To order from overseas online stores or local agent...penny wise-pound foolish?" haha

Just adding another option for you guys to consider.

I have an address in the USA by virtue of www.myus.com This allows me to buy anything there as if I were a US citizen. This company then sends over my stuff on a predetermined basis. I have subscribed to various magazines at US rates and I can confirm that they are MUCH cheaper than what you get locally.

I haven't ordered aquarium stuff yet, but normally whatever stuff I bought comes to me via DHL and are hardly taxed. Big stuff that I have bought include various Megazord toys for my son which come in big boxes but was not taxed. Biggest thing that I have purchased and was taxed were shock absorbers for my Jeep

Try joining up as a member (I joined since 1998). But don't try buying illegal stuff or porn. They don't care what you buy, but you'll get in trouble locally

ya..this method also works well when shopping in ebay whereby some sellers will only send internally within the US....

alot of good deals in ebay...just make sure the money u saved from the deal is not wiped out by the shipping back to singapore
