Has anybody shipped furniture from Europe to Singapore?

Hi, I just completed an order with a luxury furniture retailer in Europe (France) and am eagerly awaiting the delivery. I wonder if anyone has done this too?

In my case, I have been searching for years to find the perfect dining chairs to replace my current onesand when I saw these I knew I they were the ones so I am trying the experience. Chairs are made to order so I will be delivered in May.

After all costs are included (EU export/ Singapore import procedures, GST, sea-freight, uncrating and delivery to my door), I am "only" paying 16% more than a European client would. This chair is not sold in Singapore so I don't mind the cost of importing.

I have also seen that I could purchase other luxury furniture pieces at a cheaper price (all transport and customs procedures included!) than if I purchased it directly in Singapore (in these cases, there are resellers here that offer them but at higher prices)...so looking to explore this avenue after this first trial order.

I saw someone in this forum (post about lighting shop) was very disappointed with their experience in purchasing from a foreign site. I have added a complete insurance to my purchase so as to be refunded if the chairs are damaged during the transport.

If anyone would care to share their experience in importing furniture to their homes, it would be much appreciated, thank you.
