I used Lazada (air) shipping option at Taobao. Anybody knows which shipping agent are they using? I have tried the tracking number at Skynet & Pos Laju. But it doesn't work

lazada is super slow..

i ordered quite a number of stuffs and separate them into 2 orders.

1 order courier via ZTO
1 order courier via Lazada (Air)

Both consolidated at the same time and make payment. Guess what, ZTO ready to dispatch out from China and Lazada still packing in the warehouse.

Sigh, why Taobao go collaborate with Lazada..Lazada service is terrible slow bangwall.gif

Alibaba which owns Taobao also owns Lazada. Jack Ma had spent USD 2 billion to buy a majority stake in Lazada. Lazada would be their main channel for Asean consumers. So it makes sense for taobao to help lazada in ways that they can.

Hi guys, there is only 集运 consolidate shipping option for me. All the online guide (example: https://sea.taobao.com/howtobuy) I came across have this 使用转运服务 option. Will this consolidate shipping option work for me?

I am also curious too.. Let me know if you found any way to track ourselves.
I can see the current status in the item's individual detailed status that it's moving to the customs now, but the tracking number doesn't work anywhere.

just received my package from their revamp taobao website.
Chose lazada (air) - experience that highly it would pass kastam without issue since it's under lazada and DTFZ system

items sent on sunday from China, today received.
rate was 29y , if it was to be old system it would be 39y
guess it saved me 10y thumbup.gif

good experience from me

Based on my experience:

- Option 1 (direct) - cheaper if heavy items. If different sellers, must order together in the same checkout and will pay all cost upfront including shipping.
- Option 2 (consolidated) - cheaper for not so heavy shipment (less than 2kg or so). Only pay for the items at checkout and shipping will only be quoted later when they arrived at warehouse. Then you decide when you want them to send out the entire batch, and you can add new order in the meantime. They can keep the items in warehouse for free for some days (i forgot how many). If exceed the days you need to pay the 'rental'.

- Both options allow you to buy from different sellers.

- Example from my experience: 1) Shipment A, I used Option 1 and was quoted ¥55 for overseas shipment. It actually weighed 5kg+ so if I use option 2, it should cost ¥100++. 2) For shipment B, I was quoted ¥89 for Option 1. It actually weighed 1.8kg so Option 2 had costed ¥44.

- You might not know the weight to decide which option to take so you will need to estimate yourself (whether your items are heavy or light).

- Option 3 is almost always most expensive but probably fastest because each seller will send them separately and no need to wait for other orders to arrive at warehouse.

No, option 3 is shipping direct by seller, not using agent or forwarder. The fastest one they usually use DHL.

Actually that post was old. I'm not sure what options they have now. I don't remember seeing the third option during my recent buys.

I noticed they have added many agents/couriers to choose from for consolidate shipping. Skynet is one of them. Not sure which courier is fastest, but I chose ABX.

I personally would never use skynet because of bad experience before, but if skynet serves your area ok, then it's fine.

maybe the parcel dimension over the size limit, hence the warehouse rejected ?
