Any comment on 65diagou?

I planned to buy some stuff from the US.
So it 65diagou the cheapest at the moment? But self collect?
Thanks.
Not really,
cgw/vpost per 0.5 kg rate is $3 after ave 20% card discount + 5% cashback/rewards, but with base rate of US$11
65dg is $4.50 /500gms. with no promo/cashback payment modes, but no base charge. (currently 15% off for BF period only).

Accounting for other fuel surcharges/insurance costs, the breakpoint is 4kg (under 4kg, good for 65dg). Thier website/declare/payment system a little more hassle too.

My personal guideline:
small consolidated shipemnts <S300 - CGW/hsg (gst on whole shipment CIS)
medium consolidated shipments >$300 - vpost (gst on single item CIS only)
small single/few items (total under 4vkg : 65dg

catch ball?

COme come...share share lobang from AMEX and myUS:

AMEX50

Anyone use their service before?
iirc , they are positioned more for expat re-location , good for big/bulk furniture/effects shipment. Our peanuts parcels not worth and ex- with them.

Thanks for detailed sharing.

I have 3x500ml tub of cream to buy in Drugstore. If i use daigou, it will be cheapest among cgw/dhl/vpost tio bo? Never tried 65dg before, maybe i can give it a shot??

@ touchme:

I wanted to buy 1 item and it is < 4KG, so i use 65diagou?

Product Dimensions: 18.6 x 3.3 x 8.3 inches
Shipping Weight: 4 pounds

What is the shipping cost (in SGD) if using 65diagou?
I heard they are using volumetric weight but i don't know how to calculate.

18.6 x 3.3 x 8.3 inches into cubic cm will be
47.24 x 8.382 x 21.082 cm = 8347.7484

65daigou volumetric calculation is divided by 6000 so ur chargeable volumetric weight for 65dg is 1.3912kg

cgw volumetric calculation is divided by 5000 so it is 1.669kg and they ROUND IT UP to nearest 500g, so they will charge u 2kg. Then 9% fuel surcharge, and then insurance.

Shipping small amounts of facial products

Hi, does anyone know if there would be any problems if I ship a few small bottles of facial products (i.e Sunblocks, clear serums... etc)? Or would they probably be stuck at the customs? Im planning to buy Khiel's sunblock and "Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution" (liquid in glass bottle) and ship them through comgateway. Thanks!

You can refer to this under Delivery for the mode of collection.

There are Neighborhood Collection - Free of charge (only for parcels < 10KG), MRT Collection - Free of charge (only for parcels < 8KG), Warehouse Self Collection - Free of charge (only for parcels < 25KG) and Home Delivery (chargeable regardless of any weight).

Just some info for anyone considering buying from Motorola US.

comGateway/HopShopGo addresses are black listed by Motorola. Ordered a Moto X 2nd Gen to be shipped to my HopShopGo address and order got cancelled later on during processing. Response from Motorola CS was that this is a known address for a freight forwarding company, and that Motorola doesn't allow it.

I don't know which other services are not allowed, but these two certainly aren't.

Is there any promo code for comgateway this month?

Shipping a motherboard from Amazon (this item doesn't ship to Singapore). Their Livequote says it'll be about $40. Anyone with experience shipping a motherboard from Amazon?
