Where to buy a Ipod Touch Apple in Singapore

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable electronic shop where I could buy and Apple Ipod Touch.I saw a newspaper article stating that a 8gb would be around $248 and the exchange rate against the pound, that works well for the Brits. Thanks!

Its S$388 in Apple stores (you can get tax back at the airport) , I cant imagine it will be much cheaper elsewhere in Singapore. With the £ devaulved by nearly 30% to the S$ in recent months, I cant imagine you%26#39;ll find any sort of branded electronic product significantly cheaper to make it worthwhile buying in Singapore at the moment.

Thanks Mankster for your reply, what is tax % in SIN ?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) back at the airport is 5% - but you must show a GST receipt, your passport and the goods purchased.

Anywhere in Funan would be the best place to look. Two friends recently bought ipods from Song Brothers on the second level.

is it safe to buy in Funan and can i get a GST receipt if i decided to buy an Apple Ipod Touch? Thanks!

I%26#39;ll second the %26#39;be careful its not a good time to be doing this from the UK%26#39; idea. Check how much the item costs in the UK before going to SIngapore and make sure you know how much they are charging you there.

In my experience over the last 20odd years there is no guarantee of electronics being cheaper in Singapore - sometimes the release schedules are different so I have got things there that were not available in the UK, CDs and DVDs I used to find to be cheaper though the proliferation of internet shops like play and amazon have made that less of an option, computer stuff varies immensely. You can ind bargains, but there should be no assumption that its cheap. Add to that the fact that I was buying Sing Dollars last May at 2.8 to the pound and last week I was seeing buying rates of 2.1 then things have got worse.

Also the refund scheme requires a number of bits of paperwork, the item must be on your person for inspection at the airport (either before going airside for bulky items or in handbaggage for lighter ones claimed airside) and on occasion I have found they require the goods to be unopened for claiming back the GST - to satisfy the %26#39;not wholly or partially consumed in Singapore%26#39;

Here is the homepage for the Scheme
