Not sure how you guys found KUBIQ, but I am pissed off with the additional charges with installation, delivery. Summore installer said underpaid him since 'this length etc normally charge more'. Summore each minor job will be charged by installer - even connect hood to electric point also want to charge?!!! Summore got to deal with different people for delivery, cabinet and top - the stress of having to be there to pass keys etc is just not worth it.

TORKL,
Man you are one hundred and one percent correct to
voice that out loud. I tried this KuBEE and deduced that
they have so many upcosts.
Just experience this:-

First you pay for the material.....

Second you pay for the transport.....

Third you bleed for the assembly......

The assembler will only finalize his charges
when all has been assembled NOT before.....
When buying only estimates are given....what a scam....
a big signature scam!

Then you find out that the hinges supplied are
NOT the soft-close type...kena blown again!

Then after they leave you find about four unpacked
shelves or joints that you PAID for but were not used!
Again kena shortchanged....

After recovering I employed SCi for my other wardrobes
and cabinets. What a change....everything was a one-time
payment....NO hidden charges....all hinges closed soft and
my wallet/cheque book remained closed.

No more KuBEE 4 me.

Like rapper Eminem said in his song, "I peeees on yew".

i think kubiq is cheap, that y you are need to be the coordinator.

If not mistake, it is same like IKEA way of working...either you DIY or you pay.

I personal dropby before, and the sale personal already inform those costing. THe sale man didnt debrify you on those hidden cost?

i signup during exhibition, the price is including installation

after reading this thread, i am a bit worried

You have been warned about what might happen.
Get everything down in black and white on paper.
Just remember that you are paying up front before
the barang even arrive....

If you think they are cheap, just go around and
compare prices then you know how uncheap
the deal is.

i had check the terms & condition, it is free delivery in KL & Selangor
and in the brochure also stated free installation

so i have to bring this 'evidence' when they deliver and install if they ask for money... hope no problem wil occur

In total the additional charges came to >RM600 for a small job of just over RM2k.
Yes we knew about some of the charges but some we assumed will be part of the job, e.g. installation of the hood.
And because we are dealing with different individuals for each job, each one is reluctant to provide 'supplementary' service. E.g. hood installation is charged, and then additional fee is required to connect the power to the hood.??? In the end have to ask another contractor who does the lighting and other jobs in the property to do for us....for free.
Also the 'peace-of-mind' of not having to deal with separate parties is not factored in. Imagine if new property everything else has to be planned as well and it is a real hassle having to open the door to 3 different people at different times and days (during working hours) just for the sake of the kitchen cabinet.

I have also signed up during an exhibition recently. They have just sent someone for site measurement. I noticed that they are also participating in this weekend's HomeDec. Hope they will not be flooded with too many orders.

They send someone? I thought they want us to give them the measurement instead?

only 600 extra issit? or many thousand extra? the set i am looking for is RM2.8k then if i am not mistaken the guy in Home Depot told me most likely there is additional RM800 charges for installation breaking down into installing the sink, per-feet charges and so on. Need to look back again the estimated quotation.

how much is the additional cost?

For exhibition, site measurement charges are included. Mine is using concrete top, so better for them to take exact measurement to see if the door fits.

They just finished installation in my new house. Bougth from previous MF3. To be honest, very satisfied with the work done. There was a huge mistake but it WAS my mistake. I guess the only problem is that everything is made to fit not customize in that sense so a little bit more mafan. No other hidden charges. The only think i paid extra was for an extra hinge that I wanted to add for RM50.

They came on site for measurement and delivery/installation was all included in cost.

Are you using concrete kitchen top? Do you do full height wardrobe ( meaning you have to ask the installer to box up till the top ) ? I am also worried about their "standard" sizes, which may not fit my concrete top well.

can share yr kc photos?

Why sound like buying Airasia ticket? So many + + charge.

Yes i am using my existing concrete top. Didnt do any wardrobe, Word of advice,be very careful re the measurements.

Will share one once i take them this weekend.

Yes, I'm also worried about the measurements. The installers who came to measure took just 5 minutes to measure everything, and from what I've noticed, it wasn't very accurate.

Yeah what i did was i measured it myself again to what i want and went to the showroom. Both the measurement had some variance but not much. The installer was quite nice to modify certain pieces to fit here and there as some of my walls are not levelled. So quite honestly was not a bad experience.
