Just received my parcel from taobao again. This time clearly the van is ABX express.

Taobao consolidated sea shipping bout 17kg (volumetric)

Same speed as last time



But anyhow the goods are not really protected. So some of the steel racks have dents have to knock back, patah a bit need epoxy to glue. But the glass stuffs the seller already put in box with polystyrene so it is safe. Electrical items also is boxed and have polystyrene so it is safe.

Looks like for sea shipping it really depends on how the first seller pack the items, also the items at the edge of the bag is usually the ones dented. The items inside is okay protected by other stuffs.

I just realized it's not 17kg but it's 28kg haha.

it's mostly volumetric weight

Below rm6/kg very good rates.

How much did you pay for the 92KG shipping ?

Suddenly Dex-i so slow pulak
2 days no movement

My first experience using consolidated sea shipping.

I usually use consolidated air for smaller packages (<3kg) but this time my order was about 12kg altogether so I decided to try out sea shipping (cause it was cheaper haha)

Local courier was Citylink - it was quite hard at the beginning to track the parcel but other than that it went well

How did you guys get sea shipment tracking number ? My taobao apps show 10 digit number only. I try to track at ABX and DEX-I website but both show record no found.

Edited: Found my parcel already, now with BEST Express they're new COMONE Express agent at KK Sabah.

Some small advice for you who are new to taobao . Sea shipping count by volume or whichever weight is higher . Means if your actual item weight is 400gram but your volumetric weight is 1.5kg , it’ll be counted as 1.5kg . The volumetric weight is count by how big the wrapping plastic is . WxLxH/6000 = your volumetric weight . So if you’re buying a smaller item go for air shipping . It’s not worth to have sea shipping if you bought smaller and lighter Item such as clothes , shoe etc . I weight all of my item with the plastic bag on it it’s only around 3kg but end up the volumetric weight is 9kg .

hi! anyone have this problem before, stuck at abx kota kinabalu already five days still doesnt delivery to kuching

Air shipping doesn't count volumetric? Hmm

I ordered from Taobao on 07.07
selected global direct shipping
the package arrived today 16.07

anyone tried buying folding bicycle before?
is it taxable or the forwarder takes care of everything?

anything above RM$500 gets taxed....matter of whether you get what % tax on top of the goods classification is...

btw...$500 is inclusive of shipping too....NETT...not separate...

i use 3rd party forwader the most expensive thing i ever order is around rm50k no problem with tax or anything
