Hi everyone, While waiting for my wife to wake up and go collect our kitchen sink and all other toilet accessories, I thought that I should share a little on how I saved on my toilet accessories. This is no joke, my toilet accessories should have easily cost over $2k but i'm really glad that after studying and understanding how the industry work, I managed to cut all the unnecessary middle man and got them for cheap!I have surveyed all shops in SG, from balestier stretch to jalan besar, to even those shops that my ID recommend, say got special discount... basically, it's all a major scam. I understand that in SG, rental is expensive, manpower is expensive, taxes are heavy. I also understand that businesses must earn to survive. But take a look at the prices of the things i bought:Kitchen sink 45cm x 45cm x 20cm (this is thick metal, not those that will warp and change shape after u pour boiling water)The best price is saw after walking balestier = SGD$599. Price that I bought it for = $210.Kitchen faucet/tap (stainless steel, with mixer and pull out)Best price in SG saw at jalan besar = $190. I paid $70.Basin and tap for wife's vainity counter (basin is 50cm x 36cm, tap is 31cm high stainless steel)We only saw the price of the basin, and we were so disgusted we don't even looked for the tap. SG price $380My price for basin+tap+pop up drain pipe (stainless steel also!) = $150Not to mention heaters, mirror cabinet, bidet sprays, stainless steel glass shelving for toilets, kitchen counter rails. I spent less than $700 when I could have easily exceeded $2k. I bought all my stuff from different retailers and some from online. The items are all made overseas, but sometimes u see different brands on them even though they look the same. This is called OEM. the factory produces the design, the retailer buys them in bulk and and stamps their "italian branding" on it. If you go to balestier, u see many shops advertising made in italy/germany and all the crap. All rubbish. Do they think we were born yesterday? It's like putting a BMW logo on a proton and advertised it as made in germany. I'll gladly share all my contacts, please PM me if you guys need them.
