Need this top hung sliding glass door for kitchen. :/ ya i know! but i lost my cash voucher and they say don't do replacement of lost cash vouchers dunno why they have serial number if they can't trace it. hope you get them to quote you soon! i think sun sun glass is faster so if you can't wait, get from them. besglas seems a bit slow, many they're too popular or their factory too packed with orders i was told my shower glass from sun sun glass will come in tomorrow! but no news from besglas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like you may need to replace the chipped glass. My recent IKEA purchase is the LOCK ceiling light (an all times favourite) my white v6's had missing parts so it can't be installed. called the company i bought from, said they will call me once agent sends them the parts. hope it'll be soon. my dining area needs ceiling fan as of today, agent doesn't have stock in yet. maybe i should call the agent directly i think it's rather crazy to have to wait 2 months for ceiling fan... as for the chipped glass, i think i can replace it if i bring it to a glass shop to ask them to fabricate another one for me.. might be costly though. no news from Lena about the compensation, she said she'll do something though the following are my functional ceiling fans. fan in mbr, black alpha v6 $270 fan in kitchen, colourful baby $240 white one will have to wait.. it's annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please try to use a white tape to mask the screw thread of the fan light cover screw as the rotating motion can cause it to vibrate and eventually cause the screw HEAD to loosen and then the WHOLE glass cover will drop. I was advised by my own client who installed the baby fan before accident happens which happen in the middle of the night and shocked his baby boy.

Mine anyhow here and there already costed me about $30k without those toys erm that reno bill of 8840.21 only includes all the hacking, wetworks, walls, plastering, tiling, painting. does not include carpentry (as total items not completely purchased yet), electrical+plumbing (which i already listed separately), glass works (as total pricing not confirmed yet), door works (total pricing not confirmed yet). 8840.21 only includes the hacking by 1st contractor, paying the 2nd contractor for labour cost, raw materials and tiles. the rest of the cost for items purchased you can see in my signature Something to warn u before you regreted...
