Quick Q

Have you guys buy any hp from taobao? kana tax or not when arrive in MY? need sirim chop or not?

Thanks!

Thanks, usually I get going thru customs message

Ordered some, using agent anyway since you won't be able to order it directly.
They'll handle everything for you and no need to worry about tax/sirim.

Thanks! any good agent you can recommend? thanks again!

Charge by dimension because ur stuff 3:1?

newbie question here. help appreciated

let's say i'm buying a computer case, i know the package weight and dimension

a) If i choose for consolidated cargo, how do i estimate roughly the cost is? is the price below is what it is?or i have to calculate the weight price by myself?
b) will the forwarder clear all the customs? can i assume that most of the time items will be delivered without customs issues (assuming no dangerous goods)

I am planning to get 200 pieces of soaps as gifts from taobao, so the total weight is around 7kg++. For this kind of weight, official global shipping will be cheaper or should I go for service such as prouter? Thanks

1) Need to account for volumetric weight also which might incur extra shipping charges. Unless it's small like mini atx case for example and within dimension limits by consolidate service

2) Yes

Depends which one quote for lower shipping fees.
7kg ~ 143 yuan estimated with prouter, compare it with tgds

Ok, got it, so just estimation, as prouter we can only estimate right? As the exact figure will only be found out once it reached the warehouse, while tgds we can get the quotation right away? Thanks

Yes indeed.

I see that you use yeslogistic? Have you tried ezbuy? Ive been using their service but if yeslogistic is better, i wouldnt hesitate to try.

Not yet, care to share your feedback on ezbuy? In terms of delivery/fees
The way I see it is that if you wanna buy small items or anything within dimension size allowed by consolidate. Then go for yeslogistic since you're bound to get in a week or less.

With ezbuy, that optional prime membership definitely saves you a lot when buying big items like tv/furniture.
