it's cheaper to cash and carry 4 feet tank :o, if you can carry

if u want cheaper, order from taobao. but higher risk despite with wood craft :o
Yeah, i had a crystal glass 5,2,2, from tb before, reach with a small small chip on a corner so considered heng

The price can try ship 4 times vs custom make in SG.

Thanks. I was looking into that. But Taobao app doesn’t let me ship to Singapore. Is there a way around it ? Which listing did you buy from ?

I tried buying from taobao before, u cant buy using the official taobao shipping agent and app. U need find a 3rd party forwarder and private chat the seller. The seller will usually ask u pay more for transportation to your forwarder ware house cause if your warehouse rejected it , the seller need to pay for the transportation back to their shop.

Did you find the seller from English interface in Taobao ? Apparently they are removing fish tank listing from English interface.
What if I try to buy from English interface in Taobao ? And the tank is shipped through their normal consolidation shipping ? Would be be any risk ? Like they rejecting the package?

My region is set to mainland china , which will unlock all the filters for lisitng.

Need to Wang Wang the seller...so long ago my listing sure gone by now.

I think if u not sure just suck thumb spend abit more support local bah, 4,2,2 to differences might not be alot.
Cos u need
1) Third party forwarder that allows fragile item, and accepts bulky heavy items delivery to ur door step in SG
2) request wooden crating and extra protection, "preferrably" same city seller
3) ur self be able to handle , have teh area to uncrate. and all the things there after

Also DEPENDING on what ur requirement for the tank is , like i asked u earlier.

I think around 120x50x50 Crystal clear, braceless.
If going through normal Taobao channel and can arrive then I think it’s might still be ok

or just go LFS to ask for quotes bah. or find a custom tank maker ba
Braceless likely u are doing aquascaping , then just ask the shop u going to buy things from , this size a bit not here not there
