Songz 132 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 U are right! Have already been looking at Taobao to see what are the things that we can buy. But I am still indecisive about which agent to choose from and how to calculate shipment costs....

Yuooli9 5 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 It's best to get the HDB contractor to remove it as it was their work. This will minimise any unforeseen arguments in the future. Although I don't think it's a very big deal, should be removed in no time.Thanks for your suggestion! I think it is better to remove it too. will inform HDB when they call for us to collect the key. If not, I will see if I can just scrap it off myself. save the trouble.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuooli9 5 Report post Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Finally bought my first item from Taobao! spent a whole 8 hours surfing taobao website to select my lights, chatting with the sellers, exploring how to buy and how to make payment... I am so glad that it is done and I really felt a sense of satisfaction after it has been done. These are what I have boughtThe above purchases are bought by myself, with Amcon as my forwarding agent.I also bought a basin cabinet with a greece feel through 65daigou because the seller can only do 物流, ie. they only deliver item to a specific point. I am not sure if 65daigou is able to purchase for me but I just try my luck. Edited September 14, 2014 by Yuooli9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peeka charges by the volume whereas 65Daigou charges by weight... hence i think Peeka is a better choice than 65Daigou in this sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing. 65Daigou has just returned me the payment as the seller did not response. Think I will try getting it through Peeka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troublemaker 31 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 I see. Thanks for sharing. 65Daigou has just returned me the payment as the seller did not response. Think I will try getting it through Peeka. I normally uses Peeka because my shipment contains lightings etc. Peeka will help its customers to check their items first to make sure the items are in good condition before repacking them to save on volume. So far, I am pretty pleased with Peeka's service! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
