MO for books from Amazon - Books are here!!

[Darren]

For all those who ordered in the first MO, the books just arrived today - with the exception of Workbook of Photographic Techniques, which will be sent in a separate shipment. If they arrive before SEED, I will update.

Please be at the SEED next Wednesday to collect.

I will be updating the pricing to take into account the following:-
Citibank Exch Rate - S$1.82:US$1
GST + DHL Handling Fee - S$34.68

The spreadsheet will be updated over the weekend. Please check before collecting to make sure you have the correct amount ready (its okay to pay more )

i am just giving you what Citibank charges my credit card for the transaction. :dunno:

Well known that cc rates are different from bank spot rates.

Oh well, at least there're still some savings over buying them from Borders or Kino.

BTW, just checked CitiBank : USD is currently 1.7463 to 1 leh, or am I missing something? :dunno:

Update: slight mistake on my part - the exch rate is S$1.80:US$1

Citibank online summary shows S$880.01 charged for the Amazon order (of US$488.23) ~ S$1.80 exch rate.

As I said earlier, cc rates are different from bank spot rates. For those who disbelieve, I can show you the cc statement next Wednesday.

..... so difficult, next time ckiang can do the MO ;p ........

Its true that CC rates are LOT higher...

[Darren]

all,

here is the Balance to pay for the books :-

tomshen - $28.00
charvy - $52.00
firefox13 - $80.00
extreme2 - $69.00
yeppie99 - $19.00
rumraisin - $144.00
ckiang - $56.00
reddawn - $74.00
willyfoo - $28

All figures have been rounded up to the nearest dollar, otherwise I will be collecting lots of 1-cent coins



For those who cannot make it to SEED today, please let me know by 4pm - I don't want to be lugging a 20kg box of books back and forth.
