Buying Furniture From Tao Bao

Hi,

Has anyone tried buying furniture like sofa set and bedframe from website like Tao Bao? Had checked on the price is very much cheaper compare to Singapore and also inclusive of shipment.

i've bought quite a few pendant lights and track lights, and even curtains and chairs from Tao Bao.

Prices are a lot cheaper but sometimes, buyer will request additional amount for shipment although it's stated shipment inclusive. Even if shipment is indeed inclusive within China, you usually have to get someone to buy it for you like daigou65. As they charge by volume or weight, shipping will come up to quite a lot..

it is indeed still cheaper but you take the risk..like one of my lights were yellowish, not very white and I had to get my contractor to spray paint it white for me..

i just bought one clock, two pendant lights from Taobao. not sure how the outcome is, but i seen so many replicas in singapore that are charging over $100 while my light is only30plus and shipping about $12.. so it's worth a gamble. I don't know how its going to be.. so just hope nothing is spoilt.
