I think u need to offer a bit more to entice ppl...paying someone 3 dollar for them to carry the omiyage from Japan..and to meet u for the collection and not to mention the FX flactuation....

hi TS, the cost is more than S$22 unless bought within the immigration area.

nonetheless, hope you are able to find someone to help you purchase. :)

***

1 box of original - ¥1,029
1 box of Banana Roar - ¥1,080
http://www.tokyobanana.jp/products/index.html#products-banana

today's exchange rate - 11.98
http://arcademoneychangers.com.sg/ratesbiglogo.asp

total: S$25.27

***

S$25 = 11.85 exchange rate
S$22 = 10.43 exchange rate

can't recall the airport prices (and they may not have the whole range) but if you exclude the consumption tax, probably still need to have bought yen at an exchange rate of approx 11.3 and better to be able to pay approx S$22.

Hi. Yes. That's why looking for people to buy within immigration area when coming back. I see.
Then how bout I think people who can help me offer me? Then I can know their rates and stuff. Because this price gauge I from other people. Not so sure abt individuals exchange rate.

I thought it's available in SG for 30 plus?

I mean, even though you aren't actually underpaying at $30, considering the percentage mark up, but doubt much ppl will actually want to help just to earn that $3, no offence, but I also understand no one will want to pay like $40 for it either.

You can get them in Singapore. I think 313 or shopping center next to it has it. (one of the basement shop).

Base on last year NOV. Airport is much cheaper.
