Is a furniture, lights and electronics group-buy really cheaper than getting them individually at sale prices?

Most thing buy in bulk will definitely be cheaper since the profit margin that sellers earned can be reduced with increase in volume.

Depending on how expensive it is, if the amount expected to pay for these items are high can consider getting from Malaysia and shipping it over. Many companies in Malaysia know that Singaporeans like to buy from there so they have delivery services to Singapore provided too.

There are also local companies like COURTS, Best Denki, Harvey Norman where you can wait for offers/promotions and use credit cards that maximise your rewards and if they are under Capitamall then can earn capitastar rewards.

With ecommerce you have websites like Shopee or Lazada or taobao with limitless options. To get more savings can use cashback sites like shopback and also use credit cards with high rewards. Remember to use voucher codes too.

Hi,

For furniture you may like to start with taobao however do note that some items received will be slightly different in terms of quality seen in photos. I still get good buys however i am cautious of the purchase. I really scrutinise taobao goods for bargain buy. If not just go for IKEA.

For electronics you may like to go mega discount shop at kallang leisure park and novena. Don't expect service there though, i have been there i don't feel the service much but the price is really good if you want to compare with courts, harvey norman, gain city, audio house.
