Personally, I would not use a freight forwarder. I would use a removal/relocation company.

Two more points to note.
One, they will expect you to haggle, also shop around, to get a feel for prices, and make note of the materials used as it affects price.
Two, buy your self a cheap set of step ladders, you can get them at any big supermarket and sometimes there is a neighborhood hardware store that has them. The reason is that most trades people, even those who need ladders, don't bring them. They are always useful as most places here have 3m ceilings.
They usually do, and they will also deliver and hang them for you.
As Lemon lover says, there are lots of companies doing this, mostly small family businesses, but some are larger. You should have no problems finding people local to where you are going to live. The larger businesses have many sample sets already made and hung in the showrooms, which is better than trying to choose from a sample/pattern book.
Usually when they quote, this is for the made item. This usually comes with tiebacks. Some curtains are 3 layers, including nets, which often come as part of the set. These places also fit curtain rails, which start at a very low price.
Be aware that all the curtain places we visited only do full drop curtains as that is the width of material they use, such is the market. We got some shorter curtains made, but had to pay for the full drop. We could not get two drops as even the short windows here are 1.5m.
Mae culpa. I glibly (not pompously) used the term IP, without foreseeing overreaction from some quarters. How about if I had said, 'the results of my efforts in my own time, for which I wasn't paid'?
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
发布者Great changes.
Thanks to the GoK team, all.
Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings
发布者Ah! but what do they mean by "non-residents of Yunnan"? This sounds like Chinese nationals not resident in Yunnan. Which would allow non-locals to cross these borders.
This would not include foreigners.
As for the number, 13 re-open, when some were not closed. That is typical of the way things often get reported in some parts of the world. Like the list of 700 universities was published and China had x number in the 'TOP 700 world ranked universities'.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者Yes, I think Alex has a point. In Hangzhou (and other cities I have visited) it is organised. The vendors have a table and the tables are in clearly defined rows (some streets 4 rows, wider parts 6 rows). The pedestrians can navigate through the night markets.
The big advantage of tables is that you don't get the sprawl across the pavement, and there are clear walkthroughs. The other thing is that there are no people selling out of the trunk of the car, this alone takes up a lot of room.
Outside Sal's a few months back there was a problem, because there was no way to get onto the sidewalk to park a bike. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of who did what, it was the over abundance of street vendors that was the root cause.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者And all to be 'policed', and ID checks by chengguan.
Now there is a money making opportunity if ever there was one.
Rumors swirl as Shanghai football club eyes Kunming
发布者For the people who run clubs in S.America and Europe it is all about the love of the 'beautiful game'. Somehow I think in Asia it is all about the love of filthy lucre.
