use Poslaju is more than enough, make sure you use bubble wrap. No, as long as you declare the real value they wont blocked from the CD being entered the country because that CD is not porn mah taiko. I ordered for more than 10 CDs at one time from Hong Kong/Malaysia frequently without kena tax. Declare as gift too. In most cases, Poslaju small item or documents will passed to DHL for further delivery to the UK. If you are unlucky, you might ended up with Parcel Force (EMS) from UK RoyalMail (Local Postoffice)

ParcelForce in UK means Poslaju in Malaysia. Maintain by the local Post Office. They have no right to rampas the CD because it is not porn or anything against the UK government. The only thing is the buyer will kena tax only. I normally buy 5-10 of chinese music/movies cds (original) but never kena tax, rampas or kena rampas open every 2 months from Malaysia or Hong Kong. It depends how you declare them. Make sure tick it as gift, best way to avoid taxes and declare the real value of the CD when you buy that time.

that should be fine since it is 1 set of the VCD. it is considered as 1 item but make sure all the stuff is inside the VCD box. if split from the VCD box they will considered you never declare it.

Yup i never got tax even i ordered about 10 pcs of original CD/DVD from hong kong from private seller via EMS (SpeedPost in HK). Declare around HKD300 about 20 pounds (a bit lie anyway haha) but can go thru. Last time i ordered more than HKD1,000 (and declare real value) bulky, kena tax 23 pounds and maybe around 5 pounds service charge for the Parcelforce?. That's why i asked that guy declare the smallest amount as possible and never kena until now.

Well, I never get taxed once, most of my softwares are declared as either gifts or promotional samples and yeah, all shipped by DHL, 100% direct release from customs upon arrival at Bayan Lepas Mas Kargo complex. Haven't tried other couriers before because my supplier has special rates with DHL and it's slightly more than Poslaju so why not, right? At least peace of mind and DHL is a pro when it comes to clearing customs. thumbup.gif

Not a problem lah but don't declare until RM5 lah, if like that, your vcd will sure get stucked at the UK customs and they will derive an estimated amount for it so your friend will end up paying more for the taxes.

Again, what they said is right, bubble wrap, loads of it.

I got my Ubuntu CD via courier by TNT from The Netherlands, it went well.
