Hi guys

 

I did actually ask this coy, and this is wad i got from them.

 

Only for those intending to mount a PDA.

 

Hi Bro, I'm getting almost the same setup via Amazon......costs around US$50+ for the small box. Medium box will set you back US$60++ I think. Shipping is around S$25 thru VPost....You do the math. I think saves a lot.

 

I think its best to go via US coz its made there. Just like if made in China.....it will be cheaper there.

 

Ohh ya found the Amazon page...Its US$72., but this is the medium wide setting. Maybe can use this as a guage.

This is the one for Medium size

[IvikaRazI]

Yes...its one set.

 

Things made in US, buy in US better....its cheaper....same things goes for things made in China or Malaysia or Thailand, etc. Get from the country of origin its cheaper.

 

If its too unbelievable, see this from RAM Mount Webpage itself.

if we do MO and save on the postage cost, it might be cheaper than wat tht guy quote u.

 

Do remember that any amount more than SGD400 will attract the 7% GST when it lands in Singapore. If the ram-mount cost USD50/unit, just 5 sets, you would have hit that number.

You have to do your maths.

I got my Ram-Mount from Amazon, and shipped back via Vpostusa, it costs me $15.80 (no insurance). Hope that will help you to better estimate the cost.

All things being equal, the S'pore gal can work and supplement the household income while the vietnam bride would likely to be economically non-viable, and you have to support her, and maybe her family in Vietnam.

i've found out tht since ram mount offers lifetime warranty on their parts, it is advisable to buy from a dealer tht's accessible cause i was informed tht have to go thru the dealer to get the parts exchanged

[Guest Bite1968]

There is a local dealer for Ram Mount. Perhaps can look up at the shop http://www.jkcommercial.com.sg/
