Is there any recommendation for a reliable forwarded service in US.

Would love to get something, but they don't ship to Malaysia.

some forumers offer this service. can check it out in the service noticeboard.

Thanks.

Hi How about nail polishes? Do you usually have problems with shipping nail polishes from the US?

You need to ship by courier or insured post. Handphone is a high risk lost item thus the insurance will be about 2% - 5% of the face value of the item.
Shipper will need to fill declaration form. You may ask him/her declare as gift but whether it attracts tax or not purely subject to custom inspection.

Hi,

Yeah, I agree! I was so confused about shipping charges, taxes, customs until a fren introduced me to this link.

Are cosmetics taxed? I bought a 50 ml jar of soap from the UK. It costs less than 2 GBP. Seller posted it on 23 April.

Shouldn't I have received it by now? How do you know whether your shipment is held by Customs due to tax?

Item so cheap, and only one jar, impossible kena tax. What sort of postage was used? Unless it's expedited mail, be prepared to wait longer. It's been barely 2 weeks, so if used normal mail it can take about another 2 weeks or more. My parcels from UK (treated like normal mail one, no tracking, not expedited) usually take about 5 weeks to reach me.

Don't need to get pharmacy approval for the Customs, right? Normal Royal Mail International Small Packets. Magazines that I buy off eBay reach me in 10 days. I think my ASOS parcel took 20 days?

Dear esteemed forumers who helped answer so many of our question!

I want to know if there's custom imposed on Diamonds (loose diamonds) or diamond jewelery? and Gold stuff.

Many thanks!!
