Vpost is USELESS
Vpost is the Customs officer in full force, practically nothing can be shipped over just read their full list of prohibited items : Sanitizers (like why - don't you want a clean and hygienic enviroment?) Any external battery/powerbank for smartphones or tablets devices (no kindles!) Intoxicating liquors (tax issues) Tobacco products (why not?) Motor vehicles (who ships these anyway?) Any type of standalone batteries (batteries are improving by the day, they have now stopped the dendrite problem) Any battery/batteries that is packed in the same package but separated from the device. (WTH? lots of devices come with extra batteries to facilitate proper functioning!) Alcohol products and beverages (Item(s) would be discard at Origin and unable to process for returns or redirect to another address) (tax issues) Audio Speakers (WHY???) Counterfeit goods (how do you know it is counterfeit or not? Everything is copied from China nowadays anyway under a different brand) Diamonds (why not? to the benefit the DeBeers Cartel?) Electronic device which contains battery purchased from ebay/ individual seller (I don't get this...) Engine oils (pretty soon useless when EVs take over) Essential oils, diffuser oils, fragrance oil and perfume oil (seriously???) Items that are not labeled in English (Dietary supplements/ Cosmetics/ Food) (come on, not everyone speaks English) Any food, supplement, drug or cosmetic that has been issued a Consumer Safety Advisory Warning by Authority (HSA or etc) (OK this is tricky, needs a supplementary list) Any unidentifiable material, substance or chemical. (like practically every plastic substance on earth is undentifiable in its compound composition) Fuels, gasoline and gas torches (why not? how are these shipped anyway?) Flammable and toxic content products (e.g. products with Minoxidil, zinc oxide, Rosemary Oil and etc. (Rosemary oil is toxic - don't we grow the plants over here?) Firearms (or parts thereof) (understandable) Imitation tobacco products (e.g. electronic cigarettes, etc) (why do you care except for the recent vaping death (from chinese products) Infectious substances (how do the drug companies ship these in anyway?) Ink Cartridges (what's the problem with this? taking profits away from the big boys?) Laser apparatus such as laser pointers that are found to have emission powers (ok... all LEDs are blinding nowadays) Lighters with or without fuel/fluids (sigh...) Magnets (nothing wrong with magnets!!!) Munitions of war (undestandable) Meat or animal extracts (seriously even jerky / biltong / like why not?) Seeds / live plant (no logic behind this) Nail polish and nail polish removers (Really? Reason???) Narcotic drugs (understandable) Pornographic materials (in the age of the internet??) Perishable foods (e.g., cheese, yoghurt, eggs) (understandable) Processed foods more than 5kg and above SGD100 (food products that are not classified as meat, seafood or fresh fruits and vegetables) (what's wrong with storing some dried food in case of emergency?) Precious metals and Gemstones (what's your problem? Is aluminum now considered precious metal?) Paper currency, coins, credit cards, cheques and stamps (Item(s) would be discard at Origin) (is privacy a thing of the past?) Perfumes, colognes, eau de toilette and fragrance sprays (afraid of stinking up the cargo?) Perfume samples (Item(s) would be discard at Origin and unable to process for returns or redirect to another address) (seriously???) Radioactive materials (FYI even granite is radioactive) Sprays, aerosol cans and compressed gas cylinders (boring!!) Weapons Swords Knives (understandable, but what about chopping knives?) What can you send? NOTHING!
