Hi, do u need to pay import tax once arrived ? QUOTE(mrgoodgood @ Dec 19 2013, 08:40 AM) If you guys don't mind the hassle and willing to take some risk, you can actually order sinks from China (taobao/tmall). I just got the following sink: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a220m...&id=18077112454A 800mm SUS304 1.2mm undermount sink for ¥ 759.00 which converts to about RM420. Shipping is ~RM200. I have not installed the sink, but from visual inspection the quality is very good, and definitely cannot get similar stuff here at the same price point. Food for thought. |

QUOTE(mrgoodgood @ Dec 19 2013, 04:57 PM) There are plenty of Taobao agents online. An example is 65daigou.com.my. However, I found an agent from Guangzhou, China to do the purchase and forwarding for me. The reason is because I can chat with him through Skype to communicate my requirements . However, I won't recommend him/her because his service is average only. If you are looking for international branded sink, then you should probably look somewhere else. For other locally 'branded' sinks, most are OEM from China even though they say they are from Germany or put a Germany flag in their logo. In these cases, I think the actual branded sinks in China (check the top companies and bestsellers) are probably better than these sinks. yes i meant those where the brands OEM at China .. but they wld have gone under their own brand names at the site rite ? Thanks for your tips and advice - will definitely have a good long browse as they have so much to offer here  |
