question: how about items other than books or dvds? How is the vpost postage calculated? by weight? if by weight, what is the formula? can't seem to see it on the site...

thanks in advance to any kind soul who can clarify..

I find that its not very cheap actually, but it does give you a confirmed address in US which the sellers can ship to.

Just saw vPost USA put in the details of their charges (see tab on top).

Comparing it with Amazon.com's International Shipping charges:

For Books
1. Amazon : 6.99 + 4.99x (US$)
ie. 12.02 + 8.58x (S$) using exchange rate of 1.72

2. vPost USA : 4.99 + 6.99x (S$)

(1 - 2) You save 7.03 + 1.59x per book (ie. S$8.62 for a book)

For CDs/DVDs
3. Amazon : 3.99 + 2.49x (US$)
ie. 6.86 + 4.28x (S$)

4. vPost USA : 2.99 + 3.99x (S$)

(3 - 4) You save 3.87 + 0.29x per CD/DVD (ie. S$4.15 for a CD/DVD)

Quite signficant savings, right ? Not to mention if you buy from different websites and consolidate the shipping, the savings will be even more.
