Excellent information, I'd have to compare the shipping charges though. About Malaysian custom, so far of all the 40-50 purchases I made online from various places of the world, a couple are bags from US, wallets, none are held at the custom (although 1 particular parcel of tiara got lost somewhere in between China & Malaysia) or got tax charged to it. Most of the time, it's labelled as Gift. From the online marketing seminar that I attended, this is one of the way to escape tax ;p another is to declare as 'Sample' or low value of the item. But a friend of mine did have a bad experience of buying mobile phone from Germany where she got taxed for it even though her mom is somebody higher up in the IRS chain (come to think of it Custom & IRS got nothing to do with each other :p) Hi,

Hi, Vivien,
after reading your BAD experience, now, I really have damn BAD impression about m'sian custom, seems like it's unskippable.

Yep, I think, they just open your shipment, irregardless personal or company, I've mine opened, and a few pair of pants missing, many years ago.
