We, Asians, can finally have a little taste of shopping for all sorts of things from the U.S.A. without actually being there. Beauty junkies, think about all the drugstore makeup you can buy that you can’t purchase here! 😀
Target – yes, the American retailer with the iconic red bullseye logo – is shipping directly to most Asian countries, including Singapore.
Most of your favourite Target products (except some medication and other non-shippable items) can be purchased and be delivered. It’s conveniently set up and if you play with the options, the prices of all the products can be listed in Singapore dollars too.
We’ve tried clicking around on the site and although Malayan Ringgit is under the list of currencies available, Malaysia isn’t listed as one of the countries they ship to. We’re unsure if there’s a glitch. Why else would Target list Malayan Ringgit then?
Upon checkout, Target also calculates your duties and taxes beforehand with fixed landed costs, so you know the exact amount you’ll be paying. There are also affordable international shipping rates offered to over 100 countries.
If ya’ll have friends and relatives in SG, good on you! If you don’t and are desperate, you can use shipment services like ShopandBox.
