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.

you can pass customs, just pay the sales tax here nia when kena hold

Expensive. Dont forget import tax duty.

In the end , end up almost same price as Malaysia

30% cheeper later pass kastam kena tax lppl

kan? best way still just grab a mule to bring the parts back nia

they calculate all in (inc. tax). so no worry.

effective 1st Jan 2023, all <RM 500 goods will be tax.
and also, u havent go thru checkout page.

Tranportation Door to Door service,warranty. end up u get here better.

I have been buying SSDs and RAM from Amazon US/UK throughout the year without kena.

Lead time ~ 2 weeks though if you can wait.

Can PM me I share you the parcel forwarder link..

still cheaper in some cases. new GPU is 300++ cheaper than local price. u say ler?

PM plz, want buy subwoofer

300++ cheaper, good luck with warranty.

warranty over, but local unit/reputable vendor/local distributor still layan u.
u got oversea unit, good luck

woi woi apa mule

kau seledup dada ke apa

inb4 isap dada

as in if got friends over in states kambek or travelling there

i usually get my friends to bring back US whiskeys this way

Just pay the sky rocketed price to custom

ordered a water-cooled 1080gti before from states... no issues...

Yup, purchased many stuff before. But I used a freight forwarder service (Buyandship.com.my) instead of direct shipping.

Means, Amazon US -> B&S US address -> HK -> MY doorstep

exactly

some Taiwan & HK sellers for pc parts on lasapda can be cheaper, some stuff are valid for international warranty.

also this

You stupid

You stupid

You stupid
You stupid

You stupid

You pandai

which one cheap?

RM300 cheaper? LOL, not worth the risk. U just need 1 thing to go wrong, the time and effort wasted will be worth more than 300. Now GPU already so cheap, no need to waste time buy from Amazon.

u look at the price, wah pandai. u forgot one thing crucial. WARRANTY!!!!!!


bangang

Can pass. Keep it below RM500/part.

You bodoh for saying need import duty when you don't know

Don't be stupid ok

Provided Anwar change budget. That was zafool budget.

Wow so pandai
You work in custom before?

Even they are cheap if something wrong happened, claiming warranty will be bitch.

Nope u r wrong.

Bought from taobao.
A silver braided 8 core audio cable.
Doesn't work well.
Want return cannot.

But kudos to the store.
Give me another unit

I thought amazon cover all for u if taobao i dunno la. Buying stuffs from amazon us they send usually dhl no problem be4

boughted my 5800X during peak of shortage.
no problem.
perhaps warranty is your bigger problem.


if got tax, just pay kastam.
but i think PC component are not taxed.

I think. I dont know.

import tax, import permit dont forget yo, need to submit the spec sheet if being asked.

Unless you don't skim door 2 door.
And if u avoid insurance, in between lost Amazon also won't garantee refund.
Within US still safest
Outside of US a bit risk, especially warranty

wrong.....?? balik cave bro

my taobao account spent over 250k rmb

80% electronic. 70% used condition, 99% no problem

kastam sure past, but need to pay duty.

even pc parts not in the takrif.. they also buta tax jer.

Kena b4 when bought SSD

This year opposite making noise about this tax. Just wait and see if Anwar reverse it.

I buy so many times from Amazon no issue.

Bodoh. Nowadays Amazon already in Malaysia but through Singapore. Taxation already counted in like Lazada and Shopee. Buying from Amazon.sg is same like buying from Lazada.

ok yeah its definitely more than RM 500 lol. i guess i have to buy local to be safe.

hmm i see so definitely not worth the savings for the risk i guess. was buying about USD 700 of parts (local price is like RM 4K) so i thought can try try....

they got charged it when u pay ald, how can skim
if ur item estimated tax charged is 0 then need to worry lo

How much is the extra charges on top for buyandship like? Plan to buy like USD 700 of stuffs....

Have you return item before?

it depends actually, some other merchants like Newegg or others have special discounted price on festive seasons.

Just add on 20% on top of the tax to be safe.

Recently I bought GPU and it's taxed. Just pray kastam don't inspect your items.

PS: to those who said LZD cheaper just be my guest and buy who stopping u buy from locals

I bought using buyandship. It exceeded RM500. I think RM3k also no tax. Choose the option for buyandship to pay your premium for you..I think skynet.

kurogane if price cheaper like 40 to almost 50% just get it.

The only hassle is warranty. Some items have international warranty but it would take more time/efforts to RMA.

From my experience, non of my Amazon and other imported gadgets have problems so far (touch wood).
I also using buyandship services to import my stuff.

Nah not that cheap, its about 20-30% savings if i follow checkout price (incl shipping + tax deposit). But it is about RM 500 saved so I was considering whether to take the risk or not.

Might consider using buyandship to be safe too.

RM500 I think can consider.

But try make judgement if (touch wood) for RMA purposes + tax can save the RM500.

May I know what parts?

Basically CPU + Mobo, got bundle deal on Amazon right now. Mostly savings on the mobo part because similar type of mobo is like double the price here right now.

Can try kot, another way is to declare less than the actual items and pray kastam wouldn't bat an eye.

Thanks for the advice. Will consider it further!

u got try wish.com?

lulz...u ingat quality like make from china meh/ship via taochibaibao ah?

Headache later have to pay custom tax and apply sirim

Not to mention no local warranty. And Shipping dmg

This post has been edited by sagethesausage: Dec 20 2022, 07:29 PM

apply sirim usually on communication items like phone.

PC parts so far didn't kena from that.

Also sirim just send spec sheets and pay online jer. get the slip then past back to appointed agent to Kastam for release.

too expensive to return.


twice i kena....

1) R9-290 4GB used , ( 30% below local used market price )
- can bot, cannot play game..... RAM issue..

2) MG Gundam..... direct missing....



overall... i dont care about return.

last time i resell Used laptop from taboto to local market, RM1100 cost (shipping included), can easily resell @ RM1500~1600
sold about 30 units, none have problem. all Dell Latitude E7450


the good thing about taobao = Kastam already "kaodim"
not the official Taobao forwarder. 3rd party 1.

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+

Used to buy a lot from Amazon & US Ebay last time.
During those time, all PC components were tax exempted.
Not sure whether now got tax

goddamn, can the new government put a stop to this nonsense

in fact,we should be INCREASING the threshold to RM 3000.00 for goods bought under personal or received as gift

why first world countries always get it right but Malaysia regressing all the time

Our country is poor.

as long as we don't mimic first world and prepare for it, we will never get there.

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

all headers under 8471 has 5% SST

good, will pass, warranty also good

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.

Plus waited for extra weeks or months lol

hmmmmmmm i plan to get Moondrop from taobao, so can kaotim also xD?

3rd party forwarder can even gaotim flammable.


last time i buy alot Gunpla item ( paint, thinner, all flammable )

Pandai pandai use parcel forwarders la.. ram n ssd still ok, cos they last n nt expensive

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+

Only bought CPU? What about buying mobo etc?

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.
