Fedex only $362.84? Better take that instead as they normally settle everything for you and deliver to your doorstep hmm.gif

But if I ship via fedex, then I guess i have to pay full tax since they will pay the tax and collect form me. But if I ship to airport to collect my self, then I think i can "negotiate" the tax with the relevant authority tongue.gif Maybe htkaki can enlighten us on whether we can "negotiate the tax". Anyway, my house is only 5 mins from the miri airport.

If miri airport, then similiar to my quote.  Can order again. MY svs is now in KL.

I thought you order yours door to door for USD300+? You mean you want to order again...this time for the Plus?

QUOTE(htkaki @ Jun 24 2009, 01:53 PM)
I paid full tax for it even it is D2A. I thought I have posted it before  sweat.gif 

Apart from tax, you need to pay processing and documentation fees to logistic co. Abt RM153. Then, with all the documents, you need to go to Custom Building. Go to a section called 'Dagang Net'. Here, you need to fill up a form and declare under tariff code : 851821000 which is for speaker. Here, you need to pay abt RM22+ (4got the amt).

This dept will calculate the amt of tax that you need to pay. Invoice and other documents need to be given to them. Then, they ll print out a tax document.

With this, you need to go to Custom Counter and look for an officer. They will check again and sign on the tax form. After that, you need to go to the counter to pay. I wonder how you can 'negotiate'. Maybe Miri is different or unless you knew someone. I prefer paying it as I do not want any trouble since they have all the details sweat.gif 

After paying it, they will give you a copy of it. While exit checkpoint, you need to show the copy and your item for verification. If you declare incorrectly or try to 'cheat', then pandai-pandailah.

Wow...that is quite a lot hustle. So how much tax did you pay in total? 25%?

jwyj is buying PC-12Plus or probably 13Ultra smile.gif

Yes, quite a hassle. 15% + 10%. So, it is more than 25%
*
I have ask Erik about excluding the shipping charges on the invoice and he said it can be done. So that way we need to pay tax on the price of the sub only.

2 units PC12-Plus = USD949 x 2 = USD1898
Door 2 Airport = USD355
-------------
Total USD2253
x 3.50
--------------
RM7885
Plus 15% tax RM1182
--------------
RM9067
plus 10% sales tax RM906
--------------
RM9973
========

So for each PC12-Plus = RM4986

Is my calculation correct?

Wrong as you have excluded the documentation / proceesing fees, which is abt RM180.

Ok...that would add another Rm100 to a PC12-Plus.

So is that what you pay for the plus htkaki?

2 unit only total = Door 2 Airport = USD355  ...cheap??!!

or gotta X2??
*
USD355 is for 2 units PC12-Plus

Buy 2 units PC12-Plus got discount USD50 per unit so the only USD899 for PC12-plus

Anyway, I better not talk about buying SVS anymore. Some people already accusing me of all talk still not buying.

My order has hit the wall for the second time.

"I just heard back from DB Schenker and they told me that the airport quotes are for KUL. Apparently they do not fly to Miri airport."

There is no turning back now. All the reviews on the net from pro and user alike, i just got to listen to SVS no matter what.

In the mean time, I am going to stay away from this thread till SVS can get the thing to ship to me.

I'm not ready to pay USD500 for shipping alone...that is crazy. I have set my mine on the 12-plus that is for sure. Just need to find the best and cheapest solution. Might take longer, but its worth the wait.

I think ship from Port to Miri would only take 1 week by sea and it's pretty cheap i guess compared to EMS or other courier by air.
But i think you can always arrange pickup from SVS to your doorstep by UPS or Fedex. Slightly Expensive i guess but u'll get to enjoy it in a week or two the most.

I cannot use fedex because i'm ordering a 7.1 system for my friend and the total shipping cost for the 7 speakers and 2x 12plus cost USD1800 using fedex.

then susah... mao murah besar n bagus like our braderhood in down south island typical mindset sad.gif

no hard feeling taukeh lightning69....

just i always feel the culture in lowyat forum is too much... either they are kids or they too smart to count

e.g. like BD also wanto ask for RM3 discount ... biggrin.gif wat can u do with RM3 when u can afford  a HT setup with at least worth more than 5k i believe  to enjoy BD movie sad.gif

You have to understand that its not the Rm3 that make them happy. It is the satisfaction that they get from "bargaining process." Anyway, i don't buy bluray so it doesn't matter to me.

Go ahead. Save you the headache of calculation. Plus can jalan-jalan Brunei smile.gif
Just hope you won't be tax twice. Once by Brunei n kena one more time by our ketam tongue.gif

Only 5% GST on brunei. Then I can unbox it and treat it as my car sub. biggrin.gif

Now only waiting for SVS to come back to me with shipping quote to Brunei. Arrangement with Brunei friend has already been made and all ok now.

Should fit in the Honda Odyssey. Planning to get the Odyssey this trip home....from Brunei too! Go buy the Odyssey at the same time bring back the SVS. One stone 2 bird.

Need another USD240 to deliver to miri airport. (tax not included yet) Should I pay?  blink.gif  I've sent an email to SVS, see lar....


Added on June 29, 2009, 3:43 pmMaybe I want another one,can? I will meet you in Brunei and you can trasfer 1 sub into my car.  rclxms.gif

Oh...that is bad. What did svs say? When they gave me the quote to miri, I specifically requested SVS to confirm whether its to Miri airport of KLIA. Them they came back to me a few days later saying the the shipper make a mistake again and its to KLIA.

That is why no i have them to re-quote to Brunei.

Nope. Actually very few subs got digital volume indicator or remote control like the Velo Q series.

I think digital vol is just stupid. Just my opinion.

Exactly! At least better make a volume knob with marking. Even the volume at the back only push button doh.gif

Is it good? Then why am I buying the SVS? biggrin.gif
