OMG WTH.

My shipping using vPOSTUSA will cost me SGD$50.53. If I'd shipped Internationally from the merchant it'd only have cost me US$7 more. Hell, even at the merchant's old exorbitant rate it'd have been S$18 cheaper.

That's it - I refuse to use them anymore. This is even worse than being fined.

I was wondering whether, on Friday, to go for a concert I was planning to, but someone wisely commented that "your luck sounds in a rut, i suggest skipping the concert. you'll probably get mugged by a skinhead"


"Dear Gabriel,

Please be informed that the shipping charge for item categorised under "Others" is $9.99 + $6.99 per kg for the first 10 kg and $5.99 per kg thereafter based on volumetric weight or actual weight whichever is higher. Volumetric weight is calculated by (Length X Breadth X Height)/366 where the dimensions are in inches; or (Length X Breadth X Height)/6000 where the dimensions are in centimeters.

Although the actual weight for your package is 2.9kg. The size is 68X32X16 cm/6000, which is equivalent to 5.8kg in volumetric weight; hence, the chargeable weight is 5.8kg."
