figma school bag comes free with the first batch of figma makina and figma haruhi summer uniform. Haha that Guuto-kuro is an action figure.. naturally action figure cost more than the static figure of the same size
Haha they buy Signum because she's on sale tongue.gif Otherwise they will look from afar only whistling.gif

Really? damn i didn't get any school bag when i bought summer haruhi from XLSHOP. mad.gif Maybe i should call them up.

And as for Guuto-kuro, they say its 21cm Tall....is this like a poseable PVC figure? shocking.gif I might consider it if got goood reviews for it.

Dohohohoh. I got 2 bags, bro. One from Haruhi, one from Makina.

Yes, it's roughly 1/8 scaled, though they don't really state it.

it seems they tend to target japan imports...especially if the boxes are printed "Hobby" or "Toys"

So how much tax you have to pay? Or did you have to pay "tax" ?

Last time i went down to customs was 4-5 years ago and i didn't have to pay anything after explaining my toys. But waste alot of time lo go down all the way there. SIgh.

u use SAL to ship? or EMS?

I choose SAL normally....but cuz they made a big box, they upgraded me to EMS automatically....since its faster and cheaper for big boxes to go EMS anyway.

You can choose to elect Pos Malaysia to be your agent and get it for you, for a sum of RM20 on top of whatever tax you are paying. The downside of this is you lose RM20 and you cannot negotiate/appeal to remove the tax. You sure must pay it liow.

Toys is non taxable anyway....the RM500 "luxury good" rule is just so they can suck our monies.

More like, SAL Parcel, actually. It's like SAL, but it's tracked and requires signature upon receiving the goods (and around 1000yen more expensive, too)

You'll get bumped to SAL Parcel if your items are worth over $100 in one box, and there's a certain limit to the box size for SAL Small Pack (the cheaper, uninsured shipping), so you won't get SAL-SP if you have a bunch of stuff packed and ready to ship.

[attachmentid=971674]

[attachmentid=971675]

You can ask for some items to be canceled, to reduce the total charge, though there's a high chance they'll still use SAL Parcel for your package (even though the total is less than $100, like what happened to me in the above. I had another item in the order before this, which totals to $140 including shipping), but you can ask for them to make it SAL-SP.

Hope it helps (/◔ ◡ ◔)/

Nope, they bumped to EMS for me. Got EMS tracking number also. I did get a SAL parcel once and its more expensive than with EMS. Painful lesson for me, and also because of HLJ sales. Zzzz. I should know better than to suddenly buy stuff on impulse.

QUOTE(richard0304 @ May 18 2009, 11:12 PM)
I used to bulk some stuff from HLJ.. asked them to seperate into different shipments because of the same reason. But they refused, probably because this will cause them more work to do..
*
Yeah...they don't cater for this unfortunately. And it has to do with their computer system and how it records/merges stuff together into parcel. Its all automated and manual intervention will be problematic on their accounts. I've been speaking (complaining) with Joseph about it though and he says they are hoping to improve the system very soon to address the parcel splitting/merging.

The Kenshin's box and figure is very unassuming and doesn't look echi in anyway. So customs lookat it also they wun think much.

The cast off though is very impressive. lulz.

It's not even RM500 anymore, more like RM600-ish. The current rate is like 100yen = RM3.6

The model kit must've had a HUGE box, I suppose. And shipping's rather cheap for EMS.
*
I was counting just my purchases which HLJ put on the box label, not with shipping its about RM570. Not counting the shipping.

As for huge box, don't really think Yukikaze's fault, but if Yuki_N is anything like Haruhi Gekisou, that would be the hueg one.

luckily i didn't have to pay tax..after "negotiating" with them.

on the bad side, all the time, toll charges, petrol to get there is a big bummer  vmad.gif

the plastic kit cost almost 30,000yen

Ouch. I feel your pain. Cannot nego it? shocking.gif

just recently after knowing franstormer, its easier to find some pvc figure at local shop. i think the best way to avoid custom tax are by ordering from shop coz it safer and cheaper (I think). Nah, my babling is getting worst.

*
Local shops like to goreng you....even the famous ones. vmad.gif

That's why i prefer online shopping which can save me 20-30% cost + shipping compared to buy locally, unless its something really big and hard to ship making it not worth for me to get it myself.

I dun really remember actually. LOL. I just knew it came with some short mango and drama CD with the figures. In fact i didn't really cared for that line either. Too generic moe/action for me.

So now RIP because they cancelled it or what?

calculate in rm already exceed rm500 no matter he used ems or sal...after held by customs got return back? or totally cant let it get in?
*
The amount printed on HLJ's box is the price of items only....does not include the shipping cost. So if his items is below Rm500 should be safe.

Every EMS box should have a sticker with the postage cost and weight slapped to it (it includes items cost too, with HLJ). Postman will total them together to tax you..

Do you mean SAL shipping has no shipping price on the box?... B.T.W.  sal shipping will be only 1380 yen (not 1680 yen) ... bringing it to slightly below RM500
*
Don't think so wor. Cause if they did this to you then you might have been conned. The rules only state for items above RM500.....which DOES NOT include shipping. If they count your shipping you have a right to question them.

And AFAIK (as far as HLJ's sticker is concerned) there's no shipping value pasted on it. But on the EMS sticker itself i dunno la. I dun usually post EMS so i forgot what info the sticker shows.

The rules states (Custom Duties Exemption Order 1988, Perkara: 172, and Sales Tax (Exemption ) Order 1980 , Pekara: 109) not exceed RM 500 in CIF value... CIF.. Cost, Insurance and Freight.. Even if the item is free and the shipping cost you RM500.01, you will be taxed.

Yes EMS sticker stated the shipping price and weight.

i stand corrected then. Major pwnage then....especially for me. cry.gif
