What eejal brought up made me double check the shipping rates again... and now I'm wondering if it's actually cheaper to bypass vpost and just get Amazon to ship directly to our doorstep?!
Amazon rates for shipping to Asia is US$8 per shipment, plus US$2 per pound (cheapest and slowest option, rounded up). vpost rates is S$13.24 base charge plus S$9.16 per kg. And to use vpost, we'll still need to pay for shipment to the USA vpost address.
Or am I using the wrong numbers to do this comparison?
Anyway, eejal, it does seem like shipping the K20D over is quite a good deal! The price of US$999 for the body is realistic, it's not a scam of any kind, if that's what you're worried about. Just have to work out all the shipping fees and taxes.
