Looking For Good Mail Forwarding Service In Singapore...
I'm a traveler, and need a service that can accept mail and/or the occasional package to a Singapore address.
Because some packages can't be sent to a P.O. box I need a service to be a street address NOT a P.O. box.
Anyone know of a good service? Has anyone else found a good solution to this problem?
Thanks

I doubt you will find something of that type here as there is the problem of not knowing what is in said packages. Just not a safe thing to do. Especially considering some of our neighbours in the region have penchant for growing things that contravene local laws.

Just a thought. Won't drugs be intercepted upon arrival in the country? I figured they inspect incoming packages (just got off the phone with Singpost about how I will pay GST).sundaymorningstaple wrote:You are not but they really don't like drug runners mailing packages here.

There are lots of idiots around. Like a bunch of Aussies with surfboards full of the stuff sitting in Indonesian jails. Like deaths on board airplanes due to pressure differentials causing condoms filled with cocaine bursting after being swallowed for transport. Like people wanting mail drops in countries where they have no residency status, only to give others the impression that they are based somewhere they aren't. Wake up dude.

My brother-in-law was formerly a DEA agent covering Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore for around 15 years. You would be surprised if you knew what people will try.

Nak, I reckon they could inspect the packages, but I've never had a package opened in all the years I've been here. I'm sure they scan a lot of the packages so a lot are caught that way. But, dog help the recipient on the to: portion of the label as they would surely be watching. In fact, I'm pretty sure they would deliver the package so that they could grab the recipient with the goods in hand.
We all know about the classic examples of statues, etc. filled with the stuff.

When I said inspect, I meant, at least scan the box. Oh well; no biggie.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Nak, I reckon they could inspect the packages, but I've never had a package opened in all the years I've been here.

And a lot and more caught will insist that 'it was such a small quantity .. why such a big fuss .. 'sundaymorningstaple wrote: There are lots of idiots around. Like a bunch of Aussies with surfboards full of the stuff sitting in Indonesian jails.
if I remember, even 0.02 gram is enough to earn jail sentence ..
I had a friend from San Francisco visiting, and he was shocked, when I said drugs are illegal, and he was like "not even marijuana ???, ah come on .. "
