Sorry, i dont know where to ask so post here. I want to buy modem (~RM800) from Taobao, is that taxable? I search at http://tariff.customs.gov.my/, seems like it is not taxable, am i right? Any of u bought expensive router/modem from taobao before? Need pay for tax/sirim ?

taobao got cheap nightgear M1? cheapest aliexpress is $288 but free shipping

You dont use 直运.

You use some agent like MyBest http://www.mybest.com.my/
Use "sensitive"  channel when shipping.

So far I shipped 2 times Linksys Velop and 1 time Asus AC5300 no problem     

Is that modem considered as sensitive item? And may i know why TGDS is not encouraged?

Yes. Wireless item.

taobao direct shipping some you don't know which courier company they use in local, do you?

Previously bought an wireless modem worth around RM300++, nothing happens. If dnt use TGDS, I can use consolidated shipping right, that 1 can know the local courier used. anyway what is this 经济电商专线? any difference with air freight?

our customs for personal item always hit and miss. better prepare for the worst. if pass fine, if not at least you are prepared.

How do you guys answer usually?

Item RM42 cancelled also no more code replacement?

Samseng Note 9 price spilled via Lazada?

Looks like they took down the listing.

dafuq 5K for 512gb

still cheaper than iPhone X 256GB official price haha but srsly who needs a 512GB phone ? Only if you shoot 4K video everyday lol

rm5k is the new standard for flagship phone now.

talking about crazy, how youngster nowaday buy one i also tak boleh faham.

Yup, it was 28.2k when I check at 6PM, then this 12 PM I check, bang! 29.1k.
Give a programmer first time, they are not ready yet, second time, they are not ready yet.
Third time? Yes, ready.

Unless they do something like Taobao, but just FYI, one of the people that had script claim they can't even fight all the humans that rushing for tickets.
For the first times they sell, I had faced captcha, and bang, network latency killed me.(Taobao APP captcha is a unlock bar like the old iOS, weak network will get you stuck on 3s)

If you wonder, the ticket range from RM 1xx to RM 12xx, with total of 1200 x 2 ticket, finished in 2 second.
So yup, 1000 ticket sold in 1 second, with human, it is even not RM 1!

Second times resell, 1.x seconds, third times, 0.x seconds.(seller detect script and cancel them for resell, that's why so many times.)

Anyways, Taobao JuHuaSuan(聚划算) is full of script, I has tested, 100 x RM 1 items finish in 0.5s, unless you live in China, you can't fight them.

And nope, adding the reCAPTCHA is worst idea ever, it means if you never login to Google, you are blocking them to join this event, as they will be blocked by 10-50 seconds puzzle.
Last time the ubisoft 10 years free game events they added this, and many human posted on Reddit about the reCAPTCHA, and some of them claim they just one tick and done, so I guess this is what's you get for not using Google product.

Back to topic, if XiaoMi give 2 units @ RM1, they will be booo~ by customers, because they required 30k people to follow, not 15k? like Asus.  

Based on the limit of system, I will say that, give a timer voucher that reduce to RM 1 on time for you to order is a better idea, but a timer voucher is desynced, based on the 12 PM voucher that I tested today(click apply on 12 PM, get sucked saying voucher not available on APP, need go back and apply voucher again, maybe not a issues on web that can apply multiple times), so it is not a workaround, at least for lazada.
---
Rethink again, a voucher like LZCIMB22 is a better choice, but based on customer mind, I don't think they will waste time on learning how to apply a voucher like LZCIMB22(there are still many people wonder how did this voucher works) to grab a RM 1 smartphone, while lazada don't want to waste resource on doing/improving this kind of system for just a small rare event.

Maybe using the current Flash Sale system is a better choice then, but it will be a DDOS to the system, that's why it is set at 3 PM, so no DDOS by RM 1 customer + Flash Sale customer.
Yup, marketing sweat time, just like Asus, they also state to release on target reach, but later they just post on Facebook telling everyone about the RM 1 event first, then start the event.

Then just split it into 2 RM 1 event so can extend the marketing.

If you spend RM167 at Lazada on 26/7-31/7 (transaction date), you will get
(1) RM25 (15%) by 31/8 (but normally 20th-24th of the month) AND
(2) RM1.67 (1%) on 25/8, posted on 26/8, but you will see it on 27/8.

So Total RM26.67

I never use CIMB-Lazada to top up Lazada wallet.
If it is accepted for 15% special cashback (promo till 31/12/18), you will get
Before 31/8, 32.88*0.15 = 4.93
On 25/8 (you check at CIMBClicks on 27/8), 32.88*0.01 = 0.32
So your CIMB-Lazada account: -32.88+4.93+0.32

If you are eyeing Lazada wallet promo as well, the promo credit will go to your Lazada wallet, not CIMB-Lazada account.

rm5k is the new standard for flagship phone now.
