The invoice you need to have someone in US to help. Amazon/DHL won't help you on this.

The Flow.

1. Buy from Amazon - Free Shipping to member in US
2. Member in US swap Amazon invoices with reduced value.
3. Member in US ship the stuff to you in Msia
4. No Tax!!!

Yeah, I paid Kettam Post Office warehouse a visit at LCCT yesterday, to clear some of my items. Managed to peek inside their warehouse while waiting for my boxes, they have a rack about 10 feet high full of amazon.com boxes.

Better ask StarScream to help.

Wah this is nice lah. Too bad no frens in US. Got relative in OZ but OZ different region

But i got fren in UK, same thing applies right? hehehe.

How many Blu-Ray disc can one bring back from overseas? I've got relative in UK, say i ask them buy, when they come back kena tax or not? Say if bring back around 10 - 20 BDs?

fuyo...mega, don't drag me in...my item (TOUCH WOOD) never kena ketam kepit b4...don't curse me ok?

For HSBC card holder there is another options to evade tax.

By using the Vpost service. www.vpostasia.com/malaysia

1. Buy from Amazon and use free shipping to VPost in USA
2. Photochopped the Amazon invoice with reduced value and mail it to VPost
3. Upon arrival at VPost, pay the shipping cost.
4. Vpost will send to our address in Malaysia using the reduced value.

I have use this a couple of times with 10-20 BDs and the shipping varies from RM10-15 per BDs. This is cheap since you can track the delivery all the way from Amazon to your house. However its not cheap if u use it to buy 1-2 only. 10-20 BDs to achieve the best rate.

Time it takes is 2-3 weeks. But its worth it for the hassle free and tax free.

1 more thing, I usually order 1 title per shipment, eg would not do bulk. 10 copies of same title. Because the boxes are opened by customs and if they see multiple copies of same title they would think some hanky panky is going on i.e. doing business. I usually ordered 10 different titles and when the custom ask (never happens yet, but still careful) I told them its for my own use lah.

The post box is in a room next to the guard...but then anyone can go in there...


Another one got their BD package from Amazon UK today... ...mine shipped on the 6th..maybe there still hope

Brother corez, wanna find out from you what is the shipping cost for VPost from US to MY?

Normally shipping costs divided into 0.5kg, 1kg etc rite? How to maximise it leh? Meaning if wan value for money, how many BDs shud be in 1 shipment leh? Since now Tax issue is somehow solved, shipping cost is also an issue leh hehe.

Somehow US still gives better BD packages. UK don have Coppola Restoration Godfather, Ultimate Matrix Collection and NO KILL BILL . Only thing planet earth 1 more extra disc than US version kekeke
