QUOTE(Razer_coc @ Jun 15 2018, 11:41 PM) Can I know what does this means and what will happen next ? Your parcel already left the ZTO warehouse. Next is to clear the Customs in China before being air freight to KLIA. Could you please update when you receive your parcel so that we know whether ZTO is good? Thanks.

QUOTE(Razer_coc @ Jun 16 2018, 09:32 AM) ZTO is the local courier or the international ? Can I know how long usually taken to clear China customs . Ok will update if anything . ZTO is the consolidated shipper / warehouse in China; normally takes a day or two to clear the Customs, but may be longer depends on situation. Not sure which local courier will do the local delivery in Malaysia.

QUOTE(X3RXUS @ Jun 16 2018, 12:27 PM) I think because of TMall having 618 sales. I'm having a hard time login to Taobao website because of that. Ya could be that. Last time around end 2017 Double 11 and Double 12 sales period there were delays both in China and KLIA Customs. One of my parcel took 3 weeks plus to arrive.

Hi all, last week I used ZTO for consolidated shipping and noticed that all the items they weighted are exact to the closest hundred grams, eg 100g, 200g 300g, 400g....etc.
When I received my items I weigh them and found that the actual weigh is much lighter, eg 60g, 150g, 260g, 350g...etc.
I now have another batch of items waiting to be consolidated and they all also weighted to the closest hundred grams. I have contacted ZTO to ask them to reweigh the items, not sure if they will actually do it.
Obviously they are cheating.

QUOTE(mistical @ Aug 8 2018, 10:43 AM) Anyone knows what the status below means? It seems like my parcel should be at the warehouse already, however I'm still unable to see the option to consolidate shipping for this particular item. The same status is shown since 2 days ago until now. [attachmentid=9959934] Are you using ZTO? Same experience for me, same status for last 2 days, but when I check using the courier own tracking it shows already delivered! The item is missing from the system, not in "waiting for consolidation 待合包 ", neither in "waiting for receiving into warehouse 待入库". I was on chat with the ZTO customer service and they ask me to check back a day or two. Contact customer service here - https://world.taobao.com/helper/knowledge.h...tD9&kid=6551700or email - english@service.alibaba.com

QUOTE(mistical @ Aug 8 2018, 12:48 PM) Yup ZTO consolidated shipping. Used to use 4px previously with not much problems, but since they've removed 4px I had to switch to ZTO instead. Hopefully my item won't go missing somewhere. Thanks for the links, will try to contact them if still no update by today.  btw, did you manage to get them to reweigh the items? Cos I noticed the weight for some of my items is quite high too I complain but they don't seems to bother. Will never use ZTO again.

As mentioned a few weeks ago, based on my experience ZTO is cheating when they weigh each parcel at their warehouse. Typically the weight is rounded up to the nearest 100 gram. Eg parcel actual weight 155g will be 200g!
This is on every single parcel, and when you consolidate everything the weight difference will be huge.
Anyone using ZTO currently/most recently please feedback whether this is still happening?

I have made a few order on Taobao these 2 days and notice that the delivery addresses of the warehouse are different, one in Dongguan and the other in Guangzhou.
I wonder how the consolidation will work.

QUOTE(smokey @ Nov 24 2018, 12:40 PM) I bought a dry box for camera Best is to ask seller to help you to find out the shipment status. If it has been shipped back to seller, then ask for refund from seller. If seller ignore then raise a refund request on taobao, stating item not received, let taobao sort it out will seller. Cheers.
