Got reply from B&H....

Still...US$64.95 is a good price...

 

[nemesis32]

Yeah... price is ok.. I dun mind the price but no time to organise the MO.

 

[bigfatfish]

Shipping for
5 pieces from B&H is US$55 for US Mail, US$60 for US Mail Global Express and US$57 for UPS Express.

10 pieces from B&H will be US$87.75 for US Mail Global Express and US$82.5 for UPS Express.

Firestone, does it work out to be better if we order from jr and shipped by vPost (any GST?)?

jr.com selling at abt US$80 so not worth it.... so most likely only B&H...

 

[nuts]

Assuming worst case scenario of 10 pieces international shipping :
(US$64.95 x10)x1.05 (GST)
+US$87.75 (international shipping)
= US$769.725 x1.7 (exchange rate)
= S$1308.5325

So approx S$130 pp

Using Vpost :
(US$64.95 x10)x1.05 (GST)
+US$21.90 (UPS 3-day)
= US$703.875 x1.7 (exchange rate)
= S$1196.5875
+ S$9.99 + (S$6.99 x10) + (S$5.99 x11) (Vpost uses volumetric weight and using 2.1kg based on figure from firestone)
= S$1336.3775

So approx S$133 pp

Worth it? Hmm.... now I'm tempted...

I've tried to order many items from B&H, and they have better shipping rate when u order more things.. I chose UPS Express, and it offers an extremely good and accurate tracking system, which clearly states your goods is at which country/airport at what time and it's purpose (transit and/or scanning). I remembered it even states it's delayed at some asia country because of bad weather! :thumbsup:

I think we shd have sufficient interest.... More people will bring down the shipping costs thats all but a lot of difference...

Bigfatfish... perhaps you can organise the MO since i am always out of town... Can start a thread in COnsumer corner already i think...

 

[firestone]

BUY! BUY! BUY!

My final report from Vpost.
$10 deducted from shipping for being Ist-time Vpost user.

S$111(jr.com)+S$15(VpostUSA shipping) = S$126
