Bro, no hard feeling on that. I guess that you are particularly talking about PC12-Plus.
I need to pay hefty tax, which is 15% + 10%

. For a registered business entity, you would not want to get caught red handed for tax evasion

. If you calculate based on all the price listed in SVS plus the shipping fee and the TAXES, it is almost same (PB13-Ultra price is cheaper than US). In your scenario, it is different as yours was shipped to Brunei and that you managed to pass the custom after much of your lengthy risk calculation (we could understand that as money aint easy to earn

).
Moreover, what you are getting from me is additional service on setting up the subwoofer. If you have problem (touch wood), we can help to rectify it faster and less hassle (e.g : shipping the said defect products back to US and installing it on your own)

i would say for ppl who live in KL the price mightbe still ok, but for Nothern buyers there are quite a few questions raised by my frens..
1) how much more do we have to pay, lets say sending a pb12nsd to Penang? If we buy directly from US to Pg airport it would be rm3400 including tax.. now we have to pay rm38xx and still need to pay more transport from kl to North.
2) do i still get the 'no questions asked, we r sending a new 1 to u now' service when there is damage to the sub during local delivery.. coz this is what svs is supposed to be.. greatest service to their buyers .. if we have to wait for weeks for u to claim from the transport co then it is a big no no.
3) nothern buyers dont get any additional service from u on the spot for setting up our subwoofer.. no offence if i am going to ask for help through email i will certainly email directly to svs coz they r the real expert... and if there is problem with the sub we still have to diy..
Bro i think u need to state clearly the transport cost and what happens when there is damage to the subwoofer during local delivery.. coz these r the questions repeatedly raised by the few interested buyers from north.. at the moment they dont see y they should pay u more.. the two frens that i have spoken to prefer to wait for Sg price 1st (are they out yet?) .. they dont see any any reason buying in malaysia .. shipping faulty parts to kl and shippng faulty parts to sg is really no diff to us.. and nothern buyers still have to diy.. if they need to pay extra to send to north then they rather arrange or pay for some1 to bring in from sg coz to them they got nothing to lose.. they get a chance to avoid tax ... Anyway these are what my frens feel, maybe u can advise abt the local transport fee part and how does the warranty work during local transport.
