Hi Tran,
The export laws from Sarawak require a lot of paperwork and it is all based upon "their" rules and schedule. Sometimes it is 4 weeks or longer just to get the various permits issued before your plants can be shipped. You are probably getting the required ; Forestry Service Permit, CITIES Permit, and a Phytosanitary certificate, depending on what plants you bought. MT is usually pretty clear about this in their correspondence with buyers. I wouldn't necessarily get all worried about it yet. The bigger problem will come on your receiving end when the VN postal/customs/ag department get their hands on your box! Good luck!
I imagine you are communicating with Juliana at MT. She has always been very good at informing me about orders. I'm not sure about Malaysia's holiday schedule, but if it's anything like Thailand's, the office might have been closed for a few days.

Purchasing from Malesiana Tropicals
 

Hi Guys,

Never made an order from MT before. Any comments on making purchases from them.... are they reliable, expensive.... etc..? :unsure:

Re: Purchasing from Malesiana Tropicals
 

As far as I am concern and from growers in Malaysia, they are reliable and their prices are competitive. Perhaps it would be better for you to go through their website and compare prices with other nurseries before you make your decision.

Re: Purchasing from Malesiana Tropicals
 

MT prices are pretty competitive. However web purchases are you have to include forwarding fee too. Maybe that is what makes it slightly expensive. In your case, I don't think sending stuff to Selangor needs any phytosanitary or Cites.

I personally have bought stuff from them lately. Got them pretty soon and in good order. Alternatively, YG in Cameron Highlands is also a good alternative.

Re: Purchasing from Malesiana Tropicals
 

For small qty order, you can order from MT. I have done a few orders with them, so far so good. As for YG, they mainly deal in large qty orders for nurseries. Hope this help.

If you want good one on one customer service (asking for growing tips, looking for a certain nep species and etc... ) Fauzi is the one you should approach.

Re: Purchasing from Malesiana Tropicals
 

Agreed with Robert.

Re: Malesiana Tropical question ! Help !
 

ok guys thanks for the info...

Sounds like there are quite a few satisfied MT customers among this forum.

Where is this YG in camerons ..? as in which part/mile in camerons is it..?

Re: Malesiana Tropical question ! Help !

Hi guy,
I just get MT plants today, incredible quality, best plants, good size, good service,... I think this is the best place to you guy can buy the plants. once again the plants they are best quality I ever seen.

Re: Malesiana Tropical question ! Help !
 

Good to hear you're happy with your MT order. MT provide good price for their products. However, when it come to size and quality, I think EP still the best.... that's including the price (hint2) as well... *biggrin2*

Re: Malesiana Tropical question ! Help !
 

I think both are good ! EP I haven't try :D too expensive with me.
