for as long as you DO NOT buy a huge amount of supps, say more than 4 for each of it, like 5 tubs of this and that, and NOW products. Most of the time they will let it pass with a 5% tax. Most of my parcels that got held was because I bought NOW products. No idea why but they just do. Anything else not much. Don't expect to go through with like 20 bottles of some shit, they're gonna think you're smuggling and they will take it away.

Apart from paying a 5% tax (bring your invoice) from time to time, not much to worry.

thanks guys for your feedback, really appreciate it. I think in the past, most of the supplements were not sold in Malaysia, so was hard to convince customs that those were safe or need to have import permit.
but now many Malaysia online stores just copy or even directly import from bb.com, so i think should be safe with customs.

Thanks for your reply smile.gif

I ordered like 8 items but only 1 of each type, i ordered the biggest severing, so that need to order less times & save on shipping.
I order shaker/blender of NOW brand, but i guess that should be safe right?
NOW products usually have good review, but i dont think worth the hussel with customs, thanks for the tips  icon_rolleyes.gif
do you go the customs office near airport to pay the 5% tax ? i hope they will not held anything for me  sweat.gif

I've been buying from BB.com since the day they dont ship to msia, where i needed to do western union transfers and when SHIPPING WAS A HELL LOT CHEAPER. And i was always satisfied until they started to hike up the pricing for the shipping. If you're buying light stuff, it's worth the money, but if you're buying shit that's 5 lbs and all, it's better buying here. Some stuff I still buy at bb.com but most of the time I buy locally.

3 weeks, between 15 to 20 days. It's accurate. I've had at least 10 different shipments that arrived within that period. Usually on the 17th day.
