Anyone interested in sharing for the trial Prime account?

We can pool together and buy many items - save cost !

RM 8.80 for unlimited number of items per order

RM 18.80 for the 1 month trial.

We can split the cost of this - interested?
*
the rm8.80 only applies on items offered by prime ...am i right ?

Sounds like rmb32 is total shipping cost for all 9kg shipment, not 1st kg
That's the thing about tgds, it only estimates your item.
I've bought item that weights around >4kg and only cost 32 yuan.
Btw, you need to select TGDS first and it will list the estimated shipping cost at the bottom of checkout.
*
when did you buy the item that weights around > 4kg with tgds ?

For mine. I did consolidated shipping. The shipping company consolidate all the items in the warehouse from all the sellers. Calculate each and every items weight/ volume. And then total the weight. Even though it was repackaged in a gunny bag (it's only about 4-5kg), but the shipping company calculated each individual weight/volume to total up 9kg.

>4kg for 32 yuan? Hmmm... How is that possible?
*
my understanding is...the shipping company will measure both actual weight and volumetric weight...and charge upon whichever is higher weight
correct me if i am wrong...if that's true then bigger box but light weight will charge you more on shipping fee

If there's one taobao can guarantee is you'll get your item shipped within just a week
Compare to aliexpress, if they're using free postage by chinapost, could take anytime from 2 weeks to almost a month.

i noticed aliexpress is more expensive than taobao...correct ?

issit me or or just taobao direct shipment is getting expensive.

i bought around Y712 for 7 items, the shipment is Y218!

i believe Y218 includes the domestic shipping from sellers in different states...assuming you ordered from different sellers
that's what happened to my order last time...

Comparing TGDS and Consolidated

there's no way compare consolidated vs TGDS shipping fee right? until the items have reached warehouse, and consolidation price will be shown

So, it's more of a gamble (+ some logic) that, perhaps TGDS could be cheaper than consolidated?
*
with TGDS...even if the item has weight/size stated...it will still be estimated weight by the TGDS system
so it depends on luck i guess

since i am from east msia...abx has to go thru kota kinabalu...then kuching...then only miri
whereas skynet straight from kl to miri...which is faster

Kinda regret putting my workplace address in Kerteh, expected to get parcel by Thursday but doesn't like I'm gonna get it by tomorrow  sweat.gif

dear sifus,

just want to confirm, for east msia TGDS forwarder is Skynet as stated here: https://world.taobao.com/markets/all/2016_l...lider.10.zKPhHC

however...recently all my TGDS deliveries are all from ABX. What about west msia ?

the reason i am asking this is because there's dimension difference between Skynet vs ABX...

Should be depending on the warehouse limits dimension, not in the local courier here

warehouse limits dimension is one thing, local courier dimension limits is another thing...

see attached pic for different size limits imposed by different couriers
