Better contact seller back seller. It's been a month so package likely to be in some postman's house. cry.gif
All of us who bring in plastic bricks face this risk. Just make sure you hedge against potential losses.

This is known as the Lego Phenomenon. Shows how far Lego has come along. Almost went bankrupt in mid-2000's when everyone was playing with Mattel and Hasbro toys. Now we cannot get enough Lego and have made them the largest toy company in the world. Give yourselves a big pat on the back! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Too bad cannot buy shares in the Lego company....

Wat book u bought?

If Bookdepository then dont have to worry. Customer service top notch. If never arrive after long time, just send them an email and they will either ask you to wait until a certain date, or they simply issue refund or re-send the book. Same goes with BN, Amazon, etc.

Just got off the phone with Pos Malaysia KLIA... Another pleasant experience!  nod.gif

I have 8 boxes total and 5 were presented to Customs yesterday so this morning checked and tracking status updated to "Parcel at customs at country of destination" so immediately picked up the phone and call Pos Malaysia KLIA. Thankfully the call was picked up immediately but the person I dealt with yesterday in on leave today... No problem, the person I spoke to knows her stuff and she picked up immediately where I left off yesterday with her colleague. I gave her the tracking number of my remaining 3 parcels and she put me on hold for a few minutes while she search for my parcels... Few minutes later she came back to confirm the 3 boxes are at customs, now they have to wait for customs to inspect and after that only Pos Malaysia can give me the reference number for custom clearance.  rclxms.gif

I took the opportunity to ask a little about the customs clearing process and my initial hunch was right! rclxms.gif  Let's say you have 5 boxes and they are all detained at the same time at customs, how many times you get charged RM49.80 handling fee by Pos Malaysia is really up to the customs officer. If the officer is very busy and he manage to only inspect 1 of 5 boxes in the morning then he will issue one custom clearance form and pass it to Pos Malaysia. Then say after lunch he comes back and managed to inspect another 3 more boxes then he issues another form and next morning he inspects the last box and issues another form to Pos Malaysia. So in total there will be 3 customs clearance forms (for 1 box in the morning, 3 boxes after lunch and another box the following day) and Pos Malaysia will charge 3x RM49.80 because they were given three forms by customs.

So I was right about Pos Malaysia being a facilitator in this process, they have absolutely no control over customs. If you are really lucky and the officer inspects everything at one go then there will only be one form and you only need to pay RM49.80.

I forgot to ask another question and that is regarding "high value" imports, last shipment I had to pay additional charges because the value is above certain amount and there is an additional form to submit/declare... Additional cost there if kena this clause...

Well, I hope this is helpful to everyone importing their Legos and getting stuck at customs. icon_rolleyes.gif

In closing I wish to praise once again the professional staff at Pos Malaysia KLIA (Customs Affairs Unit). They don't have a nice big office to work in, in fact it is next to the toilets. So far my dealings with them have always been pleasant and they are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you! thumbup.gif

Very useful info. This should go onto the 1st page FAQ.

Just curious how much was your "high value" import that got "VIP" treatment. So far I never kena, so you have my utmost respect o-sifu-of-importers! notworthy.gif

just to note klodsland.dk minimum shipping cost is DKK400 ~ RM215
valid for 0-5kg so need to buy more sets...
I think 3 sets of Olivia house might able to get under 5kg, then ship here the cost is around rm220-230 net which is quite a good deal.

It looks like many ppl will be importing from Denmark. Could this be Lego's own bricklink shop to sell rejects from factory or sets that have been returned by customers? tongue.gif

Just be mindful that your shipment may be detained by customs and taxed 10% plus RM50 to Pos Malaysia for processing Clearance. So there could be hidden costs depending on your luck.

Yea so many new releases coming up but bullets does not seem to increase. I conclude that Lego collectors/enthusiast has 2 major problems. Bullets and space. unsure.gif

I'm also not good at picit picit. Moreover I feel embarrassed standing there molesting the packet in public, if I'm a kid I don't mind but I'm old already la... doh.gif lol!

So I tried picit picit at home with my box of 60 packets thinking at the comfort of my home I can take my time and slowly feel it... I ran out of patience and gave up! doh.gif

So now I just buy complete box of 60, no need to stress! whistling.gif
I have one rule for my daughter, either play on her round Ikea table or her room study table. No building all over the floor. With Duplos I'm ok for her to play on the floor as they are too large to play comfortably on the round Ikea table but not the regular Lego...

You may not know it but you will learn to picit someday when you need to sort out your CMF boxes. Unless you have x-ray machine at home. laugh.gif

Yeah, it's not really worth it's weight in gold.... unless that's a real diamond at the end of his cane. Some more the hype and desire to be among the first to own and show off Mr Gold is driving the price up to crazy levels. I think I'll just spray the Ringmaster CMF gold and find him a cane accessory. My wife and kids won't know the difference! laugh.gif

Don't get so down on yourself. It's part of life, gaining experience in relationships to prepare yourself for when Miss Right comes long. When that happens you sure forgot about Lego and enter so-called "Dark Ages".... until you have little kids and take them shopping for toys and ... that's the circle of life! biggrin.gif

I think better to get instructions (if can find) and build using your own spare brick from Creator sets. I see lots of reds. Anyone gonna try?
