6' marble dining table and chairs - RM 1200 (here RM 6000 not inclusive chair)
8.5' chinese tea table using old junk ship wood - RM 1400 (here RM9000 south city plaza)
6 bedframe - RM 600 - RM 1800 each, diff variety though (here RM 1000+ each)
xiaomi air purifier - RM 450 (RMB 709, here lazada sell RM 800+)
lightings of sorts, chandeliers, night lights, etc etc. I managed to save around RM 4000 in lightings easily
sofa 12'x10' "L" shape contour - RM 1600+ (here i ask minimum need RM 6000)
bed sheet, towels, kitchen appliances, kitchen utensils, bathroom accessories, towel racks, rails,
wallpaper, tv racking, side tables, chairs, etc etc too many to name.

the stuff that i didnt dare to buy are the ones that are more sensitive or doesn't make the cut. like mattress, no need buy there la, too bulky to bring back. fridge also, too sensitive to buy from there. better buy those here. oven, kitchen hob, cooker, microwave, fan , air cond, all buy here cukup nia. tapau from there really dont make sense, although i will see alot more savings, but too risky if item breaks down, too lengthy to claim warranty.

bedsheet better be careful. those bedsheet i open up 1 by 1 to measure. alot say king size and even give the king size measurement but when u really measure, is totally out 1. pilow case is standard. is ok. quilt cover or duvet cover also is ok. standard size, just be careful when buying bed sheet from china. all the size is really tipu 1. just open up 1 by 1 and measure yourself.

i wanted to go hangzhou to buy some more but kena scolding coz already 2x40' liao. maybe after CNY i will go shop some more.
my port of clearance is from xiamen to port klang. i have logistics arm there in china and here so i can settle and clearance myself. for those who dont, be prepapred to kena.

Hey hey, sorry for bringing up this old post, but I wonder how much shipping fee do you pay for these items? Did you face any problem with the kastam?

no issue. vessel is USD 380 for 40' via shenzen. haulage FOC but usual charges are around 7-800 (klang val;ley area). admin fee, delivery documentation, etc etc etc FOC but usual charges are around RM 400-600 bucks. i not sure what other charges there are, forgot liao but i'm sure they are under RM 100. the bulk is usually vessel, warehouse, haulage.

Did you get the price because you knew someone from the logistic company? regarding the usual charges that you mentioned, what/who did you base them on? so all the furnitures that you bought via 65daigou only cost you RM100 in total? Thats cheap drool.gif

yes i have some connections with forwarders. am not sure whether i was given a special discount on vessel and all. i am not aware of that. my company imports and exports stuff so perhaps i was given a special deal because i told them these are my personal belongings that are coming in.

i did not buy that much from taobao or searchjd. most of it is via shop outlets, the actual retail centers. furnitures i kinda need to know how sturdy it feels before buying so , no choice, walk along the streets. as for bedsheets and all, also the same. some stuff can buy online la, like matress protector, some LED lightings, purifier all those etc etc.

my company has a warehouse and port in xiamen only. but since there are a major portion of my stuff from shezen , i just asked them to arrange at shenzen port. vessel chaaarges from shenzen is cheaper than xiamen anyway. and most expensive is from shanghai port if i not mistaken. shanghai warehouse i know not cheap 1.

Thanks for the info! now I know shenzhen is cheapest hehe! How about hong kong? I saw a lot of items actually ship from there. Most of them are Alibaba/aliexpress. Is there any reason for that?
