Hi guys will I get taxed for getting in air purifier? Or gst?

IINM, cost over RM300 (include postage) are GST-able, it depends on your luck if kastam manage to find out and hold your items. As for tax, I not too sure, may be SIRIM fees like importing phone?

Hi, I wonder if the default "direct ship" (直运) option in taobao is using SKYNET too (I bought only from 1 vendor, and hence using the 直运 of which the vendor ship directly to warehouse and no further reconsolidate)?

Also, which should be the tracking number for local courier? The one for my purchases or the 中通直运 which cost 33.5RMB?

Thanks.

my item juz shipped from warehouse last wednesday,
then they provide me tracking number
so monday i try track tarak info, tuesday track pun tarak, try contact them in aliwangwang no reply me/offline most of the time

then yesterday see them online 55 ask them , they say my tracking number only can track when item reach malaysia, and previously was shipped out from hk which cant be tracked.

so midnight i track again, my item in malaysia jor,
this morning track again, item out for delivery.

ETA of taobao global direct shipping, 8days


edit:
ive been buying from taobao for long time, previously using 4px to ship, ETA 4-5days.
so can say taobao direct shipping slower.

65daigou mahal bang. 500g caj rm6.50 pastu delivery caj lain. rm8.00 ada pulak agent fees 8%.

I've just checked out the website and the prices seem to be more on the higher end.
Though could do some sourcing there

Yep - still with SkyNet

I waited 3 weeks with no updates n they only update in skynet 1 day before arrive my home

Looks like we experienced the same thing. Last update was 2015-09-10 & ta-da my item arrived in KL

8 weeks? or 8 days?

days. paiseh. edit half no edit half

lol. u nearly scare me to death, i order something last wednesday through the direct shipping, need to get it by end of this month. so far the item arrived at the warehouse in china yesterday (3-4 days), not sure when will they ship out to malaysia.

after the update the tracking become pickup by courier, then u know its shipped la mostly.

Use consolidate and shipping is way way better. 20 days free warehouse keeping.

I got all my stuff in on friday and ordered them to ship on friday. Got my stuff on monday in kl. Paid only rm25 only.

Way way cheaper than any taobao agent. Stop kidding me.
