Too bad for the buyer then ..if it is 375USD :)
Will get GST impose ..
Normally anything under 280USD will be safe .. cause (280 USD + 20 USDshipping) * 1.26 exchange rate .. well under 400 Sing dollar :)

Wow ... that's good information Lim but sucks for buyer, if he bought it through ebay then seems he would have thought to tell me to claim only $25 as I'm not sure if I should be expected to know GST for over 100 different countries.

Oh well ... like I said its not a high value item so I'm not worried but hope the buyer gets it safely, seems he should since Singapore is not like I'm shipping it to Ethiopia or Botswana :D

Just too bad for the buyer not to inform you .. Not your fault as every country have different rules and regulation .. Maybe buyer think you will under declare :) .
Or maybe he will not get his package as a rock might be there instead ..hahahah. just joking ..

Singapore is pretty safe in posting just that human error most of the time ..
Also we jail people for stealing and plus some canning if repeated offences.. So postman are well behave here . Never see on news postman being investigate for stealing mails and parcel . Singapore is a small country so this type of news will be headlines news if it ever happend . :P

By the way , i think the fastest Register Article i ever do is shipping to japan .. Post on Monday and buyer receive on thursday . :)

Yea they should start doing that kinda $h!t here in USA ... right at this minute I know a few people who need some canning.

Also Registered I know is fast but from here in US I dont know anything faster than fedex ... I can ship to the opposite side of the planet in only 4 days.

I'm shipping an NGC graded gold panda to Singapore ...

I was just curious as to how secure is shipping to Singapore and should I foresee any issues?

I've shipped plenty international but not to Singapore yet, also should I declare full value? Mostly buyers request that I do not declare full value. I would want to do what is best for buyer but have not gotten a response yet.

Thanks in advance ! :)

if you ship USPS use the flat box, and bubble wrapped, then tap all over.

many times package were open in the US, then when arrived, they got hole in the box, and content can go missing. :/

declare less than the $250 will help buyer, and insurance cover will be sufficient for the seller as well.

(if you declare more than that, problem is buyer will have to go and buy this thing call 'GST' and travel all the way to the customs office to get the parcel, which may not be so convenient for buyer)
without this GST, buyer will get his parcel in the mail box.

the postal workers here are contracts workers, so we would not be able to catch them for stealing if they did, and items gone missing without a trace. :rolleyes:
 
In my banknotes collecting days, I have posted cash to many countries, including Saudi Arabia without problem.

I also have bought banknotes from some Middle East countries, including Iran.

During that time, the postal carrier who give me the most trouble is USPS. For many years, I was so scared to buy anything from USA.

Then things really have changed since 2 or 3 years ago. Now USPS is one of the safest for me. I really like USPS now.

Today I am very happy. A USPS registered mail posted on 20-march has "gone" missing, and I have given up hope. It turned up today. Was "missent to CMEC Philippines".
 
Just got this in the mail... awesome US seller :P
