How much did you pay for your property

[J4hurghada]

also when I bought mine I did go for furniture package, and I must admit the quality of hand made furniture is alot better than ikea, the bed's are solid wood, tables and chairs wardrobes, thick wood not mdf sh**.

Electrical items very old style but like I said in previous what the can not make in egypt costs alot more than here in the UK.

I have been searching for a big screen TV and noone can beat the prices of the UK please if anyone can give me good price then do.

anything is possible

parcelforce ups ,,companies like that...

when you bought your packages .. did you pay the whole amount upfront??

when do the warranties /gurantees start in that case??

I have looked at shipping but the price for dutie at airport is more than the price of the TV set.

Yes I have thought of taking in suitcase but a 42" widescreen would cause suspision.

I have priced up hurghada TV's but they are around £1000+

Yes I think on here insead of people being agents they should start up an electrical shop in hurghada with decent prices they would make there millions.

Life would be so easy if Egypt had an Ikea but it doesn't .Egypt has a strong ethic that if it is not made in Egypt it will be highly taxed (around 50%for furniure & electricals).There are some very good carpenters but they are cottoning on to the fact that there is a profit to be made from property buyers. We were sadly scammed by a carpenter who did a runner with our deposit and we got nothing .We then, for safety's sake ,decided to go with getting furniture from the developer for the larger pieces anyway.

Shipping from home is also fraught with danger of damage,theft ,high taxes and bribery and is not recommended. With hindsight we could have waited and then bought individual ready made pieces when the apartment was ready,but then we would have lost the cohesive look that we achieved.

Its just not as easy as in Europe

the reason is cos alot of the furniture is from and built in egypt i checked this out a year ago when the company first set up.i was scepticle myself but i am totally impartial as i have purchased the package and i found it to be a little bit dearer if you bought it all yourself but a lot less hassle and risk.
