If more than rm500, different tax ok, and that one won’t show in the app.

You’ll only know how much you’ll get taxed after customs receive the invoice from you.

Can you share what did you want to buy?

I bought a lot of items from taobao/aliexpress, never had any problems, if there were request for refunds pun, no issues.

Now taobao app got in-app english translation

Depends on your/seller chosen courier

Aliexpress’ own standard shipping, 2-4 weeks. Some sellers do offer faster shipping option using fedex/dhl/ups, but obviously more expensive la.

Yeah shipping time is fairly accurate. Just that a couple of months ago there was a global delay in shipments because of some “crackdowns” in China’s airports/ports.

Most tracking numbers are real. Except if layered tracking number is used, i.e., local tracking, international tracking etc, those things sometimes automatically updated, but if not, you could always contact sellers or aliexpress directly.

In the checkout page, if you bought items that cost less than rm500, aliexpress will automatically calculate the LVG tax for you, and that will be included in the total cost you pay. Once customs receive your item, and if they have validated the LVG tax number is correct, then they’ll release the item without contacting you.

If you are buying more than rm500, the tax depends on the amount that will be given to you by the customs, and that amount you yourself will have to settle later. Usually customs will either sms or email you.

If you already paid the tax on aliexpress, wont kena lagi la. This is based on my experience la.
