I am planning to get 200 pieces of soaps as gifts from taobao, so the total weight is around 7kg++. For this kind of weight, official global shipping will be cheaper or should I go for service such as prouter? Thanks

Ok, got it, so just estimation, as prouter we can only estimate right? As the exact figure will only be found out once it reached the warehouse, while tgds we can get the quotation right away? Thanks

I see that you use yeslogistic? Have you tried ezbuy? Ive been using their service but if yeslogistic is better, i wouldnt hesitate to try.

Everything is quite clearly stated in ezbuy and you can consolidate items according to type as they will ship the items from taobao to their warehouse in China first before posting out to malaysia. I get my items usually around 1-2 week business days and i like that you can track and there is ETA (which is true or earlier most of the time). Never tried the prime membership yet though.

Saw that in yeslogistic has no service charge but ezbuy has 8% service charge.

Here is an example of my purchase, recently:>

Product from Taobao to warehouse: RM82.35 (include with postage payment)

From warehouse to MY: RM38.99 (service charge, postage for 1.17kg)

how is it compared to your purchase with yeslogistic?

Yuan? I thought China use RMB....?

If Yuan, the price even expensive than local

Hi, just want to ask, how to chat with seller? I keep getting an error when I click onto the "Contact Seller" button.

Here the error description:

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (aliim) isn't associated with any
program or is not allowed in this context.

You might need to install other software to open this address.

I would also like to ask, is it possible to ask the seller to cut out the upper part of the packaging so the seller can ship
the item in a smaller box? Here's an example:

Hi, TGDS charges me RMB135.50 for this item.
Is this the overall cheapest option ?
Should i go for other options like global consolidate/yes logistic/ezbuy?

Thanks.

warehouse not answering phone calls. I bet seller is using a courier service which calls receiver before attempting delivery.

check in the same page, who is the 物流公司?

i PO some stuff from taobao using TGDS and so already charge me shipping cost even though the item will release around November month and so want ask will there be any issue using TGDS for PO item?

Thanks

got 1 question since i pay shipping for the pre order item using TGDS and if item arrived later do i still need to pay for shipping again?

Thanks

Hey guys, looking for some advice for topping up on Yes Logistics.

According to their site, I have to manually transfer MYR to their Malaysian bank account, and then use their website's form to notify them of the transfer. After about 1hr, my Yes Logistics 'wallet' will be topped up with the money. Is this correct?

I'm used to using Buy2Taobao which has a very convenient Maybank2u/Ipay88 top up function. This manual transfer system just feels really...rudimentary to me lol.

Cool, thanks    Also, can you give me an outline of Yes Logistics' charges? Their website is kinda unclear, but they don't charge service fee, right? So the only charges when using them as an agent are the shipping fees? (in which case, how do they make money? Do they charge higher shipping than other agents?)

Just to share my experience using Taobao Global Consolidate Shipping. Few months ago, I purchased a total of 8 items amounting RM 309 (item cost + shipping). To summarize:
1. Total cost = RM309. 8 items worth = RM 164, Shipping = RM 145. Total weight = 9.31 KG
2. The good thing was the shipping was fast for me (ABX shipping). From China to warehouse, from warehouse to  Malaysia took about a week plus to arrive. Definitely faster than my aliexpress and ebay experiences (they took 2 weeks to months to arrive).
3. Consolidate shipping means they consolidate the items and calculate each of their weights/ volumetric weights. I had 8 items and totaled up to 9.31kg. I initially thought they would group all the items together, repackage it and then remeasure the weight/ volumetric weight, but that's not correct. When I received the item, it was repackaged inside a big gunny sack about 1Meter square in size (1mx1mx1m). So, they actually tape the goods together and just chuck inside the bag for "consolidate shipping". Good thing is I didn't have any fragile items.
4. The items which cost the most was the 5 meter vacuum cleaner hose. The item cost only RM 21.68, but the shipping cost itself is RM 96.72 because of the volumetric weight calculation - 6.21kg (actual weight was about 2-3KG).   But, I figured that the price in Malaysia would have been cost much more since Karcher is already charging me RM 100 for 1 meter hose, so I decided to go with the purchase anyway.
5. For me, the only frustration is the weight/ volumetric weight because the sellers do not display them. You have to contact seller to confirm on it. And they can only converse in Mandarin. So I did chat with one of them since I know a little bit of mandarin. But I still relied a lot of Google Translate.
6. Wouldn't say it is a bad experience because if I bought these items Malaysia, it would have cost so much more! Though, I have never used any agent (EZbuy, yes logistics) before and wanted to try getting directly from Taobao itself. But I do intend to use agent in my next taobao purchases. Hopefully some can share which of the services offers the best in terms of shipping rate, etc.

 

Taobao website shows RMB32 for the first kg for TGDS which is using ZTO.

Instead, for the consolidate shipping method for ZTO, it is only RMB23 for the first kg.

Wondering why it has different pricing for direct shipping and consolidate method.   

Wrong person haha. I am not the person that bought 9kg shipment, that's longpants

I am just wondering why the price for TGDS and consolidate method is different although it is both under ZTO

when did you buy the item that weights around > 4kg with tgds ?

For mine. I did consolidated shipping. The shipping company consolidate all the items in the warehouse from all the sellers. Calculate each and every items weight/ volume. And then total the weight. Even though it was repackaged in a gunny bag (it's only about 4-5kg), but the shipping company calculated each individual weight/volume to total up 9kg.

>4kg for 32 yuan? Hmmm... How is that possible?

Just wondering if anyone here encounter this problem before. Parcel delivery keep delayed. Made a call to Skynet (Sungai Besi branch)
and they gave me another phone number to call. Called the number and a man said that the driver have forgotten to take my
parcel for delivery.    :confused:  Then he told me my parcel will be delivered tomorrow (today). From the look in the Tracking Result page,
I thought my name and address might not be readable on the parcel so I sent them a email with my particulars. So far there's no reply from
them and the latest Tracking Result indicate there's no parcel delivery for today.       

Any advice would be appreciated.
