Here you go, these are the pics from fellow blogger vicx1234 whom had installed and in used for months.

Generally the packaging are pretty solid, the sink itself is sturdy and dont sound hollow when knock on.

Shipping base on AMCON rates will be RMB550 + SGD35 (Documentation) + 7% GST

RMB550 is for 1 cubic metre, so you are better off buying more from Taobao to make up the volume.

Hi Ocean eleven,

Would like to check on Amcon/taobao.

When we consolidate the final list to May with all the purchased items with their price, may I know Custom will charge GST based on respective item's subtotal or based on the gross total of that declare list. I bought more than S$400 taobao items, plan to ship over thus need to know about this last part from all taobao guru

Thanks.

It is base on the declare list, else Amcon wouldnt ask for it in the first place.

Items packaging have no price listing as it is domestic delivery, no packing list/proforma invoice require.

Hence the list to be submitted for customs checking and declaration.

Any other experienced folks, please correct me if I am wrong.

I have an open air balcony which we built a full height window to enclose it as part of the living room.

Not really a fan of open air balcony, i deem it as space wastage more than a luxury.

Cannot imagine myself sitting there in the morning with a cuppa and reading paper.

Looking around the neighborhood, I realized many had relegated the balcony to a laundry area and THIS is the very thing I wanna avoid.

So in order to make it part of the living area, the floor needs to be leveled. HDB had since enforce rules regarding leveling with concrete.

One would have to employ a PE as well as using light weight cement/concrete to level up which is costly and time time consuming.

Else there is only one other method. Do it with wood.

However this will have a hollow feel to it but fortunately that is the end of the unit and should have limited activities.

Guess this is called "You cant have the best of both world."

There was a slight hiccup during the construction as I am not too please with some workmanship issues which I brought up to Mr. Foo.

He, went a step better and dismantled all the platform himself for he found some gaps issues not to his liking.

Kudos to him on his diligence and not letting it pass. He liaised with the flooring guys to redo the whole platform again.

This time, only with his supervision and approval, the floors are laid.

How was the quality for the poster? I once got a painting and was disappointed with it.

Seeing in pix is really different from the real thing.

Painting and and posters might have a slight difference.

This was how the balcony look like after all had been tore down:

Now after the white powder coated full height window & grill are installed.

The balcony leveled and flooring laid.

Pardon the dark pictures.
