Agree, my friend uses it for big things like guitars and amps he buys on eBay.GeorgeStevens wrote:Took a look at your recommended site, MyUS- S$65 to ship a 1 lb package! Probably good if you are shipping a lot, and I would have saved money if I had used them at Christmas, because they repack. But for smaller orders or books, as discussed in this thread, they seem very expensive.EADG wrote:Again, see my post in this thread about a US-based company to do exactly what some here are looking for, it's tried and tested.
the other singapore boards verify observer's, er, observation.observer wrote:I know "ickle" above is a spammer, digging up all the old threads to "recommend" viaddress. But I must respond anyways, I went to viadress' website and its the dodgiest website of all the other companies. So to everyone, please be careful. For a company to rely on spammers as advertising... well, just be careful.

can we told Vpost a price less than 400SGD to avoid GST?nakatago wrote:I just did some more research.
What I wanted costed 370 USD, Amazon US (530 SGD).
I looked at Amazon France, it costed 399 Euro (834 SGD).
The thing costs 670 SGD locally. Hong Kong and Australia were fruitless.
I was like, "WTF?!?"
Maybe if I keep saying it, I'll finally accept that 670 SGD is ok.
BTW, the vpost option is only for things Amazon US won't ship internationally. I looked at Amazon's shipping rates to Singapore and they looked reasonable. If they'll ship, that is.
With vpost, they'll go by either volume or weight, whichever is higher. Amazon has been known to ship stuff in oversized boxes. I remember about some guy ordering 17 hand towels. All came in separate boxes, all with bubblewrap. Just imagine the volume those 17 boxes took. So, like what many people said, shipping by Vpost can cost you your first born child. Oh and don't forget the GST if your stuff is > 400 SGD.
I just reread this bit, and felt like I should say, no this is not quite correct! For movies and TV in bluray, you should always try to order from US, not UK, because of the region restrictions. For blurays (which I often order), Singapore is the same region code as US (Region A). UK blurays will not work here on your SG players!aster wrote:Be careful about ordering from Amazon.com/vPost. The way to go is to order from... amazon.co.uk (unless you're getting some crazy deal from the .com site that cannot be turned down). But for the most part (movies, tv) you should go to the .co.uk address, and here's why...
