Don't think so. The order must be placed on 11 November 00:00 to 23.59 to be entitled to the promotion

if buy stuff from taobao that is over RM500 confirm will detain by custom? Then who will contact me to go custom office to paid tax for my item?

Thanks
*
I would say it depends on your luck for shipment over RM500 (total items cost + forwarder shipping cost). The courier company will inform you about it if your shipment is detained by the custom. If you are using third party forwarder agent, you can try to declare it at a lower price too but at your own risk as some agents will compensate you based on the price declared if your parcel goes missing.

Just need some confirmation, has anyone managed to buy/ship items that comes with lithium battery inside so far using tgds or consolidate?

Also, if warehouse don't accept item, if need to ship back to store address, do we need to add additional payment? I do notice there's a return option
*
I once bought something with two triple A batteries inside and it goes through the ZTO payment successfully.

As for returning, if the warehouse reject it directly without accepting it, it will be returned to the seller without additional charges. If the warehouse has accepted it and you would like to return it then you will have to pay the shipping fees unless the seller has included the free return shipping insurance in your purchase

I ordered a guitar and used direct shipping aka COE warehouse, b4 the seller sends out, I have texted COE and asked about the item can be shipped or not.
They told me currently bz with 11.11 day, asked me to send later, a week after the 11.11 I asked the seller to send the item to COE,
they rejected my item due to oversized, previously i had sent something even bigger than the guitar but this time they don let me thru. they asked me to text them after their logistic process becomes normal again.
now my guitar stuck at courier there.

I'm so frustrated becoz they didnt mention anything about oversize when i send them the link of the item on taobao. They only told me don send during 11.11.

Sigh....
*
Taobao website has already specified the maximum size that can be accepted icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyone tried using taobao direct after buying sensitive item? Isit better using agent to buy sensitive item?
*
I have bought a car dashcam and a few IP Cameras using TGDS before and I received them successfully. Those items will normally be considered as sensitive items if I am using the third party forwarder.

Hi guys, need some guidance from sifus here regarding the Taobao Global Direct Shipping.

Previously I'm using agent to purchase & ship items from TB. So this is my 1st time going to try this out myself. But I have few matter need to be assure before proceeding to do so.

1. If I buy few items from different sellers from TB, will these items be shipped to me in 1 parcel at the same time? Or it will be shipped differently?

2. If all items will be shipped in the same time in 1 parcel, need to arrange it before or after making payment to taobao?

3. Can I use local bank CC to make payment for the items purchased from taobao together with the courier fees as well? How & where to check the currency exchange rate by using CC?

4. Normally how long it will take to arrive to MY by using air courier?

5. Is there a list of items that will be tax by Malaysia custom that we can refer to?
*
3) There will be a 3% transaction fee for credit card payment while 1.5% transaction fee for e-banking payment

5) To be safe, only buy below RM500 including the shipping charges per shipment


QUOTE(cskean @ Feb 21 2017, 06:47 PM)
Btw, does this Taobao Global Direct Shipping support purchase from TMALL as well?
*
Yes. It can support TMALL as well.

My items kena tahan and stuck at kastam now. Courier company ask me to pay tax which I think the tax amount is reasonable. But they want me to pay additional fee for EDI charges + handling fee which are more expensive than the tax. So I ask them whether I can go to kastam clear it myself, the answer is NO. They told me not everyone can go kastam and need to has some kind of pass. Anyone can share if has similar experience? Should I just pay the courier company?  sad.gif

Hey guys, just wanted to ask what I should do if my package is stuck in the warehouse for about a week now. I use TGDS. Never happened before and I'm a frequent buyer :/

Orders still stuck at 正在出库 and【集运】您的包裹已由中通集运仓库签收 on the tracking page. The thing is one of the items actually came in the mail a few days ago, single package. But the rest are still stuck? I consolidated about 8 items with TGDS.

Tried to contact sellers but they told me to check with the warehouse agent, and I have no idea how to contact them. I wouldn't mind waiting, but the fact that a single package from the bundle ended up here without the rest gives me worry.

Which forwarder are you using? You may contact them using this link. Under the row for Malaysia, click on the forwarder logo and it will open up the chat

Ikr that's like 80% of the total amount and it is the highest amount of tax that I have ever heard of

got 1 question is it possible the warehouse calculate wrong shipping fee for my item as i try buy the same item and  same seller which using taobao global direct shipping fee is RMB43 instead in warehouse (Skynet) they calculate the shipping fee as RMB64. Thanks
*
If I am not mistaken if you are using TGDS, the shipping fee is calculated according to the weight that the seller set.

But, if you are using the consolidate method, the warehouse will calculate the shipping charges according to either the actual weight or volumetric weight whichever that is higher.

In this case, the consolidate method charges a higher shipping charges may be because it is calculated based on the volumetric weight.
