Would anyone know a way of purchasing an online store item from a Singapore Online store and getting it to Aus. I can't purchase it here on the website. Someone would need to purchase for me and then ship it to me. The online store offers free shipping to the domestic Singapore address. Its for a Fathers day gift. Nominal amount for item $80SG. Not an illegal item. Just that website wont send to international address.

Any ideas anyone. I don't have any friends or family living there.

The supplier of the item have confirm they wont send outside of Singapore. I have tried Lazada and Tangs. They don't ship outside of Singapore either. The supplier is only exclusively selling it in that region only.

    Risky proposition.

    • Melb69 on 10/08/2019 - 14:57

      Yeah. I suspect it's not going to happen as it means I have to trust the person not to run off with the money and not send the item. Its hard enough trying to get a friend to organise it that are there. Was just hoping someone had an idea. There is an website, but that is only for Singaporians to organise purchases. Done by requests or offering your services to bring stuff.

    airtasker…?

    • Melb69 on 10/08/2019 - 15:09

      Would that person be living in Singapore? I think it won't work for task organised in Aus with that platform. Tried it on the Aus one and wont allow you to put Singapore as location for action.

    Have you googled "shipping forwarder Singapore"?

    Or go on Reddit, and to the Singapore page and ask there

      Thanks will try that.

    Scoot airlines, round trip.

    • Melb69 on 10/08/2019 - 15:35

      The Forwardbuy.com seems to be the go. It would be a lot cheaper than Scoot. But roughly looking like the same cost in postage cost as the item. They only have DHL as cheapest postal option. Anyone used Forwardbuy.com?

    How much are you willing to offer for the service?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2019 - 16:45

      Good question.

        Negotiable. At the end of the day if the costs are to high for me or too low for the other party it will just not work.

    I live in Singapore but would definitely want to understand more before committing to being able to help you with this.

    • Melb69 on 10/08/2019 - 18:32

    If you tell us what the product is, someone might be able to tell you where you can get it locally…

    • Melb69 on 10/08/2019 - 20:07

      You can get it locally. Just not specifically this limited edition version.

  • profar on 10/08/2019 - 18:45

      No worries about death penalty. It item isn't on the black list.

  • Brendoo on 11/08/2019 - 17:51

    What is the item? Maybe it’s available in another country that will ship overseas, Or someone may know a seller in Australia.

    • Melb69 on 11/08/2019 - 18:40

      It's a limited edition item. Similar available in Aus. Just not the one I am after otherwise I would just get the one here.
