Ever tried using vPost when buying at eBay USA?
-
Hei, anyone tried using vPost when buying things from eBay USA?
I am a little confused about the process.
I mean, the shipping address is going to be vPost USA address. But what about the billing address? It's going to be my credit card address. Since the credit card address is different from the shipping address, can I still buy from eBay?
Also, we are supposed to put the name as for example "ZhaoZhiLong VP123456". This name is slightly different from our credit card name. So, how? -
shipping name put shipping name
or else vpost cannot find ur parcel or match wrong then hong gan liao......
billing name put billing name
billing details must be as per ur cc record name and add -
unless the item seller is onli willing to ship within the united states, or else ask him to ship to singapore directly.

So do you mean shipping name = "ZhaoZhiLong VP123456", and billing name = "as in cc record"?Originally posted by FireIce:shipping name put shipping name

billing name put billing name
billing details must be as per ur cc record name and add
Then shipping name a bit different from billing name, and shipping add very different from cc add. Like that can meh? I thought the seller might refuse to accept my purchase in such circumstances? But since you are the hippest moderatress in town, I suppose you have done that before already. Thanks!

I want to buy many items mah, then can save (a lot) on shipping leh. VPost can let me combine shipping leh.Originally posted by Vigelic:unless the item seller is onli willing to ship within the united states, or else ask him to ship to singapore directly. -
yesh, shipping add can be diff from billing add
this is very common for international buyers. -
you still have to pay for local US shipping -.- but its up to u..Originally posted by zhaozhilong:I want to buy many items mah, then can save (a lot) on shipping leh. VPost can let me combine shipping leh.
u haf to calculate which is more cost-effective.. if ur a lot is like 3 or 4 onli.. there's a chance u might end up paying more.. -
using vpostUSA can help u save about 20-30% on shipping...
at least u are billed in SGD
inform the merchant to soft pack.... avoid using boxes......... -
Local US shipping not expensive. It's the international shipping that I am worried about mah. For example if I buy 4 items, then it is likely that:Originally posted by Vigelic:you still have to pay for local US shipping -.- but its up to u..

"Total cost of 4 separate international shipping" > "Total cost of 4 local US shipping plus 1 vPost shipping to singapore".
But yeah, I'll do the math first. See how much I can save. -

i google and found your chat re buying stuff from ebay and ship through vpost usa. i am stumped by shipping via vpost usa. i found some hard disks on ebay and seller does not ship international.
if i log into ebay using my profile, upon checking out i am prompted that seller does not ship to my country. in this case, i created another user and put the vpost usa address as my address.
however when i submit my registration, the error message is - unable to process information provided - apparently the primary telephone number is not recognised by ebay system
am i doing the correct thing? can anyone help me out. i am pulling all my hair out

separately contact the seller to explain u are using vpost as proxy
most sellers would understand lah
