Those of us who shop online know that many websites in the U.S., Europe, and Japan don’t ship to Singapore. And even if you buy from those that do ship internationally, you may end up paying more for shipping than the cost of your entire bill.
A good way of going around this is to sign up for a concierge service such as HopShopGo, Borderlinx, or V post.
Once you’ve signed up with one, you will be assigned an address in the U.S. where your products will be delivered and then forwarded to you.
In cases when a merchant does not accept credit cards from outside the U.S., the concierge service will purchase these products on your behalf and charge your Singapore credit card in U.S. dollars.
In the long run, these services can save you quite a bit of money.
