Any feedback??

For straight forward shipments, they are ok.
If you want to save, and have a package which might be all air and box and want to save a bit by getting someone to re-pack it, over at the xtremeplace.com forum, there is a member called Peter Seow, who can ship items for you.

Many hi fi members ship items like speakers, amplifiers etc from USA.

my god..... i bought quite few items, lucky yet to buy 9 x 11 feet back ground from USA...

my items yet to reflect in VPOST after i login.... 5 days liao....

if too expensive, will use borderlinx.... heard cheaper...

how to?

if the items are already on the way to Vpost USA, and you want to redirect it to another company? pay here and there, you sure can save money?

Its stated that they use 'volumetric' weight, that is.. they calculate weight based on volume, or actual weight, whichever is heavier.
Despite the common accusation of 'robbing' the customer, this is actually very logical considering that they use airfreight, which is constrained by weight and volume, as opposed on sea freight.

buying backdrop by USA and u ship it here?
i think your freight cost gonna be 2-3x more than your product
u can only consider if your merchant or u have ways to do it via sea

the thing about online shipping is u cannot buy items that are too small or too big
as most of the time is never worth it. also have to depend how your merchant decide to pack the item

You got up to 21 days to consolidate until they start charging you for warehousing fees... :sweatsm: good luck!
