Delivery from the USA to Malaysia

bloophead — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:33:10 +0800

I recently entered into a transaction to purchase some audio equipment from an US online retailer as my sister was holidaying in the States. However, due to complications, the items failed to arrive in time for her departure. As such, my equipment is currently situated at a friend's place in the States and I am left very frustrated.

I have obtained online quotes from UPS and FeDex, only to be put off by their exorbitant rates; I am being quoted in excess of USD130 for an item weighing 1.8kg, and worth around USD350.

Could any of you gurus please point me in the right direction? I am reluctant to spend virtually half of the cost of the item on shipping, as this would completely nullify the purchase in the first place. From google, I have put up a posting on CHAKKR, but would like to get advice from anyone with experience.

Thank you in advance!

Any Malaysian users out there? I've heard disgruntled views on the firmware employed in the Touch and was wondering if any of you guys have had experience with the device? It also is virtually impossible to purchase the Squeezebox in Malaysian shores. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

MSN Messenger issue

MSN messenger keeps on signing out for me after about a minute or so, and then reconnects without any issues. This cycle is continuos and is driving me absolutely insane.

I have tried various logins, all with the same problem - even creating a new login to verify the problem.

Can someone please put me out of my misery?
