kim76 18 Report post Posted February 18, 2013 yup. if old bird kim76 says correct, must be correct. i read he and some others always buy items overseas! anything can ask them... Wa lau... now become old bird... but still better than ongcs, he is guru :sport-smiley-004: For Taobao, I still pretty new... Only bought some stuff using 65diagou. Had 2 shipment with them and so far so good...I'm trying out Amcom with dragonnite and I'm getting 2 chairs and a carpet. Of course dragonnite help me almost 99%, I just select the stuff... :D Those info I share for TB are those I read in this forum or encounter in 65diagou.My next huddle will be buying using credit card. But if you wanna ask me abt Amazon, I'm pretty old bird I guess... The only thing I had not done in Amazon is sent the damaged item back. :good: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2013 Let's say if a few person combine orders and email Amcon, does Amcon provides breakdown of individual person's total volume size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kim76 18 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 Oh, I saw your side tables in Lifestorey... Nice! The lamps I am looking at are:retro desk lamplamp for my dresser or thisseems rather fragile leh.Hi, I love your retro lamp. But there is a small issue. Did u read the reviews & monthly sales?There is only 1 review and it is not too good. And the monthly sale is zero. I would not buy this lamp if I'm you.Instead, the same seller got almost the same lamp (They got green & white shade, just that the wooden base is different)This lamp got 44 reviews and score a 4.7 out of 5. Not bad. Plus they sold 9 pcs for the last 30 days and a total of 81 pcs of this lamp. Sounds pretty good.西西米兰灯饰 欧式复古台灯 民国老上海蒋介石台灯 结婚送礼 包邮I just sharing what I have learnt from Dragonnite. Let me know if you don't know how to see the reviews & monthly sales. :yamseng: Happy Shopping.Oh ya... regarding your 2nd & 3rd lamp, don't worry about fragile. The lamp shade will be enclosed in a top and bottom Styrofoam mold and the stem and base as well. But I think packing will be big considering the size of the shade.
