I kena already they reject my parcel and send back to seller and in the end i have to contact agent to ship back to me. and i cant seems to get refund on the direct ship.

So if still within 120cm for each side, you're still only charged 32 yuan then? That's definitely a much lower shipping cost than taobao agent charges

For example (40cm x 40cm x 40cm / 6000) = 10kg
And normally they'll charge rm10-13/kg depending on seller of course.

What's the limit for the parcel weight?

nono... 32 yuan is the minimum shipping cost.... you buy like a shirt or powerbank is 32 yuan, when the item gets bigger, the shipping cost will go up. I do not have a formula on how they calculate the shipping cost. But it seems like they are cheaper than agent.

Like the agents always charge us sensitive item, they do not impose any fees on sensitive item. Anyway I think agents charge us sensitive item is to pay custom for smoother transition. Whereas taobao dont charge for sensitive item, maybe your % of going through custom is lower hahaa.

This you have to ask those agents....

I take the shipping cost is quoted right after you add all the items in one cart?
Or once all the items arrived at their warehouse, they'll quote the shipment cost?

What happened when their warehouse rejected your item? How did you handle it so still gets shipped to your address?

No, quote when you check out, so dont have to do 2 times payment.

Rejected is very troublesome the parcel will go back to seller, and you have to rearrange and ur money is not refundable.

If you using the direct shipping service, try to track your parcel on the skynet, if no result on the skynet mean your parcel probably still stuck in the China custom or got delayed
As far as I know, They don't ship any prohibited items like food and electronics, you can either ask the seller to remove the battery from the Electronics you want to buy (if it removable) or use Taobao agent.

hi all,

Need you guys help. icon_question.gif

On Nov 11, I ordered 5 pieces of framed arts from Taobao. I chose 4px as my parcel forwarder. That was my first time i ordered from Taobao. I didn't aware until 2 days ago that 4Px changed the rule on Oct 10, using volume metric weight and actual weight, whichever one is higher, to calculate the actual weight of the parcel shakehead.gif .

I've 2 parcels (already shipped by seller but yet to reach the warehouse) and each parcel dimension is 93(cm) x 73(cm) x 17(cm). I believe each parcel actual weight is less than 5kg. If using volume metric weight calculation, the weight of each parcel is approx 93x73x19/6000 = 22kg !!! Total weight of 2 parcels is 44kg. I tried to ask the seller to reduce the dimension but they said can't do it because the items are fragile. The total cost of my framed arts is only RM520. Based on my own calculation, i need to top up another RM820 (at least) for the shipment cry.gif . I'm insane if i proceed to ask 4px to deliver. Is there any alternative solution ? hmm.gif

I've a few items i'm still trying to buy from Taobao but I'm not sure whether the weight of the new items can be counted as part of the 22kg/parcel (volume metric weight) or have to treat the new items separately ? I'm still trying to figure out way to utilise my shipment fee. I can't find any information on the web. Hassle to communicate with Taobao/4Px as i need to use google translate everytime. rclxub.gif

If no solution, probably i will default my items, let my items stay in the warehouse beyond 90 days and get dispose by 4px. Probably this will be my last time i shop Taobao sad.gif

contact ur seller, ask them redirect to your forwarding agent.

now you have no choice but to use forwarding agent, get a new address from your forwarding agent and give to seller ask them send there.

so you have to pay extra shipping fees to forwarding agent. and you cant get back your fee ffrom 中通集运
