For those who’s always asking me how to buy a Kindle, this is how.
Three years ago there was a VPOST party in Singapore. Theme was anything starting with the letters VPOST so I went as a Virgin bride WTF.
I won best dressed ok!!! (I think Fats went as Popstar lolol)
Basically VPOST is a service which lets people buy stuff online from overseas websites which don’t ship to your country!
So basically if you’ve got problems like wanting to buy something but it’s not available in Malaysia, or it’s available here but more expensive than online, or they don’t ship internationally, or shipping charges are super expensive, then you can try VPOST!
VPOST will set up a personalized shipping address for you in US, Europe or Japan so you can order from any of those coutnries.
Just as simple as this wtf.
Some reasons to use vPOST – lower shipping fees, no tax, and repackaging service to reduce weight and cost.
As far as I know, Amazon doesn’t ship to Malaysia yet, so this is how you do it.
Sign up with VPOST, and they’ll set up a shipping address for you in US. Order your Kindle from Amazon and send it to the address and VPOST will send it over to you for a certain fee.
i thought of Mummy Ooi. Mummy Ooi is obsessed with American pharmacies and spent like all her shopping time in Walgreen’s the last time she was there.
So I thought better ask her if she wanted stuff from US since she’s always asking me to buy back vitamins for her when i was there *dark
Sure enough she found something.
This is called the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care set which comes with a device to exfoliate and massage your skin for softer, smoother and firmer skin on face and body.
This is actually available at Sephora in Malaysia! (but costs RM800+)
I found the same thing for much cheaper on Amazon (USD30+) #winning
Then for myself I think Imma get this:
:3
Cos my speakers now got high pitched whinging sound very annoying.
Cannot wait for items to arrive!

Hmm. Yr fiancee looks like he’s dressed as Parappa the rappa.
hey, fourfeet? just out of curiosity, why do you disable comments after a certain number of days?
Whoa! But don’t you need a US billing address when you buy things online or would that be the same as the shipping address that they provide for you?
Out of curiosity, does this work for shipping to the US from Japan?
don’t know whether this vpost can pass though our malaysia custom. my order from US worth USD350 burnt just like that because of the custom is ‘so knowlegeable’ on foreign items.
Hi Aud, am interested in the Clarisonic. Couldn’t seem to find it for USD$30+ in Amazon. Would you be able to share the site that you did? Will try VPost with it then. Thanks!
Or just buy from LYN – http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2201232/all
You bought the clarisonic for 30+ usd?? That’s dirt cheap! I bought my Mia2 for 129 usd. Now I feel bad for paying more. =(
Audrey, can you please put the link for the $30 clarisonic thing on Amazon? 🙂 Thank youu!
VPost seems like a really good idea to use it to buy and ship stuff from Overseas, is it available in Singapore?
hey Aud, referring to alice-jane’s post, yeah, i would like to know if billing address same as shipping address as it doesn’t have malaysia…:(
omg thank youuuuu!
i was just discussing with my friend about this the other day, about getting a US address.
will try it out. thanks =D
i’ve used vpost. they suck. everyone who has tried them knows this. it really shows how shyt your integrity is for doing an advertorial for them.
abraxis: hahaha i think he went as P for Popstar
sirene: to prevent spam. if i keep all my posts open for commenting, spam just comes in non-stop on all posts. this way the amount of junk coming in is controllable
alice-jane: no i used my malaysian credit card! i’m not sure but you can check the website 🙂
cindyrina: oh noes D: it seems like an issue with our customs then, rather than what service 🙁
ck, charis & fiona: don’t feel bad i should be the one feeling bad 🙁 i just realized mine isn’t the clarisonic brand WTF it’s another brand which is why it’s a lot cheaper. i also got it from amazon though and my mom likes it so far. sorry D:
mindy: yea i think it’s a singaporean company!
yeow: can ah i used my malaysian credit card!
comparative eye: yea my things arrived safely! only thing is i think you should try shipping things together or you might have to pay a higher shipping fee.
rachel: well your comment shows what a shitty troll you are. judging from the comments here, nobody else but you “knows that vpost sucks”. if you had a bad experience, i’m sure we’d all appreciate it if you shared it here so everyone can evaluate it fairly. my advertorial wasn’t a review and i definitely did not lie on it, it was informing people about this particular service. i’d really welcome honest feedback on their service and i’m sure vpost would too. all you did is just say they suck without any proof or explanation to back it up. ugh your trolling is just gross.
Rachel,alleging that one sells her integrity, is a serious and strong charge. Its one thing to comment on the service level. But now, you are making accusations on the person. Can you make your accusation stick?
