I'm more worried it'll be expensive.

I'm considering buying vanity cabinet from Taobao.. not sure what kinda shipping costs there'll be.

Bro lucky huat huat,

The basin looks good man! Can try 65daigou.com cos according to their website, they will check n QC b4 shopping it back from China.

I m planning to do my 1st shipping w them soon. Hehe

When you buy fragile items, it is a risk you take.

I bought lights, benches, clocks, kitchen cabinets, dining chairs, picture frames from Taobao.

It was risky. But I save 50% on some of my purchases. If I had discovered Taobao earlier, I would have bought my Kohler taps and shower and basins from Taobao.

Shipping will generally cost about $150 for a 1 metre long flat packed item. I found Peeka to be cheaper when shipping larger volume items while 65daigou is cheaper with smaller volume items. And Peeka ships to your doorstep, you really don't want to be lugging the huge item around.

Do a comparison of all the agents and see who is cheaper. Calculate a 1 metre by 1 metre box.

Hi whatte,

do they wrap the items properly in bubble plastic or styrofoam box in a box when they shipped over?

wow u bot a lot things from taobao and i assume that no damage to your items?

We bought our crystal light, pendant lights and led lights, total close to s$900 from taobao.

First shipment of lights have been fixed and look great. Even though our new neighbor likes them too,

Do explore more. But there is pris and cons.

If u want trustworthy, then can buy from lightning.com for Phillis brand.

I never shop for lighting in taobao but I did shop for another thing in taobao.

I a pair of Yonex Badminton Racket from Taobao. They selling very cheap and I got the very high end one because I looking for lightweight racket.

The racket cost 128 RMB = less than S$30... The actually product cost more than two hundred Singapore dollar.

When the day it arrived, I am very happy and sad... is a replica... Lesson learnt.

My friend actually order a lighting with lots of crystals for 500 RMB from Taobao. Reach his house, all crystal were shattered.

Complaint to them their crystal did not pack properly which cause the crystal to broke but they said is not their fault.

They blame the delivery man who did not handle the goods properly...

He using DHL some more lol and I told him DHL is famous for Delivery Half-way Lost but at least they never lost your goods very good liao.

End of the day he need to pay another 450 RMB for the Crystal. as the lighting shell cost only 50 RMB... Shipping cost is not included, he never told me how much.

Buy only no brand product and cheap product from Taobao.

Why people pay more as they want no trouble for their product they had paid.

I saw lots of products sold in Taobao as sold in qoo10.sg (gmarket) but the price is a bit more expensive.
