Here's some points that you might need to know before choosing.
vPost will automatically charge you custom tax if your total purchase + Shipping is over SGD$400.
Whereas Tenso you could edit the cost price before you choose to ship out the items (Don't blame me if the item is lost or damaged though. Insurance is not going to cover since you've edited the price.)
vPost charge by minimum weight of 500g and they round up to nearest 100g after 500g. meaning if your package is 510g, they will charge at 600g.
Then let's do an example if your item from mu-mo is 750g.
vPost : $16.00 (base charge) + (1.30*8)Weight Charge Per 100g +(0.15*8) fuel surcharge per 100g = $27.60
Tenso : 1,520Yen (International Shipping Fee) + 580yen (Handling Fee) = 2,100Yen (according to xe.com is $23)
BUT please do note that if you have multiple items to be consolidate, Tenso charges you 300yen for an extra package and a 200yen application fee. Whereas vPost doesn't charge any consolidation fee cos they just ship the item as it is. They will not charge you the base charge fee but will just add on the" Weight Charge Per 100g" and the fuel surcharge.
Do the maths yourselves and choose =)
Getting the correct weight is the tough decision.
