Daddy is convinced that BabyPlus is beneficial for my development. He being to source the web to purchase the system. Amazon is having a good deal as compared to the retail price in Singapore. And to take advantage of the shipping via vPOST, he bought some other items as well. The items bought from Amazon includes:
- BabyPlus
- BabyBjorn "Synergy" Carrier
- BabyBjorn Bibs
- Ultrasound - Music for the unborn child [CD]
- Build your Baby's Brain 1 [CD]
But Daddy made a mistake when calculating the shipping cost. Amazon ships the 5 items in a box with air bubble packing. And the volumetric weight of the box is 5kg, where the actual weight is only 2.3kg. This means that Daddy has to pay to ship 2.7kg of air back, since Vpost charges by volumetric weight. So the shipping cost is much more that expected. Daddy should have instructed Amazon to pack the items in the smallest box possible. So did Daddy save by shopping on Amazon and shipping back via Vpost? Yes, he did save about 25% off the retail price despite the higher than expected shipping cost.
