U.S Shipping Fees

Hi All!! Remember I said I will update the shipping fees when my loots reached the U.S address? They have already reached on Thursday (13.09.2012) and Comgateway (CGW) has already sent me the invoice.

My loots weigh 1.5kg, total value of $115.20. Total shipping cost USD$19.48 (free upgrade to express shipping, and after fuel surcharge and insurance). And CGW gave me total $15 credit. And there is an additional $0.84 off (I also don't know why). So total I only topped up USD3.64. (SGD4.45 for1.5kg loots).



Here are the shipping calculations:

If I never remember wrongly, CGW's 1st 500g shipping cost USD11, sub 500g cost USD2.85.

Converting them to SGD, CGW's 1st 500g shipping cost SGD13.45, sub 500g cost SGD3.48.

There will be fuel surcharges and also insurance cost. 

Fuel surcharge is 11.50% of international shipping. So this time round was USD16.70 x 11.5% = USD1.92 (SGD2.35)

Comparing with uclick2buy , 1st 500g shipping cost SGD13.00 (cheaper by SGD0.45), sub 500g cost SGD3.75 (more ex by SGD0.27)

Fuel surcharge is SGD0.50 for every 0.5kg.

After comparing, I suppose uclick2buy is a little cheaper?? Just abit but uclick2buy has promotions for POSB/DBS cardholders. (15% off). Maybe the next time round I will try to use uclick2buy!

I'm happy the loots are finally on it's way to Singapore!!! Can't wait to see baby's clothes and pack them nicely into my already-packed-nicely cupboard. Then I can see what others are required, if there are enough space in the cupboard for baby's stuffs and do further plannings from there! Hope the quality's really good and I'm sure I will be delighted to see the cute cute mini mini bodysuits!! Will take pictures of actual clothings to share!!
