Receive and Forward Postal Service

How hard can this be. Well it appears to be super expensive in some cases.

I got a shock when vPOST (which i have always used) charged me 52 SGD for sending my package to me from the US.

Scenario, my package:


Volmetric Weight : 4.7 kg    Actual Weight : 2.1 kg
Dimension : 47.0X 36.0X 14.0 cm


Hence i shall try to get some quotes for each of the known Service provider out there is see which does it at the best rates.

Vendor Cost
VIAddress 4-6 Days - SGD 46.96 *
2-3 Days - SGD 55.24 *
Borderlinx 4-6 Days - SGD 48.93 *
2-3 Days - SGD 65.01*
VPOST S$47.52 (including 10% discount)
Comgateway 5-8 Days -  SGD 49.96*
3-4 Days - SGD 59.71*
* Converted amount is subjected to Credit Card Transaction Charges.

Hmmm now i know my unhappiness is unfounded.... The cost for shipping at VPOST is not that bad. Just that it takes a long time for their package to arrive.
