Plaza Angsana in Tampoi along Skudai. level 4 Johan Photo. Look for boss Anthony. They have a facebook page also. There is also another shop named Mee Too photo on level 2, boss is Mr Sim (father and son). Better check prices first, its been a while since I was there, and now Malaysia GST is now in full force.
i manage to get a quote from Johan at only MYR 3300 ! isn't that a steal? hmmm
You suppose to read his mind......... lolPrice for what product? No head no tail...
oops my bad! fujifilm XT-1 Body
Yes. Do give them a call to verify pricing. Was in Penang and KL in March and the prices they offered were not as attractive as HK. Think prices are worse now with GST.
even if i travel to KL for a day and come back same day.. can get refund?
KL prices is cheaper than Singapore before their GST started,but ofcourse u can't compare with HK.but don't forget to take into consideration the cost of travel,unless u are in HK for holiday or work. Moreover Malaysia is nearer should the goods have any defects. Now I heard that price are still cheaper than Singapore with GST and the exchange rates are higher for us now.
No refund... Given that you will pretty much spend above the single day allowance.
Let me give you some ideas..
Most people who buy from JB would typically not want to pay gst. If you pay GST the resulting saving might not be really worth the trip.
So What not to do
1) Don't carry the box with the lens in it over the custom just like that ...you might get caught and get fined. If proven guilty you might be made to pay gst best case ... Worst case is you pay a fine of 10 x gst.
What you should do
1) Either disposed of the boxes and "used" your camera ....
Or
2) flatten the box and pass to your friend out of sight... and u hold on to the camera.
3) Try not to make you way back on Sat Sunday peak hours like (6-8pm) where there are more officers stationing at the x-ray machines.
Like what the others have said .. Go plaza angsana and visit meetoo photo and Johan photo. It is possible to get undated receipt from them ... It helps if the item you are buying has international warranty e.g. Nikon lens. But be careful of carry huge amount of cash around in JB.

I think SG prices for Lowepro are quite good alreadyI'm going to HK this month, any recommendation prefer International Warranty. Getting Lowepro bag or a lens.
