Hi, I'm looking for option for shipping forwarder when purchase from US to ship to Malaysia. Is there any hassle free and reliable forwarder? By hassle free I mean the custom declaration and tax are done and paid first by forwarder then I'll pay them when I choose to ship. I don't want to do custom declaration myself and go to Custom to pay tax if item got tax.

Any opinion would be appreciated.

Thank You

I use buyandship

the no hassle fee per lbs is rm26

The no duty paid is rm22.

Sometimes I use the rm22 if I am sure value is below rm500. Up to you...also if you under declare can kena problem.

I used it at least 10 times over the past 1 year.

The things that makes sense cost less then rm500 including shipping and insurance and less then 5 lbs.

SSD, ram makes sense. Motherboard don't because not is heavier.

ComGateway is pretty reliable. I have used it dozens of time.

Actually, the shipping company they use will pay for the import tax and smoothly bring your package out from custom. You pay them then they deliver.

ComGateway uses DHL.

dont use pos malaysia service ( yes they have a forwarder service from US to Msia)

DONT!

You know the cost by weight right?

It already tells you 1lb =RM22.

Are they charge you more than that?

yup it is expensive... thats why you got to pay attention. I had to sound the TS so he dont make the same mistake(or in my case, I did try to order things that went up to 20 lbs and I paid close to 400 rm for shipping, and I fully declare the value and also got charged some import duty... but it is fully handled by the courier(that time I think is UPS, they use a couple of different local partners when the ship out from Hong Kong.


Also to TS: you basically need to declare the package as you buy it, so no such thing as black box service, you need to let them know what item you bought and it is classified under "home and living" or
"" computers " or "books" or "clothes" " Toys" (I bought lego before...not really worth it, some local lazada sells them for cheaper after I received the item )

I have never bought things with value above USD 300 though. I did check out a couple of lenovo legion notebooks that cost usd1000+++ but never pull the trigger.

(I mostly bought from Amazon)

Oh and the weight is not the weight of the item... it is the weight of item, plus its original packaging, accessories, plus packing material and the external box.... so something that weighs 1 lb will arrive in Hongkong as 1.8lbs.

(I bought some amazon echo dots) you definitely want to factor that in.


Edit: most of the time it is not worth it to buy and ship like this, if you declare honestly like me. the weight, shipping cost will push you over the rm 500 and then your hit with import taxes ect ect.

Somethings can be cheap enough during sales... like the amazon echo dots, I bought during sales only usd 19, = rm 100+shipping rm 40, I think it make sense for me.

Normal price echo dots... not so much.

So do you fill the custom form yourself or they do it for you?

LEL wat kind of milk makes u go to buyandship

LELLL

They do it. but it is base on info you give. and if you false declare --- the question is still coming to you. when the custom open box for spot checks and the things dont match.

Do you need to fill up anything (custom form, etc) when you choose to ship after your package arrive at comGateway? I'm pretty new to buying from US and I don't want any issue with custom or tax (like under declaration or wrong declaration)

You don't have to do anything super specific.

When your items arrive at the ComGateway warehouse, you have to do simple declaration like describing what the product is briefly and it's actual US price.

They do have to open it to inspect.

If your item is dangerous, battery pack, flammable substance, they provide a safe packaging for extra charge. (No weapons and all that of course)

For import to Malaysia, anything above RM 500 will be charged extra import tax. They count the delivery cost together.

So if your item is RM 300 and the delivery cost is RM 100, it falls within the RM 500 range and no extra charge.

If however you exceeded that cost, when clearing custom, DHL will pay the extra tax charges for you, then they will charge you before delivering.

I usually try not to exceed this limit and only buy stuff hard to find in Malaysia.

You can open an account with ComGateway and ask questions with their support, they are pretty responsive. Opening account does not cost any money.

You get 30 days to keep your items at their warehouse. After that they charge you some fee per day.

What's the cheapest way to ship amazon books to Malaysia?

Ok thanks for the info. The item i want to buy is > RM500 so i can expect the extra charge.

Has anyone tried MyUs? Is it better?

Hi Anyone here still uses any service from US to Malaysia?

Based on the above.
1. buyandship
2. ComGateway

Hi i looking this as well,
last time i use shipito, service is so-so, quit expensive, but i can choose aramex to save a-lots of costs. but now 2024, gov already implemented the low good tax, below rm500 u also will get tax.

If the merchant does not ship to business address (buyandship), only ship to residential address, is there any option?

Thought they postpone this?

just use amazon.

Hello.

Is this still the best provider for 2025?

I have not used it in the last couple years.

CARI mamat yang buat ship forwarding kat fb tu

x ingat nama dah

I still using the buyandship. The last I sue is 2 mth ago shipping from Aus.

The shipping time is shorter now. But the price is higher compare last time.

And there is a tax also from custom.
