taobao is good. But not a wonderland.

If u read a lot of reviews on RT about taobao stuff, some people's experience especially with furniture pieces is just ok only.

Lights, toilet stuff, fittings, decorative stuff etc can get from taobao.

Furniture only if u know what u want and don't mind some quality issues. Even simple thing like Eames chair, the ones found in Singapore are usually better QC even if looks the same.

 

Cabinet why u need measurement. The cabinet contractor will do their own onsite measurements.

Lights i always recommend going JB to look before buying on taobao.

 

My lights below are only about 140 ringgit.

JB most of the Philips lights are same price as taobao.

Advantage is that u can check for cosmetic defects.

 

Measurement all in from designers..so no nees call contractors measure etc recommend..save alot time since all in liao

 

The link i show juz now about same as urs about $40plus

 

Others really need time n effort to see

 

Lightings i dun get philip,i get normal led..about $5 per 5w rounded

 

T5 about $7-8 include connector

 

Btw whats RT ah?

 

end of day really depend how u find..

you can actually search with English words in taobao website as well.

 

but do note that the results in English are much more limited than those in Chinese words

 

anyway you can also get some help from forumers for the key words in Chinese.

 

my wife colleague always depend on her to help with the search using keywords as her colleague Chinese is poorer.

yah will get my friend to help me also, he always buy things online more pro than me, will to him for help..thanks~~

The trick I use and sometime works is to use English keyword to search 1st. From there select the most appropriate item of you search, and inside the item description, copy the chinese word description of the item and use it to do another search. This time will get more hits.
