I did an experiment comparing comGateway vs 65Daigou, shipping 2 identical parcels (each containing 9 items in paper boxes) ordered from Amazon USA. Both orders were placed on the same day. In fact I placed the order to ship to 65Daigou 15 minutes or so before placing the order to ship to comGateway.
Duration to reach Oregon warehouse
(Both warehouses are in Oregon. Don't know why there's a difference in arrival. Maybe comGateway warehouse in bigger city?)
comGateway: 11 days
65Daigou: 12 days
Item weight before repack: 4kg (comGateway)
Weight after repack: 2.6kg (65Daigou)
Cost of shipping
comGateway: USD 39+ (can use credit card, and earn miles)
65Daigou: SGD 36+ (including 3% insurance) (use DBS iBanking. Didn't want to pay 3% CC surcharge)
Duration of shipping after arrival at warehouse
(I waited for both orders to arrive at their respective warehouses, then on the following Saturday, place order to ship to Singapore, to see which company works on Saturdays )
comGateway: 7 days (standard shipping)
65Daigou: 11 days (only 1 choice)
Tracking of parcels from USA to singapore
comGateway: Yes (DHL)
65Daigou: No
HORRORS!
The item from 65Daigou was delivered in a THIN PLASTIC bag, with the 9 paper boxes held together by SCOTCH TAPE, and the boxes crushed, everyone of them. I could not remove the scotch tape without tearing the surface off, and had to leave remnants of the scotch tape on the box. A truly ugly sight.
comGateway had wisely left the amazon cardboard box as it was, even though I had given them permission to repack. All the paper boxes inside were in pristine condition.
Will I ship using 65Daigou again, to save the SGD 15-20? Probably not.
actually what do you buy? as gifts?HORRORS!

Can't blame Amazon. I bought a bagpack off newegg before and it also arrived in a gigantic box. It seems that it's their policy not to fold those bags.
So, bag buyers beware.
Any existing 65daigou promos/coupons?
First time using them, hopefully everything goes well. I have previously used VPost, CGW and Borderlinx eons ago. I actually like CGW, but find them pricy.
for 65daigou, if using "ship for me" services do I need to pay agent fee?
if yes, it means declaring lower product value will be recommended (provided user doesn't care about buying insurance etc)? since agent fee is a percentage of the product value, so high value means paying higher agent fee ><
