I know of a friend who works in Singapore and occasionally travels to JB. Not exactly a close friend but more like a distant friend. He usually helps with Hifi purchases from Singapore but charges a small fee. Not sure if he would help or you would be willing to pay the fee.

Old thread. I have bought an item from Singapore many years ago via Carousel. Not much of an issue though you need to pay additional fees where the bank will charge extra for the conversation from SGD to MYR, apart from the courier fees. Still, the item was cheaper than buying in Malaysia with all these additional charges included. The item costs more than RM2k and fortunately no tax when going through the customs.

I do found some of the proxy service in reddit but the fee is too damn high. My item only cost $20 but the fees + shipping is more than that. If the fee is reasonable then I'm okay with it. Since I'm in JB, I can also pickup anywhere in JB.

sorry to say this, but you can’t expect the runner to only charge 10% of your item’s value,right?they have to arrange time and everything.

Try putting yourself in their shoes-would you do it for that cheap?

Using cheapest service like citylink also is around $6+ these days

Well if he's around JB, just cross to singapore much better to pick up the item 🙂🇸🇬🇲🇾

maybe he expected it to be easy for the runner to cross over and hand off the package.

imagine if the package had ********something******** in it.

damnnnn, buta buta got arrested for nothing.

$20 is too cheap. You can't find the similar item in Malaysia? The fee he is asking should be higher, I've forgotten, either RM100 or minimum RM200. Anyway you can drop him a message if you like, his number below.

You bought hifi item from Singapore using his service? I always drool at Singapore Carousell so many hifi items there and cheaper rate compared to Malaysia after the currency conversion...
