I've been doing some searching on Lowyat forums, but there isn't a proper serious topic about the MS Band / Band 2, so I apologise in advance if this would be the wrong section to start this in.

Would just like to get a feel from the more knowledgeable users here on what you think would be the best way of getting our hands on the MS Band 2 (since MS Malaysia doesn't have any announced plans on bringing it here). And no, I don't know anyone travelling to/from US/UK in the foreseeable future (if I want to get someone to buy it for me, I'll probably need to wait until May 2016 and that feels like a LONGGG way away ).

I found this on 11street: http://www.11street.my/productdetail/micro...rom-usa-5042261
But not sure how trustworthy the seller is or how 11street's track record is like generally, since most of my online shopping is either through Amazon (Band 2 doesn't ship to Malaysia) or Lazada. Any thoughts? How are other MS enthusiasts in Malaysia getting their gear?

I have the first Microsoft Band, if its available to buy online you can ship it to comGateway, then from comGateway you pay a shipping around $15-25 (can find coupons online up to 50% discount) to send it here.

There is a few things you need to understand when buying stuff like this from US, the price is above RM500 chances you get Custom Tax high, roughly around 12-15%, maybe require for you to apply SIRIM too RM100.

I bought mine way back Nov 2014 for $199+$15 express shipping, USD was still steady 3.2 below RM700 as I remember, 1-2 weeks to reach here with express shipping.

Good luck on your purchase.
