Hi CC, 

Which company u use to handle ur heavy shipment from taobao? 

 

Thks! 

Hi,

I used Amcon for my shipment as they charged by volume, minimum is 1 cubic metre. good for heavy items. But the downside is that you have to track the deliver of item in China yourself and inform them when all the items have arrived. I had 2 shipments and each cost about $300 per shipment.

I think you might want to check on 65 daigou to see how their shipment for 1 cubic metre is calculated.

Cheers

hiLong long time no update.... things have been moving slow recently....

But... after a long wait and constantly harassing Amcon (forwarder)... my first shipment finally arrived :dancingqueen:

my tv console... oneof the many best buys :jammin: about $400 + $100 (shipment cost)

it came assembled... 1.8m solid wood... really quite heavy

what we saw on taobao

some scratches...we are totally ok with it as it is very minor considering it travelled a far dist without much protection to reach us.. hahaha..

it came with accessories.. but we did not take pic of the accessories...

another good buy... our kitchen tap.. we will review it once it is installed..

tap is heavy.. 2 kg with retractable tap...and it is huge! only less than $60 including shipping.. 大赚 man!

we have a total of 13 items... we only unbox some... but because reno work is still ongoing... we will upload it once we are done w the reno...

the tiler will come and build the concrete support for the sink this sat... like finally :thumbs up: ... after 1 month plus of waiting for the shipment...

meanwhile the following are done..

- re-runing of wires

- air con trunking done...

. Chosen N from Renoguyz as our renovator

To be frank, it is really hard to choose between N and V (from V'Image) as both offer very competitive price and they are known to me for their good workmanship. In the end, we chose N as his quote is the lowest with plumbing and electrical works all inclusive. We think it is better to get one person to settle all, easier for us to liaise with one.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

. N from Renoguyz

a very popular guy in renotalk. we sent him an email and his reply was prompt and quotation was one of the lowest. The best thing is that when we met him, he revised the quote on the spot and sent us the revised quote immediately. Super fast :good: . I personally like his blunt character, when i gave certain suggestions about what to do, and he thinks it is not as nice, he will give a "are you sure you want to do this" face.. haha.. :huh: [shortlisted, of course..

Thank you for your honest review!
