Cheaper to get it from Japan but shipping and tax much higher... People who sell stuff like that locally normally ship it in bulk using a freight container via sea cargo which has advantages and disadvantages
Pros:
1. Cheaper shipping
2. Cheaper tax
Hence cheaper the price
Cons:
1. Long transit/shipping time
More often than not people who check prices for aftermarket parts sold by stores locally think about the local price of the item in Japan only.. They do not think about the other costs involved bringing in the item to Malaysia
@jajapan is right.. buy the item where it is much suitable/cheaper
You can still choose where you want to buy, if you really want the item and have money to buy it then do so and buy directly but if you really want to save money then better buy locally.
I only buy car parts directly from Japan if I know I can't buy them locally
Basically it is good to buy things that are only available in Japan. Pros:
1. Cheaper shipping
2. Cheaper tax
Hence cheaper the price
Cons:
1. Long transit/shipping time
