Kena held at customs again... goodness I think Penang Mainland Kastam is just a pain overall. Guess this might be my last order until I feel like going through the hassle again.

Oh god, i dont wanna head down to KL for trivial matter like this!!

Edit: status changed at Pos Malaysia tracking as below, at this rate, i'd take paying gst over presenting the certs...

nah you wont have to go KL. Usually they will send over to the state kastam office you're living in, but still! lol... I wonder if I purchase over RM500 and pay gst will I still be asked to go down there to verify all this. Last time I asked the officer why must detain, they told me coz dont have the invoice or amount purchased on the box... so annoying dealing with all this seriously. If they are ok with me presenting the invoice when I go, its still fine but the fact that I gotta bring those product and a paper to some clinic to get it verified and bring it back there again is just too much hassle.

Hopefully that wouldnt be the case for me here...

For extra precaution, I also printed out my bank statement that proved my payment of that particular amount. Coz last time they also tried to cari lubang about the shipping fee then argued with them said the amount paid is already inclusive shipping. Basically they wanted to find ways to make my total order over RM500. So when I proved my payment made is below RM400 they cannot do anything already.

I wonder if I only ordered protein powder this time, do I still need to get it verified at the clinic kesihatan. Purposely didn't purchase creatine and all that for this reason.

Surprising no need to go kk to verify my items, there was a pharmacist there at that time to verify. However the kastam officer in charge was just plain rude. Scolded me for two things. Had to bersabar just coz need his chop to release my items. wonder if I can complain about his attitude. It's not like I bought an illegal item or smuggled drugs! And yes I think northern side are just screwed. Nothing can be done in this case.

If it's over RM500 and need to pay GST I think it would still be detained, as we cannot pay it to myprotein and have to pay to clear it? Eh i thought the verification is for flavouring or other products as pointed by bafukie? Fingers crossed I would only be required to present my proof of purchase and payment.
Oh good tips about the bank statement. I was charged an additional 1% on top of the purchase amount, hopefully it wouldn't add complexion to the my case since it's still right below RM500. By the way, RM500 or RM400 for the threshold, based on your exp?

RM 500 below no gst charges. But take into account the rm500 also includes shipping fees.

Thought I'd give my input on the flavours I've tried. Might be helpful to some of you. Maybe you guys can share your thoughts on the flavours you bought aswell.

Chocolate Mint
- Taste great. Only downside is I bought the big 5kg bag so I got tired of it because I'm not a big chocolate flavour drinks fan, but if you are then you should try this out. The mint to chocolate ratio is very balanced, I was expecting a very slight hint of mint but it's actually not. If I can describe the ratio maybe Andes chocolate mint chocolates but a little sweeter based chocolate as in not the high quality tasting chocolate profile.

Mocha
- Not much coffee flavour as I would prefer but overall I do enjoy it. I normally take my protein with water, but if you have a good blender add some milk & ice and you can have a great treat without realizing it's protein in the first place, like a protein flavoured starbucks mocha. The chocolate is not rich tasting tho but you get the point.

Latte
- Has more coffee flavour compared to mocha but quite sweet for my taste. If you enjoy sweet latte then this might be for you. Reminds me of McCafe latte when sweetened with like 2-3 packs of sugar but ofcoz don't mix your protein with hot water la.

Strawberry cream
- If you liked Dutch lady boxed milk in strawberry flavour or melted strawberry ice cream from Walls or other brands then this taste exactly like that. I do like this flavour but I wouldn't get a huge bag of this coz drinking this everyday might be a little 'jelak'. I bought 1kg to switch up my regular flavours.

Lemon cheesecake
- I H.A.T.E this flavour. Literally cringed at every sip, thank god I bought the sample pack only. I can't put a flavour to this except that it taste like chemical, no lemon flavour but some weird chemical cheese flavour only. Imagine drinking weird chemical milky cheese drink. However I've heard some people describe this as being too 'lemony' so I think this flavour is very inconsistent.

Chocolate Smooth
- Generic chocolate flavour, very blah in my opinion. I probably wont choose this compared to the other flavours like choco mint and mocha. But if you just want a plain old chocolate flavour, then this is decent. The chocolate is not rich tasting just like most protein chocolate flavours.

I'll review more flavours later on when I give it a try. I have summer fruits, chocolate brownie and chocolate peanut butter left to try.

These flavours was tested with 30g scoop of whey with 200ml cold water.

thanks for the chocolate mint input!
wasn't sure whether to try it after this matcha but i guess no harm trying.
really hoping it to be nice chocolately with slightly minty at the end  sweat.gif

the lemon cheesecake i tried was also a sample, really weird but wouldn't mind buying to make protein bars instead of drinking

mocha is a real treat especially with milk  laugh.gif

If u liked mocha then i think u will like choco mint too. I wouldn't say that the mint is very slight at the end, you would taste the mint as soon as it hits your taste buds but overall it's not overpowering to me.

Hey guys, I have 1kg Myprotein Impact Whey Strawberry cream to let go. Used 4-5 servings. Selling coz I found out I cannot consume whey right after trying out this pack.
=( It's delicious if u enjoy strawberry flavour, tastes just like Dutch Lady Strawberry Milk.

Letting go for RM 90. Price online RM 164.
Postage not included. COD within selected areas in Penang Island. PM to arrange. I have photos also.

For postage, the package is already opened so will not be held responsible for any leakage/fallouts. I will cling wrap and seal the top with tape, and bubble wrap for security.

PM to enquire.
