My Taobao Hme

Recommended Posts

Im finding downlights in TB as well cos i really need alot (Whole house on downlights). Went to lighting shop, cheapest i can find in Singapore $18 @ 12Watt. Brand not important to me as most of them are Made in China.

Still looking around in TB, the last one i found is $12 per pic 12Watt anyone has better lobang please share...

As for wattage, my contractor says actually 10 watt is bright enough, if you go for higher watt, then can buy lesser downlights, if u goin for low wattage maybe need more.

$18 and $12 comparison, $12 shipping will become how much?

Can share where you found in Singapore at $18? Me maybe just buy in Singapore instead.

Saw a few in TB between $10-$12 exludes shipping, plus shipping should be around $15++.

$18 is provided you are buying 30-40 pieces, cant remember shop name its at New World Centre, Jalan Berseh Road. Shop is facing Berseh Food centre,

i am renovating my unit in a few weeks time.

Most of the stuff have arrived and I am quite happy with their quality. Will have to wait to install before knowing how they well they work. But for the retractable ceiling fan/light, its working perfectly! current mum's house is using it.

I like your 2nd bathroom vanity table set. Once your item is here, do review on the quality k?

U using amcon?

The sea freight forwarder is China goods resource pte ltd. they charge by cubic metre (1m x 1m x 1m) for SGD130. So whatever you can stuff into 1 cubic metre, you just have to pay SGD 130 (excluding custom taxes and GST). For this, usually i will list the goods value 40-60% lower so that taxes wont be so high.

hmmm....the cost is 29RMB.

The package is about 0.17 cubic metres, 0.17 x SGD130 = SGD22 (with a total of 11 units of downlights) which makes out SGD2 shipping for each. Taxes & GST is about SGD0.80

overall, approximately SGD8.80 per unit

This vanity table is made of stainless steel...if you go into any showroom to see, it would cost approximately SGD600-700. I saw one at My Showroom bathroom accessories shop. The price is for whole package, mirror + 2 side trays. For your info, the mirror comes with LED (along the border) but it is not exactly perfect as the on/off touch switch there is a patch of white. It doesn't really blend together with the side borders..but at this price, i got no complaint. :)

May I ask, if I wanna purchase 3 of this carpets (2mx3m type), which agent should I go for?

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=2224749913

Thanks!

hi, i believe the carpets would be rolled up and boxed for shipment. If its so, it would most likely be under 1 cubic metre. Anything that is less than 1 cubic metre would be charged as 1 cubic metre. Therefore, perhaps you wanna source for more items to bring up your package size to 1 cubic metre or ask ard if there are others intending to buy stuff so that you guys can combine package. This would be more economical.

Otherwise, there is international air freight option available on taobao. this takes 3-5 days to reach. Cheapest cost is RMB35 for 1st 1kg and subsequently RMB24 for every 1kg weight. Usually i would use 4PX (air freight forwarder) for this.
