Now buy from Japan more worth with depreciation of ￥.

S$1 = ￥82

16gig = ￥39,800 = S$486
Tenso shipping cost S$25
So Total: (S$486 + S$25) x 1.07gst = S$547.00
If factor rate difference plus S$13

Around S$560++ can get 16gig liao, did i miss out anything?

Thanks in advance.

I was about to ask on the possible GST the courier may collect.
It's the sum of handset and shipping * GST?
Curious to know how much roughly to set aside when they come knocking..

Yes, (freight + tax + insurance + declared value) + 7% + $10 (admin fee).

Was thinking just get GST for $600 ready... shouldn't exceed that amount I guess.

Shipping out on the 18th... why can't they send it out tomorrow?

Banks usually charge a % for transaction. Not direct conversion.

Should arrive by the 20th,even if they send out tomorrow also won't get before 20th due to weekends.

Thanks bro, let hope Yen continue to drop.

Jap govt oso devalue Yen to drop to boost export.

That would be fine. I was thinking it would be delivered on the 21st at best.

Yeap latest would be 21st as speedpost takes one to two working days to deliver.

Np, back then when I bought it was at 81.55 but I got charged at a 79.55 rate, bank charged me about 2.5%.

How much are you guys charged for the nexus 5 32gb? Went to check my CC statement online exclude shipping around 561.

That should be about right. It's quite safe to simply divide by 80 based on current rate. Depending on which CC you use, some bank gives better rates than others.

As for the GST, you should refer to SG Customs exchange rate when your item arrives in SG.

I got $567... DBS rate. I also bought the official case at around $50. Felt kinda ripoff, but let's see the quality. If I don't have to change casing for the entire duration of owning it, I'd say it's a fair price; the amount of money I spent on my S3 casing over 2 years is more

How long does it take in your case for Tenso to register it? Based on Yamato's tracking number, it already reached Tenso yesterday, but Tenso hasn't informed me of it yet

 

[pentagonalliance]

Got an e-mail before 6 with a tracking number.

Saw that $48/$50 case... Couldn't do it...

 

[cKm]

My friend also got tracking number but I haven't gotten it yet.

Anyway it took around 1+ working day to register my package to tenso website.

Sigh... As it stands now, I think it will take till Monday for it to get registered as their office hours have probably ended by now.

I ordered from Google on last Sunday, thinking that I might be able to avoid the weekend breaks
