can i ask, with vpost new CIF calculation, what's a safe amount to order?
i calculated 12.01kg for the candies (including whiterose order) based on the weights listed alone.
total cost on website is Total: $187.74
is this a safe amount? or should i try to order a lower amount?

wah candies so heavy one ah! will also bulky boh?
under new cif computation,
u just take invoice value + insurance (if u choose to buy) + vpost charge
exchange rate follows customs rate apparently; rates just go up n up lately so remember to factor in some leeway. eg. customs rate 1.5 at time of ordering, u use 1.52 at least.
vpost charge take before discount n base charge as full 12.40.
so your eg of usd187 n 12kg :
CIF roughly = 187*1.52 + 0 + (12.40 + 12*8.60) = S$399.84
imo, too close for comfort.

i was shocked after i decided to calculate too!
realised the 1 i'm craving after is 1.02kg a box 
wow vpost calculates before discount?! that's... abit bad leh.
thanks for helping to calculate and agree that amount is too close...
by when should i aim for package to reach vpost?
may not order today since no response from whiterose and friend wants to check out TNT
edited to add: i'm not sure whether it'll be bulky... depends on packaging of the different candies ba... might be so.

actual already so high, hope vol will not be even higher. 12kg vol weight box is rather big, cant imagine so much candies haha.
the bill generated is before we input any code ma, dats why cif based on non discounted. and the full base charge thingy i concluded from kuromi's huge 80s tee order, dat time had other sharers too but vpost seemed to still use full base to calculate cif/gst.
very latest to reach is 11th sg? i prob making payment 12-13th like dat.
