AmazonGlobal Saver Free Shipping to Singapore on Purchases Over USD125

I finally have time to figure out how to shop on Amazon for items that are eligible for the AmazonGlobal Saver Free Shipping to Singapore, and just placed an order to get some Christmas presents and other stuff. *happy* For a start, it seems a little confusing to shop for items that are eligible for the free shipping. However, after you know how it works, it gets easier albeit troublesome. Hence, you would need to have patience and shop when you have time to browse through the site so that you can trial and error on the items that you are interested to get.

A few friends had asked me how do we know which items are entitled to free shipping to Singapore. I did some screen captures and going to do some kind of step-by-step instructions, as follows. Hopefully these instructions would help people to understand how to go about shopping on Amazon with free shipping to Singapore.

Instructions to shop on Amazon to get AmazonGlobal Saver Free Shipping to Singapore:

1.  Logon to Amazon. Create an account if you don't already have one and make sure you have a Singapore shipping address saved in your account.

2. In the search bar, type the item that you want to search for. In my example, I used "hello kitty toys".

3. The search results which are considered as "hello kitty toys" would be displayed. Scroll down the page until you see "AmazonGlobal Eligible" under International Shipping (see the black arrow), and checked it. Once you've checked it, the search results would be refreshed to show only items that are eligible for AmazonGlobal; however, note that this does not mean that all the listed items are eligible for free shipping.

4. From the list, select the item that you would like to buy and add to the cart. To test out if the item is eligible for free shipping, select the quantity so that the total cart amount would be more than USD125 as you need to buy at least USD125 worth of items to be eligible for free shipping. In my example, I used Mega Bloks - Helly Kitty Treehouse that costs USD19.99, so need to buy at least 7  (see the black arrow) so that the total cart amount would be more than USD125. 

I choose this item as an example as it's currently selling in Takashimaya as an "exclusive toy to Takashimaya" at SGD99.95, so you can see the amount of savings that you can get if you buy from US website, e.g. Amazon instead. For the price that you pay in Singapore, you can buy 3 from Amazon and yet, still have balance amount to buy yourself a decent meal or get McDelivery to deliver a late night supper while you shop online, lol!

5. Proceed to checkout the cart.

6. Select the Singapore shipping address (see the black arrow).

7. If the selected item is eligible for free shipping to Singapore, you would be given the option "Free AmazonGlobal Saver (averages 9-14 days)" as a shipping speed (see the black arrow). In my example, the item is eligible for free shipping. If you do not see this option available, it means that this item is not eligible for free shipping.

8. Continue your shopping spree and do steps 2-7 as above until your actual total cart amount reaches USD125. Actual total cart amount means the sum of your intended purchases, and not based on the amount that you test out if the item is eligible for free shipping (see below picture which shows the testing amount as one is unlikely to buy so many pieces of the same item unless it's a consolidated spree by few people who are buying the same thing). Hence, as you proceed with the shopping and when your purchases have finally reached more than USD125, do remember to adjust the quantity to the actual quantity that you intend to buy. Do a thorough check on the quantity of all selected items before you make that final purchase.

A little bit of caution... the prices on Amazon are rather volatile, they may change faster than the stock exchange, and sometimes at quite a significant difference, so if you are browsing the site over a couple of days, you may be prompted several times of price changes in your item(s). Sometimes, if the price increases too much, you might wish to hold back your order and wait for the price to drop; however, doing so may cause the price of other items to go up, so do prioritise the items that you really want and be prepared to drop any item that has gone up too pricey for you.

Hopefully, you would benefit from my sharing and enjoy a better shopping experience on Amazon for free shipping to Singapore! :)
