Hey guys, i just want to share my experience buying from HLJ recently. I can say, it is quite a bad experience

This is my second time buying a gundam and I try to find cheapest place to buy it. Unluckily, I thought HLJ is the best. Here is the thing.

This is my first time buying from oversea. So many hassle, create paypal and everything, every time I made a transaction, they took like RM4 for service charge.

I bought a Full Armor Unicorn Gundam which cost RM200 at HLJ where at local I find the cheapest is RM280. (WOW I saved RM80!) but I was wrong.

The shipment cost from HLJ is based on the parcel weight, the bigger the parcel, the higher the shipment cost. Then after adding with shipment cost and transaction with paypal everything, total WAS RM280+ =.=' (which was the same as buy at local, even MORE)

And now my parcel is hold at custom for godsake. I live at malacca and I have to go pickup at KLIA? Are you kidding?? My parcel is not even exceed RM500 and they hold it also? What forrrrrrrr... Im so angry with myself and to those custom right now.

Custom will send you mail saying that your item is held by them. They give you several choices,

1. Pick it up yourself and pay the tax if taxed. (people who live near the airport can be considered lucky, you can negotiate and sometime not taxed, people do say they will ask you to open the parcel and some questions)
2. Hired an agent from PosLaju for RM49+. He will go take it for you. Tax and sending to door not included. (meaning you still need to pay tax if taxed and if you want them to sent it to your front door, youll be charged differently.)
3. Hired somebody else. Need to fill name and everything. (A friend who can help you take it)

You only have 21 days from the day the mail is created to take your parcel or they will send it back.

=.='

See the hassle I have to go through?

My tips are:

1. Support local store. Online store is cheaper no hassle.
2. If you still want to buy oversea, make sure it is not military based, weapons, tanks, or anything sort. You are looking for trouble. If you are lucky, that is a different story.
