Oh interesting thread. btw, I thought you guys can read Chinese? Using this service since 2014.

what does the reverse pink text means? is it like sensitive item, extra charge?

Hi does anybody buy speaker from taobao before? Interested to get a solid wood speaker about 7 to 8 kg in weight. I know can use consolidate service to ship but not sure if it will be allow to ship out of China or Malaysia customer will impost taxes. Sometimes ago i bought an eletronic part and it was not allowed to ship out of China.

Contain sensitive items

From what i heard..
Taobao web detected our location and due to some copy right issue. If the product name or description mentions same famous brand name, it will not allow to sell to non China ip. But you can try taobao app, so far no restriction.

Normal taobao app or taobao global?

can ship out, right? one item is cleaning powder

consolidate at Dex for several small items is cheaper than TGDS

I am using taobao global android

Cleaning powder might be under chemical catagory which is not allowed to ship out. You can check the list in taobao web.

Sensitive item like battery or build-in battery products cant ship out. I can't even buy my beloved GBA Catridges.

hi bro...
based on your experience here...if i buy a single item which weighs 6kg and dimension of 62*52*12 CM, is it advisable to use TGDS instead of consolidating and shipping option ?
TIA

hi sifus sekalian...need you guys' advice

Why i cant pay via my public school bank debit visa card

Depends on which option saves you most on deliver charges
It helps a lot knowing the exact details of the parcel if you're going for consolidate so you can estimate shipping frees

If tgds fees is lower than estimated charges for consolidate, then you should go for that and vice versa
Might I add sometimes tgds can overcharge based on your item. Recently I bought a stand for 25 yuan but tgds fees was ridiculous at 160 yuan, so I went for consolidate option instead.

thanks for the reply...
i figured my item weighs 6kg...which will incur more shipping fee via consolidation option compared to tgds...haha

ask the one that issue the card

Shopback no longer allows buying from other than ai.taobao.com

but item in ai.taobao.com doesnt have taobao direct shipping or option to select pr router or other shipping agents. Instead the only option is to contact seller.

How are we going to do this and how the payment to seller will take place? it's cumbersome if just for less than 10 yuan of shipping fee we have to create china credit card or China bank account or wired transfer personally to these PRC seller.

i'm using Dex-Abx, and when do i get the ABX waybill no.?

status now, says its on the flight

Use the same tracking jer

Anyone facing problem browsing in taobao? When I search for items nothing comes out, sometimes show time-out page. When I want to check my shopping-cart it shows times out.
