Gadgets ordered from Amazon and shipped to Singapore, plus Amazon’s own Echo and Alexa devices.
I bought the Case-Mate Waddler Penguin Case for iPhone 5/5s for Li Xiang from Amazon, US$15 plus US$7 shipping. It's the same case I got her for her old iPhone 4S, which she recently replaced with a gold iPhone 5s.
I bought the Google Chromecast from Amazon for US$35, excluding shipping. It works like Apple's AirPlay. In the US you can stream Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Google Play content, but for everyday users in Singapore, there's little beyond YouTube streaming.
I got the Anker Uspeed USB 3.0 9-Port Hub from Amazon for US$59.99, excluding shipping. Despite the long name, it's basically a 9-port USB 3.0 powered hub with an extra USB charging port. You can charge from all nine ports.
Amazon now ships to Singapore for free on orders above US$125, through its new AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping initiative. The free shipping covers India and Singapore when your order includes at least US$125 of qualifying merchandise, excluding the Import Fees Deposit.
About two and a half years on from my StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition, Heart of the Swarm launched on 12th March 2013. As a collector, I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition from Amazon five months earlier.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 is a 16.2MP camera with 4x optical zoom that's also water, shock, and dust proof, and works in low temperatures. I got it from Amazon for US$149.99 as the Gold Box Deal of the Day.
I love Klipsch, especially their patented oval ear tips, which fit me perfectly. I bought the Klipsch Image X10 during Amazon's Cyber Monday Gold Box deals for US$84.99, upgrading from the Image S4i I'd used for over two years.
I pre-ordered my copy of Diablo III: Collector's Edition from Amazon on 14th March 2012. It shipped on 17th May, a day after release, and arrived on the 20th, a Sunday DHL delivery. The game cost US$99.90, with US$19.98 shipping.
I bought the Case-Mate Waddler Penguin Case (Black) for iPhone 4/4S from Amazon as Li Xiang's birthday present. She loves penguins, and this was the only penguin iPhone case I could find. It cost US$24.99 plus US$7 shipping to Singapore.
I got the Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB from Amazon for US$91.49, alongside my Cocoon Grid-It, with shipping totalling US$21.46. The Eye-Fi isn't officially sold in Singapore, so you must buy from overseas resellers or Amazon, where it works out cheaper.
Cocoon makes an interesting product I'd call a bag organiser for gadgets, the Grid-It. It comes in various sizes and colours to suit different bags and devices, with prices from US$10 to US$50. It's a patent-pending object retention system.
Thanks to DK for buying the Sima Ultra Bright Video Light (SL-20LX) from Amazon. Justin Ng and Dennis got one too, after Daniel Tsou brought his to a tech event. Tech events often have poor lighting, leaving photos noisy.
My brother got me the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi from Amazon, shipped via Borderlinx since Amazon won't send it directly here. It cost US$64.99 after discount, far below the US$169.99 list and the S$299 local price. He bought three.
Ordered my StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition from Amazon on 17th July 2010, arriving 29th July, just a day after launch. Once I heard IAH Games would charge S$109 locally, I cancelled my Software Boutique pre-order.
I ordered WordPress For Dummies, 2nd Edition by Lisa from Amazon on 5th April 2009. Amazon estimated delivery by 12th May, but they vastly overestimated, as it landed in my letterbox today, 16th April, far ahead of schedule.
Amazon's estimated shipping date proved quite accurate: the site said it would arrive on 18th December 2007, and it really did, in fact early that morning around 10am. I've already read through the entire WordPress For Dummies.
I've ordered my copy of WordPress For Dummies from Amazon, including shipping, rather than a local bookstore, because it's cheaper. The book and postage came to about US$26.47, roughly S$38.38, versus S$39.90 plus 7% tax at Popular or PageOne.
