The U.S dollar has weakened slightly from the highs of S$1.45 to about S$1.35 (As of writing of this article). Perhaps it is time to consider making that Amazon purchase that you have always wanted (Don't forget to get your Cashback!). Whilst Amazon does provide shipping to Singapore on certain purchases (e.g Books, Clothing and Shoes), there are also some really good deals on items that do not ship direct (e.g Electronics, Tech. Gadgets and Health Products).

1. Create an ezBuy Account
Create an ezBuy account (if you have not) and select "Ship-For-Me"->"Forwarding Address" to get your unique forwarding address.
This is the address that you would be shipping your Amazon purchases to.
2. Setup the Address in Amazon
Login to Amazon, Go to "Your Account->Manage Addresses" to setup your ezBuy address (it should look like the screenshot below).
3. Browse for the item
Start Shopping!
Search for the item that is available in Amazon (In this example, the product is unavailable in Singapore and its variant is significantly cheaper if bought from the US/Amazon).
Certain electronics are also comparatively cheaper in the US than in Singapore, Example, this PS4 Slim would typically cost >$450 in Singapore. But buying it on Amazon (On Cyber Monday - US$212) Would likely cost you about $340 inclusive of freight from a forwarder. Do note about the warranty of these products. Some provide global warranties while others are only applicable in the US.
4. Checkout and select the ezBuy Address
Make your payments and select the ezBuy address that you have just created. The items will be delivered to that address. Once the purchases have been shipped by Amazon, you can proceed to step 5.
5. Inform ezBuy of your purchases
Login to ezBuy and click "+ Submit New Order".
Copy and paste the product URL and Tracking No. This will facilitate the processing of your package when it arrives at the USA Address (Warehouse).
