Alright, but will the package just be sent to me once everything is determined to be okay, or will I have to do anything else?

Assuming
1. custom clearance is smooth
2. ur package doesn't go MIA somewhere,

you just need to wait for your package to be delivered to your doorstep.

for the 1st first time, my parcel has been detained by the custom.

appointed poslaju to settle it. no need to pay the tax but need to pay poslaju rm49.80 for their service charge.

inside the parcel, got a warning letter stated "kosmetik hanya dibenarkan untuk satu bulan penggunaan sahaja, next shipment we will detain your item".

anyone has experienced this before? sad.gif

I need some help/advice. I ordered some t-shirts from Threadless back in June and i've yet to receive my parcel. The delivery that they used is DHL International Standard and apparently no tracking number is provided for this type of delivery.

Anyone know to whom I should ask to enquire about the status of my delivery? I assume that the parcel has arrived in malaysia but for some reason it's not reaching me. Can someone help me? It's my first time ordering stuff from overseas. sad.gif

June is a bit too long for international transit from US to MY (assuming the parcel is posted out from US).
It might be a bit late, but there's no harm trying to call DHL up to ask about the status.

Yes, I've thought about calling them before; real life intervene a lot of times to the point of me forgetting about the parcel until recently. The thing is I wasn't given any tracking number for the parcel, only shipping number. How do I bring the subject matter to their attention without any tracking number?

If there's no tracking number, it probably means it's not trackable.
I suppose you can try to call them and give them your shipping number, see if they have any records about your stuff.
But i would say don't put too much hope since it's nearly 4 months ady.

need help here, my housemate just ordered some protein, supplements, vitamin, fat burner and creatine from bodybuilding.com a week ago... he choose DHLSuper Saver (8-20 Business Days)

if it got detained by custom next week or next 20 days, what should he do to release his item? can he just ask DHL for helping him as an agent to release his item?

thx

HI!

I have bought countless supplements, vitamins ,etc from USA without much hassle from customs.
Dont worry, they are a reasonable lot!

Alternatively, you can email me at kulshopper@gmail.com
Good luck!

I got a parcel of skincare/cosmetic products from Korea, it's for my personal use but i guess the no of items are alot (group purchase with my friends)

Checked some of the previous comments here and says that powder form of cosmetic product are not taxable?

what about those toners and bb cream?

what's the tax rate, does anyone here know?

What would be the better option to claim back the parcel? by myself or appoint POS Malaysia as agent?

please advise, many thanks in advance!

The price is rm660.. The customs tax me rm350+50 ringgit for poslaju fee's.. How ridiculous isit? 60-70% tax on automobile accessories?
