QUOTE(dwin95 @ Mar 10 2016, 02:58 AM) hi all just tried the consolidate shipping option for the first time using PX router as its cheapest.. some seller still not yet send their items 2-3 days in and some are arriving the warehouse soon.. will the warehouse wait for all my items? Yes, they will waitAlso, how does all the store i purchased from know which warehouse to ship to? once item all reach warehouse i have to pay shipping again right? sry alot of noob questions In fact you should have 20 days of free warehouse storage (for Dex, I'm not sure about Prouter) When you select Prouter, taobao will provide the address for prouter warehouse to the sellers. Yes, you can start paying for shipping once all your items arrived. Do provide feedback on prouter after your items arrived. I read reviews from anotehr user and delivery from prouter seems to be slower than other options (by at least 3-5 days). I'm using Dex btw. |

QUOTE(pharm87 @ Mar 11 2016, 07:42 AM) Item Subtotal (1 items) RM339.61 Wow, lots of feesShipping Fee RM12.00 Agent Fee RM28.13 Insurance Fee RM10.19 Coupon RM-1.80 Delivery Fee RM8.00 Sea shipping, but no tracking. Can opt for no insurance, but i just take it and it also cheap. And of course there is no warranty though..a gamble to take, but lucky i got a working unit Can you give the original taobao link? I tried searching for it but only the expensive ones got listed |

QUOTE(PetomJL @ Mar 12 2016, 01:30 PM) I just made my first order on taobao last Tuesday using direct global shipping. Surprisingly it arrived today! I've never received anything from overseas this fast (unless using FedEx or DHL). And this one just used regular airmail. It's probably gonna be more expensive since normal consolidate charge based on the weight. 5kg could be around +130 yuan for example, so bless tgds for the cost savingTotal oversea shipping cost was RMB55. I weighted the box, it's about 5kg++. Quite happy with the experience. Next I'm gonna try consolidated shipping... Also, do you live in KL area? Since you got your items less than a week |

QUOTE(PetomJL @ Mar 12 2016, 06:36 PM) I see. Thanks for the heads up. I thought consolidated shipping will always be cheaper than direct. Maybe gonna try it if I buy lightweight stuff. Still in Selangor area I see, the guy in iswara probably works for skynet, which handles shipping from zto (taobao direct shipping)Btw now I have no idea which courier they used. Because I chose the cheapest shipping I thought they gonna send it using normal post. It was my brother who received the item and he said a guy in iswara sent it lol. My location is in Bangi, not KL. If your stuff is lightweight, they you can consider using consolidate. Whichever is the cheapest option based on your item of course. |

QUOTE(PetomJL @ Mar 13 2016, 12:23 AM) Yes you are most probably correct. They'll quote it once they arrived to the house Good thing that skynet's service has improved lately. I have had many bad experience with them some time ago that I decided to never use their service anymore. I used to write to sellers that I specifically do not want skynet and insists on other couriers, otherwise i wont buy hahaha. Oh well that's off topic. Anyway if we choose consolidated, do we know the shipping cost upfront or are they gonna quote only after it reached warehouse? Great way to reduce shipping cost if you're buying light stuff (<1 kg) Consolidate service from dex usually gets my item delivered within a week |

QUOTE(niu_niu @ Apr 3 2016, 03:19 PM) I wanted to buy something from Taobao... 1) If TGDS not listed in the delivery, than it's because the item you're buying is not eligible for it This is the 1st time I wanna use the "Taobao Global Direct Shipping"...i have some queries 1) When want to place an order, the delivery option "颜色分类" asked to select location of shipment, like Guagdong, Beijing, Hunan. So for Taobao Global Direct Shipping, which location i should select? I asked the seller and has no idea about that... 2) The weight of item (only 1) is about 200kg+... The charges delivery charges only 78 yuan.. Is this too good to be true? Since the item is heavy and i have no idea how taobao came out with the pricing... Thanks for any advise out there ... 2) It's better if you use agent for this (like sea shipping), because the item weight already exceed the maximum allowable limit for air shipping (max at 80kg only with dex) |

QUOTE(RANDHIS @ Mar 28 2016, 09:37 PM) Can any Sifu's here help me, I am a regular buyer from Taobao, there were few times mu\y items didnt arrive, but they were cheap it was okay, this time my Transformers toys are stuck, I bought 5 items from the seller, the seller mixed the order and put them in 2 box, and send them together, I received one box and the other box is no where to be found, the tracking number 719175742422 zto last update was March 2, the skynet tracking number is the number of the previous item that I have already received. I have contacted zto, but we both cant get an understanding, in the i was able to figure out some, zto said they didnt receive the item, and i asked the seller to talk with zto, the seller said item cant be tracked once enter warehouse, here is some of the screenshots, any help would much appreciated big time. Have you resolve this? Since it's more of a mainland china shipping issue |

QUOTE(niu_niu @ Apr 3 2016, 04:01 PM) When i proceed with order...there are 3 options available i.e. select TGDS, consolidate, or contact seller for shipment....in this case, i can select TGDS. Just find it weird that the shipment is so cheap? I'm puzzled... Are you sure it's 200kg for the weight?Because even if it arrives at the warehouse, it might still get rejected by them because it exceeds the weight limit. |

QUOTE(haku189 @ Apr 11 2016, 12:47 PM) Hello guys, Can't open the linkIt is my first time bought an item at TaoBao. And I did chose TGDS. Just wanna ask, is it normal to wait this long before I received my item. Below is the screenshot for logistic status. [attachmentid=6350242] [attachmentid=6350250] I was wondering whether this item is pre-order? herewith attached the link for reference. [/URL]https://buyertrade.taobao.com/trade/detail/tradeSnap.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.NkRSq5&tradeID=1722938564321903&snapShot=true It has been almost one month since the day I made the payment. What should I do now? But I'm guessing it must be one of those pre order item I suggest that you claim refund since they haven't shipped the item domestically yet Also, pls try to ask the sellers if items are available or not before purchasing |

QUOTE(sovietmah @ Apr 15 2016, 02:08 PM) I think it is much more cheaper if i ship it back with TDGS. Nope, that's the total costSo I don't need to consolidate the item? I just worry there are hidden cost at behind after this. TGDS can reduce the shipping cost depending on the item weight/type Last time I bought a Hulkbuster iron man figure and it only cost me 32 yuan for the shipping. The actual parcel weights around 4kg and would've cost me more if I used consolidate |

QUOTE(Higuain @ Apr 14 2016, 08:01 PM) i have a question. lets say i bot 4 items, 3 items have reached warehouse and 1 item still on the way. when i tracked it i found the seller had switched to another courrier service which has not reflected in their current tracking status.

QUOTE(culain99 @ Apr 18 2016, 08:59 PM) how to check if seller support TBGS, ? If tgds is not listed, then seller does not include it. all item want to buy have same comment -> Mainland China Free shipping ( contact the seller to confirm the seller Send a direct overseas shipping) or must click Buy Now and only find out in next page ?? You could try searching the same item from different sellers and some of them might allow for direct shipping. |

QUOTE(syahwal @ Apr 15 2016, 09:29 PM) I've used TGDS last 2 weeks. & only 3 from 4 item arrived safely to me..1 item is still on china warehouse..taobao agent said my Nerf Gun order can't send to malaysia??? but i've already making 5 order before with that type of Nerf Toy Guns, and arrived safely to me with no problem at all..if i use consolidate shipping i will facing this problem again or not? They can actually know what you're buying ar, thought it's confidential to buyers only.So what happens now that the items still in warehouse? Do they get returned back to the sellers and do you get your refund back? |
