My experiences were all good. Probably I've never expected too much. I chose the cheapest among all, DEX-Abx. They have only 1 flight per week which is on Saturday. If I consolidate my purchase on Friday and made the payment by then, I usually will get the parcel on Mon/Tues.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!

bad news everyone.

Kastam Malaysia has started cracking down on all shipment from Taobao, agents have to pay more duit kopi and those who are purchasing using Global Direct Shipping will now be subject to high scrutiny and inspection.

At all costs, keep your purchase BELOW RM200 to be safe.

Not just an Airpak-4PX issue, global direct also the same, not sure of Prouter yet.
**Just because the total charges is less than RM500 with shipping, doesn't mean they won't tax you for duty. I myself am now facing RM500 tax for RM600 purchase. Government getting very poor

Thx.

Guys, I've experienced twice order being canceled and money refunded back to my bank account at a loss after exchange rate and banking fee. Is there anything I can do to get compensated?

Hi guys, just a quick question.
Are your packages registered as in you're able to track your orders?

Generally can track, if there is really no tracking number given can initiate chat with the customer service to ask for it.

Pretty sure this is bullshit

How would you kena RM500 tax on a 600ringgit parcel?

At most it's at 6% for import tax, and perhaps f you have some duty chargeable items then another 15%-20%. 500 Ringgit over 600 is 83% tax.

Even if you got taxed so much, a receipt from Taobao to prove your parcel value is 600rm is enough to bring the charges down.

Indeed Kastam is very strict recently but not this crazy

I like shopping in Chinese online stores a lot. Which delivery do you usually use and can recommend to me? I need a possibility of order tracking and it should also be pretty fast. I would appreciate your help, guys smile.gif

Does it have similar features to 350 mini?

https://youtu.be/FuAwyOuYfZo

Especially the one that alerts you when car in the front is moving/lane alert
So when parked, the dashcam is still on and able to record any motion?
Do all those work well with our roads here in msia?
Comes with optional language or stuck to chinese only?

Hmm...
Alert when the car in front starts moving: yes
Speed limit signboard detection: yes
Still on and record when parked: the dash can has the feature but I didn't buy the cable required so it is not working for me
Language: I am using English as the language for the dashcam

When it gives alerts, does it give sounds or just visual warning on the lcd screen?
I also notice external gps only not built in
Don't see the shop selling 350 mini

Added video recording in my previous reply

For the alert, it is beep sound together with the visual display.
It will beep once for speed limit and display the speedlimit according to the signboard on the dashcam for a few seconds
For stop and go traffic, it will beep twice and display a traffic light logo

Yup GPS is only external that's why it is saying no GPS in my video.
