If you taobao for few years, for West Malaysia there are two periods every year really cannot touch or someone must be patient. Unless you are willing to pay expensive commercial rates.

1) During the month of Ramadan --> Unless the parcel reach Malaysia at the early start of Ramadan
2) Somewhere between from Nov 11 until like CNY --> I said somewhere between Nov 11 because if your parcel loaded to airplane like on 11 - 15 Nov or sea shipment can reach Malaysia port like Nov 11. Customs clerance is fast enough.  Then you will be able to escape the sales gimmick Single sales Nov 11. Large amount parcels will start to flood to the couriers. 

After so many years, the same stories are still the same. Our Malaysia companies are still not able to solve this.

I want to buy ssd from taobao china... cost around
rm470 (including shipping fee). Will this impose custom
tax ? Shipping option choose air plane or by ship ? (to avoid
custom tax).
