unclebutcher SG

the base charge hor, is how many kg?

FireIce SG

base charge is fixed charge loh
means confirm have to pay this amt per order
then the kg charge is added on top of it

unclebutcher SG

sian so complicated

FireIce SG

very simple actually
just start using it
anyhow oso cheaper than direct intl shipping

unclebutcher SG

but do you find like stuff is cheaper there? i mean i saw levi's jeans on sale, 30 USD + 5 USD shipping, + Vpost 13 bucks + arnd 5 bucks, total around 70 sing, dunno if really that much cheaper.

and i dont understand the part how they say Kevin...write where? when you ordering from the shop?

use only if the websites do not offer international shipping. Shipping cost by Vpost can cost ard $16. Without insurance

unclebutcher SG

ya...many us sites dont offer international shipping...

Personally I don’t quite like it unless the merchant does not have international shipping. Vpost takes damn long to process.

FireIce SG

i buy not becos of the price, but becos i like the apparel/accessories.
the key is... shipping is cheaper.....
and since USD is so low now, it's (probably) cheaper to buy from US than in local stores...
and US stores carry some designs tt are not here

at the checkout page when u are to key in ur shipping address,
Kevin goes to the "first name" box
VPxxxxx goes to the "last name" box

FireIce SG

usually come within 2 weeks (from the day u made the purchase)....

oso depends on when ur merchant send out the parcel, how long it reaches vpost....then vpost generate payment advice.... u pay..... vpost fly ur goods to SG, deliver to ur house....

Vigelic SG

I agree!

for my last order..

i've been tracking it..

25th dec money paid to merchant
28th dec merchant shipped (via ups) to vpost usa
5th jan UPS delivered to vpost usa
7th jan (TODAY) vpost indicates "2 boxes received" but NOT matched to invoice and NOT processed yet.

it will take another working day to match to invoice, and another working day to process, then another working day to send me the bill to pay for shipping to sg, then another working day for them to approve the payment n process the shipping..

FireIce SG

weekend mah.

must have some luck to hit their schedule of delivery oso

Vigelic SG

8th jan (12:30 am) items processed, payment advice generated & paid

let's see when it's gonna reach my door -.-
