Online Shopping and Customs Duties

The most awaiting parcels are finally arrived today. As expected, I have to pay the customs duties and this is my FIRST TIME EVER to pay such tax regarding my US online order through HSG. I have been doing so since 2013 and memang terlepas je sebab pandai budget. Bahahaha.

So this time tak dapat nak elak sebab barang murah sangat-sangat-sangat. Nangis tengok harga jika dibandingkan dengan harga butik di sini.

I just pejam mata and clicked here and there and terus bayar through Paypal from a few online websites.

So this afternoon, I received a phone call from DHL courier services and notified me on the tax imposed on my parcels. Quite a lot actually tax yang kena tu, tapi bila divided dengan barang-barang yang dibeli, still harga murah sangat-sangat-sangat. I blame on the currency exchange sebab tu I kena tax tu! Grrr.

Yang best-nya, staff kurier servis tu bila jumpa I and nak pass my parcels, dia cakap macam ni:

(In Terengganu dialect)

Staff DHL :    “Guane kali ni yang kena tax?”

(Macam mana kali ni boleh kena tax?) *sambil senyum*

Me :             “Hmm, itulah. Terkena pulok kali ni.”

Staff DHL :    “Dakpelah, yang sen-sen tu kita tolak. Bayar genap je, cukuplah.”

Me :             “Ooh, terima kasih.” *syukur*

Nampak tak, staff DHL pun tahu I order barang dari US sebelum ni tak pernah kena tax!

Haish.

Tapi sebenarnya tak sabar ni nak balik rumah dan kelebek barang-barang! Bahahaha :P
