Because I have a socket 775 motherboard that I want to upgrade. And Core 2 Quad is sufficient for me to play some old games.

Anyone has any idea why items with discount are not available for ordering? When I wanna make order, it is put under 失效宝贝,and states: 该宝贝不支持国际转运服务,如果您需要购买,请取消国际转运 Normal priced item can be ordered tho. *Edit : Added some normal priced item, cannot be ordered also.

I think the Official Taobao forwarder refused to Forward the particular item, due to the seller disable overseas shipping option, or it could be sensitive item, it occurs to me once, and i uses third party shipping agent, like ezbuy to shipped for me, but i didn't use it for quite some time already, don't know whether still good or not.

Hi bro, i'm thinking of using sea shipping from China also but im afraid if I need to pay any extra money for tax/duty when my item arrive here. Did u pay any extra money for your item? (Other then for the item itself + sea shipping fee from China). And what did u buy? Plus how much is the purchase? Sorry for asking to much🙏🙏 thank you in advance

I see, out of five items, only one item can be bought. Guess I have to use agent then Thanks for your reply

Sorry for asking to much🙏🙏 thank you in advance If using sea shipping, 6% GST would be imposed on the item you've purchased, and the tax amount is based on the value of your item before adding the shipping fees , it would be collected during consolidation payment, i bought about 7.5 kilos of rack & pot actually for 100++, one of them is redeemed by point's, both of them not sensitive item so it less likely to get into trouble passing through custom.
