Again, I repeat for the sake of everyone. I paid GST for the ONE flash that I bought.

FL-600R US266, or US299?

so paid the UPS guy $32.46 + $10 = $42.46?

 

[ageha]

FL-600R US266, or US299?

so paid the UPS guy $32.46 + $10 = $42.46?

Haha, 299 USD, already corrected.
Yes, actually I paid him $42.45.

so total you paid for flash is US299 + 42.46 = US341.46 which is about $444
$444 + $42.45(COURIER gst) = 486.45.

any idea how should i collect if i order but no one at home?
normally i will collect from Singapore Post if no cost incurred, but this case must pay when collecting the item.

No, you can ship it via USPS, in that case SingPost will deliver it or you can collect it from Paya Lebar and pay there.

sorry, i seldom order item online and never order from BHPHOTO before, what is USPS?
do not really understand the procedure if delivery failed.

If you are talking about GF lightsphere, yes.

USPS = The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service)
You will get a letter with an invoice from SingPost once it arrived at the Paya Lebar post office but it's faster to track it online and go there yourself once it arrived, pay the bill and take it home. Unfortunately USPS is really slow and unreliable, the tracking is aweful but it will arrive in the end.
If you choose a private courier like UPS or DHL it will be faster obviously and if you're not home you can arrange a re-delivery.

I hope Gary Fong's Lightsphere Universal Cloud works too. Will give it ago later...

 

[ddwmk2002]

I am using GF collapsible universal Lightsphere. Never try fitting the non-collapsible, cloud II onto FL600R. But the sales guy at CP counter say it fit as well.

 

[Evilmerlin]

Very good! Thanks for the info.

 

[ayuready]

bros, just wondering the local price. any body know to see if it warrants direct shipping?

 

[subisisniki]

Local price is 590 to 620.

Finally my mass order thread is up. Anyone wants to join me?
