Either COD or Poslaju, depend on how you want to handle. If you are kind enough, you can help to poslaju, of course, buyer will pay the postage fee. If F2F then much easier.

For the tax, the tax invoice will list down the taxed item and amount clearly, so the buyer will pay the taxed amount for their item.
Another payment is the disbursement fee, RM25 which need to pay to UPS as handling fee for the custom clearance if any item got tax. Then the RM25 should be equally divided by those buyer who got tax. UPS will help to handle the tax and pay on behalf and you will pay to the courier boy.

See the previous taxed items and invoices:

Here is my suggestion: (I will PM you the Excel sheet)

You are the host, if they don't agree, don't join.
You decide and set expectation.

Btw, $30 is A lot to me man

Currency rate based on posting date, which is after the fact. Therefore bank cannot tell you the exact currency to be charged before you spend.

Use 3.1 is good enough for now.

just fyi, battery will sure kena tax

Depend in what gear.
Camera and lenses are tax free.

Inside the lens box, the lens will be wrapped with bubble wrap, then there are bubble foam in the cargo box.
So far, i feel secure.

Lens no tax. Bag and memory card maybe.

After the status said custom clearance completed, you can call UPS Malaysia hotline to check. At that time, they will know how much is the tax and disbursement fee, but they don't have the tax details and breakdown.

I will advise you to call the BHPhoto Careline and talk to the customer service to get it sort out. Dont depend on email.
I dont think anyone here can advise on this.

I think Adorama doesn't ship to Malaysia.
Unless you use proxy shipping.

Vpost is going through Singapore then only distribute to malaysia. Therefore tax and gst might imposed.
Please double check.

I got nothing to buy at the moment

All shipping packages are insured, you can double check and confirm with BHPhoto.
Our Admin - goldfries bought a lot of stuffs from BHPhoto, included expensive lenses (>RM10000), you can PM him as well to check.

You need pay the Sales tax.
Each state charges sales tax differently. The tax is not refundable when you leave the country.

Also, when you shop in the US, the price on an item does NOT include sales tax. The tax is added to your total at the till.

UPS World Saver usually take about 3 business days to arrive Malaysia / your door step. Consider fast to me
Battery might get tax but Filter should be ok.

With UPS, they will pay the tax for you then they will collect the $ from you while they deliver the goods to you, COD.
If you are not happy and dont want to pay the tax, then they will send the parcel back to warehouse until you settle with customer or their customer service.

the delay could be due to holiday season too

Depend on the stock you bought, some is international warranty and some are US only or even Grey.
You can see the details on the product itself.

Hey guys, MYR is strong now against USD.
Time to buy buy buy from US
