Definitely due to shipping and the fact that the local retailers have to hold stock.

It's about competition (lack of it in Malaysia) and buying power (lack of it among Malaysians). Local retailers have to keep stock and since fewer people buy it in Malaysia they want to get as much profit as possible for each item hence the super high prices.
For some items people buy straight from the US and ship it to Malaysia. Amazon shipping charges are actually quite reasonable so stuff like that GTX980 can be 10-20% cheaper even after shipping and high USD-RM forex rates. GoPro batteries can't be shipped though, something about LiON batteries burning up in planes so you're stuck with buying local. If you find GoPro batteries for RM300 you're not looking hard enough, it's much cheaper than that. |

Lazada now discount from RM300 to RM250. still expensive. Ya. Amazon dont deliver to Malaysia not even battery. but the bag, memory card. etc. weird.For some items people buy straight from the US and ship it to Malaysia.

I'm not sure what you're doing but at least the memory cards (I tried Sandisk and Lexar) both ship to Malaysia. One Sandisk Extreme even with shipping is about 7-8% cheaper than LYP prices, if you go to the more expensive ones or you buy more than one it's much much cheaper than buying here in LYP.The bag go buy locally lah. |

has anyone trying buying from amazon.com? because i find it cheaper than to buy from shops though. yes, i include shipping already if you're asking. but I'm not whether it will get taxed when it arrive in Malaysia.
