How do you Import/Export archery equipment into or out of Singapore?

From what we understand, archers wanting to personally take goods into Singapore used to have to get an import licence from the Arms & Explosives branch of the Singapore Police Force before entering Singapore. This has not been applicable for the last five years, however customs officers at the airport, harbour, and causeway do not know this so it’s best to obtain a letter from the A&E Department when dealing with archery equipment.

You do not have to go through this licensing process if you order archery equipment from BWachery from overseas.

For accurate information regarding ownership and bringing bows into and out of Singapore, please contact OC A&E Branch Tel: +65-68350000 or HP: 91064809.

How do you expect archers to buy equipment if you don’t list down prices?

Please use the link on the contact page and make your inquiry regarding prices online. Our website will send you our price list automatically if you use a legitimate email address.

Any way in which I can get some hint of prices of archery equipment?

Please inquire with us using the online form to request a price list.

What are the terms of payment to purchase archery equipment from Bill Wee?

ALL PRICES ARE QUOTED IN SINGAPORE DOLLARS UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE. We accept bank demand drafts in Singapore dollars made out to ‘Bill Wee Agencies’ and mailed to us at 5 Binchang Walk, Singapore 579857. Bank Telegraphic Transfer (T.T.) cost customers more and there is also a service charge levied against us which customers will be billed for – normally S$10 or S$20. Otherwise, cash up front. Currently, we do not accept credit cards. Goods will be sent once payment has been received. Bills has used these payment terms for the last five decades. All local and international archers are familiar with them. Please feel free to ask around.

How do you pack goods I intend to order?

All packages are handled individually according to the purchase order. Packing is done by hand to ensure the best insulation possible for your equipment. This is then counterchecked before being sealed. A packing order or customs invoice copy is usually included with all boxes. Customers are encouraged to pay for insurance for expensive purchases.

How does bwarchery send my order to me?

BWarchery will quote against your inquiry, estimating the airmail cost. We use letter rate for small light items. Heavier parcels are sent by air parcel (registered for safe passage to customers). Express airpost costs more. Expensive modes are Postal EMS, UPS, DHL or local courier service. Please let me know your preference.

If a custom order has been placed (or if we are out of the goods you’ve ordered), you have to also allow for sometimes up to a month or more before such goods are dispatched to you. This is because major suppliers like Hoyt, Easton & Samick all have heavy order loadings. We will always advise you in such situations.

Goods are shipped within a few days, unless I tell you otherwise. If I can’t ship your goods, I’ll tell you before taking your order.

Below are examples of shipping costs for packages sent to SE Asia and OceaniaProduct with packaging – weight estimates. S$(airmail/express airmail)

• Bow Handle – 2kg. S$30/S$45
• Bow Limbs – 1kg. S$25/S$35
• Compound bow – 5kg. S$50/S$70
• Dozen arrows – 5kg. S$20/S$26

Tell me more about your guarantee.

All our archery equipment are backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee. If the goods you order somehow malfunction or get damaged by normal shooting within a short time (for instance within one or two practice sessions) after you have purchased them, send me an email and we can discuss the problem. Most of the time, if the issue is a legitimate one, I can easily arrange for a replacement for you. This is a gentleman’s agreement that your equipment should work the way you expect it to work. Like all other purchases, retain your invoice. Limbs are usually guaranteed for one year and Hoyt Bow Handles have a life time guarantee to the original owner. Internet purchases have no guarantee status.

How do I get to you? Do you have a shop front?

We do not run an archery pro shop or retail store. We operate from a direct mail order address. This allows us to keep our overhead expenses low, and correspondingly, the prices you enjoy are a direct relation to the way we run our business.

I’d love to get the best archery equipment but I’ve got a tight budget. What can I do?

My years in archery mean that you have instant access to a coach and equipment advisor for both target archery and bowhunting gear. We will try our best to advise you on the most appropriate and economical set. You will be surprised at how many customers need help with the right combination of archery paraphernalia. Coming to our ’shopfront’ always means a one-to-one consultation with me, and between us, we will be able to sort out what best suits your shooting needs. You can also receive coaching on the spot whilst having your bow set up.
