depends what you are buying.

for instance. an Eames chair on Taobao can be purchased at RM45-50. whereas locally they are around RM90+

if you are using EZbuy prime, then shipping is RM8.8 for the entire delivery (regardless of weight/size) so buying even 1 chair, you can save a decent amount. buy more chairs and even cheaper.

My experiences from Toabao are so far so good, I bought a dressing table from Ezbuy, the quality is better than local furniture shop.

I also bought a undermount faucet for my water filter, the built is very solid too. (This Taobao seller is after I dig here and there, checkout rating, PM the seller and so-on)

I also bought series of item for my wedding deco which end up beyond my expectation and I save more than RM1k alone for the deco.

But most important part is how to identify a reliable seller in Taobao, must know how to differentiate on the rating. (U may google on taobao seller rating table)
Local got ppl sell 90++? My furniture shop nearby sell Rm300++ le!
