I bought some time ago from Amazon.uk an air purifier (brand new). Today I got this:
I bought something from Amazon with no direct shipment option to Singapore so I am using one of these companies to ship from US address to SG. They use DHL. Now I started to think whether DHL kind of decided to compete with speedpost or is there something I miss? The parcel arrived yesterday in HK and then this is what happened according to the tracking record:

Shipping from UK is an interesting subject on its own. It is not that expensive for small items at all. I buy a lot from Ebay and if I want things to be delivered reliably and fast I'd rather buy the stuff from an UK seller than from China or HK. I am talking about things like minor electronics, small parts etc. From UK it takes typically <10 days, from CN and HK it's a pure lottery. It can take 10 days but more often in the 20 to 45 range. At the same time very few US sellers offer reasonable postal rates to SG.

I don't remember the last time I bought something of Ebay. Few bites, shy now.
I buy from both Amazon UK & US constantly, at least once a month. UK site is much quicker and more can be shipped out compared to US.
When the haze was really bad, I bought the air purifiers from UK site and came 3days later and the masks too.
And recently with a nits scare, I bought some nits comb from UK site too. I didn't realise that SG do not sell nits comb.
I went to a pet shop and bought something similar

I also order from amazon.com (you get free shipping if you order for more than S$125, if you clicked the box that the item must qualify for free shipping and the seller is amazon.com), however last time I ordered a CatGenie (self-cleaning cat toilet) but I couldn't get it to work here. Every single time I would plug it in it would cause a power blackout. Had anyone have the same experience?

If you ordered it from the US Amazon, was it designed for US 110-115V or for Singapore 220-240V or is it dual voltage. If US 110-115V that is what is causing your have a power trip. If 220-240V then I don't know.
