Can you share why for the 1st and 2nd Taobao shipment you use peeka whereas 3rd and 4th shipment you use Amcon? Based on what criteria/reasons to save on shipping cost? Tks in advance!Hi, my new place is at Telok Blangah Dr. Area approx 125sqm including the recess area and balcony. I even had enuough space to add an additional room for my maid, extend the mbr area and common bathroom area...all these without compromising the spaciousness of the area.Used peeka initally as I wasn't really sure on how to buy from Taobao directly and shipped to Amcon. But after diligently searching thru this forum, I found someone posted a step by step process...and when the first shippment arives, i reaslised that its so easy and the charges are cheaper than Peeka. Also by using Amcon, you can pay for items directly using credit card, which can earn points too For peeka, its all bank transfer, aka cash transaction.Oh, just got notice from Amcon (May) that my 2th Amcon shippment will be delivered to me today or tomorrow.....can't wait to see my loot.....

jeeppoo 6 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Arranged for moving services...engaged The Helping Hand...seems quite recommended in the forum...quote is $320 per lorry and charge based on depends on how many trips.....asked if they need to assess what i need to move, the person in charge, Mr. Richard said no need, will depend on the number of trip on that day and charge accordingly. Hmmm....also their dismantle and assembly services varies....he said depend on whether is it a difficult task and if takes longer than 10mins...then need to charge $20-$$30...Not too sure if i made the right choice with engaging the helping hand...seems like a lot of possibilities...also no need to reconfirm appt...hope they remember to turn up.......

binzz 10 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Seems to be on the high side, my neighbour just moved yesterday, using S***** movers is $180. But i got 1 quote from another mover also Str**** is near to $300. I am also getting 4 movers to my place to access and provide quotation, but didn't ask from The Helping Hand. Mind to share how much stuff you are shifting? Maybe thats why the price seems to be at the high side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind to share how much stuff you are shifting? Maybe thats why the price seems to be at the high side.They quoted me without asking me what i want to shift. Only said 1 lorry is $320, if more than 1 lorry, depends on trips and charge accordingly.Acutally I have quite a no of things to move....1) 2 single bed + mattresses2) Fridge & wine chiller & massage chair3) 3 flat screen tvs4) 1 bedside table5) 3 standing fans6) boxes and ali baba bags many many (but these i can move some myself)...I ever used Movers_101 before few yrs back...much lesser stuff than above..charge me $250..but they broke my standing fan and i deducted $50 from the amt....Thought of supporting Helping Hand, since they are running it for a good cause. Dun mind if its slightly more expensive, but then their customer service can improve a little lor....abit unsecure with the possibilities.... keep my finger crossed.
