Please note the following
You belong to the Birks 19th Batch - meaning there were 18 sprees before this!
Each batch is usually 10 – 20 pairs which makes around 300 pairs & counting.
Its generally preferred to communicate through email & sms -
let me know if you prefer other means! Also, do check your mail regularly.
Sometimes, my mails end up in junk/spam folders of hotmail or gmail,
so please check that you do not mark me as spam.

Nearing the order date, please expect to receive a CONFIRMATION MAIL from me.
I will also sms you for an instant reply if needed.
This mail will include itemized details of:
Your order -- check the size and style
The total payment amount -- please note that Sg customs charge custom duties upon arrival of a bulk parcel and from past experience, they usually work out to $5 a pair.

You do not pay shipping charges as it is F.O.C but custom duties are unavoidable due to the bulk order.
Credit cards only accept Euro & USD and so, all prices are calculated from USD to SGD.
Conversion from USD is fixed at x1.6 to SGD.
This is slightly higher than the rates you get online as it is a credit card transaction and is always changing, determined daily by the respective banks.
It is fixed at 1.6 for convenience sake as I will only know exact rate, 1 month after the transaction when the statement arrives - as such, I would rather have you pay a dollar or so more upfront, than trouble 20 people to transfer it 1 month later.

Within 2 days of your confirmation - your payment is needed.
Please pay by bank transfer (POSB/DBS) --
as cash & carry is a tad too risky for me, for this I seek your kind understanding :)
Ordering will commence only upon payment --
as such, please pay promptly to avoid making the others in the spree, wait for your payment.
Thereafter, it will be transacted and no further changes may occur.

When nearing the date of arrival, please expect to receive an ARRIVAL MAIL from me.
I will also SMS you, just incase you have no internet access.

This will include the date and location to pass you your purchase.
Should you be unable to make it, I will try to arrange a time separately for you to collect.
Alternatively you may send others on your behalf.
In the event of a defect, please inform me.
However, if you feel that your shoes differ in color or size from the actual on site,
please feedback them to the site directly.
Location for mass meetup will be confirmed when the shoes arrive, over SMS.
This will be at a place with MRT access but cannot be determined as yet, due to variable schedule and timings.
Lastly: Please note it is NOT my duty that you receive your shoes neither is it within my responsibility to deliver or meet you at your convenience. It is the buyers duty to ensure payment and collection. The usual practice is to pay $9 of postage per pair but I have decided to arrange meetup so you can save this amount.
However, it has to be to my convenience if you are unable to make it for the mass meet up which is arranged for.

Happy Shopping!
