Several parcels on the way by ship, will update accordingly when goods arrived. Still hunting for my elusive dining table, been to HomeDec, Perfect Living and various other furniture shops/malls, nothing came near to what I want. Need natural wood color in lighter shade for my table top but most out there had darker tone. Walked around Viva mall today, saw some that are closed to my target but color of wood just ain't right, most design also can be seen on Taobao/Tmall and each easily cost 2.5K to 4k. Discussed with wife if we should get it from TB despite the risk involved, guess we are close to making the order. This is what we are targetting, gonna custom measurement from supplier. Price of table - RM1400.00 Custom measurement - Length 210cm x Width 85cm x Height 75cm - Wood thickness 5cm Metric weight is around - 100kg, shipping will cost around RM500.00 (Estimation) Agent Fee - Should be around RM100.00 Total RM2000.00 Will conclude this table end of next month. can share the link for the dining table? i'm looking for dining table, local shops are very expensive

Anyway, I'm using consolidate shipping for all 3 items(from different seller) On the water basin, they charge 2++rmb while the saw guide another 1++rmb and last item is light, so it is not charged. As they charge the "weight" by volume size, the basin weights only 17KG which still within the limit. can share the link to the saw guide? i'm also looking for diy stuff

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! can share the link for the undermount faucet for water filter?

I took the risk & i bought the mirror at price range that i can accept the fate if it really broken. [attachmentid=9238574][attachmentid=9238579] nice, which sea freight did you use? lazada sea freight or agent? are the led mirrors using batteries or need electrical wiring?

I only order bulky item via Prime (Chairs/Sofa). and now after changing to JD.com the price gotten even more expensive than before until it doesn't worth to make it Prime. I rather explore different agent and buy directly from Taobao. i looking forward to switch to Wiwaa since their shipping fees (airshipping is Rm7.50/kg vs RM9/13 on Ezbuy/Buymall; seashipment is RM2.50/kg vs RM6/kg Ezbuy) is cheaper and agent fees also lower compared with Ezbuy/Buymall (6% vs 8%) Reference: Wiwaa Shipping Fee Buymall Shipping Fee Ezbuy Shipping Fee bro, wiwaa its RM7.50/500gm not /kg , add 6% service fees + 5% on freight cost Service fees = (product price) * 6% + (international freight) *5%
