Hi all I am in the market for a new wine fridge, preferably something that can hold more than 120 btls. Was looking at the Bosch but there are so many bad reviews of the CS it is scary. Ideas anyone?

Yes, Singpost delivery is very bad. They always slip the card into my letter box asking us to self collect, claiming that no one was home when they called. Ridiculous because someone is normally home and if not, my guards always help me take delivery. My guards told me they never saw the delivery guy at all so who's lying really.... When I told the Singpost counter staff about it, the aunty pointed out her mail room to me to show me the number of items that were not 'deliverable'. She said many people had complained and told me to take a form to write in. Such a waste of time, I think I will just kpkb them on their FB page if they have one. Most effective way of lighting a fire under all these lazy bottoms. Someone working at Singpost told me the postal services was short on manpower and thus, this is what happens. Singpost has diversified into so many other areas they seem to have forgotten their core biz. Guess this is what privatisation does...

I absolutely concur. Thank u Ong.

Good morning. Perhaps I have been lucky and never had to pay extra for the delivery service. I have had free delivery 3 times on Amazon, twice by DHL and once by i Parcel and numerous times from iHerb. All the other shipping was paid for, even if not expedited. I think delivery companies know full well their jobs. IMHO, if consumers are expected to pay extra for weekend deliveries, then it should be stated so, as in the case of IKEA. Consumers can then decide if they want to pay for this extra convenience else have it delivered to their office etc. If every Tom, Dick or Harry delivery men wants to ask for extras to deliver during their overtime hours, then it defeats the entire free shipping offer by Amazon and iHerb. Both these companies, being very service oriented, will definitely inform customers of any extra charges or of the 'official delivery times' don't u think? It is almost as if your packages are being held hostage. It is not about paying the dude. It is the principle of the matter.

Never had such a thing happen to me and I have had the DHL man come to my place even on a Sunday which surprised me. If no one else has had such an experience, maybe you can talk to Amazon CSO. Sounds like someone trying to make a quick buck...

Yes, that is true. But u can buy the ramekins and cocottes etc to make up the 5 pieces. Haha. Is there free shipping for this one? Should be?

It was at Tangs and Robinsons! Just saw it about 2 weeks back. Don't know if it is still on. Beri good hor? Both helper and hubby will scream bloody murder if I bought. No more space in my new cabinets alr.

It is so lovely but I can't figure why this one is in 11 inches. Always thought they only came in even configurations for the round ones. Maybe I am wrong or the US has different sizes. I love Le Crueset. There was quite a good promo recently. If u buy 5 pieces, 50% off all of them, 4 and 40 % off so on so forth. I normally buy them when I go to the outlet stores overseas because it is so much cheaper then I will sea mail back. Haha. Give it a shot.

Yes, I just posted it online to see if anyone wants to take it. It was my initial plan to do that when HN said F & P will only deliver at end Aug but now the delivery is a month early so I have less time to get rid of the fridge. ALso my own fault lah cos I super enthu to have new fridges in and finally be done with the kitchen works so I can start some work on my balcony... Heh. Hopefully I sell it!

Actually the Fisher and Paykel guys will remove it for me FOC when they do delivery but very sayang to throw it away because it is still in fantastic condition. Partly cos I just hiao, want to change new fridges. Also, my hubby has a lot of things to store in fridge so rather consolidate into 2 side by side and more importantly, matching fridges than to let him keep in the bar fridges... Already have friend taking over my smaller Panasonic so just left this big one. Borrow the popularity of Kim's thread and add the photos here, just in case got people want. Tks tks!

Wah, kee siao already lah.... Haha. I need to get rid of my 4.5 y/o LG side by side fridge which is still in working condition. Any ideas anyone? Sell/ Karung Guni better?

I did it thru Borderlinx before! It is apparently good for killing ants etc. Got it about 2 years back. Can't say it worked fantastically on the pest. If it's for pest control, then I suggest call professional pest controllers better.... Have not tried it on laundry or tiles. I think there is some pink acidic liquid (can be found in hardware shops) that can do the stain removal.

More stuff from Amazon arrived. They sent it via i parcel which uses Singpost = yucks. For people looking for silicon oven mitts, the Mastrad ones I got are going for 5 times the Amazon price at Tangs!

Hi, Here are the pics. Couple of points to note: 1. I don't have a water heater2. There are some extra piping for the under counter alkaline water filter. HTH! http://imageshack.us/a/img856/5195/kw60.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img542/7647/qkb2.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img22/3845/hrkw.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img43/7272/efns.jpg

Hey Kim Yes, can do but I am not in town at the moment. Will do it asap!

Wah wah! Congrats! U didn't buy the pot filler version? Go go everyone.

Yes, you should walk around the store! They have some interesting things I feel, although sometimes ridiculously priced when compared to what Amazon offers it at. It is much more tolerable than trying to walk around Sia Huat. The box is **** big so I am not surprised there is no free shipping. It is also quite heavy... Ya, **** heng. It has always been DHL for me and the same uncle too! IMO, DHL is the best of the lot. Never any problems with them when I order from iHerb or Amazon.

Heh, you should, especially if there is free shipping! As for trash cans, I really wanted a Simple Human one and was going to ship it to the horror of my hubby who thinks the bin is overpriced. No free shipping for the 40 liter one and when all added up, it would have worked out to the price Homefix is selling it for. Anyway, I went to browse around Tott and found a Simple Human wannabe machine with foot pedal and 2 sections so I can use one for recycling and another for food waste. Was less than SGD 70. Will post pics later when I get a chance. You might want to check Tott, was surprised to find my bin there!

There are half gallon ones too but they are not sold by Amazon. Those are the largest, followed by quart, 1.5 pints and so on so forth. I did some conversion before I bought. Think one quart is 943 ml and a pint is 473 ml. So one quart = 2 pints? WTH, the US of A should just join the rest of us in the metric measurement thing.

Good morning! I did not watch the plumber work but he used everything except the flexible s/s hoses that came with it. I did not have a plastic piece as well. Everything came as per my photo. Anyway, don't panic. The plumber will probably be able to sort things out. Subscribe to my theory of positive thinking when I took the risk of buying the faucet. Great job on getting the faucet and sink. Post pics when it's done. It will be beautifooooooooooo.

Got the quart size. Wanted the largest ones. Trying to cut down on plastics at home...

More stuff from Amazon arrived today even though the estimated shipping date was end July! They sent me an email on Fri saying the parcel had been sent out and it is alr here today! For people who golf, the Srixon balls are a third cheaper on Amazon than at Far East Shopping Centre here. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hey, here it is! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00091SDR2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Heh, I don't know how it was mounted cos my contractor did it for me. As for the other tap, it's for the alkaline/ filtered/ acidic water and that explains the big blue container in the sink cos it collects the acidic water.
