Just to clarify more.
My google wallet was long time setup. More than 2 years ago. First Purchase is May 2010. I not sure about that time need any address verification.
I did remember correctly that I use US VPN with bogus US address to register.

From below, I got Malaysia address AND Shipito US address..


My steps to purchase Google Nexus 7 are:
1) Add in Shipito US address in my address book.
2) Use US VPN. Got to Google Play shop.
3) Make order. Select US address.
4) Check out using my google wallet.

Hope this clear thing out.

Yet another cheap product goreng'ed to sky high price.

Most of the time, not. It is only an electronic product worth USD199.
Unless you do a bulk order and bring in many, it will looks like you are going to resell it and thus customs may charge you some kind of import duties bla bla I have read this kind of detail somewhere not too long ago but forgot the source and some of the facts too. Anyway just prepare extra money to be safe although IMO you won't be likely charged for it.. This one needs further opinion from other member.

Other way you can ask your freight forwarder to label it as a 'gift'. I'm not sure if Shipito or HopShop allow this but back in the days when I were actively trading at eBay I ask my shipper to do this all the time. This is illegal by the way. I don't really care since the magic word 'gift' somehow can make the custom inspection process faster. When buying from outside, this custom inspection can make your package so long to arrive/deliver if you were unlucky. Sometimes they lazy do the job and just let your package go through, depending on the size of your package.
I once were unfortunate, the package stucked for 1 month. 2 weeks for deliver(which is normal for shipping from china to malaysia using cheap economy postage no tracking code) and 2 weeks for custom inspection only. I even blamed the sender for not shipping lol

Thanks! Now this is sufficient.

Erk.. nope.
The only members here who have made the pre-order is jackdon and mikelanding.
I'm having a little problem with the shipping charge. Wanna see how market develop here first

Got a mail from HopShopGo and my order has been place by the BuyForMe and estimated delivery to Portland US is 19th July. So I give them another 7 days to ship to me.

Added on July 5, 2012, 11:19 amCitibank Visa called me this morning asking if I made a transaction of USD1/= which is validation. Hmmm... I think I made a mistake and use my Amex for this transaction. If I use Citibank Visa it would not have the validation problem I think. Looks like I may not be able to lift the suspension because the verification process requires document with the US HopShopGo address. Oh well ... time to get another gmail account.

Anybody else doing bulk order?

Just roughly 24 hours after the announcement of the Google Nexus 7 was made, pre-orders were open to selected countries.There are reports that the 16GB Nexus 7 tablet is no longer being accepted for pre-order

details here> http://www.mobile88.com/news/read.asp?file...ablet-preorders

nexus 7 spec > http://www.mobile88.com/cellphone/Asus/Asu...s-7/preview.asp

is this for real??? so disappointed

this is just a rumour, and it is still possible to preorder the nexus 7 16GB from google play.

you see the date of the news is jun 28 and many people is preorder it after that date lol

getting this in a bulk from strayato.hirzaki...just in time to be the 2nd last one
RM660

i saw DiGi is posting this product on their FB..not sure they're bringing it in or not though

it would be nice if Digi can bring the Nexus 7 in, but i dont think it would since this is a wifi model.

Normally when they ask means they are getting it in probably they wan to know how many stock they want to take cos before they ask for interest then few days or weeks later they start pre order liao..

Then? Bundle with a MiFi?
Or they just be the retailer here

asus malaysia still no news?

no news

I'm also curious about the taxation issue. I ordered from the Australian Play store. I have an Australian address and credit card (my sister lives in that address currently). I'm not sure about the taxation, but I live in Singapore now (I'm still Malaysian though), and as far as I know, computing products don't get taxed here. Not sure about to Malaysia. Shouldn't have tax, but there's always the risk of some corrupt monkey working in customs making things difficult for you.

The thing that annoys me more is this;


See the "Purchased from" address? I f#@kin live in the same country it's shipping from!! WTF, man!!
Maybe I should call that Asus SG phone number and find out if they can just deliver it straight to me here. They can keep the AU$19.99 shipping money, I just want it delivered faster and don't want to pay for the tablet's "return flight".
