Our price is somehow quite different from Klang Valley. i would say workmanship charge is normally cheaper but 'things' might be more expensive... competition is not as high as in KV i guess.... besides, i think it is important to share bad experience too as to avoid having another victim... melaka also ada orang jahat.... hahaha...

TNB was applied by my developer and they only asked for my IC copy. Not really sure what other documents they submitted. as for water, it is much easier. i applied at samb building at jalan hang tuah. since, i applied my water much later and i only showed them the tnb bill of my new house and a copy of my ic. get it done in less than 10 mins. they went to install the meter within 3 days... quite efficient...

buying leather sofa in Melaka is the hardest thing to do. Price is very expensive. Most of the half leather are priced at 4k to 5k for 123 seater (westcourt and cavenzi are not in my choice as they look too fake!). End up buying from rozel although reputation not that good here...

Huh...too bad I already did all my curtains and blinds.even after diy on the railing and buying from Nagoya, my total spending on it still exceeded rm 5.3 k...

Haha...I mean railing + blinds + curtains = rm 5.3 k. My house got a lot of windows... hired a part time maid to wash the windows before moving in, she only managed to wash the ground floor windows and doors the whole 8 hours...

just got back from mitc...nothing much to see. Price of the tv is not cheap.. A few hundred more compare to the price in KL. Btw, anyone know where i can get those oil painting in Melaka? Also, can share where do you all buy your tv?

are you looking for sofa? I went there before and their half leather sofa is all 4k and above. Not cheap. Other furniture quality is not bad but not really sure if they are cheap. I bought my bar stool there at a very good price and the sales person is very nice too.

For wet work,I engaged a Chinese uncle to do it. He is very reliable and neat in his work.but he is terribly slow and not the cheapest.I prefer someone reliable.pm me if you want his contact.

Btw, for TV, I got it from tuan hoe in gajah berang.so far, their price is the cheapest.

tat day went to 3 star peringgit, lady boss recommend me mitshubishi peti sejuk and LG washing machine with direct drive, after tat i went to tmn asian, got 1 elec shop called u audio or something like tat, the price is higher more than rm150 compare with 3 star. somemore they seems like not really know about the spec of those refrigerator.

And, they act like ah long,the way they talk is not friendly at all, when i ask for best price they can give, the salesman said, i can only discount for you if you really wan to buy, i really like wtf, then i said if i dun wan to buy then y i come here? then he straight away throw the calculator to me and said: how much you want? you sendiri tekan, i throw back the calculator to him and walk out from the shop, its really like wtf, the way they do business and the way they talk, make you feels like they are forcing you to buy,is not much different with those scratch and win, what a stupid tactic, may be they think like they can get more business with this sales tactic, but sorry, for me, they are really sux.

i will never step into tat shop anymore, 3 star is much much more better than this u audio


yo... so scary... luckily i never been to that shop before.... but the furniture shop next door (furniplus) is good.... bought my coffee table there, with marble top for rm900. the exactly same item is selling at rm1190 at kennen merdeka permai...

wow bro, so bad experience ah? i bough my crystal pendant light from new style lighting and they actually served me quite well. the price is also quite reasonable to me as i have surveyed almost all the lighting shops in melaka... but that was almost a year ago... maybe the have changed boss??

avalon lights are very expensive o.. but they do have some very special designer lights which are very difficult to find in melaka.

omg... did anyone of you engage this how metalworks? he is a very irresponsible man. no doubt his workmanship is not bad but the problem is, his after sales service is the worst i ever seen in melaka. never keep his promise and doesn't pick up call at all there is something wrong with your gate. i had a really bad experience with him.

hi, long time since i update this thread... just wanna share a new shop that I came across with.

I bought my PA system and karaoke set with Rawind Trading... Owned by a very nice young guy. Actually, I have been looking for one for a long time but most of the one in Melaka are not so good with very limited choice. Saw his shop in Muar when I went back to my parents' place few weeks back and decided to stop to look see look see. Surprisingly, he is very friendly and patiently introduces his products one by one. My family and I tested his sets one by one for almost 2 hours.. hehe... He is still nice and friendly when we left his shop without commiting to buy anything (I can't decide which one to buy and worry buying from Muar which is not in Melaka). But after thinking for a good few days, I still think his is the best and drove all they way down to Muar again to buy from him. In the same week, he send the set to my house and fixed them nicely. I like his way of tidying the cables... Nice! Two days ago, my set has a little problem and I called him that morning and by the afternoon, he is already at my house to fix it. Seldom can see such a nice guy nowadays and that make me decided to praise him a bit here. Hehe... hopefully he could get some business from my sharing. I always believe after sales service is very important.

Here's the link of his shop:

By the way, does anybody know where I could find people to polish parquet floor in Melaka? How do they charge? Per sqft?

I think you are looking for something like this. Found it at city explorer's website. Hope it helps...

Not sure bout numberg but their price might be expensive. Get a few quotations and compare. If you already got the design you want, better to get those carpenter to do for you.

My house alarm is done by Tamico at malim. Good service but not sure whether they are cheap or not. Use them because they are recommended by a friend.

Going to revive this thread as i am renovating my 2nd house now.... But this time, the reno is on a smaller scale since it is only a weekend house.
