I checked the Kingston KC3000, its 50% more expensive in Amazon SG and around the same price in Amazon US (compared to shopee)

I purchased a number of stuff from them recently, I like how fast those items arrive!

yes because Amazon and Malaysia government strike a deal in taxation where they do high speed release
It's like buying from Lazada overseas seller.

Careful
Storage drives are one of those parts that is so easy to get scammed on.

Ayam wanted to buy SSD and ayam found out Malaysia sells SSD more expensive than SG.

See this
https://shopee.com.my/Western-Digital-WD_Bl...b8-d3379177b8ff

vs this
https://www.amazon.sg/WD_BLACK-SN770-Intern...246&sr=8-5&th=1

Amazon SG delivers to Malaysia, I cannot believe Amazon is cheaper than Shopee/Lazada.

Any tips on buying from Amazon SG?

Sekian.

been buying SSD from Amazon for years and years. US amazonn. and they pre-collect import duty and yahudi shipping. But import duty they have been refundinng me after half a year or so...

Seems like UPS is the one that collect on behalf, and they process the import duty eventually under computer or some import code that is duty free.
