Expect the tax on battery but SSD and RAM shud be tax free.

Amazon do ship to malaysia :)

last time i bought few clothes from US(~RM700) and kena RM100 tax... :Scolding:
I think if it worth over a certain amount, you'll get taxed.

As for shipping, some items stated provide free shipping, I think that applied to US customers only, as for Malaysia, how much the average shipping fees? RM 100? RM 200?

Shipping depend on weight/size. US shipping usually quite expensive ~USD60.

Buy something outside under RM500+shipping cost shoud be free tax...

I also confuse about the FEDEX policy how they count the tax by themselve...where I bought a pants+shipping around RM300 and I need to pay them tax for the amount. In my experienced purchasing clothes on ebay and shipped by USPS there was free tax...conclusion...choose USPS express beside FEDEX...
