Looks good. Do note during reno period, you may noticed some rust spots, these are mainly from iron dust from all the drilling etc. Don't get too alarm, it happens to me.

How much u paid for it btw?
*
Noted, thanks for the advise.

I grabbed the package D, and total cost with shipping to Malaysia is RM 933.31.
I know the shipping fee is kind of expensive, but no choice.

Panasonic motion sensor ceiling mount, for my main entrance.
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=37501977782

Price - RM 74.48
Shipping fee to Malaysia - Combined payment with several other items thus no breakdown of individual price (RM 10.00 estimation)
Agent's fee - Combined payment with several other items thus no breakdown of individual price (RM 5.00)
Delivery fee to door step - RM 8.00

Total : RM 97.48 +/- estimated

Review: Hmm....just a normal sensor operated ceiling light, quality is fine but I'm not sure if it will work as advertised. Can only comment around March after installation.

Bought this instant and direct pipe-in water dispenser from taobao. Use for 1.5 years now. Still working. Only minor issue on LED display.

Maybe the heat that caused the LED display to have minor issue?

Still cheaper than buying locally isn't it. Here I think will cost you ard 1.2 - 1.5k.

Yes should be around that price. Few of the sinks, without faucet that I found online are:
[url=http://www.rubine.com.my/prodetails.php?pro_model=FOX 620]Rubine FOX 620[/url], around RM 1.1k
Ikea NORRSJĂ–N, Inset sink, 2 bowls, stainless steel, around RM 1.6k
Haustern HT-4MM-120-H, around RM 1.7k

Here are the accessories that are in the kitchen sink package that I bought.

Thing that surprised me is the sink faucet, it feels quite heavy on my hand, I do not weight it but at least it feels at least 2kg on my hand.

How much is ur shipping fees ?
*
Here is my EZbuy "Ship For Me" sea shipment shipping fee breakdown for the kitchen sink package I bought:

Total Weight: 30.49kg
Chargeable Weight: 31.08kg
GST: RM47.78
Shipping Fee: RM176.4
Delivery Fee: RM8
Total Amount: RM232.18

The kitchen sink seller shipped out two parcels, and here is how the EZbuy calculate the weight for each of the parcel:

Parcel 1: Kitchen sink accessories
Weight/Volume Weight: 4.83 KG/5.92 KG

Parcel 2: Kitchen sink itself
Weight/Volume Weight: 12.7 KG/24.57 KG

Too bad that this Taobao item does not have "Prime" tag in EZbuy.

thanks... it stated 0-15kg is rm8 for west msia...
is it rm8 for weight up to 15kg parcels or charged rm8 per kg for the 1st 15kgs?
hmm.gif
*
I think there is no per kg is this case, which means the rate is RM 8 flat if the parcel is weight within 15 KG.

If i understand correctly, the prime membership can only buy items listed in their website with shipping rm8.80, right? I browsed the list before, and the selection is not much.
*
Aside from the existing list, Ezbuy has "Prime Wist List", that allows you to add non-prime item to Prime list and enjoy RM 8.80 shipping fee, subject to approval, and must be on Prime annual membership.

noob here..

for east malaysia delivery...does it mean RM8.80 flat rate only ?
or is there any other additional cost such as packaging cost etc ?

thanks
*
Yes, RM 8.80 flat rate for international fee, however you will have to add in Home delivery fee too for east Malaysia, since I don't think there is a self collection point in east Malaysia yet.

Repacking cost I am not too sure, but I don't think so.

For PRIME, they will repack themselves in order for the cost saving. Otherwise they can't offer us RM8.80/shipping.

So far from my ordering, most of them repack. Unless it is sensitive or fragile item. They won't repack.
*
Do you know if they charge for the "repack" fee? So far I buy from them does not have any repack involved, so I do not know if there is such fee.

besides they just revised the new shipping fee recently. affected for those more than 160kg

If you said local means Malaysia, they used different couriers.
So far I have encountered the following:

1) Their own transportation
2) Poslaju
3) Ninja Van
4) Skynet

cool.....

i myself thinking to get this assembled unit

https://ezbuy.my/product/20000007140308.htm...om=ShoppingCart

hope there is no damage for these bulky item

Besides, for prime order, what is the purpose to acknowledge purchased items?
I just noticed that i have to acknowledge it with some remark in order for status to become Completed.
*
This is my first prime order, so I don't know if prime order is able to acknowledge purchased item.
But I do used their "Ship For Me" service quite often, out of my 11 "Ship For Me" order, I was able to acknowledge 6 of them. The other 5 orders left half way hanging, even I already received my items long time ago. Maybe the person did not mark the those order as delivered on their side, so I am not able to acknowledge on my side.

Quick review on the E27 pendant light and also GE light bulbs bought from Taobao.
Been using for 4 months, all things works well and within my expectation.
The brightness of the light is just right, before this I am a bit worried about the brightness due to low lumen bulb.
