U are right! :D

Have already been looking at Taobao to see what are the things that we can buy. But I am still indecisive about which agent to choose from and how to calculate shipment costs.... :dunno:

You can check out OceanEleven Blog which he got a detailed write up

It's best to get the HDB contractor to remove it as it was their work. This will minimise any unforeseen arguments in the future. Although I don't think it's a very big deal, should be removed in no time.

Thanks for your suggestion! I think it is better to remove it too. will inform HDB when they call for us to collect the key. If not, I will see if I can just scrap it off myself. save the trouble.. :lol::lol:

My Hdb permit is approved! :sport-smiley-004:

Was checking the hdb website on Saturday and realised that it was already approved on Friday. Now we will wait for Alan to start the reno. :lol:

Finally bought my first item from Taobao!!!:lol: :lol:

spent a whole 8 hours surfing taobao website to select my lights, chatting with the sellers, exploring how to buy and how to make payment... I am so glad that it is done and I really felt a sense of satisfaction after it has been done. :P

These are what I have bought

The above purchases are bought by myself, with Amcon as my forwarding agent.

I also bought a basin cabinet with a greece feel through 65daigou because the seller can only do 物流, ie. they only deliver item to a specific point. I am not sure if 65daigou is able to purchase for me but I just try my luck.

Why not use Peeka for the basin cabinet? Your basin cabinet will most likely be packed flat. Peeka charges by the volume whereas 65Daigou charges by weight... hence i think Peeka is a better choice than 65Daigou in this sense.

:o I see. Thanks for sharing. 65Daigou has just returned me the payment as the seller did not response. Think I will try getting it through Peeka. :rolleyes:

I normally uses Peeka because my shipment contains lightings etc. Peeka will help its customers to check their items first to make sure the items are in good condition before repacking them to save on volume. So far, I am pretty pleased with Peeka's service! :)

Bought a sink and tap from taobao today. They are exactly the same as the pics below but will be white in colour to match our theme. :dancingqueen:
