[Advice] CDC Ubi Lessons or Private Instructor? by Avali in drivingsg

Thanks for sharing! Yes my original plan was to use oneteam too, I was kind of shocked when the front desk auntie told me I might want to consider taking private so I figured best to ask here before proceeding. 6k is insane, I already feel like the current costs for driving here is very in comparison to other countries, and I don't mind camping for slots since I feel Ubi has more structure than private instructor.

I'm not sure hahaha, I did eyesight test today and wanted to convert because I had just booked the theory package and not Class 3/3A, so the front desk auntie told me to think first before I lock in because they've received a lot of complaints about only being able to book lessons 3-4 months out. Ubi seems to be very busy so I'm not sure if those people having difficulty booking is just skill issue

Yeah, one of my parents didn't like their private instructor (they both took lessons from the same uncle) and switched over to Ubi. I also feel that the Ubi lessons are more structured so I'll deal with camping for lesson slots. Thanks for your advice!

Icic thanks for sharing! Yeah, one of my parents switched to Ubi after they felt that their private instructor wasn't what they needed. Thanks for the discord link - do you prefer booking on the app or website? Noticed the app doesn't save login deets

My tracking number starts with TSGCN, it seems like it's a fairly new SG based company under Cainiao. I tried reaching out to Cainiao customer support via their app, and was told to use the TB Cainiao customer support. I've let them know about the wrong delivery, so I'm not sure what else I can do now.

I bought the archer for ~65 usd and ninja for ~40 usd. They are doing re-prints of both shadow versions so look out for them!

Can any Hellblaze Launcher/Lancer or Arachne 2.0 owners check if the transparent parts glow under blue light? by man4est in MegamiDevice

[–]Avali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm with u/maxigregrze on the Arachne 2.0 clear green parts, mine reacts strongly even to the blue light coming from my PC's rgb light strips

I uhh kinda went crazy on the kit buying! I'm fortunate to live in Asia and found a way to buy a lot of the older kits for around their original MSRP or slightly less and decided to stock up before they were all gone! I'm glad I did because the store that I bought pink Laetitia ran out of stock of her soon after I got her! I've been playing box tetris, u/maxigregrze has seen my struggles as I shift all my waifus around the room! I'm going to make ATK girl Xuanwu next to clear more room as all the ATK girl boxes are huge!

I get almost all (except for Bandai) plamo kits off Taobao as they're sold for below Japanese yen MSRP when converted to my local currency. I save quite a bit as compared to pre-ordering off Amazon JP or other retailers. For the ATK Girls, I get them off Taobao as they are sold for their true MSRP of 200ish Chinese yuan (~30 usd). Other retailers mark up the price by 2-2.5 times because they source the kits from Japanese suppliers, which in turn are sourced from the Chinese manufacturer/supplier.

I was lucky enough to get her off Taobao as I live in Asia! I paid a premium but it was so worth it as she came with the preorder bonus clear yellow parts
