Can someone recommend a good ship-for-me agent? I want to order something from Taobao but it doesn't ship to Malaysia.

hi guys havent been buying from taobao for some time, i noticed theres a new way where it ships directly to my address?

wondering if anyone compared if its cheaper?

or which of these will be the cheapest

taobao
1. consolidate shipping
2. direct to address (considered as consolidate shipping too right? but im able to see the total shipping cost together with items checkout page)

or

forwarders? been using sfinex back then, are they still ok to use?

my item (relative small package) is just slightly above m500+ and using official direct air shipping , and i saw that it will be charged SST. do custom actually charge SST? or it depends on luck?

however if i choose direct sea shipping, i do not see that SST

Try SF Express Malaysia: https://www.sf-international.com/my/en/

But sending things back to China is quite expensive, you can try ask.

I end up just accepting my faulty product last time.

Hi! I would like to ask about custom tax. Does it includes shipping fees or just the total prices of the goods to be less/more than RM500?

Hi all, been a while since I’ve used official Taobao shipping (Sea), have always used 3rd parties reshipper for my stuff as it’s mostly electronics and sensitive equipment. So currently I have bought some electronics from taobao and has accidentally chosen sea freight instead of air (Wanted to save some money this time by going official shipping), and it’s been about a month and the item has currently arrived in Malaysia and handed over to ABX. How is your experience with ABX recently as a quick Google returned a lot of results with unhappy customers on lowyat complaining about ABX incompetence and generally terrible experience. But reading about the recent experiences on ABX again here and people are apparently happy with it. So how’s ABX service currently locally?

So far so good I received all my parcels safely. Sometimes there's slight delay 1-2 days of delivery from their side but it's ignorable.

So the old days where it’s super bad and was delivering packages to even the wrong post code days are over for ABX then? And has your packages always arrived on time based on Taobao’s official tracking ETA?

Judging from their branch office/delivery hub, I’d say ABX is the one of bottom of the barrel trash tier courier service. But they have been in the business for a long time, so maybe they are not so bad as new courier like Line Clear or Flash.

So far all my taobao stuff arrived safely. Usually Best Express would handle shipping in Msia, but this year suddenly change ABX. ABX dont deliver on weekend.
