Hi gang, I wanted to get a mailing address in Singapore so that I can open an account for some affiliate programs like cb etc...

I've came across virtualoffice.com.sg and smartvirtualoffice.com.sg

Any comments and review??

Thanks!

You wont be sure if they will steal your checks or not, cos they know why you buy their service alright.

And doesnt it cost around RM500 per month? Unless you very sure they wont steal your checks and you make a profit to cover the rental...

I don't see ANY reasons why someone would want to steal checks, it's under my name and they can't use it. And I also don't see why they want to spoil their reputations like that, mailing forwarding companies make a lot of money and it's a good business model. And NO, it's not RM500/per month and it's merely around ~70ringgit /per month...

The reason the question was asked is to find out which provide a better service.. Ok.. any comments from users themselves?

Are you sure? I have asked a few, and they stated 200 something SGD per month.

Also, if for RM70, how secure is the service? I work in a company dealing specifically with Spore and I see their address everyday, and if RM70, then I can tell you, its maybe just a table/desk...and if you can trust that, then...ok

http://www.virtualoffice.com.sg . Please log in and check it out yourself. I don't need to use their office, I just an address and I need them to forward my mails. When you say you have asked a few, do you have the URLs? 70ringgit for forwarding mails is reasonable as the US companies are charging around 100 ringgit or so.

Sorry, I don't really understand what you meant by that. Well, I would appreciate it if you can point me to some better alternatives or suggestions rather than 'oh you can try if you trust'... because I don't think that's very helpful..

Hmm,...looks like they lowered their price,
I asked them 7 mths ago....they also tried to upsell me to more expensive ones. I then used "outside Malaysia source"...to have a non Msia address.

But, I'm sure you asking becos you still doubt how safe will ur checks be...I personally dont really trust so cheap, not when money is at stake. Who knows some checks might go missing, that is possible for only RM 70. Think of it like renting a room, and property rate in Spore is expensive, so what do you get for RM70?

Look, if big US companies can screw you, why not over here as well? So, for RM70....if you can trust your checks with that, then fine. When I said, I am in this company dealing with Spore, means I know roughly where the addresses are cos I see and deal with Spore customers everyday, alrite? You might get a warehouse or half a desk.

So, most of the time the Spore addresses I know, I personally need to verify the addresses, its part of my job. I wont tell you my job though...just that I am quite familiar with it (spore).

If possible get a more expensive package or get foreign address in US or Canada or Australia....etc

Thanks. Of course everyone will doubt about the reliability of these companies, I won't disagree with you about that. The problem is, we don't have a choice do we, and these are the only companies I know of. I don't mind paying more but then again would a more expensive service means they are more reliable? No, I don't think so, internet marketing is full of shit nowadays as we know... If you know of a better service, could you please shed some light?

I don't really care if they are operating in a warehouse or even in their own house, if it's reliable, I'll use it.

Well, sorry I dont know of any better ones. I use a relative's address overseas. This is maybe the best method...but I have yet to apply for ClickBank.

I'm quite sure you will not get a reply more about this becos very few if any Msians are successfully promoting affiliate products consistently. They would generally try to bank on Adsense and nothing more. You can try to contact Gobala Krishnan, if he got the time for you...maybe he is one of the few Msians who really try to use affiliate marketing with some results...

They are cheap possible that "share cost" as they are not only serve you. I am no experience with them, so no comment on their service. But since they can still in business since 7 months ago then should be no problem.

Hi,

I just chanced upon this discussion and realized that I could offer some insights on virtual office solutions that our company provides via www .virtualoffice.com.sg.

First of all, I have built this company since 2003 and served over 3,000 companies over 45 countries, including major firms like GE, Iridium, major financial institutions and MNCs. Secondly, we have won awards like Spirit of Enterprise from our own Singapore President.

It would be really silly of us to steal someone cheques. And why would we want to risk nearly 4 years of business? And we have help hundreds of Malaysians to setup their PayPal and Clickbank accounts.

I guess that it's a matter of trust. Compared to others, we have been around for a longer time and we seen competing virtual office providers closing down, due to their unrealistic rates, increasing rentals and their "I want to earn big money" commitments. Many of their clients, who used to be concerned about our above-the-average pricing, have now switched to us because we take pride in our good reputation and firm reliability.

Anyway, if any of you have any issues that you need me to address, feel free to email me at petertan@virtualoffice.com.sg or drop a reply at this forum. I would be happy to help out.

Cheers,
Peter Tan

i guess nobody would want to steal cheque with imprinted name especially the crossed one's.. what the use of it???

btw. wat is your charges for our malaysian here.... with just the basic option needed below:-
1. Mailbox & sg address
2. mail forwarding/opening & banking in cheque for us.
3. alert via email only.

i guess you can repackage something out of ordinary for us.
