Maybe may suit the MBR washroom better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Shipping By AMCONI did a little homework, ask around a little, made some calls and decided to use Amcon.Why I choose them? I called them a couple of times, I even spoke to the lady boss – May.Communication is there but pretty much on the vague side though. Only thru more conversations I managed to get a better grasp of the complete process.The process is actually pretty straight forward, especially if you purchase yourself and send to Amcon’s warehouse in China.Though Amcon provide purchase on behalf option but I believe the charges is RMB50 per order (regardless of quantity) which I totally skipped.Amcon has 4 warehouses in China. Namely – Guangzhou, Dongguan, shanghai and Zhejiang Yiwu.So choose one point as your delivery point. I used Guangzhou because it seems most items on Tmall or Taobao are from the Guangdong region.Next, when you order your items, you have to “mark” your items. By marking means filling in a standard for all delivery address such as following:广州市越秀区北站南路69号义庆商储仓135 / 112库联系人：倪先生 / 何小姐电话/传真：020 - 3637 7718手机：137 1160 1896BLOCK 135/112,NO.69 BEI ZHAN NAN RD,YUEXIU,CHINA 转Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 Blk xxx #xx-xx Singapore xxxxxx (your name) (mobile number)转 = transferThis is for Amcon to identify things you have ordered and to consolidate. One shortcoming is that Amcon will not follow up if they received the items .You have to tracked it yourself from Tmall or Taobao (so far both will indicate item been delivered and signed for), neither nor will Amcon check the items for defects. So practice caution when purchasing fragile items.Do note that though Peeka offer to check items but limited to certain packaging only. Anything that is wooded crated, they will not check as well. In my opinion, the risk is still worth taking, especially if you have getting savings from the items purchased after comparing with getting locally.Pros & ConsPros: Reasonable shipping rates, office in Singapore, able to consolidate items, good for bulky items.Cons: No checking of items, a bit slow cos only sea freight, no informing when received items.ChargesLCL ChargesFrom Guangzhou Warehouse to your WarehouseA) 1 CBM 550RMB/CBMB) Documentation Fee SGD35/setC) 7% GSTNote: I am only still consolidating now, so unable to comment on delivery and items received condition.

OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Hahaha ~I was about to ask if the waterjet is from Mr KStohSo in the end its the Town Council who came and clean it ? Yup. TC did the job, then neighbors below complained.Think TC did inform thru pamphlets but neighbor said "What if I never open letterbox?" Well, cant please all. Paste on lift lobby, say did not see, mail letterbox say didnt open. Anyway, I did my part, before washing I saw a downstairs unit with clothing hanging outside and I went down to inform them to keep it.
