Cantik lah.  biggrin.gif If you can get THAT in the country without paying GST then I guess it's safe to say we don't have to worry about GST anymore. Buying shall commence as usual!

Thefiguremall is a small business run by one guy so I doubt it makes 500K annually to qualify for gst.

Ugh, GSC's Sonico After Party dropped 2000JPY a month after I bought her from Amiami. I predicted that her price will either go up or remain the same because GSC don't usually make cast-off figures.

Would have ordered if it's cast-off. A little surprised it wasn't since it's made by Alphamax.

Wahhh, I really want this because Koto's Kaguya was my very first figure which got me into this hobby.

But the price is too much for a swimsuit figure...

I... pre-ordered an oppai mousepad.

1. What if the value of the parcel was *just barely* above RM500? Like between RM500-RM510? Would it still be flagged?
2. I know one can undervalue parcel to bypass taxing. But are there any real consequences to doing this? I just wanna see from Amiami's POV as to why this can be a crime.

1) Most probably will still be flagged, government not enough money yo.
2) Insurance purposes. If you undervalue your shipment and something happens to it (touch wood), then you can only claim based on the declared value.

Ummm... I'm sorry? I've never had Amiami mistook my choice of international shipping. In fact, even though I have issues with how most Japanese-run webstores handle international shipping, mistaking SAL for EMS (or any other kind of shipping) was never an issue.

Did you perhaps mistakenly selected EMS when the payment request came?

Or, it might be possible that when you initially placed the order you chose SAL, but the total for SAL came up more expensive than EMS (it's possible, yes) so Amiami took the liberty of changing it for you. Although even then before checking out, there should be a page where you can change the shipping method as you like.
*
I chose SAL small packet originally (I don't mind waiting longer for my parcel) to save cost, I estimate it will cost about 1700 JPY from past experience. I did my homework in checking out the box sizes and estimating how much space they will take in a SAL parcel, they should fit nicely. But Amiami told me that it's not eligible for SAL due to the size. So I grudgingly accept that maybe I was wrong in my calculations and picked EMS at 2700 JPY. When the parcel arrived, I facepalmed at how much space was wasted and that my original estimation using a SAL parcel was correct. So I paid extra 1000 JPY for no reason.
