You have to check Ms May from Amcon, they go by per sqm about SGD110 depend on exchange rate + services charge SGD10 per item + gst. After looking at your above item from taobao, the cost of this cabinet is too expensive about SGD700.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James N Joean 8 Report post Posted November 9, 2013 Hi Frankman, thanks!I see... so I can safely say for each 'bulky' item, I should add between S$200 to S$250 to the price on the site eh?Yes, the cabinet is not cheap.... but I think it can cost 2 to 3 times more in singapore....I'm more worried they same me a replica that doesn't look 100% like the photo (the photo looks like some magazine photo)What's the chances of such thing happening?

There is no guarantee and you can't do a refund or exchange. Some seller there, are famous for changing the colour of item that you want without informing you if they run out of stock for that colour and buying from taobao you have to prepare yourself to accept all this problem. But it still will save you some money from buying through taobao. Edited November 9, 2013 by frankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
