Delivery time is pretty much the same actually.
Not so sure about prouter since I haven't try their service yet

usually after we pay the forwarder, how long it takes for the item to fly out to Malaysia?
From what i Have read here, some of the forwarder take so many days to send out the item.. especially
when we use direct global shipping. Is it true?

Never try before, but this method might works (theorically)
1. Depend whether seller want you to ship back or not (nego with seller)
2. If no proceed below, if Yes, please ship back and do your own math see which more worthy by calculating the shipping cost or just buy a new one. (shipping back to China IS NOT CHEAP!)
3. So how they gonna ship you when you are using forwarding? well, simple. talk to seller, and explain your situation to him (fingercross he understand, as most seller do not aware taobao does ship oversea by using forwarding)
So ask them like this method, I click the same items into my cart, ask them set to 0.01Yuan, pay it and send to your forwarding as usual method. of course when they took back your faulty product first.

Usually I return my products under free return policy periods, lets say I change my mind after my product reach my forwarding warehouse. I select send back or refund.

So this is my 1st time experience, return the product from Malaysia back into China and the seller does refund back to me. What a amazing experience. From I place the order and I received in Malaysia tooks around 7days, and sending back to him took another 2 weeks. And money from Taobao refund back into my Alipay tooks another 1 weeks. IT DOES NOT STOP HERE. Alipay verify my amount and waiting my Credit Card bank to go through that gonna take 1 more weeks. My CC bank just verify the amount 3 days ago, and now I need another 3 weeks (ETA shown in the Alipay dashboard) before the amount show in my statement/account. doh.gif
*
Well, as long as the refund is completed. Don't really mind the waiting part

That's a nice idea with seller changing the price of item in the cart. Didn't know they can adjust the price some more in the cart.
At least now don't have to go to all trouble to deal with warehouse etc.

For me it usually goes like this

1st day - you buy your item, seller posted it (delivery time can vary depending on seller location). Since i use dex located in guangzhou, i usually try to buy from sellers in nearby area if available.

2nd day - item arrives at warehouse. You pay for consolidate fee. With tgds, you don't have to deal with this since payment already done.

3rd day - ships to airport, goes thru china customs.

4th day - transit to msia

5th day - goes thru msia customs

6th and onwards - handover to local courier and home delivery. If everything goes smoothly, you might get it less than a week.

it won't reveal the final price until you checkout.

For example it show 100RMB in your cart, but when check out, it can show up 80RMB (lets say assume seller discount you 20RMB or you use specific Voucher given by seller)

Also, seller also can set you as their Tier A or B or C return buyer as there are automatic system detect how much money you spend on specific seller. So lets say Tier C get 5% discount if the return buyer buy more than 1000RMB in the past using the same account. I found out this when I tumpang my friend account buy the same things and found how come use my account are more cheaper than him, then only realize that I spend a lot on the same seller.

Also, there are also a way to cheat the system give you some exclusive "Mobile/Apps Only" price. Is use your smartphone put into cart and check out on PC.
For example, PC Price is 100RMB, go to Apps it will automatically show 80RMB, put into cart, go back into your PC web version, it remain in 80RMB even when you check out.

Is it still on the way to china warehouse or after consolidate is done? You can see it in the item tracking page
Maybe you could check the abx tracking no?

I'm also experiencing the same thing actually... it did mention that it might be delayed for about 4-5 days during the 11.11 sales period but I've paid for my shipping on Monday afternoon and have yet to receive any updates... still seeing 等待出库 status without any tracking number. (Or maybe I am just blind lol)

Feeling quite anxious since it's my first taobao purchase without agents unsure.gif

talking to the forwarding support. (yes very hard to communicate even thou I can speak/type in Mandarin) doh.gif
tell them to re-ship the missing parcel OR re-locate where is the parcels in their warehouse

Also, you need to communicate to the seller to verify the parcel, see whether have been signed/delivered to your forwarding warehouse or not.

I have 1 parcel left in the warehouse that they left out to send, now they try to resend to me again. Another 2nd parcel was delivered&signed by forwarding warehouse but, they couldn't locate it due to seller (this is seller fault) didn't include the tracking number provide to the forwarding warehouse. So forwarding have no idea that parcels is for who. But the 2nd parcel also resolved as I manage to get the tracking number from seller and provide to forwarding customers support, and she help me to update my system info and try to re-ship to me.

guys is sgshop . com . my verified ? and anyone have use their services ? those sgshop are taobao agent.. so if anyone have experience with them please tell

This is my experience with SGShop.

I placed orders on their website on Nov 11th 8pm++, but they delayed placing the order until the next day.

SO, my items are not entitled to the promotion price. That's around RM90 extra!! mad.gif

I argued with their cs via online chat, they denied to compensate me anything,
only provide 2 options:
1, drop the orders if I feel it is expensive
2, pay the price difference

I'm like.. What?!! ranting.gif
Why I have to bear with the price difference due to their mistake??
Drop the order and purchase next time? Ringgit is dropping, do you think it is a better solution for me?

Lastly, I made a complaint to their email and only get little discount on shipment fee.
But still, cannot cover the total loss.


Although their overall service is okay,
But I think I won't deal with SGShop for the next Taobao order.

Consumer wants a good shopping experience. To me, SGShop is not.

All the while for the past 4year, I was using the 4PX (local WestMalaysia they use Airpak), this need manually to select pack and ship (and then pay again).
(all the while I was using www.taobao.com)

Then recently, I try (global.taobao.com), they have a more simplier method to do this(they even pack and ship when all stock arrived and final price inclusive during 1st time check out). There is no other option to select which consolidator, if I'm not mistaken, the default are Dex, and local here is using SkyNet.

Thank you for your response! I've communicated with the forwarding warehouse and they promised me to re-send it to me but there is no tracking no. from dex. The parcel is sent out and i'm not sure it can reach to my destination or not due to no tracking.no given.

I'm just curious, how do they miss things out and left in warehouse? Isit the official forwarder or the 3rd party one?

If the official forwarder don't the system show that in their package got the items listed?

If 3rd party shipping, don't you also need to pick the list of items that should be sent?
