Based on the question that you asked again here, it seem that you have no idea or meaning of 3rd party forwarding

No such thing as so call that the mypostman is the best. For example, 2 weeks ago i airship a stuff normal good with volumetric weight 12 kg, actual weight is 1.5 kg. If I engage mypostman, I need to pay 7 kg as chargeable weight which is 23 x 7 = rmb16. For my case, I paid only rmb56 because my chargeable weight is 2 kg which is rmb56. For certain air shipper when someone has no idea for this thing, the chargeable weight is 12 kg or around rmb260-270
*
Normally air will charge whichever higher, your agent so good? Based on actual weight & not volumetric?

Just another forwarder agent. Nothing special. The prices are also about the same comparatively among the competitors. But one thing I don't like is the chargeable weight of volumetric weight and actual weight whichever is higher. Lot of forwarder agents especially run by China nationality are using the formulae volumetric weight - actual weight <= 20 or 30 kg  then only volumetric weight is chargeable.  I see no reason to let this company to chop the wallet for air shipment.
*
Care to PM some of those forwarders to me? TIA. My forwarders all increase their rates since early March and they also go by volumetric irrespective of the total weight.

Those forwarder agents might not for you because mostly are opened by Chinese national. Even website and customer service only understand mandarin. There are a lot of agents are offering first 20 kg no volumetric weight. Few will offer volumetric weight - actual weight not over 30 kg. Few will offer first 10 kg no volumetric weight

Ok, found an agent which has the website in English https://elogisticscn.com/ Wonder are you able to understand.

air shipment charging rules:

Volumetric Weight 1-20kg : No Volumetric
Volumetric Weight 21kg & Above : Half Volumetric

Personally I never engage this one.

There are certain forwarder agents also introduced actual weight sea shipment as long as the Volumetric weight - actual weight < 15 kg and within certain size. Eg https://www.xiaomayibuy.com/. Don't know is still applicable or not for this sea shipment to west malaysia

tao-post com --> This one the charging rules a bit weird. Volumetric weight is only chargeable if is 3 times of actual weight

prouter cn --> Volumetric weight is only chargeable if is 2 times of actual weight

sfinex com --> this is the one i always use. Volumetric weight - actual weight < 30 kg and within the size. However, the cso is chinese national (wechat sfinex110). She can understand a bit of English but will answer in Mandarin.

Thank you very much for the elaborate explanations, stangely your current shipper is in my Wechat contact since 2019. Will get my associate in SZ to chat with her.

During this period, it is not advisiabe to go via air shipment due to escalation of air shipment cost with sea shipment speed. Now a lot of agents already mention this, please go via sea shipment. China customs clearance is fast. But need to be in the q for up to 10 days to get on flight.

Some agent launched a expedite air shipment. Eg sfinex. But is only limited to normal goods
*
Sfinex quoted me 33rmb per kg, rather high. Yes, air is waste of money, my shipment ask to sent on Friday, today still in SZ. Should have use Sea.

Is it normal for Taobao Direct warehouse processing to be very long?

I decided to try Taobao Direct delivery for the first time last week (I usually use the consolidation option). My parcel was delivered on 2nd May to warehouse - the last status is "Consignment has been signed. Awaiting processing in container warehouse". And it has remained like that up till today.

Labour day long holiday, start work only on 6th May, give it some time.

Hi, im still noob when comes to taobao but managed to register an account, and find some items i need and added to cart. Here comes the confusing part. I dont understand chinese so im using google chrome. Which is cheapest option for me? Using a warehouse in guangdong? Then ship all from there to my place? Can i do all this by myself or better to use a agent in lowyat? My items all less than 100 ringgit, small items anyways, electronic parts.
*
If they allow you to buy use taobao consolidated is cheaper. If the item cannot buy then need agent. Now seems back to normal for air. (via agent)

I'm not sure what happened to the GDex but from what the TB CS told me, they haven't even pick up any parcel from China. Mostly all still at the warehouse waiting for pickup. Looking at the comments from GDex fb page, it maybe legit that they will only deliver the parcels from June which means after Raya.
*
Yes, seems Gdex have issue now. BTW, Gdex only arranged local, China is beyond their control. BTW, my agent ask me use Mayexpress, first time heard of this courier in MY.

In the past, whenever I buy anything above RM1K (not 1000 Yuan), I was able to get Taobao to use DHL Ecommerce instead of GDex. Although that was 2 years ago
Nowadays, even for something that costs above RM2K, I'm still getting GDex

Anyone still able to get Taobao to ship through DHL Ecommerce?
*
Using DHL very high chance of getting tax. Gdex if not because of warehouse "burst" service is good. Always received SMS before they deliver.
