| Subject: INSTRUCTIONS on How to Buy Adam's Deluxe Edition WITHOUT Having to Pay the Crazy Shipping Cost (imposed by AO) Wed 06 Jan 2010, 7:04 pm | |
| Ok this is how I ordered the Deluxe Editions of Adam's album:
- Choose US as my country
- Ordered and paid with Paypal - I realised that with Paypal, the system would not care if your billing address is NOT USA
- For the shipping address, I input the USA address given by VPost.com.sg (see info on VPost below)
- Item is charged USA shipping costs only
- Item delivered to USA address
- Through VPost, I then have item redelivered to Singapore address - note, I paid additional shipping charges for this delivery (in SG dollars with 7% GST)
- Item arrives as parcel post
.VPOST.COM.SG
- this is a service set up by our national postal service
- it is a shipping service specifically for online shopping and allows for customers to buy from online vendors that might not ship internationally
- you need to set REGISTER with them - its free - and set up an account
- read the instructions and follow the steps and you can get your item delivered to their USA address and have it redelivered to Singapore
- essentially, once item reaches VPOST USA, you need to log in and pay for the shipping costs from US to Singapore and the parcel will then be delivered to Singapore
- everything is done online and is secured
- naturally, more items sent as one consolidated order, the cheaper the shipping costs
- for Singapore Glamberts, we ordered a total of 24 Deluxe CD sets and 10 CDs from Amazon.com, as one consolidated order, our cost of sending these CDs from USA to Singapore came up to no more than US$7.50 per CD item
- HOWEVER, if you are ONLY shipping the Deluxe CD, the shipping cost would be a minimum of $12.50 and above (should not go beyond $15)
