hi guys,correct me if I am wrong.they are not suppose to tax us if the items or goods are for personal use right?just make sure that the packaging is open (to show it's not for sell purposes).

Nope, they still can tax use even personal.

No I'm in Klang Valley. I purposely drove down there to buy it
There are two checkpoints. The old one at Woodlands and new at Tuas
Tuas cost a bit more on the highway toll but faster. I went in thru the old Woodland checkpoint and the jam was terrible

According to the sifus here they said Tuas easier to pass. I took their advice

With the recent increase in toll and entrance fees, the purchase need to be really cheap or rare items.

Ya I would think so especially imported goods. Can give some examples bro?

I bought WMF pots & pans, cutlery for my house. Is around SGD 350 when I got it during sale. Over here the same set around RM 2.5K after discount. Zwilling knifes during sales are cheaper.

Most of my DSLR camera gears and new lens are from there, Camera bags are cheaper if you know where to get. Peninsula Plaza is a good place to start.

Imported car tires are cheaper, my friend used to drive down change branded rims and tires, save them at least few Ks per round.

Basically the branded and imported stuff are cheaper.

If any of you want to buy car parts (especially Conti), and expensive cars, is cheaper there too.

Oh, wmf yes expensive. But I was told they are now made in china, no longer direct from Germany right ? I need a set of pots soon too.

Noted on camera and tyres. Keep for future reference smile.gif

Don't know where is made now. As long use the same 18/10 stainless steel is good. If Sg made in China, Malaysia set also same.

If you in Singapore this week, can try your luck

Now is slightly pricier, My cookware 6 set was SGD 150, + additional discount with Isetan card.

Eh? Was at in sg at IMM last night. Saw WMF on sale but no set. Only have cutlery set. The rest all are individual pots, pans and wok on sale.

Westgate's Isetan does not have WMF promotion now. But still better to check from time to time. Say christmas and CNY sale. When I got my WMF pots n pan set, it was during the Xmas Sale.

Just noticed metro's wmf sale , the 7pc set is $199 on sale.  I got that set for $160 last year.
