from what my understanding, they afraid that same case might happen again for your order as you order same category item from them.

The missing hair part case already happen once and is unbelievable thing for them but they have no choice but to admit their fault. That's why they return your money and ask you to keep the nendoroid. But after they found out that your new order is nendoroid again, same category item, they suspect that you are a claimer who claim to have other missing part and wish to get the nendoroid for free, so they cancel off your order and wanted to prevent same thing happen to them again.

This is just base on my understanding of those japanese sentence with my knowledge as I don't believe in google translation since they can translate words but not sentences. For example: "遠慮なくなんでも書きこんでください。" which means Please write with no hesitate. But google translate can alter the meaning to Please write anything feel crowded.

Anyway, You have to understand that I am the victim, for being banned from buying anymore items from them due to their own mishandling, it has nothing to do with the translation from google or suspicious of name calling.

I understand... I just explain that this might be what they thought of you... So maybe you want to clear the misunderstand up with them? But still base on their attitude toward customers, I think not just you as the victim... Even my friend also can't stand their attitude and stop dealing with them. So I guess you might want to find other sources to get your nendoroid supply then...

No PM from them? Usually after they cancel an order, either they will PM you the reason or you have to PM them to ask. So far I have no problem with AmiAmi with EMS service. SAL I never even dare to try... tongue.gif

HLJ really useless. Preorders also can tell me no stock. The whole idea of a preorder is the guaranteed stock when item is released. Last time I'm buying stuff from them

You still have to consider the availability of the stock... If the stock are limited, they also have no choice... But yet, I understand you situation as HLJ cancel quite a lot of my preorders too... Maybe used to it d... unsure.gif

Well, like BeastX said, just get used to their system and you will be fine. I have used their service for years and still okay with it cause I have "once burnt, twice shy, lesson learnt". Mostly I use their service to import magazines monthly. drool.gif

Well, if for me, I'll just fill in name and address for part B and leave the company thingy in blank as I'm my own 'company'. And for Part C I go fill others. Since they no mention must fill all of them...
