Hikaru, to what I know, tripods are taxable.

Yes, Goldfries is right. Tripod is taxable goods, even the charger is also taxable. Some more the shipping for Tripod is very high.
I will not advise you to join this group buy.
ALright, that's fine.
Just thought I'd save on shipping with you guys.
Don't really care much about the taxes - even with taxes (say, 100% tax) it's still cheaper than getting it locally.
Gorillapod Hybrid is RM250 locally.. it's RM90 converted excluding shipping
I've heard good things about the Pearstone charger.. RM60 converted.
And that tripod was RM40.
Granted shipping would probably add up to RM100 for the 3 items, and in fact if I ship it solo it'll be RM150. Again, add even 100% tax and it's STILL cheaper to get it through B&H.
I understand though, so it's alright. I'll just order it myself.
Thanks anyway.
