nunu 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 My id gave me a $3/psf limit to the homo tile I can purchase for my living room. Me and Hub went to SBH to take a look at the wider range. We found out that almost all the tiles are above $3 after including GST. I called up id to check if we can have the near white polished homo ($3.15 w GST) but he mentioned no cos SBH will charge them ard $4 for the same tile (marked up). Is this true? Initially, he told us we cant have matt cos it also costs $4 but SBH only stated $2 plus for some designs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds very fishy when we heard the id said that. Thought they will get a cheaper rate than us buying the tiles ourselves. We thought it's only topping up the diff. We like this homo tile which costs $3.15 but id told us SBH will sell to him at $4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So once you had chosen, they will go get the tiles at lower price, and they earn the difference from there.Thus, if the display price is $3.15 psf, you ID cannot be getting at $4psf lah! Think there might be some misunderstanding somewhere lor... Edited May 28, 2007 by zirhk3355 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All tiles price at SBH is fixed whether selling to walk-in customer or ID. In fact ID should have some rebate which they are supporting them for long term. To me, I won't care if there is any rebate to my contractor as I believe this is what they should deserve as long as I get what I want. Even if I buy direct from SBH, I might not enjoy any rebate or discount, so might as well let my contractor earn some petrol money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
