Under the vPost help section, it states that "Consolidation helps customers to save cost by requiring payment of only 1 base charge, due to multiple shipments of items under the same category."

What is defined as same category? I just shopped on drugstore.com and I bought accessories from Nordstrom? so can i still consolidate?

Any advice?

That means they will only charge you the base charge on drugstore order, then for your Nordstrom order u just need to pay the actual price.
I just wonder how much we can consolidate

[efai]

as long as not exceeding S$400 for all the packages (or else u will be slapped with 7% gst)
and the packages from diff merchants arrive withing the 14 days holding time (or else pay S$10 extra per item per week)

yup, splashes & perfumes are deemed as flammable! unless u do a cp, u'll never be able to get those items into the us.

omg can someone help me??? i ordered from drugstore.com and one of the items is tresemme heat protectant spray - which vpostusa now emailed me to say they can't ship for sprays!

but the thing is, this item is not flammable and dont contain alcohol?? are they very strict?

if they are, how can i go ard it, any one experienced before? can i ask them to open and throw away the so called flammable items????? omg my orders cost me 300+++ bucks!!

If 1 package is above S$400, while my 2nd package is below S$400, can I still consolidate and only incur GST for my 1st package only? Or will consolidation mean that they will charge GST for both packages?

anyone tried vpost's magazine subscription service?

i think vpost will only charge GST for the parcel that exceed $400 because they state that GST is only applicable if CIF of each individual package exceeds S$400.

oh dear, u can call vpost to tell them to return the item to the merchant but i think they will charge for this service.

hi babe thanks for yr reply. i called vpost and yes, they charge $10 but i realy have 0 trust in this so far. thankfully i got drugstore to do a recall of shipment, and dont need to involve vpostusa.

i'm going to steer clear of vpostusa now. once bitten 20 times shy.

ordering through skinstore.com for now for clarisonic items
