Shopping from Houston Store from Singapore

I just met him today by accident, bought a Camellia brooch and sandals. He is a total hottie :sweatdrop: and he mentioned the forum. He showed me a classic lambskin 2.55 in Black and also in Mauve, it was so lovely but I think my Mum has the Black already. I'm here in Houston on holiday and I live in SG.
 
out of interest, how much cheaper is it for him to help us ship in than buying straight from taka boutique?

Reissue large size selling $4950 in takashimaya. If we are to give him our cc numbers and shipping address (including the 7% tax) ...is it still worthwhile?
