QUOTE(UnknownH @ Jul 27 2017, 04:43 PM) Hey guys. I'm interested to know more on the shipping on Taobao. It's my first experience on Taobao(everyone is talking about it so I thought I'd give it a trial). 24th July, I bought a sunglasses and a pair of shoes and opted for Taobao Global Direct Shipping(TGDS). Just a while ago, the items are being dispatched from the warehouse for global shipping » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thing is, I was thinking for most economical sense(and fast delivery time) back then. TGDS(RMB 28) vs Global Consolidate and Shipping(which could cost me higher if the item exceed 1kg) vs Contact seller(???). Did I chose right? Or is there more economical yet takes just similar amount of time for the item to reach here? Thanks!! how did you get the TGDS option to appear ? did you set the region to malaysia or something...?

QUOTE(longpants @ Aug 15 2017, 11:24 PM) Sorry I used TGDS 淘宝直送 Taobao Global Direct Shipping , that means I didn't select the provider at that time. Shipment fees is automatically calculated if i choose that option. Now I realize that you can only choose Consolidated shipping 淘宝集运 Global Consolidate and Shipping when you checkout. And depends on the link you click, you can still sometimes choose TGDS. The system is getting dumb-er. But the shipping company at that time was Skynet. So far never failed me. I tried Lazada air recently but I think will still prefer Skynet if not for the cheaper shipment. Skynet's tracking seems to be more superb. The tracking number 国际配送单号 showed in taobao can always be track through skynet malaysia tracking system after clearance of Malaysia custom. Lazada Air GDEX sometimes seems to fails me with their "ODBC error". yea...i noticed some links or items can be delivered by tgds...but not sure it's system glitch or not

QUOTE(spritfire @ Sep 5 2017, 11:29 PM) Hi, just started exploring Taobao. I am looking to ship quite alot of stuff together and is thinking of shipping by sea to save costs. Is the only way to do so via third party agents/websites and not through TGCS? Any good sites to recommend going about this? Thanks in advance. ezbuy.my...go subscribe prime

QUOTE(longpants @ Sep 7 2017, 11:16 PM) Yo guys, curious to know anyone tried Lazada(海运)seafreight before? Recently bought a 27kg item using sea freight. Noticed there is a clause saying *代收消费税:马来西亚按货值收取6.00% means subject to Malaysia tax 6%. You can't find this clause if using airfreight, only sea freight has this. sigh...no sea freight option for EM

QUOTE(sailou @ Sep 19 2017, 06:43 PM) What happened to TGDS? It seems that no more direct shipping to Malaysia. Only consolidated shipping for better profit? Received a shipment today under DEX-I. Tracking available from this website https://www.aftership.com/couriers/dex-itgds option only available on some items...not all you can try and see

QUOTE(longpants @ Oct 8 2017, 11:56 PM) I don't think 6% GST is charge on item price. I tried shipping CNY798 item with volumetric weight 27kg (net weight about 22kg only). was charged 232 CNY for sea shipment (27*8+16). it is stated on the policy...you can search and read btw...how much is per kg rate to WM ? RMB8 per kg ?
