CGW still has the DBS/POSB CC promo this year
I am just curious. for frequent users of this service, isn't Prime with HSG, better value than CGW with DBS promo? Besides, for frequent shoppers, Prime is not difficult to achieve.
As much as Paypal charges a fee, when i calculate based on my CC statement, paying by mastercard vs PP the difference is really just 0.02 difference in exchange rate (at the most)
Is there something that i don't understand, the fuss over paypal, HSG, etc.
sorry if i made anyone unhappy over this question, i'm just really curious. ignore me if i said something wrong.
-----------------------------------------------------
the way i calculate, if i am not in a hurry, HSG with Prime is cheapest
If i want to use all the current promotions (not in a hurry) CGW with DBS 5% / HSG PP 10%, HSG still seems a better deal.
by the way, DBS 5% and free express, is it one time use or many time use? (most of coupons with HSG is 1 time use)
I am a Prime Rewards member for CGW myself but now i am just wondering if Citi Globestopper with the welcomepack is better or the DBS/POSB promo with Prime Rewards?
Any feedback on the 'new' VPOST for Japan to SG? Pricing good? I was looking around and Japan EMS quite similar. Additionally, can ship alcohol back using VPost?
For Japan, there is Vpost and Tenso.
You will should check with the forwarder directly before trying to export/import alcohol - Vpost shipping restrictions doesn't seem to indicate any (ex Japan, im Singapore; unless it is considered flammable...) Let us know how much taxes you had to pay if you do.
I will check on tenso, because Vpost Jpn rates not competitive. Taxes I know what kind and how much.
Borderlinx is located in Dayton, Ohio, and is subject to US sales tax (currently 7.25%).
CGW is located in Portland, Oregon, and has no sales tax (0.0%) currently.
Means our purchase will be subjected to further charges with borderlinx?
