Hi all,

So my pre-order from a reseller on shopee was cancelled a few days ago. However, I managed to secure a pre-order back home in London for the 24th December.

My question is: how much will I be charged to bring it across? I'm trying to work out whether it's financially viable. I absolutely do not want to pay scalpers and so that it is not an option.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Just wait?

There's no reason why u should pay more whn u can just wait and pay retail price in Malaysia.

Yes, I do see your point. It might be FOMO or the fact that I've bought the games without the console and now I'm itching to play it lol

At the moment it's costing me £450 + £58 for delivery (~RM2778). If I can get an estimate of taxes and whatever else I may be charged, I can decide better what to do.

prepare to pay up to 16% taxes on top of your RM2778, that's around RM450

there could be few worst case scenario especially when kastam officer wanna kacau you
one is could be up to 30% taxes they'll charge you
two is they'll insist on a sirim certification, so you might need to get it certified, and that's another story

but if you're lucky? nothing will happen and you'll get your PS5 without any additional charges

i now getting series x from singapore, the kastam there also 2 days le cannot lepas lol. DHL said Kastam in kuching only 1 ppl working, so the clearance very slow now. Not yet until my turn.. but to be safe, i done getting my sirim certification. Sirim not hard. Need to see UK and malaysia wat kind of agreement. My case i read thru PDK 2017, console is 0% duty but 10% SST.

Sounds like it's a risk either way. I'll sleep over it and decide what to do. Thanks for all the help so far!

Just my 2cent wait till 11 december and see if there is any leftover or any scalper with reasonable price.

At least it is malaysian unit and can claim warranty

I bought a ps vita from japan before. Item stuck in customs near klia 2. Went to pick it up and paid about rm 100+ in taxes (10 percent).
