Budget Taobao 3 & 4!

We got our Taobao loot 3 and 4 like one month apart and due to the busy renovation and wedding planning schedule, we were unable to update it. Therefore, we are here to share our 3rd & 4th Taobao loots all at a go!! Taobao 3 was purchase using PEEKA but for the 4th round we use another new service provider and agent; OOPS  and this agent is the cheapest we have gone with so far at about 100 per Cubic Meter volumetric for the SEA delivery. And yes they also deliver to your door step!

So here are the list of items we got in the 3rd batch of Taobao!!
1) Toilet / Bomb Shelter / Service Yard Ceiling Light  x 4
2) Common Room Ceiling Light  x 2
3) Kitchen Ceiling Light  x 1
4) LED Strip x 6m
5) LED Strip Transformer x 4
6) Master Toilet Sink x 1
7) Bladeless Wall Fan x 1
8) Master Bedroom TV Shelves x 2set
9) Toilet Mirror Cabinet x 2
10) ASUS Laptop keypad Protector x 1

The whole of shipment 3 cost $694.84 in total including shipment. Best buy i feel was the LED strip which cost only SGD$2 per meter when in Singapore it cost easily $19.90 per meter.

So here are some pictures to share!

For Taobao loot 4, we used OPPS and here are the list of items we got! 
1) Dining Table x 1  
2) Bar Stool x 2 (DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN!) 
4) Tea Table x 1 set
5) Curtains x 2 set  
6) Bag x 1 

The Bar stool was the first bad experience we had with a Taobao seller, he basically sent us a "old" bar stool; colour is dirty and yellow instead of white. And when we contact got a refund / exchange he basically just push responsibility and act blur. Even when we offer to buy a new one from him he continue to act. So yup will never buy from him again! I guess this are some of the risk we have to take on Taobao, but not all sellers are like that, we met really nice one as well! So yup, give and take and always be ready to stomach some risk! 

This whole shipment with OOPS cost us $1109.07 in total! Curtains are made to measure and yup dining table and chair looks GREAT! So photos to share!!
