23 Transit Road, Singapore 778892
1st thing that I saw in this empty shop..
My good friend, Jay, recommended me some good metal shelving from Howell United
They are really good & service was excellent!!
Started shifting some goods over from the main shop. No matter how much i shift, the main shop is still so cramp.. haiz..
As this is my 1st time setting up a shop by myself, I tried my luck to see if i could actually get supports from my existing suppliers. So I made a few phone calls & in less than 1 month, i've got so many beautiful shelvings & Banners from:
- Victorinox
- Gerber
- Niteize
- Nitecore
- Dexshell
- Zippo
- Helinox
- Leatherman
- Benchmade
- Gregory
- Black Diamond
During the Shifting & Cleaning up, See what i've found!!
a Vintage Signboard that was handmade by my brother more than 20 years ago!!!
Still in very good conditions!
What's Next?!? Furniture!!
So I went down to Ikea alone, it was almost 6pm i rmb very clearly..
Walk up to the showroom, & end out a text to my poly friends group chat on Watsapp..
Guess What?!?
Kimkiat replied & brought Bernard along, & we had Dinner together @ Ikea!! Amazing thing #1 just happened!!
After dinner, we went round & round the entire Ikea Tampines, discussing what is good & nice. got everything i need there except for 2 metal cabinets with key locks. Ikea just don't sell any of these.
Another amazing thing #2 just strike again.. Bernard told me i can actually get these metal shelvings from this furniture shop behind Safra Tampines!! He bought 1 from them to use during his stay in Uni.
That's probably my luckiest day in 2013!! lol..
2 days later, all the furniture got fixed up!!
On that very morning, Special Thanks to Don & Henry from Tajima, rushed down just to help me with the shifting of my Dino Family (4 Head Tajima). This 2 super strong guys can lift up the 360KG machine!! That's really CRAZY!!! I don't how they do it, but they just did it!!
After opening up all the thread cartons, I really over stock my embroidery threads. The above picture is only showing 20-30% of my thread cones, total at least got 1,000 cones, can open another business selling threads already!
Knowing my brother is very good @ sourcing Renovation Contractors, cos he just completed his house reno not too long back.. found this company called Glass Point from his list!! very reasonable pricing, & extremely fine job!! Lucky Evon had given me lotsa good advice on why i should pay a bit more to use better quality glass. Blur me actually slammed the glass door into the half opened metal shuttle on the 2nd day!! The glass is so tough that not even a little chip off.
