I wasn't so lucky. Bought an iPhone 3G from ebay. Waited one week and then got notice from pos malaysia it was detained at customs. I had 3 choices, 1) Self collection(Go SIRIM, get AP, go KLIA, clear it) 2) Get Pos Malaysia to clear it for you for RM50 (Still need AP from SIRIM, fax the document over, they clear it and you collect it from pos office, unless you pay extra then they ship to your house) 3) Assign someone else. I went to SIRIM, and they said it was RM200 for the AP, and they also said no need send it back if for personal use, the warning letter is computer generated. Then waited 1 week for pos malaysia to send a notice and went to the pos office to collect. Even if it was declared gift, the description was cell phone  cry.gif. Paid RM1100 for the phone, RM200 for AP, RM150 for tax+pos malaysia's fee.
