If not for the fact that I am waiting for my Hungarian scope, I would have snapped this up already!

Ya, gotta pay $$ and somewhat defeats the purpose of EMS shipping since the scope is stuck at customs, and you have to call SingPost for a fax copy of the collection slip if you don't want to wait for that to come via snail mail.

cc, can't WO uses DHL/Fedex or something if they are shipping this from taiwan? I believe it is not too much difference compared to EMS.

if use DHL/FEdex, they will deliver to your house and you pay GST direct to them
