You don't have to wait, you can shop online with taobao and get the forwarder to ship in for you. I usually to shop in Hong Kong but frankly I don't cover every shop and every corner. I prefer to shop online surf everything I am interested in.

My wall clock from Taobao.

Hi frankman, thank you so much for sharing your purchases.

Can you share the link of the tap? I'm also looking for a tap like this!

Btw, can you also share the contact of your forwarder? Someone quoted me $250 per cubic meter. How much did yours charge you?

Many thanks! :)

My forwarder that I used charged me as below:

AMCON EXPRESS Quotation:

RMB550.00/Cube Metre (S$110 if base on exchange rate of 5) + S$35 per declare document + GST.

It's not so advisable to buy toilet bowl from taobao unless you technical know how because their dimension of the sanitary system is different from us and don't take the risk, please take note. Like the sense touch switches I bought from taobao, evenly my electrician install it correctly but it wouldn't work, I have guide them and you have google & read their technical instruction. At the end is a win - win situation for my electrician and me, they learn something and this switch has electronic circuit inside with only 2 wires can make a 2 way switch work, normal switch is 6 wires.

Talking about ordering home furniture from taobao most important is about dimension to make sure you physically take the measurement of your new house and plan all the spacing correctly.

How do they calculate the GST? 7% of the price of the goods? Or?

EDITED:

I've contacted May and she told me the GST is 7% is of the value of the goods, regardless how much we buy. $400 limit doesn't apply here as she's shipping by sea. :)

Oh I can't remember exactly. Think it was in hundreds too.

Anyway I've decided to go without wallpapers so didn't bother asking more :)

Hello Frankman;

I bumped into your post here and your home renovation looks really nice.

I just got my home last week and is in the midst of working out the renovation cost.

Are you able to share the total cost of your renovation excl. furnishing and appliances? could you PM me here?

Thanks in-advance.
