hi guys, sorry but I'm a noob at this sort of thing, and I want to know whether SAL includes registration? I want to order Mr Super Clear Flat and a female Obitsu body from HLJ, and from a few pages in this thread, some people say if you use SAL you will have to pay tax, whereas EMS doesn't require any. Which do you guys think I should use? The total if not including shipping is RM 82, shipping with SAL would be RM 17. If I were to use EMS the shipping would be double the price. Thanks.

QUOTE(deejay220989 @ Jun 3 2008, 07:54 AM) SAL does not include registration, thus you can't track it. SAL or EMS, both also you have to pay tax BUT if you use SAL, the customs have the right to tax you regardless of the total cost of the items, even if its just RM100. If you use EMS, the customs only have the right to tax you if the total cost of the items is more than RM500. Total cost = Item cost + Shipping Cost + Insurance (if you have) I can see that the stuff you wanna order only costs RM82. Why not but more stuff or ask some frends whether they wanna get anything from there? You can share and save shipping cost and use EMS lolz. Unfortunately I cannot really afford to buy more things....and my friends have no interest in this sort of stuff, but I'll try asking around. So they will charge you no matter how cheap your parcel is then? Thanks for replying
