Consolidated purchase from US

Post by acc »

Hi guys
Noted that many of you are upgrading, buying equipment :) If someone wants to volunteer, he can consolidate a list of things to purchase from Singastro members and pass the list to me. AFTER paying me the money :wink:, I will go ahead to buy and send the stuff to Singapore. I will charge what it takes to cover the shipping and packaging costs. I am talking about small and light items... :) I have sent filters and eyepieces to Singapore via airmail. These arrive in less than 2 weeks and should costs less than US$20 unless you are talking about monster eyepieces.

cheers

Oh... that will be nice... :D (actually, I also had the idea of asking you to help me buy something, but too "pai sai" to ask... :oops: ).

By the way, is there any limitation on which vendor can we order from??

Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi guys
Any vendor should be ok as long as you give me a direct link to their website and accurate item description, and they accept credit cards for payment. Special service for admins and mods: email me anytime for US purchases... :)

To make things easy for me, I need someone to volunteer to consolidate all the items, collect ALL the payments, deposit the money to my DBS account and receive the shipment. Please don't PM me individually.

cheers
