That’s awesome Yony, did you end up getting the Starline 80 series. Also, how big was your air gap? Finally, it would be wonderful to see a few photos. Thanks Re: My experience buying windows in China 30Aug 31, 2019 4:44 pm Mine were 5mm with 12 air. I ordered mine back in November last year. I got stuck in council for 9 months just got to put them up now. I will take some photos on Monday and post them. Not sure what the Starline series is. I'm guessing mines the older version. Here's one photo from a far and my corner window.

Once done people can come and view mine down on Mornington Peninsula. Been happy with my dealings so far and have already seen the quality of the product on a big commercial project in the city . Re: My experience buying windows in China 37Sep 15, 2019 3:34 pm Hi Kate We are based in Perth and are OB. We have been in contact direct with YY Constructions as recommended by AWA. I agree with the comments that they are very helpful and are constantly in contact with me. We wanted a silicone double glazed window in two areas and they are able to manufacture for us. Currently delivery times to Perth are 38 days. Can you please advise your experience with the shipping from port to construction site? I have read about the GST payment and "certificate of origin" - thanks for that. Re: My experience buying windows in China 38Sep 15, 2019 4:57 pm not sure about the delivery times as they are still under construction, but Tony can probably advise better. Btw, I also ordered 10.4m of fixed Skylights for the Outdoor Alfresco area from a company called Shanghai Minye. 4 panels which are 2.6m wide x 1.2m long. Again, these are 5mm + Laminate + 5mm LowE + 12 Air Gap with Argon + 5mm Toughened. Should be ready to ship out to Superhouse in about 15 days for delivery in the same Superhouse shipping container .

I have read about the GST payment and "certificate of origin" - thanks for that. In Sydney they had a logistics company organised. Once they ship the container superhouse will send you all the customs paperwork. The logistics company will request this info to get it out of customs. You will need to pay the import duties and taxes to them. They will also charge you an unloading fee of I think it was $2500. They will deduct 500$ every hour the container sits there. If you unload it within the first hour of it arriving you get all your money back.

I apologise for any confusion, but your understanding is correct. We approached our situation differently based on advice from… 11 54498 Hey Mate, I faced the same issue that you are facing. My builder left my house incomplete after going through liquidation. In… 1 21995 So it seems like they just take on a lot of projects to get the cashflow for their own builds.
