Diao betol, now i'm screwed.
Seller ship 5 parcel to forwarding warehouse, but warehouse only ship 1 to me, balance 4 left in China. Somemore I pay the Custom Malaysia tax already. Now have to redo all those shit again.
*
Sometimes have to becareful to ask seller how many packages they will send out.
If you buy one item from the Taobao page but seller send out 2 or more packages with different tracking number, the one with tracking number recorded in your order will be tracked, other packages will not be tracked.

So what you have to do is to get the tracking numbers for your remaining packages, and tell the warehouse customer service to ship out your items.

hi, can get hand phone battery via direct shipping?

Better don't do that, direct shipping use air shipment, and battery is one of the item which is prohibited for air shipment.
What phone battery you want to buy?

Hi ,may I know if I want buy bed and cupboard in taobao. If I use sea shipping. My things length *width*high is 223cm*237cm*90cm .total I want prepare around how much ?
*
Becareful especially if you buy bulky stuffs like this.
This item usually have several packages when seller ship out the product.
If you choose Taobao sea shipment, the system can only record one tracking number.
If seller ship out several packages using different tracking number, the other packages will not be tracked, and hence they will "lost".

To estimate the shipping fee, you have to know both the weight and the dimension of all the packages.
Since they use volumetric weight, and will take whichever is heavier.

Since this item will ship out in several packages, the total weight will be added up from all the packages.
With this, it is hard to estimate the shipping fee.
But best is to ask the seller about the dimensions and also the weight of the item.

If I am you, I will engage third party forwarder to help me handle this kind of bulky purchase.
Last time this third party forwarder EZbuy has RM 8.80 international shipping fee for PRIME membership, regardless how big or heavy your total items are.
I utilized their trial PRIME membership to ship coffee table from Taobao, saved me almost RM200 of shipping fee.
I am not sure EZbuy still has this offer now, you may check other 3d party forwarder if they have similar thing.

i thought ezbuy already gg in terms of china shipping due to logistics issue ?
*
My coffee table purchase was done before the news announcing TB blocked EZbuy.
Even after the news, I am still able to use their Buy-For-Me service, although without PRIME, and my order was fulfilled.
My last order from EZbuy was around end of last year.
As of now, their website is still up, and I guess they are still running the business.

I am using ectbuy Ship-For-Me service, so far so good, and no volumetric weigh as compared to taobao official shipment.
Shipping quite fast too, took 3 to 4 working days.

Hi all, last week I used ZTO for consolidated shipping and noticed that all the items they weighted are exact to the closest hundred grams, eg 100g, 200g 300g, 400g....etc.

When I received my items I weigh them and found that the actual weigh is much lighter, eg 60g, 150g, 260g, 350g...etc.

I now have another batch of items waiting to be consolidated and they all also weighted to the closest hundred grams. I have contacted ZTO to ask them to reweigh the items, not sure if they will actually do it.

Obviously they are cheating.

Remember there is also volumetric weight.

taobao direct ship, how many days does it take once item reach china warehouse ?
*

It depends, if all your items under direct shipping reached warehouse and recorded, then Taobao will send notification to warehouse to ship out your order. At this point, it depends on the warehouse if busy or not. Workers in warehouse once received the notification, they will pack all your items together and weight it. If everything is OK, then they will proceed to hand over your parcel to courier to ship out to Malaysia. If smooth, 4 days to 6 days to reach your door step.

This Chinese address does not really matter much, because local courier mostly can't read Chinese.
I would recommend you to put the full address from house number, road, taman, city, state to country in English or Malay even after you chosen the city and state in Chinese.
Better safe than sorry, avoid to complain here that you did not receive your parcel.

Now another thing, can we use the consolidated shipping address by taobao if I want to purchase from Wechat seller?

No, please use 3rd party forwarder instead.
If you use the Taobao address but your purchase does not go through Taobao system, the warehouse might reject your parcel or your item will not be tracked.

Dear all, I need some advice on my parcel delivery using the official sea shipment (not lazada). Bought my things from Taabao on 7/12 and dex-i picked up my parcel on 9/12. When I track through their system, it showed 13/9 leave port. Until now no updates. Anyone here faced the same problem like this? So long still haven't reach Malaysia port??? Tracked with Skynet or ABX also no news. Very worry.

Just wait for maybe one more week, sea shipment usually take around 3 weeks to 5 weeks.
