I saw in the feb thread that carrefour is cheaper for healthy times leh. Usu price is $6.69, after posb 5% rebate it's $6.36.
Personal opinion is that the savings doesn't justify the efforts needed to conduct a spree, unless you are getting several packs. This is bec you only save about $1 for a pack, if you order from the cheapest source (eg amazon). Procurement is not the difficult part of an overseas spree, but the tough part is the logistics, getting to meet up with people, etc.

Hi mommies,
I am from Aug thread. I am doing a C-sect and wondering if it's ok to do it like in week 37+ or should I do it after week 38+ or 39+.
Question is for those whose baby is born in week 37+, are they generally lower in their immunity and falls sick easier?
I think it's safe after week 37 but hubby thinks otherwise. Any comments from those mommies who's baby is born in week 37+?
Thanks for comments.

re Jumperoo
Tsukushi, you ordered from Amazon and ship in using Borderlinx direct? Am thinking of ordering 1 for my baby is it's really below $150 but have never shipped in anything from US on my own before. Perhaps this can be an enlightenment to many mummies here
Btw, how did Borderlinx charge you for the Jumperoo shiping, based on actual or volumetric weight?
Re: baby flipping
My ger has only flipped once from tummy to back (but can't do it the other way round). Each milestone is truly a joy to behold

You sign up with Borderlinx and they will give you ur USA address. Ship to this address when you order from Amazon. Then when the item reaches BDL, they will notify you, then u go to ur acct and request for shipment. They will pass ur parcel to DHL who will deliver to yr doorstep. You can track the parcel via BDL or DHL websites, and when it reaches sg, u just give dhl a call and arrange for a good time to deliver to ur house. If not, by default they will deliver on the same day in the morning or afternoon.
Btw, if you're ordering 1 unit, it costs $160. If you order 2 units, it will cost around $149 each. The shipping rates are calculated based on the weight of the parcel, and most of the time they used volumetric weight.

shint - my 2 older kids were delivered at week 37. and 3rd delivered at week 35+. All were fine n they don't fall ill easily,although falling sick is inevitable. ( I encourage BF baby as BM privides the most nutrients to infant n that will give some 'protection' to yr baby)
In fact, i was down with bad sore throat n cough when she was abt 2 mths old and she did not catch any bugs from me.
don't worry too much about it
all the best to you!

tsukushi - so if i order from amazon, i can pay using my singapore citibank credit card? If order 2 units of the jumperoo, shld not incur GST rite? How do we estimate the shipping cost for the things we order? Do we ask amazon for the weight then check with BDL wat is the cost? Volumetric weight is referring to the size of the box issit? And there shld be domestic shipping charges for shipping to the USA address, this is charged by Amazon together with the cost of the item? Thanks so much for your advise!!

Thanks Tsukushi for the detailed explanation. Am sure if this works out, will bust my purse even further but hey, if it's a good deal, am sure our hubbies should praise us instead! I've just registered for a Borderlinx account. Will do as you instructed. My girlfriend is ordering 1 unit together with mine so greater savings! How much then we have to pay GST? Thanks Dear!
Dolly, you can follow Tsukushi's advice too.
Sputnik, Amazon has free domestic shipping I think so we just pay Borderlinx for the Intl shipping.

Amazon accepts SG credit card, only thing is they don't ship some stuff to SG. Domestic shipping to BDL is very fast for the jumperoo, took about 2-3days for my case. I ordered on Fri/Sat and it reached BDL on tues.
If you order 2 units, it should not incur GST. But if you order 3 units, most likely will hit GST.
For the jumperoo, they ship in the original box, so weight is around 11kg, pls take note of this!!! They weighed mine wrongly and I chased them for a week to get it amended. You can get the dimensions of the box from Amazon's website.
After I requested for shipment, it took 3 days to reach me. Eg request on monday night, received on thurs night.
