hi all, not sure whether i can ask this here or not, for those who sell figure, how much is the postage of pos laju from KL to JB, 1/6 size.

Anyone having issues overwriting credit card information in amiami.com? Now I'm using MayBank master card for overwriting due to expired old card, but it keep saying cannot validate card.
Previously I have added my Public Bank visa card successfully and now I have 3 pre-orders bound with old credit card information. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Can die weh, see this one want see that one want...

But not everyone makes RM10k a month like you, bruh

I have no idea how to make those nendoroid boxes though, i think it involves scanning. I have only made Gunpla boxes.

'always wanted to shoot but never got my hands on"
Hmm, cant think of any really, i think there's just one - Sonsaku Hakufu by Dragon Toy. That one i dunno if im able to import it without being busted by the customs. One boob is exposed. And one more problem is i dont have the budget for her, she is getting rare and expensive. The remaining figures that i want to do photos, they are on preorder. Not yet released.

If there are figures that i wanted but never got my hands on, there are two.
Beatless Lacia by GSC (50,000yen anyone? That's even if u can find one), and Fate Testarossa True Sonic Form - not because I cant find one (I know where to find her), but i dont have the space for her.

Having said that.

Got another "lewd" figure to go with my Ishikei Event Girl. Was especially surprised at customs this time around; only 30 minutes after arriving at KLIA, and it's already on its way to Pusat Mel Nasional. Don't mean to jinx myself, but are you really doing your job, customs officers?

Hi,

do you guys think if i bring this in, whether it will clear customs?

Thanks dis0rd3h, Exiled_Gundam, ProfessorR, and ExKurogane

The cost should be slightly less than RM500 and it will be 12 inches

Anyway this figure would not be sold in general sites and stores and only limited to the Megatrea shop.
I wonder if anybody has bought from them before, and if their shipping record has been ok..

Thanks guys!

Are we charged 6% GST when we import from AmiAmi/HobbySearch? Haven't really bought anything for some time.

So the RM500 rules apply? I ship by SAL not by EMS

hello everyone .. I was wondering how often everyone get taxed when importing figures with total above RM 500 ? I thought of trying for the first time exceeding maybe around 650 total .

I don't know whether Kastam changed policy or anything but despite the general rule to keep things under RM 500, I had a shipment worth almost 25,000 JPY shipped by AmiAmi on Sept 2014 and had no issues.

1) It's not any parcel above RM500 will be stopped 100%. It's like parcels with values <RM500 usually will just pass through customs 90% without the officer even bother to check. While parcels >RM500 will get some attention, officers would screen through the details on the documents, then decide whether or not it's worth their time to open and check. It's about 50/50 chance to get taxed.

2) It's illegal by Japan's law to report false value. Not sure with NipponYasan, maybe their company is not registered under Japan, hence that law doesn't affect them?

Leaving ISIS aside, it's one of those things that are considered norm. Like, "oh, the sky's blue", "the world's still revolving", "Najib's still a d*ckhead", "Oh, Poslaju you incompetent sad excuse of a postal service..."

Just one thing though; if you purchase figures based on its expected market price, then maybe it's time to re-think why you collect in the first place? I began collecting in the first place because Tharja's awesome, and then there's Cordelia, and oh look at all these cute plastic butts... which I branch out to various figures of characters that I like. Of course I sell my figures too, but it's because either I was disappointed in the sculpt, or I no longer like the character. Not because I thought I can sell it for 200% aftermarket. It's terrible financial decision.
Even if you choose to ship when all items are in stock, that's not exactly how they do things. I got the short end of the stick with Toranoana recently, where I placed multiple separate pre-orders, but made sure to choose "予約定期便", which kinda means that instead of shipping out your goods as they are in stock, they'll send out your stuff on delivery day (which is Tuesday) once per week. This led me to believe that as my goods become available they'll just combine everything into one order and ship them out next week. Heck, it's almost common sense.

NOPE. Three pre-orders containing one single light novel each, all shipped separately ON THE SAME DAY, I got THREE different tracking nos, which also meant I had to pay 420 yen for each shipment. Oh, and that 420 yen is a flat rate, meaning it doesn't matter if you have one single thin book or 5 figures in one shipment. I just wasted 840 yen when just combining everything into one shipment would have made much more sense.

I mailed the customer service, behind all the formalities they explained that it was because I placed each order separately; if I wanted everything in one shipment I should've "placed everything in my cart first then only check out". Yeah right, and miss out on buying when the quantity is very limited in the first place?

I seriously have no idea why Japanese-run online store still cannot do mail order properly.

Figures are just fine as long they are not too skimpy or naked which is visible from outside the box itself.
DHL and Fedex parcels go straight to Penang Airport and customs, they skip the KLIA. That alone saves 1 day of shipping time.
All parcels via SAL or EMS headed for the north (Penang and Kedah) go through KLIA customs and then Butterworth customs, hence wasting another day. Usually if your content passes KLIA but is held at Butterworth, it's usually because of taxes being applicable. You cant expect someone from Penang to go down to KL right? I'm not that worried about Matsuri because she is well dressed and the optional parts are wrapped up. My Saeki Ai (which was bared on the top) was also wrapped in opaque plastic material to cover the boobs, but her pose is indeed more questionable than Matsuri lol.

Books are indeed a concern; whether they are opened for inspection or not depends on luck. My medical textbooks were inspected before (from Amazon USA) but i believe it is due to the value of RM700 in total (Books are exempted from taxes). My sister's piano books in a separate shipment were not opened though.
