Hi Trusty,

 

Federal Express should be good but do check out the rates with some of them. Can consider TNT 2. They will guide u thru. DHL known to lose packages as my company used to use their services. Then u decide

Just instruct dbschenker to do the clearing for you and transport the goods to your place. You will have to pay inward decalaration doumentation fee, GST handling fee ( usually s$10 for making GST payment on buyer's behalf) GST and local transporation ( about s$35.00 for small parcel )

 

PS for future overseas orders, always ask for shipping on dooor to door basis ( that means from seller warehouse to yr place) . This arrnage will save you all the headaches

dbschenker is arranged by the merchant to ship to airport. but i have asked for quotes to deliver to my home.

 

the gst is it chargeable on the total shipping cost or value of goods? cause im getting 2 difference voices. local transportation is for delivering to my home?

 

 

im new to this shipping thing.

GST is usually on CIF (cost insurance and freight) basis . Local transportation charges is from shipper agent Singapore warehouse to yr place

then its probably not worth the while buying big items from overseas

using the value converted to our currency? eg. 1000usd converted= 1500 x 7% ?

 

Yes, GST is charged on declared value of goods in SGD. Shipping charges are not charged wif GST.

 

That was the last time I paid the Speedpost guy who delivered a S$500+ item to me from Japan.
