Hi Mixcubed,

GST is 5% esp if you ship via a freight company. Cheapest freight company I've experienced is Bax Global. They handle all custom work and custom fees are passed on as part of the delivery charges.

Lowest cost of shiping is USPS (from States). No GST there.

Air freight via either solution is subject to size restrictions. You may wish to speak to freight companies and ask them.

Last option for shipping in bulk is via sea freight. Takes much, much longer but cheaper and possibly no size restrictions. If you are shipping a large number of items, then purchasing container space is the most cost effective route.

I love ordering from Ishibashi. They are so prompt and they always pack their shipment very well and their shipping charges (excluding local 5% GST/handling fees) are pretty reasonable! Ordered a few guitars from them and effects as well and the shipping time is quick too. Will be getting more Ibanez and Fender Jap from them

One small problem with them is they attach a commercial invoice with their package. When scanned at Airport Customs, they charge 5% GST and S$10 ~ 50 SURCHARGE...If there is no invoice, you can save some bucks on surcharges...

I even talked to Ishibashi..Ms. Noriko..They speak like robots...and dont understand what exactly we want them to do while invoicing... :?

 

[fibredrive]

hahahaha...yes yes i talked to Ms Noriko too. she was hilarious. did u try to talk to Mr Koeichii? that guy tries to talk with american accent wah lau i had to ask him to repeat several times to get it man...keke...but very good svc lah must say...

 

[reyrey]

if only $50 not really a problem wad, just chip in abit for ur lovey dovey fender jap, cmon, i can hear those guitars cying n chanting our name,haha,summore down here quite hard to find some fender jap model, damn limited sia

 

[ChanMin]
