    which shop did you get your items from? which forwarder? do you mind sharing?

    could you also share the link for the table? I think it will fit in perfectly for me!

    When on a budget, taobao is your best friend. Some of the items that I will be buying from taobao:

    - Downlights & drivers
    - T5 overlay cable
    - Dining lights
    - Bomb shelter light
    - kitchen light
    - Rain shower
    - Common toilet cabinet and sink
    - Masterbed room toilet cabinet and sink
    - Bathroom Accessories
    - Common room light
    - TV wall mount
    - mirror cabinet
    - Kitchen Sink and tap
    :jawdrop: Thats a huge load of items ill be buying! I have estimated I will be saving nearly 7K on shopping on taobao. will calculate the exact figure on another day. today im just too tired after just having finished having a convo tag with my taobao agent and my id.

    I will be purchasing ALOT of items from taobao to save cost, which also means, there might be delays here and there. because this is the first time im using this agent, he is making me lose some hair.

    There was an item (master bed room cabinet) that was ordered wrongly (agent ordered the wrong side - he ordered left basin while i NEEDED right because of the window above the left hand side) which i caught even before it reached singapore. ( i call it intuition..my hubby calls it paranoia. 8| ) whatever it is, i caught it abit too late. just when it was delivered to the warehouse in china, so im paying S$50 to send it back to the seller and then sending it back to me.

    Anyway, my reno is to start on the 25th hopefully, but without the master toilet cabinet, the entire thing will be delayed. I'm damned near hysterical because tt means i have to pay extra to have the plumber come back and fix it on a later date, or else risk delaying the entire reno. BTW. why m i almost hysterical? because this problem has dragged on for 3 days, since Thursday till today on Sat.

    I am HOPING today, the problem is finally settled and no more surprises from my agent.

    Johnny saw how upset i was, he thought awhile and said "nvm. i ask the plumber come back at another time to fix for you coz i can see u are quite upset. China side u cant do anything, then let me do something." thats damned sweet okie. after squeezing his prices like crazy and he pulls something out like tt, its really damned nice of him especially because the master cabinet can be delivered probably about April or MAY, when the entire reno is OVER.

    I just feel damned fortunate to have an ID who doesnt mind cutting into his commission to help me. :wub:
