Hi everyone. Anyone knows what are the risks of getting the Orchid Seed's 1/5 Chichinoe Plus Infinity PVC into Malaysia tongue.gif, as in will it stealth by the customs successfully?

@K 'Dash: If you have a female relative/friend staying/working with you in your home/office willing to let you order packages in her name, that might help with stuff slipping through customs as well. I've ordered figures for years and nvr once kena tahan at custom, whereas my bf's brother's statues always kena tahan ^^;; Maybe they think female name = won't order ecchi stuff lol.
*
Ah, never thought of having a female peer to solve that. Thanx alot biggrin.gif


Added on April 22, 2009, 11:24 pmBtw, if the term "kena tahan" by the customs as in they've opened the package(s), or juz a simple "tahan"?

In my bf's bro's experience, they tahan then request to open the package for inspection - he gave reasons like very fragile, ceramic statue, scared damaged if shift it around while opening the box etc. so the inspectors backed off cos they were scared they'd be blamed for the damage. Not sure if this tactic will work all the time though tongue.gif It seems to be much safer if you have a female-sounding name on the package, my bf got sick of sometimes getting figures with the "opened for inspection" stamp on the package and started ordering in my name - no problems since ^^
*
Hehe... Quite an amusing experience it seems. Hope mine won't be as amusing as that tongue.gif

Mine is rather funny too. If i have Play-Asia to mail the items to my house under my own name, it has a 80% chance that the boxes might be crushed on one side or another or more. However, i have them mailed to my gf's place using her name, so far, 100% perfect condition or minimum damage to the parcel. Since noticing this strange occurrence, i have them mailed to her place instead everytime since we are always meeting up on a daily basis.

Maybe just a coincidence. Maybe the post office which is in-charge of these parcels is rather close to her place, so they are placed on top of other people's parcels so that they will be delivered first, hence the avoidance of being crushed by other parcels. Who knows. All i know is that they suck.

I rather use DHL or Fedex sometimes.

Oh, you're the dude who bought that? Why was it detained? Due to it being over RM500? Or did the customs magically saw something naughty in the package?  (/◔ ◡ ◔)/

tongue.gif how da heck u know, u were there? Didn't know of the reason and i didn't ask either. Juz magically found myself a way out of it sweat.gif

I have magic eyes (=‿=)

But yeah, where you ordered it from, and how much shipping? More info is always good, since I'd like to buy that, too, but was worried about the whole custom thing =3=

From HLJ, the parcel dim. 40 x 28 x 20 cm (bulky?), weight kinda approx. 1kg, total pricing stated on the parcel was like RM530+, taxed for approx. RM 85 (15.5% tax i was told) so i guess that 's the reason tongue.gif. I suggest using ebay to order from individuals to avoid declaring such high price sweat.gif
