comGateway only packs everything into a single box if it is requested. To request this, do email customerservice@comgateway.com.
Otherwise, repack simply means we cut down on each package's external packaging (i.e., transfer tshirt from box to bag, cut down a box's height from 20cm to 15cm, etc).
Items that are shipped together are then billed together, but arrive in their own packages. The benefit of shipping items together therefore, is that only Item 1 will pay the base charge, and Items 2,3,4 will only pay the incremental charge.
Hope this helps!
I meant the shipping costs of forwarding from US to SG, duh. That was that the person was asking about right?
The calculation of the Customs GST is based on the Cost, vCare and Freight (CIF) value of the item plus all duties payable.
Customs GST relief is granted on items (excluding intoxicating liquors and tobacco products) imported by a total value not exceeding S$400.
Where the value exceeds S$400, the entire sum would be subject to Customs GST.
The current Customs GST rate is 7% of CIF.
Total Customs GST Chargeable = 7% on [Cost + Insurance + Freight]
where Cost is the total cost of products in a package / order paid to seller / Merchant that includes the item value, domestic shipping, handling charge etc., while vCare is the cost of purchasing optional insurance from vPost and Freight is vPost shipping charge for that item.
And that shipping cost from US to SG is taken into consideration for GST. Please read carefully, for your benefit, in bold are the pertinent information.
Yes, Most forwarders charge based on volumetric weight or actual weight, whichever is higher., so if your item is very small but very big in size or packaging then the shipping cost will be high.........Using HSG now.
Have 3 packages :
1) Actual weight : 0.07kg
Vol. weight : -
Chargeable weight : 0.5kg
2)Actual weight : 0.50kg
Vol. weight : 0.87kg
Chargeable weight : 1kg
3) Actual weight : 0.07kg
Vol. weight : -
Chargeable weight : 0.5kg
Upon checking out, the weight was 2kg for shipping.
Is this normal? Does HSG use physical weight as it will be less than 1kg
h. any experts here?
anyway to help me, my chargeable weight is 65.7kg, actual weight is 14.3kg.
its a brompton bike and they are not willing to repack for me.
my charge is $766 after a 20% discount using citibank CC.
Is there an alternative say using DHL or other proxy?
any advice if I want to ship an item back to US? Its actually a return item. Weigh around 500g.
