Basins for the Washrooms

My SGD35 basin bought locally. It is really small due to orientation of the washroom.

Cost so low as it is left over from a project (according to the shop)

I deemed it as a value buy, how far wrong can one gets when most are also selling white porcelain? :lol:

Sink from Taobao. Seem like off the shelf already. Cost RMB335

Just wondering how "TOTO" is it? :D

So my 2 sinks cost only approx. SGD105 excluding shipping and GST.

What can I say when SGD105 may not even get half a sink in some shops locally. :sport-smiley-004:

Can share tb link for wash basin?

Cheers

As mentioned in my posting, this sink is off the shelf already.

You can search for more or similar one from TB or Tmall.

Wonderful stuff you have there.

Maybe you could share some a blog post on ordering off Taobao in general?

It looks a little frightful at times :)

Also, do you have a link to the mirror / hat stand?

And the Sangean Radio: does it work on 220V ?

Thanks

Hi bro OceanEleven,

I've not bought anything from Taobao before.

I'm making a tiny words document with screen shots penning down the steps to buy using credit card/Nets.

Can i send you thru email and u see if my steps are correct?

If yes, can you PM me ur email address?

thanks~

You have 1400mm in your cabinet for a TV?

IMO, you may want to plan for a bigger TV depending on your interests... and buy the biggest and best TV you can afford. They last for many years and you won't want buyer's remorse.

Also put twice as many wall sockets as you think you will need. Trust me, you will use all of them ;)

Hi bro OceanEleven,

Sorry to trouble you..... i checked DBS online rates, the exchange rate for RMB is about 4.92. Does buying using DBS credit card follows this rate? If yes, I personally think its not that bad...

Also, whats the difference between buying with NETS and with singapore credit card? Is it only the 3% surcharge?

Thanks~~

I made some post on Taobao and Tmall earlier. Post #87 I think.

Buying is easy, meeting the 1 cubic meter to maximize the freight cost is a little tough.

I use a transformer for the Sangean radio, the price of inconvenience when buying electronics from the States.

Still I deem it a pretty good deal. The radio built is solid, feel heavy and sound is crisp.

I am impress by the volume the radio churns out. :good:

Aint no expert on TB. Just been there, done that and time to give back.

Wanted to venture into sound system but alas not now with such miserable budget.

Was looking at the Akitmate previously but have to put to a halt for the time being. :angry2:
