Amazon US does ship to Malaysia but... bear in mind the risk of damage during shipping. My personal experience in shipping HDDs since 2019:
Domestic Amazon USA shipping + hand carry back to Malaysia: 3x 16TB Seagate Ironwolf = all ok
International Amazon USA shipping to Malaysia: 2x 16TB Seagate Ironwolf = both DOA (dead on arrival)
International Japan shipping to Malaysia: 2x 16TB Seagate Ironwolf = 1 ok, 1 DOA
I believe the drives were damaged during international shipping even with Amazon's usually very good packaging. So beware.
Following this experience, I don't plan on shipping HDDs from overseas anymore. If I get to travel to US for work anytime soon, I would order from Amazon and hand carry back. Otherwise, I would stick to SSDs for international orders.
In the case of DOA, how do you go around with Amazon? do you ship them back at your own expense?Domestic Amazon USA shipping + hand carry back to Malaysia: 3x 16TB Seagate Ironwolf = all ok
