Vpost? Borderlinx? Comgateway?

[flexicon]

Thanks realised it too late. gae kiang on trying myus.

my question to senior guys here, if i insist not to pay, will they do anything to pursue? i already gotten my items already but payment not made. hahaha...

Should i just heck care them? Not willing to pay them.

THanks for the information. Will stick to CGW or try the cheaper alternatives shared in this thread moving forward.

read their T&C lor. shld be okay. just pretend you received none of their communications. they shldnt have shipped your stuff without charging your card. noobs.

hmm you're right. looks like GSHIP and 65daigou are cheepcheep.
meanwhile vpost is right down the middle in terms of price, and CGW/blinx are abit more ex due to strong USD.

i did a quick comparison below, but it excludes things like insurance. so far CGW (for me) is the most slack on claims, and fastest.. but vPost you can sneak things in past them. borderlinx is... depends on their mood. they called a $20 necklace "jewellery" once.. and banned me from shipping it.

oh well hope this helps!

hello there
this is an awesome post, have you taken account the CC discounts that are on offer or service >> price for you?
im not discrediting ur post btw ><

 

[vofzxy]

my own analysis inspired by feist_, please credit him for the original post

"The voucher code can be utilised for vPostUSA, vPostCHINA, vPostJAPAN and vPostEUROPE shipping services, excluding fuel surcharges."

20% discount on shipping but NOT fuel surcharge

hahaha thank you! maybe we need some sort of google sheets - but i don't wanna use my account because..it's.. private. lemme know if there's an anon worksheet somewhere where we can contribute! (i rmb someone shared before, but i cldnt find it)

and for card discounts, not in the excel sheet above, i didn't, cos they vary with time. if i use borderlinx, i use citi rewards (because of the awesome miles), if i use CGW, i use DBS Altitude for 10% off. quite negligible.

then i don't use vpost because they're horrible horrible people who seem to want to help the company, not help customers.

and then we are left with the 2 local newcomers, at least one of whom messed up last black friday - i'll be watching them...

do all these able to purchase a custom design shoes from nike iD?

 

[agent_719]

Background: first time using forwarding services and first time using 65daigou. Bought a watch from amazon but requires a forwarding company to ship it to sg

Question: i followed 65daigou guide and input the address they provided for the item to ship to their warehouse. However the name of the address i put the name they provided. There is another statement below which states " please ensure your merchant to write the correct name and address on your parcel. We will not be responsible for any missing or lost parcels if any of the information is missing or written wrongly".

Should I change the name to my name or continue with 65daigou name provide? It is very confusing for me..

Thanks in advance

Use the 65daigou name, else the 65daigou USA warehouse will not be able to match it to you.

I input my actual name once and it took me many emails to convince the 65daigou that the package belongs to me.

Does 65daigou have a suite ID system, similar like GShipExpress, Vpost, CGW has ?

I never used 65daigou before. So asking here.

Yup, should be how they differentiate the packages. My China and Taiwan forwarding address with them all have a 5-letter ID at the end. For the US address the same ID is ar the end of the name.

i have actually deviated to shopping at all sorts of other stores with better currency.. like..AU......UK..Canada for that, one day i'll try aramex. haha hopefully they dont screw up.

 

[djork84]

Unsure if anyone using borderlinx nowadays. Too unhappy with cgw hence ship to borderlinx. Realised I'm stuck registered as uob member (only can pay with uob card) . Any idea what good it does and any code nowadays?

I bought an iPhone casing and a cardholder on Amazon. Just checked the express shipping tracking system that the packages were sent to Incheon. Dhl used to transit at Hong Kong, why now they stop at S Korea..? There is a difference in time of over 2 hours!
