can you help me with mandarin words? I am looking for those decorative ladders you see as decorative shelf...what do I type? Also wooden coffee table and side tables THank you so much! This is for taobao searches.

If I remember correctly, I think i paid SS$80 for shipping....comes via dhl...nicely packed...with bubble wrap and everything. I thought I would have to frame it, but nope....it is one of those...the canvas wraps around a wooden frame kind of framing. It has the hook at the back....so just need to put nails into the wall....nails because it is a three panel. Considering the quality of the painting, and it being framed...we thought it was quite worth it.

this is the painting i bought http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/A-Walk-in-the-Rain-Hand-painted-Canvas-Art-Set/5105715/product.html

So far, i have only bought clothes and a painting from them. Personally, i thought the painting was an excellent buy. It is not a poster, but someone actually painted it....and it is unique...not the typical stuff you see replicated

Yes i have shared those links in this thread to make it easier to refer already Have you got any replica furniture or light shops to recommend? Looking for stuff that can be flat packed...

What are some of the stuff you have ordered from taobao? Furniture?

Hi Kim! I am actually on your tblog right now reading through the items from amazon. I have also liked the fb page...but i thought maybe one just dedicated to taobao might come in handy...easier to zoom in and get tips. heh! Btw,, do keep posting when the sales are for like robinsons, mayer etc....that will come in very handy.....I am sure a lot of people will appreciate it. How do you become a robinson member?

Thanks for the tip! Will check it out!

I will get the ball rolling...from renotalk, type in "Jomoo 水龙头" and there is a china made brand that seems to have good reviews from the local chinese and from some forum members.

I have searched through the forum, but there isn't a thread on good sites fellow forumers have found deals on taobao. There are heaps of good reviews on how reasonable and good certain items like flat packed furniture, lighting (from pendant to LED lights), and even kitchen/bathroom fixtures like taps etc. Can successful buyers share the links to the taobao dealers they used? And any dealers we should avoid. Very keen on buying some stuff there to save money, but my mandarin isn't the best....hoping for some help. Thank you!

can someone PM me Mr K's contact pls?

Seeking forumers help....what are some of the sights you have used, and the quality has been good. If you can share the links that would be great!!! Totally new to Taobao. Thank you in advance!!!

Can you share the taobao links you found good for lighting and hardware please
