Just wonder, anyone do it?

Worth to take thw risk?

You can't feel it if buy online.

Need to see the seller...
If reputable one should be okay...

U go see first at showroom then order it online

No worth. Go showroom and look that's better

Check the quality of materials you desire and meaaure the length/height yourself

Delivery included

U done it before?

Nope.
But heard from others..

Always go for reputable sellers.. those famous shop also have website that have products display & free delivery too (around KV only)

Unfortunately, I m not fr. KV.

Ahh too bad then..
Old school style.. visit shop to buy 😑

i have tried a few times buy online.... not bad + can use coupon + delivery provided. i bought sofa bed and bar stool and low pile carpet

Yes there are many trusted online suppliers are available with free shipping and you also use Halloween promo codes. Like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, reecoupons they are the trusted suppliers. 1 week ago I purchased a new bed from Walmart they give me a 1-year warranty with free shipping. You must try

You can try Doyoung malaysia. It has a small showroom and plenty of selection with affordable pricing online.

Planning to buy most of my furniture from taobao, dining table, dining chairs, console, coffee table, sofa, cabinets, kitchen sink, toilet accessories....

local furnitures are just too old fashion and cant keep up with time. Or im too poor to buy from branded shop. And to be honest, when you surf taobao long enough, you start to spot local furniture shops selling furniture from taobao.

Hello, may I know what courier service do you use to ship your taobao furniture? Aren't they too big and expensive to ship to Malaysia? And it's true, I saw furniture store like Mumu living actually selling furnitures from 林氏家具 on Taobao...

There's quite a lot of 代运 online, im lucky my neighbour does it, so I just route it via him.

Aren't they too big and expensive to ship to Malaysia? -> too big yes, but too expensive don't think so, way cheaper than the over priced local shop that source from the same place. Just that I'm taking a lot more risk and i have to deal with shit along the way.

You probably need an agent who's familiar with sea shipping and provides services for sea shipping for buying large furniture. They'll send the items via ship, takes around 1 to 2 months to arrive. Cheaper than air shipment for sure, but I can personally warn you that 1) it'll take time, because ships only jalan when certain quota met and slow to arrive here, and 2) if your luck bad, it can be inconsistent, like stuff gets "lost" or undelivered to you.

Experience: friend got ship in large prop for stage production, item was 200kg+ because it's all heavy duty metal for stability. Took 1 month to arrive.

I see, thank you so much for the help! Will look into it and see if it's worth to save and ship from overseas!
