Nobody tried Airfrov?

So far feel that 65 daigou and airfrov best.

Troublesome thing for airfrov is have to wait for traveller to make an offer and not sure how much exactly to pay to traveller.

CGW BuyForMe Service

Hi,

I am exploring using the BuyForMe service for a few pairs of shoes from Nike.com. I'm comtemplating using CGW, is there any hidden costs that I need to take note of?

Thank you!

BFM 5% of item cost. That's all. It's stated on CGW.

For 65DG,

Is there any sales tax?

Thank you!

I need to receive the shoes within the next 3 weeks, is this a reasonable expectation?

Nike.com does not allow shipping to forwarder? If they don't have such policy, you should just make the purchase yourself and ship it to forwarder. It will be faster this way.

3 weeks may be quite tight, but you can try your luck, because I don't know how long Nike needs to process, ship the order plus the shipping time.

I don't think so. This is what I got from the Nike site:

US Nike.com orders can be shipped to the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii and APO/FPO addresses. Nike doesn't currently ship to US territories (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, Midway Islands, American Samoa, and Federated States of Micronesia), international reshippers, or businesses that forward packages to international addresses.

anyone got borderlinx coupon...

shipping is about $100 USD.. damn painful

 

[batboyz]

USD$100 for shipping is fine if you got valuable items (which also includes GST)/many items in one shipment/heavy items.

I paid around USD$150 for shipping last week, which included around USD$77 for GST. I also just paid around USD$115 this morning with around USD$43 for GST.

I notice that cgw and borderlinx are more expensive than last time despite the oil price down and heavy compeittion from AMZ

 

[MVCPattern]

My item cost only $150 USD.. spend 100 USD for shipping crap lor.

Don't ever ship to borderlinx. you will regret!

You can try GShipExpress for Nike purchase.
But you need to use their Shop4ME services. They will buy for you and ship to your GShipExpress suite address.

gshipexpress use DHL? will take how many days to reach sg?

automatic repack? or must send email to request?

Yes, think fastest I got is 2 days.

All package will have repack 1 time by default.
If you think can repack further, you just sent email to request 2nd time repack.
Best of all.. repacking FOC.

But take note, they do not do repack many packages into 1.
I tried but got reject. Need to read their repacking policy.

apart from vpost, are there any services that offer sea shipping from USA?

I need to warn you guys about comgateway unethical business tactics.

I have issues with comgateway 2 months ago, in which, they return all my parcels back to Amazon.

When the parcels have been returned, the refund should be credited to back to my Amazon accounts. In this case, I have contacted Amazon about the refunds, which were being issued last month. Yes, they have issued the refund, but not to my Amazon account, but to comgateway's Amazon account. In Amazon's own words, comgateway has requested the refund to be credited to their Amazon account.

This is being unethical and money stolen from me. Potential customer(s), beware.

PM to comgateway in hardwarezone is not being replied as well.

 

[feist_]

how is this even possible?

they would've have had to create a payment to comgateway instead of refunding it - a whole new accounting process.

well at least now we know you were kidding when you said they stole your parcels hehe

wow first time using Vpost, very good experience.

This was my shipment (screen shot as of today):

Expected delivery earliest - 30 Oct..
Then just now while I was outside I got a call from Singpost delivery guy..said got a parcel for me. I was wondering what parcel since I didn't expect to receive anything these few days..Anyway, I told him to leave the parcel at my doorstep. To my surprise, the parcel was the above shipment. Impressed by the speed.. especially since I have read quite a fair bit of negative comments about Vpost. The delivery guy was good, he called me and when I didn't pick up the call (was driving) he sms me about the delivery. He even snapped a pic of where he hid the parcel in front of my door and sent it to me. lol. Thumbs up!

The parcel:

Note: Initially I wanted to use Borderlinx but found out that now Amazon charged sales tax for Ohio so I switched to Vpost to try their service.
