We are happy to help.

Ghim Soon Machinery Pte Ltd has been exporting products overseas for more than 30 years and has been offered very attractive rate packages. We have decided to pass the savings to our esteemed customers. If you compare both types of shipping choices’ rates offered in our website to FedEx’s published rates, you will realise that ours will be relatively more affordable.
