QUOTE(longpants @ Oct 10 2017, 11:06 PM) Maybe I was lucky then? Or there's a cap on GST? yes CNY8 per KG. so RMB 8 * 27 kg + RMB 16 = RMB 232. If not would have paid at least CNY 48 for GST alone. LOL! you are lucky indeed... i was charged 6% on my item value

guys need your advice on this:
"The official forward service at taobao is more expensive then 代运,logistic agent. There is no additional fees, coz transection directly with taobao seller. Shipment is to logistic agent warehouse address. Sea freight is cubic square, not by weight like official taobao forward service by lazada. I check with my previous sea freight history d, rate will be much higher if all my previous items shipped with taobao official forward service by sea freight (lazada) compare with 3rd party logistic agent sea freight by cubic square. The one additional charge is 代购, purchasing agent. Usually ppl who lazy to deal with taobao seller or not understand chinese will use purchasing agent. agent help u to pay to taobao seller n u pay to the agent with additional service charge."
So taobao sea freight is more expensive than 代运,logistic agent ?

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Nov 3 2017, 01:46 PM) Check the estimated shipping first, if too expensive you might as well use ezbuy prime (rm8 shipping regardless of weight) then buy all the items on your wishlist in one go...only rm8.80 shipping fee

QUOTE(jutamind @ Nov 3 2017, 07:23 PM) Regardless of weight? No other charges? If delivery charges so cheap, why use direct/consolidated shipping then? the thing is...you need to subscribe to prime membership first and i double confirmed with ezbuy via live chat, they said unlimited weight and dimension

QUOTE(Afiffar @ Nov 6 2017, 12:29 PM) Ok thank you sir But, do you know any forwarder service that dont use volumetric weight? Once shipped my item using ZTO, the actual weight was 3kg but I was charged 9.5kg because of the volumetric weight of my items😥 forwarder service that don't charge based on volumetric weight...no chance, unless you go for Ezbuy Prime shipping unless some here has that kinda contact then please share This post has been edited by lyc1982: Nov 6 2017, 12:36 PM

QUOTE(Serendipity123 @ Nov 7 2017, 11:26 AM) But their unlimited is only the international shipping right? When the parcel reach malaysia, still need to pay shipping for delivery to door, right? Last time, only pay once. It was also the reason why I didnt renew my membership, coz of the extra shipping charges to EM. for door-to-door delivery yes, extra shipping charges. from my understanding...if you opt for delivery to self-collection point in EM then only the flat rate Rm8.80 shipping fee is incurred EDIT: someone here perhaps can verify this ?

QUOTE(sunfl0w3r @ Nov 9 2017, 01:56 PM) You will hv to find shipping agents like ECTbuy that doesn’t count volumetric weight ECTbuy only charged solely based on actual weight ? so meaning if i buy a pair of shoes but with big box also only actual weight counted ?
