i found PRouter speed ok for those times i used. Only issue i have with them is their classification of certain things as sensitive vs 4px. However i will use them for those non-electronic things vs 4px as they are cheaper and service /timing seems good as well.

u mean u hv told them your items are sensitive ah?

yaloh is no good loh, tats y i nvr use agents for now.. :s12:

now i buy direct from TB loh... use the forwarder, cheaper as it goes by actual weight, not vol weight:D:D

then you must know what can/cannot be ship and what abt sensitive items, can it even be ship directly?

u got the link to the post? I dont think that's going to happen, because Singpost got 20% stakes in 4px.

News dates back to 2011

Once u topup. U go taobao/alipay webby to activate yr topup card
They will give u clear instruction via email when u purchase top card. But do note it can be used only for tb purchases. U cant use alipay to transfer $ to pple

Read ur PM, I know what you mean. Hope Skycart get bigger and stronger. With competitions, we buyers will only stand to gain :evil::D
haha, thank you very very much for understanding. one day we will get there too *flex arms*

Skycart, how come your volumetric weight calculation is divided by 5000 whereas other shippers like 65, is divided by 6000? Like tat even if 65 charges shipping based on 10% more shipping weight, likely still to be less :s13:
hello! we actually did a calculation on this 5000/6000 thing back in november.

Yo. Thanks. Your current shipping rate is $1.35 for sea? Did not see anything abt discounted rate of $1.08.

no more discount liao lah, back to 1.35/500g.. the chart skycart mentioned it was during the 11.11 promotion.

normal sea rate is $1.35/500g

Yup $1.35/500g up to 30kg, after that of course is cheaper. The chart was from 11.11~

I'm confused as to why the reply will feature a shipping rate that is no longer relevant mah, tats why i clarified.

So based on the 30x30x30cm package example, skycart will impose a higher shipping charge due to a higher volumetric weight as a result of using a 5k base compared to other shipper's use of 6k base ... assuming same rate of $1.35/500g AND even taking into account other shipper's 10% vol weight overcharge.

Of cos, ultimately, the overall cost will likely to be lower due to Skycart's absorbing service/agent fee n GST for this period.
