Just to add on, 65daigou also charges 8% agent fee on your shipping cost from China to Singapore.

So Timex is cheaper in Amazon. But I thought it is made in China? :dunno:

Yes, there are certain stuff still cheaper in the US than China so that's why even my friends in China still buy stuff from Amazon. Timex, Coach, cosmetics etc are still cheaper outside of China. Don't think there's any precise category that I can tell which is definitely cheaper in China ... Let me think ...

Ummm, the same clothes made in China are definitely cheaper (e.g. Uniqlo, Columbia, Northface) ... Electronics are not cheaper unless it's accessories and add-ons ... I believe I did look at hansgrohe (or was it grohe?) taps - they were definitely cheaper cos some ranges are made in china ... I believe ppl have bought curtains etc and it's cheaper ... Ahh, then the copycat brands are cheaper e.g. emoi, and not forgetting the "OEM" manufacturers...

Thank you for the detail explanations. Really appreciate it. :bow:

For 65daiou, the exchange rate still ok. 8% agent fee is just like HSG. Shipping cost is cheaper than from US to here.

Last question, dragonnite, are u buying the stool? :notti:

I think got 2 other interested party including me... :dribble:

hmmm, disregarding my PM, let me see if the shop can ship directly to us and how much it would cost since there could be 4 of us ... ahh, the guy replied - nope ... ****...

going by 65daigou, ordering 4 (assuming all transparent) drives down the cost considerably - about SGD113 each compared to SGD121... wrong - i recalculated with the shipment, it costs about SGD126 so it's more expensive from this seller... hmmm

incidentally, i'm looking at this shop instead - the track record is better...

Thanks for sharing! I assume the prices are for ABS plastic? Any idea how much is the fibreglass version (if they are selling)?

Hi dragonnite, if no one else is interested, maybe you should go ahead. The offer is only for 4 chairs right? No 2 chairs hor?

If not convenient, I will buy later when I gather more items.
