BunBun 5 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Jessie, If you buy furnitures from JB, the furniture shop will do the delivery for you as long as you pay for the levy tax & transport fee on top of the furniture costs. I got almost all my furniture stuff from JB actually. Mafiawife bought some lights from JB too. There are loads of lighting shops in JB & I believe mafiawife bought her lights from one of the shops opp taman sentosa area there. Also if you want to get lights & fans, see if you can ask the furniture shop to deliver them at the same time with the furniture without any issue from the msia customs. Sure will ask you to pay some sort of tax or fee to bring them out I think based on what I heard. As long as you pay the tax levy & transport fee, the furniture shop will deliver. Just ask them if they can deliver the lights, fans together with the furniture. need help... does anyone goes to JB buy lights / ceiling fan / sofas (furnitures)...etc??? cos my hb was suggesting we make a trip to JB and do some shopping there.
