With the intention to save shipping cost and the trouble of having to place orders frequently, I've placed an larger quantity order of skinscare(from USA) last week. The parcel should have arrived earlier this week but today, I received a letter in the mail from Singapore Post instead. It's an notification for payment of GST and/or Duty, aiyoh!... Suddenly, I recalled those times when I read from the forum that this is the reason why spree-organisers were splitting their orders!
No time to collect the items myself today, hopefully soon, so I can know for sure if it's only the GST that I'd have to pay 'cos based on the purchase amount, it would be more cost effective for me to split the order, pay for the international shipping cost twice as compared to having to pay for the GST. So, it'd be more 'costly' for me if I'm charged with anything else! Terrible, why must we be charged with GST on goods purchased from overseas!
