It's probably a new security login page or something, you can just request code via sms on the second option.

Has anyone tried ezbuy prime?
Got one month trial now and only rm8.80 for every checkout regardless of item weight/volume.
Sounds too good to be true (obviously the item you're buying has to be PRIME eligible)

BTW, i booked 2 items using TGDS, what happened if i asked refund for one of the two items? will taobao still send the second item to me?
Any price cut?
*
Yes, they'll refund the cancelled item
Your delivery for the second item will still be delivered as usual but might get delayed until you get the refund

I want to try buying myself, instead of using an agent like I normally do.
Are the steps listed here correct? https://sea.taobao.com/howtobuy

How do I choose to use 4px?

When paying with bank transfer, do I need to create a RevPay account?

If buying "sensitive items", such as Nike/Adidas stuff, will there be surcharge like the agents? Or 4px won't ship etc. ?

New to this, hope someone can help.
*
Dex should be sufficient, and cheaper too. Or TGDS, depending on which shipping options that saves more money

What RevPay does is that they simply redirect to bunch of online banking options for payment (cimbclicks, rhb, maybank, etc)

No surcharge from agents, if it's really considered sensitive, you probably can't even buy it on the checkout page

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?

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
*
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.

Totally nonsense.
i spend almost RMB200.

Oh wow
Either mainland shipping got sabotaged or the seller's a liar
Glad i haven't encountered any of those problems yet sweat.gif
Hopefully you'll get your refund back
What do you mean by taobao middle man? Local agent here?

4px tak boleh also lah I think, tried to buy lithium batteries by using 4px last week, ended up kena reject when it reached their warehouse. Had to refund also, so I used 65daigou instead. They have sensitive air and sea shipping for those prohibited items.
*
I haven't use 4px yet
I did before buy items like remote containing batteries (coin ones)
And they passed thru the shipping nicely with tgds
Probably depends on the size i guess?

Hi all, is it normal for item to hang on "businesses are courier companies embrace the pieces notification" for two days? I'v checked yuantong tracker but it won't recognize my waybill. Also shop was banned a day after purchasment. Maybe I need to make refund because i buyed item in a fake shop(item is a fake philipp plein shoes)?

p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm from Ukraine:)
*
With the shop already banned, it's better to just claim refund at this point
All the more reason to buy item only from reputable sellers after this

No la, after check the review this seller really chi sin one.
Next time i will check the review before purchase.

basically refund process is that you apply refund, if seller agreed, seller will refund directly.
If they refused then you can applied "public" intervention or "taobao" intervention.

public intervention = let public to judge and decide, but you need 95% vote from public (faster)
taobao intervention = taobao will investigate, 4-6 days feedback.

both above u have to submit proof, photos etc.
*
I see, so which option did you pick?
Who exactly are the public ones that you can refer to? Other taobao users?

just for clarification...

if i opt for TGDS...weight limit is 15kg and dimension limit is 120 or 130 cm correct ?
if i ordered 2 items (A and B) from different sellers, the weight/dimension limit applies on single item or the total items (e.g: A weight + B weight < 15kg; A dimension + B dimension < 120 or 130 cm) to be shipped ?

appreciate the advice...thanks
*
Have the same question too here
Anyone can clarify this?

Did you try using 3rd party agent such as ezbuy or sgshop?

BTW, i noticed some of the items on taobao doesn't offer official consolidate but after talking to the customer service rep for PRouter, they say they are still able to forward the shipment unofficially. Just need to inform them to arrange for you.
Most importantly, they are still cheaper than ezbuy or SGshop
*
Thanks for the tip
If they agreed to forward your parcel unofficially
Then how would you be able to track your items on taobao?

you need to get the tracking info from taobao seller...and start tracking from there

Ok, then how do you arrange with warehouse Dex/Prouter once your item arrived?
Do you need to contact them thru online chat or something?
