How much is the extra charges on top for buyandship like? Plan to buy like USD 700 of stuffs....
*
It is always based on the size of the package (dimensions) as well as the weight of the package. So I can't really give you any guidance on it.

The last time I spent about USD$1.5k on car parts from the US, the shipping cost for Buyandship was around RM400+

During those time, all PC components were tax exempted.

If based on 2022 Perintah Duti Kastam, still no tax for either import or export.

Any one have experience ordering PC components like CPU, motherboard, RAM etc from Amazon.com US site? Want to upgrade PC and I notice price from Amazon is 30% cheaper than local price, but am worried it will not pass Kastam.

It will definitely pass kastam

You just have to pay tax.

Tax for pc is 5% but you will have to pay 10%, extra 5% goes to the courier who becomes your runner

When I buy stuff from amazon, usually shipped by ups.

Bought plenty of stuff on taobao, shopee, never got tax. They were single item value >RM500 . Bought computer case from Ncase worth RM900 one time ship from Taiwan also no tax.

Only time I got taxed was when I bought 4 copies of games total value >RM400. And the kastam was spot on too, because I did plan to sell some of those games.

sounds pretty reasonable actually, considering its car parts. PC parts are much lighter.

Lol so many misinformation.

Upon checking out, it'll list the total including a "import fees deposit" (if any).

After paying, any extra tax or duties during the shipping Amazon will cover. If less or none, they'll refund to your card.

Any problems or item missing you can return and it'll be covered by Amazon. I've even received my refund without needing to return an item before. Got my money back and kept the item. Probably cost them more to deal with the return.

(This applies to items fulfilled and shipped by Amazon only not third parties sellers on their site)

I just bought a cpu 2 months back during their sales. 0 tax.

Overall cheaper RM500+

Get those shipping and tax included

I bought many things Liao, if more than they collected they pay, if less they refund, I bought car stuffs normally kena tax like fuck but Amazon settle

OR I use forwarder buyandship, they have delivery duty paid option. They settle taxes for you as long you declare honestly, one price only.
