if you read a few post up, you will know it is normal.



you incurred an extra of 10 bucks which kinda makes you 33.
and mine is 28.

so technically... you know.

What's up with those guys having 40-60-80 sgd from vpost???

BTW as far as I know, GST is only when the product come then pay from the courier right? How come u guys calculated the GST immediately already?

My order got cancelled. I called posb but they say cant do anything about it on their side..
something abt differing billing addresses, dunno whether using another posb card may work..

those included gst, yours reached sg then collect from you. Vpost collected on behalf.

How come my EMS insurance only 50 yen???

Did you declare correctly? Hmm

Vpost will calculate and collect first, just like cgw and bdl as US forwarders.

Ok, cos my previous experience buying from Clove UK is that they send here then pay the GST to the courier.

Received my Spigen cases today, one Ultra Fit and one Ultra Hybrid. Was pleasantly surprised to find both come with a free screen protector. But that was the only good news.

Quality of the ultra hydrid wasn't good, had tons of scratches on the clear plastic back right out of the box. The ultra fit looks more "premium" in pictures than in real life..

Kinda disappointed, might order some Ringke cases to try..

Just had a facepalm moment.. There is a protective film on the ultra hybrid's clear back. Removed it and it's all good.

Thanks for pronxs for pointing it out to me..

Mentioned a lot of times here, the initial charge of $200yen is to verify your card only, will cancel. The final amt will be charged only when they ship.

noted and thanks. Anyway i am using vpost too, just using whatever that makes me feel comfortable to deal with. Just hope my transaction will go through successfully.

got an experience where singapore custom hold my parcel until i make a declaration of the value before they issued the clearance, end up paying the GST to the deliveryman. So if you want the item quick, let the forwarder call the GST and singapore custom will release it for delivery immediately.

with so many nexus 5 coming in, custom will check and make sure GST is been paid...lol

Have you ordered from AU store? If not, why not go through JP store?

Your parcel is no declaration before is it? How to let Tenso charge GST....o.o

cause vpost include gst that's why.

google play test water with your CC, if can be charged means your card ok, if cannot be charged then they will tell you the actual transaction cannot go through

weird, for me the 200 yen transaction went through but then google declined my card after 2 days..

Tenso won't charge..they only declare.

Anyway ems insurance is first 20k yen free, every subsequent 20k is 50yen.

So i guess you declare below 40k yen for your n5...
