i see...anyway i just asked the sales some basic questions 1. they have a standard packing for 30pcs of 12W square downlights (dimension 55cmx37cmx27cm) 2. for T5, they can custom make length for you (set w/driver or just tube alone). max length is 1.2m for a tube hope this helps

hmmm...you wanna call him? as in IDD? you can't talk to them via the live chat button? they have sales online, so response is fast

i was looking for tiles for my entire unit...to tile with SG ready stock tiles, its setting me back by almost 3k thats why thought of taobao since the tiles are from China anyway but after serious thinking, not worth the risk as the colors may differ

the packaging measurements won't be standard. you have to liaise with the shop owner on how many boxes she will be packing your stuff into. my previous 0.17 cubic metres is stuffed with 8 x 6W and 3 x 15w down lights are you able to talk to them?

hi, you considering this? seriously? i had wanted to do it but was worried about the tiles being broken when they reached or the colors being uneven etc... don't dare to take the risk

i am short of 0.3 cubic metres for my upcoming shipment. you wanna tag along?

even if one side is 3m long, but the other dimensions of the box have to be calculated as well. ie. a 3m by 0.2m by 0.2m box to contain a roll of carpet only gives you 0.12 cubic metres if you have 3 of such carpets, 0.12 x 3 = 0.36 cubic metres you better start shopping for more stuff

I can give you their singapore office number but i usually communicate with them through QQ (china's whatsapp) as I used to work in Shanghai for 3 yrs so I got an account. There are cheaper forwarders out there, some as low as SGD100 but it would be slower than this one.

its not a bomb shelter. This is a 30yr old flat...its just that this particular block is prefab. Please share some ideas...my ID wanted to put a full height black mirror on the side wall and conceal the store room door...but, its still not that appeasing to me

according to my records, there are 3 separate packages for this vanity table. sizes are 0.07, 0.08 and 0.25. this adds up to 0.4 cubic metres. 0.4 x SGD130 = SGD52 for shipping. Taxes and GST, i estimate to be ard SGD10. Item cost price RMB1491. Overall, approximately SGD368

sorry, forgot to tell you, they have 15W downlights. I bought 3 of them. cost for this is RMB59 each

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.

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.

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

After eagerly waiting for close to 3 months to complete the transaction and get the keys, HDB dropped a nuclear bomb saying that NONE of the walls of my new purchase can be hacked.... Now all the previous ID designs are gone down the drain, as so is my dream home layout. I am stuck with a storeroom right in the middle of my living room and kitchen horrors!! Anyone facing the same problem as me? how did you go around that storeroom? really hated the small hole that leads into the kitchen! Please share some ideas....SOS

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.

i am renovating my unit in a few weeks time. Had bought lots of stuff on taobao and brought over via container shipping. Takes about 1 week to arrive.

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.
