Shipito can also assist you with the purchase but it gets really expensive once you add up all these fees and shipping costs. Probably best to find a way to place the order yourself and just use them to get it to Singapore.
I also had to pay the sales tax for shipping the item to a CA address (it's charged at purchase time). For some reason Kobo didn't accept the OR address of the package forwarder.
How's the haze situation btw? Hopefully it'll clear soon. Cheers.

Guess I missed the boat, I was to have placed the order about a week back, if not for card authorization error. Tried few cards but none could get through, thought it was due to the reason that they are non US issued, turned out Kobo may have began their site revamp then, causing the errors.
I understand there will be fees and extra charges involved if purchasing through a 3rd party, this is why I asked about taxes and shipping, to have a better grasp and control over the amount that will be incurred.
Haze situation in Singapore has improved tremendously over the past few days, largely due to a change of wind direction from NE to N, inevitably, central Malaysia has bared the full force of the smog because of this. Be it Singapore or Malaysia, unfortunately, we are all still at the mercy of the raging forest fires back in Riau, at least for the coming weeks.
