Mustaffa is now larger
- Thread starter johnny333
- Start date
Probably the worst kept secret in Mustafa is their branded perfumes which are so much cheaper than elsewhere (even duty free shops!).
The same can be said for Orchard Rd. Too many people in Spore :(
On weekends I'm reluctant to go anywhere, even the neighbourhood mall is crowded
size matters? ... izit betta? ...Went down to visit Mustaffa & noticed that Mustaffa has expanded physically. They've extended their newer wing, it's now even larger.
Must now be the largest department store in Spore
any idea why are they cheaper?
Parallel import? Bypass middlemen? No idea man. But to be fair, they carry only a modest range of the branded ones. Luckily my favourite colonge is usually there.
can the smell last ? the last time i was in singapore ,i went lucky plaza to buy cologne ....same smell same bottle design same packaging but the smell wont last ..after that my friends told me that lucky plaza is selling fake stuffs .
Yes, I don't think Mustafa's fake. You go buy and tell me how is it.
They pay cash to their suppliers.
correct me if i am wrong, the perfumes there are 10-15% cheaper than at dutyfree, same packaging etc..
even by paying cash, buying in bulk, cutting middlemen etc, how can they be so much cheaper especially with GST included?

anybody know what is the tax/duty on perfumes in sinkapore?
My apologies. I am not able to answer your question. But when you ask around, people in the FMCG trade, they always say M is cheaper coz pay cash to suppliers. Your point is valid - how can it be cheaper than DFS? Parallel import?
Just abit of everything n anything! Some through cash while others through bulk consignment!
One way. Import from frontal launderers for Indian Ocean pirates.
Singapore import duty paid yet cheaper than duty free and legalised.
next time ...if got the chance to go mustafa ...i will buy . by the way , the barcode on the box is located on the side of the box or below ? i heard they said if the barcode is on the side means fake .
if we don't know the tax, then it is quite pointless to speculate whether tax is a big component of the selling price...
