Kim & I had mentioned before, do not use Vpost.

Either Borderlinx, Comgateway or Hopshopgo. As I know, they charged USD70/fan.

hopshopgo charge me 100sgd for the fan..

Hi there

Been following this topic but only halfway through reading.

Was inspired to buy a Kraus apron front kitchen sink via this forum. Ordered it on Monday and looks like it is already in SG today. Looking forward to receiving it although I have not confirmed the start date of my kitchen remodel.

I need a faucet for the sink and will like to have a professional kitchen one with pull down spray. Am very tempted to purchase a Kraus or if DH gets over the price, a Grohe K7.

My contractor advised me against buying the faucet from overseas and to go to a local retailer. Have been to HK and SSC but their stuff looks quite crappy and the price is not attractive at all. Have not visited Grohe retailers but I understand the prices leave much to be desired so am looking to purchasing online.

Has anyone purchased a Kraus faucet before? Any problems with fittings?

Will appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Hi, since your contractor already warned you. I believe he may not help u source for fittings if u decide to buy a Kraus tap or any tap from USA.

It is not impossible and I had read a few cases of people managing to find the US fittings here.

But to be safe, why not buy from here?

U can search around this forum, there are people who had bought from the site.

True - Dun buy taps from USA, the thread sizes are different... At your own risk...

Hi

Tks for replies.

Yes, I did look at insani24 but they don't carry the Kraus, only the Grohe K7. Went to Interior Affairs to look at the Grohe K7 but it only has the spray and doesn't come with a pot filler like the Kraus does. Basically with the Kraus, we can use the faucet 2 ways.

Also looked at TB and Lightinthebox but unsure of the quality so am half hearted about buying from there. Prices are great though!

Will check out in greater detail before I purchase the USA Kraus faucet. Think there are some others who have purchased and installed but I have lost the thread.

My Kraus apron front sink arrived today. Took all over 4 days from USA! Looks great and the packinging is fantastic! Great idea Kim76!

Thanks again.

Looks like a good deal but wouldn't the shipping be a killer?

I don't think u can mount on the SS. The surface is too thin!

For the type of bowl, u better make yr own decision. I don't cook as often so a single 23" is good enough for me.

Some like big single 30/32" and some like double....

I was looking for cookware set recently, almost got one set from cuisinart to ship to sg from amazon.com, and this set can be used on induction hob which is what i needed. shipping is pretty reasonable too. but eventually decided against it as i realised its made in china.

then i made a trip down to isetan to see what other cookware sets is in the market and saw Fissler. love the quality of the stainless steel but the price in SG is very very expensive. retail price of the classic series is close to 4 figures for a medium size pot but they are having a 20% disc.so i quickly went back and search online and settled for a set that cost the price of a pot in SG and shipped to my doorstep. this is the set i got.
