Lets say I wanna buy 2 pairs of shoes from Vans. 1 slip-on and 1 sneakers. Roughly how much?

I used the cost calculator of CGW, used the weight of 9kg and it gives me shipping ard $60 and duties and taxes ard $24. Not sure is USD or SGD though.

But u guys will use CGW or borderlinx or others for buying shoes?

All prices on CGW are in USD! The exchange rates depends on the your method of payment. Use DBS cards for free upgrade to express shipping :) hope this helps.

Try shopping at amazon for those shoes & use amazon shipping?

Hi, I didn't find promotion codes for those however I did find this one myus . com / visa which will save you 25% on your first month shipping and 20% off after that with visa card That might save you some money on shipping.

pissed off by comgateay

i am really pissed off comgateway, dont know why they are treating Indians as scammers, a request to all Indians never use their service :(

Dont know why they have problem with them, i ordered 8 costly items to my suited costing 4k+, ordered 4 items to my house paying via a virtual credit card.

The next day i see they had closed my account without any information, on contacting via live chat, they tell me they found my credit card payment is suspicious, even though they didn't receive a charge-back or some case on that payment, also the shipment is delivered to my house.

Even though after following them since 1 week, giving them proof of my bank account, virtual credit card screen, and even SS of transaction page where it shows amount has been charged towards comgateway, they are not ready to reinstate my account, and had started threatening that they will return my package to ebay sellers from where it had came, and i know all sellers has already received their payment, now they will take the item also and runaway :(.

I don't understand, what they think, that i will scam them of 60$ of shipment fee, when i already have 2k$ worth item with them, and their customer service is also pathetic especially Mary, she keeps me on hold for 1 hr, and then says she will get back to me via email, and then no further reply.

I really want to ask CG, should i now email you my bank id pass, birth certificate, PR certificate, in order to get my account reinstated ??

You'll still be paying more even with a 20-25% discount on myus.com rates.

MyUS cost for shipping a 10lbs package (Standard): USD89.46
Borderlinx cost for shipping the same package (Standard): USD41.86
CGW cost for shipping the same package (Standard, non-prime): USD42.20

Basically, their gimmick is in doubling the shipping rate. As such, it would seem you'll almost always pay more with them.

dclk_dude seems suspiciously like myus.com staff, sent to discretely advertise their services.

if i buy $200 item from amazon and $200 item from bhpvideo and ship via either of them (cgw,border,vpost) together , will i be charged gst ?

GST is based on total or each item ?

Vpost calculation is based on per package.

Different scenarios play a part to the calculation.

Eg.
Your Amazon package is US$200 worth of value and has a shipping fee worth of US$30.
Your bhpvideo package is US$200 worth of value and has a shipping fee of US$200.

Assuming that you ship both packages together, only your bhpvideo package will be taxed at (US$200 item cost + US$200 shipping cost + Insurance if applicable) * 7% GST. Your Amazon package will not be affected by the tax. On top of that, you pay one-time based charge for every shipment.

What a junk comgateway is, there reason for my account closing is

According to them, they can close your as* whenever they want and keep your costly items with them.Do they have a dream that my account is compromised, they dont have any answer for it, and top of the line they are saying to return items to ebay sellers.

WTF, they butchers are going to take my items and run away :(

What exactly did you do? It's not unusual for a business to take steps to protect themselves if they believe something out of the ordinary is occurring; as long as it doesn't happen often, and can be clarified what the issue may be.

I had just ordered 8 phones to my suite, all are same phones from Ebay

shipped 4 to my house, payed via virtual credit card 60$, and then they closed my account saying they thing it might be suspicious. Those 4 items are already delivered to my house.

I had provided them with my bank statement, virtual credit card transaction statement, as well as the original card screen shot also, still they are not telling me the actual reason for closing account, and saying just suspicious :(

dont know, how i will get refund of those 4 items, if they return it back to the ebay sellers :(

and now they are not even responding to me on live chat

Is your VCC from a Singapore bank? If it isn't, and you're shipping your items to Singapore, they have good reason to shut down your account for suspected fraud.

If both your CC, and shipping address are from the same country, then it shouldn't be an issue.

If CGW accepts payment via Paypal (HopShopGo, which is CGW rebranded does). Perhaps you could pay though that channel instead.

If Paypal won't accept your India-VCC, then there is no reason why CGW should either. Otherwise, try getting a real CC instead.

I thought of saving money from PP $ conversion, Also PP accept Indian vcc, i directly paid using CGW CC gateway

Can't give you any other advice with CGW here, as we're mostly Singapore based. Perhaps you could try find if there is a similar India technology forum to request for assistance.

You can change PP's default setting of using their exchange rate, to using your CC's exchange rate instead:

Login to Paypal:
Profile
My Money
My Pre-approved payments-update
Set available funding sources
Conversion Options
Bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice-Submit

You have to do this for every individual CC that you have linked with them.
