My turn to contribute to this topic and help others. My kohler accessories/sinks/taps and also home lightings have arrived from taobao yday. They are heavy and gorgeous! Amcon did the shipping for me. Just 1 tracklight track came bended so I guess money (S$5) gone down the drain for that. But really relieved nothing else arrived broken. The packaging for kohler stuffs all came with authenticity certificates and warranty (maybe only for mainland), all wrapped beautifully in dustbags. my hubby joked its wrapped like branded bags....Haha

Not installed yet though, will share pics on my t blog once they r installed few weeks later!

Thumbs up for amcon!

Some of the Kohler bathroom sinks/taps/rain showers

If items links are taken down alrdy, just visit seller store to find more items. I think most imptly is that the sellers i bought from has packed my stuffs well and are honest!

This is the broken basin on the way to SG:

heart pain...

Never again buy from this seller, which did not do a good job in the packing up.

I did not buy insurance, so suay lor.

But Peeka was nice, asked me to get one more basin from another seller and shipped the new one FREE for me.

Which is going to arrive in these few days. Finger crossing....

totally agree

My first purchase from Taobao via Daigou.

I like the Daigou website - very easy to use. Tried calling their phone earlier - no one picks up. However, very prompt replies via Enquiries. & to and fro order clarifications efficient and well captured in your respective itemised/order trackings.

Do note though what you see as price in Taobao website may not be the final price you pay. I have been requested to pay extra (but Daigou will seek permission prior to order placements) due to additional domestic charges (minimal) or in my case for paintings, actual price differ from the web price - possibly due to no more promo price or size I requested - - overall I need to add btw S$20 - S$40.

My items are shipped out from China via sea already! Transit time per them is 12-16 days. Happily waiting.

My bulky items are the paintings, which I had underestimated their sizes and weights. Overall weight was approx 35kgs and they reduced to 33kgs after re-adjustment. Minimal I would say. My total purchase of $210 will have a shipping charge of $116. They do charge agent fees, for mine I think approx $20+. If I allocate all the charges, my painting is approx <S$100 per set - not sure if that's a lot of savings though.

Overall pleasant purchase experience with Daigou - yet to receive the products so will reserve delivery experience later. 2nd purchase? Small items definitely. Big items i have my reservations as I do not like to buy "blindly" without firm shipping costs displayed upfront, so I guess that's something you need to accept or get use to.
