Save money with low prices!

I started buying stuff like books and health supplements online only recently. The convenience and savings, especially with a strong Singapore Dollar, help to make online shopping a growing phenomenon here.










You know those mega sales at the Singapore Expo by John Little or Harvey Norman? This reminds me of a mega sale except that we don't have to be in a crowded and noisy location, rummaging through baskets of bargains with everyone else and, then, joining a super long queue to make payment!

 Happy shopping in the comfort of your own home!

    Hi FoodieFC,

    Neither did I!

    I paid $10 for a silicone protection shell for my Samsung Galaxy Ace at Jurong Point! :(

    I have been doing online shopping for quite sometimes. Besides foodstuff and medicine, I will source the things I need online first, ranging from underwear to capo and tuner for my guitar.

    Thanks for the info. I will check this site for my next purchase.

    Hi Sanye,

    My shopping style is definitely outdated. I now believe the news that online shopping is growing rapidly.

    Certain businesses in the retail industry with physical shops in the malls could really suffer.

    Hi Ling,

    You are welcome! I like to accept advertisements for products and services which I think readers will find interesting or useful.

    A friend bought several silicone cases for the iPad from them. It comes in many colors! He kept two and the rest, he gave away to his family. Apparently, these are easily S$40 a piece in the shops!

    If you think it appropriate, share this blog post with your friends and family. Thank you. :)

    Hi SnOOpy168,

    It shows how fast the Chinese are catching up and how inexpensive they are!

    The old way of doing business is crumbling with the Chinese factories and resellers selling directly to consumers.

    Importers and foreign retailers will feel the heat.

    Hi Hayden,

    Not at all. On a good day, it takes me 20 minutes to drive there from home.

    Hi AK,

    how long did it take for your shipment to arrive?

  14. AK71June 7, 2013 at 11:27 PM

    Hi hunter,

    About 2 to 3 weeks max. There is an option to pay for shipping to speed things up but if there is no urgency, I'd opt for free shipping. :)

    Hi CL,

    I am a stick in the mud when it comes to this. ;p

    I have stuck to the same brokers forever.

    Local names which have been around for a long time.

    I know there are cheaper options.

    However, I don't trade often and would not benefit much from lower commissions.
