SMS I was interested in his Ho Chi Minh business idea as I was there visiting my clients new branch. They just kept telling me nightmares they had setting up shop in Vietnam.
Then I read all his other ideas and lost interest in attempting to think about helping.
Going for beer now. I don't know why I am still at the office on this bloody board.

Air freight is a lot more than DHL or Fedex. If one is talking about regular shipments of any size, airlines will want you as a freight customer. Those website are small piece oriented costs... can do much better than that.solubytes wrote:For airfreight, it is counted based on per kg, and cost can be calculated with DHL or SingPost website
FYI, DHL has been in old & gas for years, not only recently.solubytes wrote:Hello,
FYI, DHL already goes into oil & gas industries, not only small parcel like ebay item.
They have been handling our ship spares regularly too which weight more than 1 ton per packing.
Not sure about SingPost though, never used them for big shipment.
But it's DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain that's involved.
The small parcel delivery is by DHL Express.
Although under the same group, these companies run seperately and work very differently.
Preliminary planning question here: upon leaving Singapore we'll be bringing a moderate amount of stuff with us. Not so much as to require a container (I don't think...no furniture or anything) but too much for excess baggage on an airline. The extent of it will be two bicycles plus maybe 50-70kg of books, computer and music equipment and other small junk. What options are there for a one time shipment from Singapore to Toronto?
