Mine arrived in the afternoon, early morning taobao notify me and I check ABX tracking said shipment out for delivery.  I paid consolidate on THRUSDAY morning, received item today. Still reasonable cause there is weekend.

Did you know taobao consolidate got the 五日达, looks like very promising that's why I try it out (abx-consolidate instead of Direct). But how it works, totally no idea!
*
The 五日达 thing is, your items should arrive within 5days after you pay shipping fee. Otherwise you can ask for partial refund of the shipping fee.
I use 4px, paid on thurs morning. Arrived on Monday. But its price is the most exp one.

It is new alipay policy, owner identity must be verified in order to keep money into your wallet and use the wallet. The verification need China IC or bank account if not mistaken.

First time seeing this message, anyone has experience it before? No prohibited items...

"Parcel due to the destination airport routine inspection, resulting in a slight delay in freight time, please be patient."

My items kena tahan and stuck at kastam now. Courier company ask me to pay tax which I think the tax amount is reasonable. But they want me to pay additional fee for EDI charges + handling fee which are more expensive than the tax. So I ask them whether I can go to kastam clear it myself, the answer is NO. They told me not everyone can go kastam and need to has some kind of pass. Anyone can share if has similar experience? Should I just pay the courier company? sad.gif

Aiyo, which courier/consolidate agent did you use?
Also, what's the item and total amount for it? Exceed 1k?
*
the total amount is about RM155++....declared amount for the parcel is USD42++.
Agent PM-ed.

it could be possible that they already paid the custom tax on behalf of you. Have you agreed to let them pay on behalf of you?
you may call the custom to ask.

that edi charge and handling fee is just insane
*
They called me 2 days ago and just told me they will send me email later. Never mention about paying on behalf of me.

QUOTE(windchill @ Feb 23 2017, 05:34 PM)
I also received the similar tracking. So far no further update. No sensitive items, mostly fabric, total amount under RM300. Do u know why your parcel kena tax? Which courier company u use?
*
No idea why kena tax. I heard the staff said kastam all new people.
I just buy all the small small stuffs like pencil case, spec frame, card pouch and etc. No sensitive items too.
Agent PM-ed.

item  + shipping fee = USD42?
since it is duty tax, is your courier company show you the K1 form?
*
Shipping is another RM40++

Not sure what is K1 form, i received total 4 pages of document. The other two: consignment note & "Perfoma invoice" as goods declaration. This is might be the K1 form?

Instead of online shopping market outside, I prefer to shop on local website like 11street and Gemm5, because no issues with delivery and hassle free.
*
I do shopping on lazada and gem5. Taobao has more varieties of choice and price always 20-30% cheaper(include shipping) compare to local website.
Until recently, "ship from overseas" products on lazada offer similar price compare to Taobao.

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.
*
500 tax for 600 purchase?? How they do the calculation? Please share with us.

So far no problem with dex, I did have one item still hold by kastam because apparently there was no invoice. Called abx about this and they should be delivering it this week
*
Did kastam ask u pay tax? Mind to share your total purchasing amount?
