Taobao Help Needed

[kim76 18]

OMG! that is just ridiculously cheap..... the concern i guess is how to assemble when it comes....

I don't think u need to assemble. The body is in one piece. Probably the cushion are separated.

The shipping though may be the killer... But I'm not too sure...

Found a nice painting.. And it's drawn after order been placed! But at almost $300, I need to wait a while.

Been doing quite a bit of shopping for the past few weeks... :sport-smiley-004:

[dragonnite 2]

what stopped you from buying the taps?

cos of the hansgrohe 30th anniversary sale last year and the peace of mind in buying it here if there are any issues ...

William Vanscoy 'You Knew Me When' Canvas Art

This piece is quite different from what I had in my place now. But I like it leh... :dribble:

Cannot custom size, it is 24 inches high x 36 inches wide

Kim, check this out!! http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.17-8555265117.12.aOoWuG&id=20407680704&

I prefer the wooden rack... :dribble:

For the air-tight container, I recommend the OXO container that is very hot selling at my blog.

I used to have similar container that u posted but the rubber is not really tight...

I may not be correct, so don't quote me.

I believe only the basic model of Grohe & Hansgrohe are made in China. The better one are still made in Germany.

So it will defeat the purpose of buying from Taobao unless u want the basic one. But if u want the basic one, why not save even more and get the no-brand one? I did a basic search on Hansgrohe in Taobao. I see only a little bit of tap and showers stuff. If u search for better model, it will put the location is in Germany and the cost is more ex than getting here!!

But if u want to get the high end model, U can get locally when there is sales. (But limited models) or online.

Hi Vanessa & Kim76,

Can check up Frankman's Tblog for Alibaba or Taobao stuff. He ordered a whole container of TB items from a local freight forwarder which happen to have a logistic office in Guangzhou. He personally checked all forwarders to get the best quote to bring in from China includes the custom clearance. For details, can drop a note at his Tblog.

Hope the informations will give u a little help.

Have a Good Day~
