I was totally like you during the shipping phase (ask corad, he knew how desperate I was)

After receiving the email on the phase update, I waited 5 days before a van (Pos Laju) came up before my house. I was smiling like an idiot, thinking that my laptop was finally delivered to my doorstep.

I quickly signed and waited for the deliveryman to unveil the box containing my laptop. He handed me an envelope instead. 

Unfortunately, my item was retained by the customs, and therefore had several options to reclaim my item. I could either appoint Pos Malaysia as my agent, or, I could go over to KLIA - LCCT to claim it back myself.

After an hour of debating with myself on my next step, I figured I procrastinated enough, screw the waits, I up and went to collect my laptop myself.

The journey was long, and it was well worth all the trouble I had to got through to get this this stage. So relax, it's gonna come to you sooner or later (like I'm the one to say this...)

Got it for RM5.9k, after conversion of course, but my specifications, as previously mentioned, isn't exactly on par with corad's machine, had to shave off on the processor as I had a tight budget going on.

The whole process? Well, first off, you'd have to register an account over at xoticpc. Fill in the all the details accurately. Next, go ahead and add whichever laptop you would like to purchase to your cart, confirm the purchase, and xoticpc would soon send you a confirmation email on this. Remember to purchase via the link corad has provided though.

The first phase would be the order confirmation phase, try to provide as much detail to the people over at xoticpc, they're a bunch of helpful people. Obviously, the subsequent step would be to make the payment via TT. Xoticpc will provide you with all the information you need to go through the bank wiring process, just bring along all the details (ABA routing code, bank name, bank address and whatsoever, be sure to add in the order number to the extra details column).

Xoticpc will soon send you an acknowledgment email regarding the TT. After all that, it's time to lay back and wait for the delivery of your laptop, the people over at Xoticpc will send you a mail when they have shipped your order.

corad is an affiliate of xoticpc as previously mentioned, and the link corad provided will ultimately lead you to xoticpc, so it's the same, except corad would then be able to receive a small slice of commission as it was bought through his link.

Well, from the order shipped phase, it took 4 days for the laptop to arrive in Malaysia (excluding holidays), got it on the 5th day as Pos Laju came only then to deliver the customs letter to me. I went straight to LCCT to collect it as appointing Pos Malaysia will only delay my laptop's arrival and make me worrier, I was anxious, you see.

If you don't want to collect it yourself, you have 2 options left. Get a courier service approved by Malaysia's customs to deliver it from LCCT to your doorstep or, appoint Pos Malaysia to either get it to the nearest post office or straight to your doorstep (which costs quite a lot).

You mean the cash rebate? Well, as long as the buyer buys via a certain method (TT is inclusive) then you get the rebate.

nope. shipping is another USD223. but after that, the total price you'll get a 3% instant discount.

If you want to buy through my affiliate account, you'll get a total of 13% discount. 3% instant, 10% i'll paypal or TT back to you.

Hi there, seems like a bit quiet here? hehe. Anyway confirmed my order together with the payment already. Now waiting for the update status of my lappie.
