Shopping Trip In Jb

Featured Replies

Hi all,

For those who are keen on going to our neighbors to get your electrical stuff, here is a preview of what you can get.

Unfortunately, this is all that I could fit into my car...

Elmark UFO fan with dimmer lights & remote (DMD 5)

Elmark 921 fan with remote (EMD 4)

Details of the fans can be found on www.elmark.com.sg.

The rest are 4 inch PLC lights with two 18W lamps & ballast.

The damage?

Elmark UFO - RM 285 (S$ 127 after paying GST at Customs Tuas)

Elmark 921 - RM 188 (S$83 with GST)

PLC lights - RM 28 ($12.30 with GST)..

Cheers!

I passed by the Tuas checkpoint and entered the red lane. Showed receipt, paid the tax and went to secondary clearance. Thereafter, the immigration/customs officers just glanced at the items & receipt, and let us pass. That's it.

For the lights and fans, so far I haven't installed. Will keep you posted. But anyhow, the shop checked and inspected every single piece of item physically in front of the buyer. With 46 PLC lights, 92 ballasts and 5 fans to check, can you imagine how long it took them?

depends on how individuals look at it on their own perspectives,for me its definitely a no-no considering all the hassles like time taken to travel,testing of all items,custom clearance and not forgetting most scary part = rampant day light robbery,theft and so on...just cant imagine fate of losing my car for a pittance saving...

Wow,

I just called up one of the shops to check on this Alpha V6 fan. They are selling at S$360, excluding installation. Installation is $35. Seems like getting from JB is much much cheaper,even with the additional of 7% GST. FYI

Cheers!

Thanks.

easiest is to find all the various locations' addresses....then get a johor map n then use it to drive around for directions...quite hard to describe online...

This is the best I can do thus far. For those interested in JB shopping for lightings and fans, this is the most simplified route I can offer on map.
