Ya import tax is GST. The price of SGD 1,000 is inclusive of GST.

This is what you’ll pay if you order from Amazon UK:

Item Subtotal: £499.17
Postage & Packing: £22.26
Import Fee Deposit: £36.50
Order Total: £557.93

“Import Fee Deposit” of GBP36.50 is likely GST because it’s exactly 7% of the phone price + shipping.

u need to submit a claim for the headphones, and do they even mail it out of uk/ireland? if not how r u gonna get it?

i was reading some of the T&Cs and it did mentioned a UK mailing address (which can get via vpost etc)

but given the pricing of the bose headphones seems like better off just getting from glove which appear to be cheaper (just for the phone la, ignoring the bose headphones)

think shouldnt be a problem, pre-order is until 15 oct. by then i think they will cancel. if clover decided not to cancel (which i doubt), at least u can cancel from amazon.

but need to wait for refund to go back to your bank acc la, if u conscious about this then dont cancel. but u are spending more ultimately

if you don't mind sharing, how much did ordering via clove uk cost you (inc shipping etc) and excluding import taxes/gst?

always choose to use the website local currency, cos they will use ridiculous forex rates if using non-local currency.
