Sharing my experience with CGW.
Shipped to their warehouse around christmas shopping period.
Got $10 free CGW dollars for black friday and 10 more for adding DBS card as payment option. Also as you see in the pic, 10% more off for dbs card also. Also because I signed up and didn't ship immediately, I got an email discount coupon ENJOYTEN. (u can try n use this)
Was going to buy only 1 item, but then total shipping cost was less than $30, and can't do much with the remainder credits. So i added another item to just go over $30.
I also used their 3 free live quote for black friday, but their estimate is really overestimate for footwear, so actually don't need.
Free upgrade to express because either black friday or dbs card, cannot remember. Repack fee was $7 because the outer box was too big.
In the follow up email respose to feedback they also said
in the event that an item is safe to be transferred into polybag by discarding the external box packaging, you may send us a request via email or Live Chat. This will result to savings on shipping cost as you will be charged for the actual weight instead of volumetric weight.
In addition, please be advised that performing a repack will involve a repacking fee. The standard repack fee for transfers to polybags cost US$ 5.00 (Lite) or US$ 3.00 (Prime) for each package.
so $2 cheaper if you dont want to keep the cardboard box.
Item received 1st jan, 5 days earlier than promised.
In the end shipping was less than SGD6. Good deal, but I doubt I will find it again. Do other shipping forwarders have good deals for first time members like this one?
