Just received my parcel from taobao again. This time clearly the van is ABX express. Taobao consolidated sea shipping bout 17kg (volumetric) Same speed as last time  But anyhow the goods are not really protected. So some of the steel racks have dents have to knock back, patah a bit need epoxy to glue. But the glass stuffs the seller already put in box with polystyrene so it is safe. Electrical items also is boxed and have polystyrene so it is safe. Looks like for sea shipping it really depends on how the first seller pack the items, also the items at the edge of the bag is usually the ones dented. The items inside is okay protected by other stuffs. This post has been edited by Xcal: Jul 6 2020, 03:17 PM |

QUOTE(Lumenhistoire @ Jul 14 2020, 07:35 PM) Some small advice for you who are new to taobao . Sea shipping count by volume or whichever weight is higher . Means if your actual item weight is 400gram but your volumetric weight is 1.5kg , it’ll be counted as 1.5kg . The volumetric weight is count by how big the wrapping plastic is . WxLxH/6000 = your volumetric weight . So if you’re buying a smaller item go for air shipping . It’s not worth to have sea shipping if you bought smaller and lighter Item such as clothes , shoe etc . I weight all of my item with the plastic bag on it it’s only around 3kg but end up the volumetric weight is 9kg . Air shipping doesn't count volumetric? Hmm |

Seems like price for Sea shipping changed for the 1st 3kg, previously was 29.9 RMB but now it is 17 RMB, quite cheap.

QUOTE(culain99 @ Oct 14 2020, 04:56 PM) It's 17 RMB per kg for first 3kg sea shipping if not mistaken. No it is 17 RMB for 0-3 Kg (so if you ship 3kg or less it is 17 RMB) Which is weird cause 17 / 3 = 5.7 RMB per KG so if that is the case they are encouraging us to split orders into 3kg tranches it seems. But anyway still it's good. Hope it's not a mistake can lasts. |

QUOTE(Silfer @ Dec 29 2020, 10:07 AM) Hi, may I know when I checkout the items in my cart, the final amount is including the shipping fee? Or need to pay another cost for shipping? You need to pay another cost for shipping depending on what you choose in the shipping options |
