If phone is held by custom prepare to pay rm106 for Sirim permit and another 6% GST based on declared phone value
You need to apply Sirim yourself n pay the GST to courier
All can be easily done online

buying from aliexpress etc. wi'l cost around usd 525_600 about rm2k and if you top it about rm400 will give you s7 with local warranty.

thats why i really have to think hard whether going to get this mi5 or not. although s7 is so so good its just boring..

On aliexpress i found mi 5 64gb black + accessories which is $440 and with DHL courier it takes $12 for 7 day shipping to msia.. it will be around rm1.7k and i never seen any local website has 64gb black with around same price.. they may declare lower price on the courier but its a risk.. buying s7 is another option but its near to a laptop price range

What is the risk ? Dun have tracking no ?

I think if u under declare something, it goes missing then can't claim from courier company or very little.

But DHL is good courier...

Oppomart sell at USD469 for black 64gb

The restrict data usage control, the most favourable feature for me... other than that is lock app... that's all...
I do hope their new MIUI is better, less bloatware which hogs 1.5GB of ram on startup...

Not sure if you're still wondering..
I previously brought Redmi Note 3 directly from Taobao. Through this courier. Pay extra RM25(standard fee la) to declare as sensitive item. Than they will settle for you. At the same time, you can purchase as much sensitive item u suka, but pandai pandai la..

Once item receive, I saw they declare as phone accesories <RM500 so no kena GST. That time I also purchase power bank, mouse + keyboard.

Usd469 is ard rm1876. Plus sirim rm106, 6%gst= around rm2090. Lelong 64gb only rm1949 less worry and ap warranty

4px, prouter? Also very risky if missing cause wrongly declare. But at least rmn3 less than 1k item.

True. Online deal will have risk no matter what, cause we can't touch the product our self. My total purchase that time is around 1k plus la.

Of course get Samsung. Got expandable micro SD.

Yes, however coming from OPO with 64g, i think its adequate. However, I am thinking of future proof (1-2yrs max) and will be going for 128g preferably the black ceramic one. If cheap enough then i will take the white glass version (which is cheaper but no ceramic currently USD489 at ibuyyou vs USD525 for black).



If future proof need 4gb Ram

If lelong got then buy there better... Since price not much diff

My usual allowable profit is RM100-200, so if the price difference is so much RM500++ (as of now) then I will not consider.

China scalper takes 10%, local kastam takes RM106 and another 6% GST of the declare value, and then here seller takes 10%, how possible RM100~200 profits. You tell me.

Understnd.. but with low production rate and high demand it is the 'scalpers market' right now. Unless local seller has accsss to Xioami then we have to keep on paying. Sad indeed
