QUOTE(MalaysiaCan @ Dec 5 2008, 12:40 PM) Guys need help here... what if i buy from amazon ?My friend recommended this service - www.vshub.com A shipping service that consolidate and ship ur stuff bek from US. They also give you a US address for u to shop online in US. So I bought a Garmin - nüvi 205W Portable GPS from Bestbuy.com coz' fren in US says a lot of good deals there now. It's USD 190 = RM 700. My sister buy some Victoria Secret stuff and brother bought some clothes - Polo RL for USD30! So we consolidate and shipped back via that service vshub. It's 5kg and cost us about RM235. We split the charges and there's like 8 items there. Now I scared that I have pay a high price for my Garmin. Coz' we divided by item...my shipping cost is RM30. Total cost of my Garmin 205w is around RM800 coz' got tax... Is it EXPENSIVE?...I need to know in KL can we find a cheaper price? I search ebay is RM1290 for a 205w. If it's true...then it's worth it else I'm a sucker.  http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-205W-4-3-Inch...28647282&sr=1-1 the price is USD 172.12 shipping takes a month (i think) http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/dis...596188&#country shipping cost per shipping = $7.99 per item = 1.99 total USD 187.10 (shipping included) not sure about the tax ... how much is it anyhow? can anyone tell me if i should/should not use amazon (other than the long wait period?) |
