Tell them to shove thier hardware where it fits! How awful that tis happened to you. In my 3 years in Sg never saw that sort of thing.Claire F wrote:On advice from this forum I went in search of Homely Hardware on Changi Road today. Unfortunately I couldn't find it and found Thye Seng Hardware Enterprises Pte Ltd instead - DO NOT GO THERE. They were so rude, they told me to leave my baby outside and basically refused to serve me. I left in tears.
Luckily I went across the road to Hong Gee Hardware and the service was your usual friendly Singapore service.
Singapore doesn't seem to have the big mega style hardware stores like overseas but there are various hardware stores on Changi Road that cover plumbing, painting, general hardware and construction. The closest MRT is Kembangan and the best hardware shops seem to be on the side of the road closest to the MRT.
This is an issue for sure in Sg. Yeah back in Oz we got bigger than Ben Hur 'Bunnings' stores and othe countries too have almost as goodjpatokal wrote:Where in Singapore can I find a half-decent hardware store? Even a "Homefix DIY" type of place somewhere around Orchard would be a good start (their homepage hasn't been updated for 6 years and is useless...), but one of those big box Ace's Hardware types would be even better.

I suppose it's like women and handbags? Need one for every different occasion and can never have enough.![]()
Sorry I realise that it is a rather fossilised joke now, but I am totally PMSL

Hi Blimeylime,blimeylime wrote:Does anyone know if any of the mentioned hardware stores stock large 4x8' sheets of 1/4 inch-plywood? I've basically scoured most of the art stores and hardware-lite stores around me, but I can't find any...the employees just seem at a loss, as if no one on this island buys wood for projects. I need them to make flats for my set, along with 1"x3" thick beams...if anyone has any suggestions where I might find them, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
