6%. plus rm40-50 processing fees.

if you nominate poslaju, it will be another rm40 on top of that.


make a trip to PosMalaysia hub in KLIA early in the morning. around 8. you'll be first in line. but the process is a little stupid. from counter 2, u need to go counter 3, then to counter 1, then counter 4, then back to counter 2...... in the end i lost count. just follow their instructions


p/s. i don't know what you ordered, until you reveal it in here.

hence cheaper to nominate poslaju.
rm40 is cheaper than toll + petrol + time + brain cells wasted there

but but but.... i can't stand another day knowing that my watch is there... and i'm are here...without the watch

Must go by myself? Or can ask friend help collect on behalf?

I'm not sure about that. For normal poslaju scenario. You can write your friends name on the slip. Together with your name and signature. I don't remember if that notice you got has that column.

Anyway, thanks Everdying and Naka7a for your help and advise. Much appreciated!!

GST thing putting me off from ordering from rakuten...

I bought from skywatches last month. They sent via fedex... No kena GST...

Skywatches incl tax in the bill now.

Even my friend says that. i bought it because it looks like japan flag.
Here's my another watch bought when i was in japan. Gotten it from Gotenba Premium Outlet.

Just back from customs and share some info here. According to the officer, previously watches are non-dutiable goods, but after implementation of GST since 1-April-2015, any parcel over RM500 will get 6% tax.

If goods price below RM1k, pay only "goods price X 6%".
If goods price over RM1k, need to pay "goods price X 6% + ~RM50 (declare form fee)"

P/S: This week exchange rate USD1 = RM3.78

nice.
guess my only potential watch purchase in july may be put on hold now unless i travel down to singapore...which is actually cheaper to do...hmm.

but with weak RM

after calculating GST etc, to self-collect the price is around rm300 cheaper.
maybe should time it for bon jovi concert in september there also

Hehe, not bad for a short vacation.
Some VAT refund also I presumed.

VAT?
i cheap la, take aeroline bus only...so near my house.
why want waste time go airport etc, just to save 1hr of travel time

Should have left a note to seiya asking him to declare the parcel worth under rm50. Or a sample.

customs not stupid.
u do that, later they see its a watch and charge u GST of the full retail price.

Haha. That's what maranez did. But that was pre gst purchase..

anyone know what is the model number for this watch?
