Anyone actually bought expensive lens from them?

I checked the Nikon 17-55 F2.8
Lens is $1,199.95 with worldwide warranty.
Shipping to SIN (3-5 days by UPS) is $49.60.
Convert it to $S with exchange rate of 1.53, total cost is $1,911.
Cheaper than what we can get in SG.

Looking for opinions.
 

u'll need to factor in 5% GST as the purchase is >S$400.

:)
 

If the full amt is paid thru credit card and done over the Internet, UPS delivers to your doorstep, how would the govt collect the gst?
 

all goods must pass through SG customs. On the invoice of your goods, UPS will need to pay GST before customs let it pass. Then you'll pay UPS the GST.
 

Actually it depends on your luck if you have to pay GST if it's through UPS. Out of 4 deliveries I had from UPS, only once I had to pay.

Hi Vulpix0r,

How much were the items you got delivered thru UPS and did you purchase them all from B&H?

all 4 were >S$400 each??
 

I don't think there is a luck thing. Both my purchases over $400 via BHphoto.com UPS have to pay GST.
