Sometimes, i can't believe those ppl who's handling goods.  Can't they just be a little bit more gentle to goods??  Wonder got place to complain on this matter huh?!  |

QUOTE(StormV @ Apr 22 2006, 02:34 PM) it also depends on the declare value of the parcel too. if more then rm200, the chances of kena tax will be higher regardless of the size of the parcel. OMG.. in this case i will be getting taxes for sure this time.. if the size of the parcel is like MG Sazabi or MG EX-S the chance of kena tax also higher. Coz it is big n heavy. if the parcel is big like box of 17'inch montior surely will kena. biggest i got slip through is 2 MG Nu-Gundam(almost same as 2 box of MG Freedom or MG Strike). maybe i was really lucky that time. sometimes kena tax also cheaper then buying from local...lol.(for some items) just to share some of my online buying experience. I might be wrong though. I'm using SAL for PG Strike and Skygrasper.. should be a big parcel.. and is around 24,000 yen.. Meaning the tax i need to pay is the overall prices for my goods plus 15% of it right?!  |

QUOTE(StormV @ May 3 2006, 08:57 PM) u can choose either one. I know we can either choose EMS or SAL but enJiNer says 7 days after order.. hmm.. i wonder what transportation method they use to send goods? I'll guess they're using EMS then..  I purchase gundam kits from hobbyjapan via EMS only need 5 working days where as SAL, already 11 working days i haven't see anything yet.. |

QUOTE(StormV @ May 4 2006, 12:40 PM) oops...solie for misunderstood wut u trying to ask. WALAAUuu.. meaning pos malaysia is so much effecient huh?! SAL, usually took 2-3weeks to arrive. So, just 11 working days is still far too early to start worry. My longest waiting record is 1 month, fastest record is 10 days---SAL. OR did i blame the wrong ppl huh!? (Note: Forgot to mention i'm in SARAWAK!!! meaning further delay of at least one week lor.. )Anyway, thanks for your advise..  Actually, i make my 1st order's transportation via EMS but my last order i thought of using SAL instead.. but somehow HobbyJapan's system just update/give me the last/final option of SAL. It's kind of misunderstanding here.. By right should be.. i) Order one via EMS ii) Order two via SAL.. BUT ended up both Order via SAL....  What a way to send my PG Strike..

Thanks for your advise. I purchase 1 unit Strike Gundam and 1 unit Skygrasper cost more then RM500 boh! Anyway, i pay RM78.50 of 15% of RM500.00..  The custom officer says they'll charge RM500.00 larh.. nevermind! |

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ May 17 2006, 01:11 AM) i wanna ask about the EMS shipment cost? EMS shipment cost is almost like 1 time higher then SAL lol.. is it da same like UPS? i m thinking to get that kabuto already help help so tax will based on price . not on size right the size of the package should be big Of course lah.. it's all depends on how expensive ur item will cost you... like me item below 1k~2k yen will go for SAL and normally item below 1k custom will not charge you lar.. well at least that's in my place here lor.. I would say in malaysia it's base on case to case.. can't say it for all cases! Recently, order SD Gundam from hobbylink japan the custom didn't charge anything.. just ask me to collect the item from counter.. you'll receive one advise letter in white color to collect your item at local post office then that mean's good news lor.. (NO TAX) If you receive one orange card/advice letter then congratulation.. you KENA TAX!!! |

So no need to print out boh..  At least this my case lar.. i purchase from HLJ also..  |

QUOTE(colim98 @ Jul 6 2006, 05:13 AM) u r rite bro....i was the one trying to be smart but actually extremely stupid at the end, cause i just went to double check the HLJ box, got printed the total cost of products on the box too BUT excluded the shipping cost.... No offense bro, my area here the local post office custom charge me RM78.00 for PG Strike Gundam and Skygrasper. One big box.. i think it's kind of no standard tax charge in malaysia. so the point here is, pls keep ur invoice(email or fax) inside ur car just in case needed and get the Customs office to read the total cost which printed on the HLJ box....in my case i can save to pay the 15% tax of 1220yen I think mostly depends on the custom officer on duty lol.. if you're lucky then you get charge a bit lor.. if not ler.. SHIT lor..  Note: PG Strike Gundam -- 14,000 Yen PG Skygrasper -- 5,000 Yen This post has been edited by Sealsmaster: Jul 6 2006, 08:25 PM |

QUOTE(colim98 @ Jul 7 2006, 12:40 AM) no worries bro...just info sharing only Bro, I support you with the 15% tax for toys!! same here.. i still think that there will be some kind of guideline, but i was told by the office is 15% tax for toys, before i went there i also called them up to find out the tax too, the same was told, 5%+10%(forgot wat tax), but in total still 15% tax. |
