I tried to do same but just gave up because is too heavy and am not there to receive it so that's how i lets go of the ideal and base on people here on nairaland tiles is more cheaper and i can testified to that because last week i sent my people out to see what the price looks like before i can finally give up. I was pleased to with the price. Just to give you an ideal of how much they are sold for. The attached tile was bought for less than #800 per sqm 40cmx25cm

How una dey cope with your Tax?

Once you have been paying the Taxes for sometimes, you henceforth ignores it and never think about it.
Two things are guaranteed in America (USA), and that is: DEATH and TAXES.
No way out of it, so we live with it.

I bought everything here from both floudecor and Home depot. I bought some wood floors at Lumber Liquidator.
I shipped them by pallets. The consolidation shipping price was from $200 to $300 and this depends on the height of the pallet. The 13 by 13 tiles has more height that 20 by 20 tiles.

You got me thinking again about buy the tiles here. Am on flooranddecoroutlets.com checking designs now. Maybe!!!

Yes is cheaper but you can really trust our people when it comes to selling of product to you which is bad.

I have really been indebted to you.. with both your private email helps and tremendous help on this thread.
Can you please tell me if the "Soft Frames for Windows" recently installed is part of the cost with windows itself
or those will be seperate cost? If seperate cost, can you give me details size by size on their cost?
Thank you.

Hajji Mufutau
