I say we make our own geeky t-shirt store. I’d be interested to join in the boat if anybody interested.

Is it just like what they said under “International Shipping – Why isn’t my country in your list?”, these countries had a high rate of fraudulent orders??

I am beginning to understand why (some) online stores refuse to accept Malaysia orders – now that I am starting a new online store, I get fictatious orders & fictatious customers. I have to spend extra time filtering them out, sending emails and even tried to call the phone numbers provided by them.

To make things easier (for the larger online stores), they simply refuse to accept Malaysian orders – penalizing everyone, including genuine orders. Its a pity that you can’t order anything from ThinkGeek – they have some very nice stuff!

freight too expensive. takes around USD45 to ship documents from US to M’sia. so for packages might run up to USD100 plus. if you really want those 2 shirts, drop me an email, i might be able to help.

I contacted them last year, and they only mentioned that they don’t accept Malaysian credit cards due to high number of fraud cases. Actually it’s nonsense.

I think if we pay by cheque or Paypal there’s no risk of fraud, so they can ship here. They simply don’t want to ship here

I also think it’s the problem of high fraud rate but they bluff you that DHL and UPS do not deliver

Actually DHL does deliver things to malaysia. It’s just that it is Dua Hari Lewat (DHL)…. heheh…

Agreed ! If not mistaken, Malaysia is still listed as one of the fraud and scam country…
