Acquit 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 果然是师父 :bow: Thanks for the info. But I did see some of the big furniture packing that is protected by wooden planks.For example those boxes by Nexer, those are natural wood right?I provide the link to Nexer's purchases from TBhttp://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51161&view=findpost&p=779542only shipper know how to see..hahai also dont know but i always get reminded ask sellers dont use natural wood,just use treated or plywood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kim76 18 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 only shipper know how to see..hahai also dont know but i always get reminded ask sellers dont use natural wood,just use treated or plywoodHaaa.. I guess the law state so but they are not really enforcing it.And I believe those protection on the boxes are just natural wood. Using plywood or treated will just jack up the cost.Anyway, I hope mine will not get stop by the custom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
originalbread 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 agree with kim...the green one is not bad, only 1 bad review out of the lot, quite a few of the reviews look genuine to me...but i would do a search for more sellers if i were you...just did a quick search (search term:欧式复古台灯 书房) and this seller looks to have better sales track record - poke around and see if they carry the colour/style you want...【子蘭】欧式复古典 银行台灯 实木书房民国老上海办公台灯 包邮Thanks Dragonnite & Kim. The green one sold in many shops , I like also but don't match my room. Will search further and pay attention to the ratings and review. Thanks for the pointers.

beejeebee 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 Hi everyone, thanks for sharing so much about shopping and the nice/good stuff from taobao! Much appreciated! I'm interested to try taobao too and have contacted May from Amcon Express for her rates etc.That part I am more or less clear.The problem now is I do not know how to place the order. May said her clients have a 支付宝 account that allows them to buy directly from taobao. Only thing is you need a china account to transfer money into the 支付宝 account. May said some of her clients get her to do that - they will transfer money to her and she will put into their 支付宝 accounts for them. This sounds a little unsafe for me, I will probably wanna avoid this until I have tried and tested her services She also mentioned she can help to buy the things but she charges a certain fee PER LINK. If I'm not wrong, it's 30-50RMB per link.It seems quite high for me especially if I intend to buy many small items together with big items. So I would like to ask if anyone has bought directly from taobao before using credit card? If yes, are there any extra charges?From what I know, there's a DBS/POSB promo with taobao but I don't really know how it works.I opened a taobao account and when I tried to check out I reached this page, and this is what I see when I select the "信用卡" (credit card) tab.Then when I click on “选择其他” (select others), this is what I saw.There's no Singapore bank that I can select. Did I do anything wrong in the process? Appreciate all advices and help given! :bow: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
