Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones too expensive in Singapore? Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to get them cheaper from Amazon US instead with freight forwarding!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be the first person to admit that staying home all the time has driven me a little insane. Between my dogs and my family, it can feel like I never get a moments peace. And so I decided to get a pair of noise cancelling headphones \u2013 the Bose ones, to be precise. But even though I’m trying to invest in a good pair of headphones, it doesn’t mean I’m willing to pay through the nose for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve set my eyes on the Bose Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 700, which I’ll just refer to as “Bose Headphones” from now because it’s a mouthful. And you can bet that I’ve got a method to get them cheaper from overseas \u2013 after all I’m also your trusty plug<\/em> for getting cheaper AirPods<\/span><\/a>, cheaper iPad Pro<\/span><\/a>, and even cheaper Muji items<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, even after adding shipping and GST, the Bose Headphones are still cheaper than what’s retailing in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Just How Much Cheaper Are The Bose Headphones On Amazon US?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These Bose Headphones are available on Lazada for S$529<\/span><\/a>. Meanwhile, the same headphones are available on Amazon US for US$299 (~S$413.50)<\/span><\/a>. Of course, the listing on Amazon may get even cheaper when there’s a sale, so make sure you pay attention! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I selected the cheapest shipping option (which I’ll talk about below) so I can save as much as possible. Even after we factor in GST for the headphones and shipping, you can still save about ~S$80!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Wait… Why Can’t I See The Price On Amazon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first time buying from Amazon US, don’t worry. I was confused on my first try too! Because Amazon US has stores that only ship to the US, you’ll need a US ZIP code in order to view the prices. You can use any ZIP code, since this ZIP code won’t be applied to your actual shipping address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I use the ZIP code “97250”. Feel free to use it as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Ship The Bose Headphones From The US To Singapore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In order to ship your US items to Singapore, you’ll have to use a freight forwarder. A freight forwarder is a company that receives your packages in their US warehouse, and then forwards it to your Singapore mailing address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the package description on Amazon, below is an estimate of how much shipping would cost with three popular US freight forwarders<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
