Edde: It's very simple. You got vpost and cwg accounts? If not, register and open the accounts first. When you register, you will be given an unique USA address, as in the suite number is unique and the USA address will be that of vpost usa or cwg usa. Then when you do online shopping, for the address, just put in this unique add given to you. That's almost it!
I will continue with Part 2 when you tell me you understand the above.
Hehehe...
I will continue with Part 2 when you tell me you understand the above.
mickey, yes i understand this part. but i dun understand the calculation part. for eg ON local shipping is USD5 then still must add shipping charges for vpost USA to singapore rite? i read that base charge is $13++ ?? then still got shipping charge based on wt ?? is that why we always consolidate more orders so as to share the shipping cost? my maths fail one leh, this is too chim for my pea brain hahaha!! i simply have no sense of dollars and cents haha!
Edde: On the shipping, that's actually Part 3. Hehehe..
You're right. Most of the US merchants only ship within the USA continent. The $5 shipping refers to domestic USA shipping. You will have to add the international shipping from USA to singapore. Here is the diff between vpost and cwg.
Vpost: Base charge = SGD13.24 and weight is charged SGD9.16/kg. Vpost doesn't do rounding and charge the exact weight.
CWG: No base charge. The first kg is USD14 and every subsequent 1/2kg is USD2. They round up to the nearest 1/2 kg. (I hate this cos somehow the package is alwasy 3.1kg or 5.6kg or something liddat!)
What weight do they use?
Both vpost and cwg will charge based on the higher of actual or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is measured by volume of the package. For eg: if you order the curlies from gymboree, the actual weight could be 200g, but if gymboree packs this into a box whose volumetric weight is 3kg, then you pay shipping for a 3kg package.

Edde: Yah, that's the part 4.. GST is imposed by the customs in SG, nothing to do with either vpost or cwg.
In general, if the purchase with a particular merchant is more than SGD400, then you incur gst. But there is a way to avoid this.
Vpost: Keep each order below SGD400 with a safe margin for FX fluctuation, usually USD230 is ok. QQ was very lucky to miss by SGD0.05!!!
For vpost, each parcel sent to your suite (in the USA) will have to be matched with a corresponding invoice you sent them. This is the trick. If you order 3 batches from vpost, send in the invoice one by one, wait for the first parcel to be matched with the first invoice and pay the shipping. When this is done, then send in the second invoice and repeat the process. This way, you won't kenna gst, but you have to pay base charge for each shipment. So got to do a calculation to see which is more worth it.
For cwg: More tricky but essentially same thing for cwg. Keep each batch below SGD400. Then send in the invoice separately. Cwg will want the user to send in the invoice before the shipment reaches them (we know this cos the merchant will always provide a tracking number). So it's more tricky to use cwg in this regard altho cwg is cheaper than vpost.

Edde: As for shipping time, very difficult to estimate cos too many variables are involved. There is the domestic shipping time - this depends on how far the merchant is from portland oregon (which is the homebase for both vpost and cwg), then the international shipping will depend on how soon vpost or cwg can match the parcel and how soon the parcel is delivered to you in Sing. Then if you order in many different batch, you'll want to space out the submission of invoices, so that will also cause some delay.
Baby Girl: there is this really good box of small black elastic bands that i get from watsons, its about $3 plus for one box. quality very good. won't break easily when u stretch them. Dun get the cheapo one packet that cost $0.50 or $1 from mama shop or chamelon or similar shops, those are rubbish bands, will break after just one use. anyway i found another pack of soft thin elastic bands (like those that we use to buy and cut into smaller length ourselves.. this one very good leh.. its so thin and soft,easy on bb hair and easy for our hands to grip as well. Thispack i bought it from the provision shop at my house by OOS liao, i am still waiting for the stock to come in.
The gymbo crulie, can giap directly onto anna's hair. If anna's hair is too fine u can tie with rubber band first, then giap the curlies onto the pony tails to decor. I still prefer the alligator clips, so much easier to wear for our bbs.
