Ordering from Coach
As for ordering from Coach, You will need to call them instead of ordering thru Online. This is because the website ordering process does not allow you to use International Credit card and does not ship to international address.
The amount you need to pay at Coach will be ( Product + Tax 8.25% + Shipping USD8.60)
My Case is 458 + 37.79 + 8.60= USD504.39.
Converted to SG is S$820.
But you will definitly need a US address so I used Vpost.
Shipping charges from Vpost.
Vpost charges based on Volumetric weight or actual weight whichever is higer.
The link below shows the details on how vpost charges.
https://www.vpost.com.sg/vpostusa05/intro2.html
Shipping charge is 9.99 ( base charge)+ 6.99 per kg for the first 10KG and 5.99 per KG thereafter.
My package is volumetric weight is (55x43x28)/6000=11KG
Actual weight is 3kg. As my volumetric weight is higher therefore they based on this weight to calculate my shipping charges.
My shipping charges are as below:
9.99+6.99(10)+5.99(1) = S$85.88
And GST are calculated as below
Total cost (A) US$ 458= S$733.26
Shipping Charges ( = 85.88
Total CIF © = 733.26+{(733.26 + 85.88) x 0.02} =749.64
GST 5% (D) = C x 0.05 = 37.48
Total amount I paid for Vpost = 85.88 + 37.48 = S$123.36
Total amount this bag cost me is S$820 ( After converting to SG) + S$123.36 = S$942.34
Boutique is selling this at S$1159. I save about S$215.
Hope this is clear for you all.
