Hello everyone!

I am moving to SL next year, I already have arranged for an apartment but I just found out that it comes without the appliances. Therefore I will need to buy it. I
Could anyone let me know what is the approximative cost for the following appliances:
- AC
- small stove
-small fridge
-washer.
Are there any online stores that I could check? Or is it true that you have to buy it from the SL duty free ?

Thank you.

And to answer your other question, you dont HAVE to buy in the duty free. You COULD buy these at the duty free or in reputed stores in Colombo. Buying in the duty free may be cheaper, but if customs authorities charge you the customs duty then you will end up paying a similar amount as if you purchased in the stores in Colombo.
