Do u know how long is their delivery? 7 days? b4 u commit to buy from them, do ask clearly abt the payment mode and final amt (incl EMS freight) usually they need a CHINA bank account to make transfer. if not, will need to arrange direct $$ transfer via Western Union (at a fee of S$20 per tt) But this is very risky since u do not noe the person at all. as for me, I see the rating the seller has earned and the feedback page for any possible complaints. then me oso limit my purchase to certain amount. so even if it is a failed purchase, the involvement is not so big IMHO. me received my items within 3 days oso my chinese writing is not great as well. Me used alot of goggle translate to help out Or a simple way, type taobao spree in search engine. it may lead u to a local blog where they gather orders for local buyers. pay abit of fee to enjoy the breeze of online shopping! that's what I heard of...

Yeah, quite risky buying thru the web as yr item might not arrived after yr payment. I had brought some wall decal from the local forum but the flowers turn out to be bigger than what i had in mind. Still can't decide whether to paste or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdnest 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2008 At last, my reno is considered to be completed (though my DIY writing table is not yet done ) My last carpentry is my MBR TV feature wall console. As the only wall we could spare for TV is on the right of our bed, I requested to make the feature 'adjustable' ie the whole console can be opened (like a door) and tilted to an angle for ez viewing and push back when not watching tv. using the same leather-like laminate we used for our MBR wardrobe... Feature wall 'closed' Feature wall 'opened' shall do a review of the whole reno soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
