If you think that the iPad Pro is too expensive in Singapore, here’s a step-by-step guide to show you how to get a cheaper iPad Pro from Amazon US instead!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Apple has remained relatively unrivalled in the tablet world. While mobile phone competitors are a dime a dozen, the iPad has remained a strong contender ahead of rival brands’ tablets. And with that level of quality, design, and exclusive features, comes a pretty hefty price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have realised that I’m the same savvy shopper that saved ~S$50 on AirPods<\/span><\/a> and ~S$13 on Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/span><\/a>, I have a nifty trick for iPads too. \ud83d\ude0e Here’s how I’m going to save ~S$48 by getting my iPad Pro from Amazon US<\/strong> instead of the Singapore Apple store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the iPad Pro Really Cheaper on Amazon US? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’m getting my hands on the 256GB Wifi+Cellular iPad Pro<\/strong> (12.9 inch) model, and here’s how they compare between Apple Singapore and Amazon US. An iPad Pro isn’t complete without the Apple Pencil, so that’s going into my cart too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Apple SG<\/strong><\/strong><\/td>Amazon US<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

The iPad Pro costs S$1,869 on Apple Singapore<\/span><\/a>, while it’s only US$1,249 (~S$1,729.40) on Amazon US<\/span><\/a>. Meanwhile, the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) is available for S$189 on Apple Singapore<\/span><\/a>, compared to just US$99 (~S$137.10) on Amazon US<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also selected the cheapest shipping option (that I’ll talk about more later) to maximise my savings. As you can see from my calculation, I can save about ~S$48 by getting my iPad Pro from Amazon US instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, I Can’t Seem to View the iPad Pro Prices on Amazon US?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to key in a US ZIP code in order to view the price on Amazon US. I used the ZIP code 97250, which you can use too! Don\u2019t worry though \u2013 the ZIP code won\u2019t be applied to your shipping address. You just need an US ZIP code to \u201cunlock\u201d the Amazon US prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Ship My iPad Pro From Amazon US To Singapore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That’s easy, just use a freight forwarder \u2013 a company that receives your packages in their US warehouse, and then forwards them to you in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re new to the freight forwarder game and need a little bit of guidance on which to pick, we’ve put together this helpful Best US Freight Forwarders Singapore<\/span><\/a> to help you decide which to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While ezShip and vPost allows you to calculate the price to ship both the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil together, Comgateway doesn’t and hence the two prices. However, Comgateway also offers consolidation and repacking services, so it’s very likely that the shipping would be cheaper than the estimation below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
