Hi, have anyone been using dex-abx courier service from taobao?
My parcel was sent to Malaysia on friday (27 oct) night, then got no update until tuesday (31 oct) saying that "your shipment is partially uplifted". Up till now no new updates😰😰
Anyone had the same problem before?

hi guys
want to ask for opinion from sifus. I'm going to buy something that is a bit bulky in size but not so heavy (2kg only). Which forwarder company should i choose? TGDS not available for my items, so its either DEX, ZTO, 4PX or Lazada?
Thank you in advance wink.gif

Ok thank you sir

But, do you know any forwarder service that dont use volumetric weight? Once shipped my item using ZTO, the actual weight was 3kg but I was charged 9.5kg because of the volumetric weight of my items😥

Just started using it today, the shop that used to work with taobao consolidate not supported anymore
We'll see how it goes

I'm probably gonna use it more since the sensitive shipping fee is quite reasonable

ok im still new in buying from Taobao but recently i hv made 2 purchase via DEX-i ,using both their air & sea freight and this is what i can tell:

DEX-i sea freight: send out from China on 25/12/17. arrived at Malaysia on 8/1/18. cleared custom on 17/1/17(yes 9 days!). received on 18/1/18.
                          local courier: Skynet

DEX-i air freight: send out from China on 6/1/17. arrived at Malaysia on 7/1/18. cleared custom on 10/1/17. stupid ABX delayed and keep at their warehouse till  i self picked up on 12/1/18.
                          local courier: ABX bodo

added:u can only check who is your local courier at dex-i website after your item pass custom inspection

Set your address on your taobao account. Then just choose LAZADA SEA shipping.

Will there be any extra charge for sea shipping? Any tax will be charge for the items?

I think the Official Taobao forwarder refused to Forward the particular item, due to the seller disable overseas shipping option, or it could be sensitive item, it occurs to me once, and i uses third party shipping agent, like ezbuy to shipped for me, but i didn't use it for quite some time already, don't know whether still good or not.

Hi bro, i'm thinking of using sea shipping from China also but im afraid if I need to pay any extra money for tax/duty when my item arrive here.

Did u pay any extra money for your item? (Other then for the item itself + sea shipping fee from China). And what did u buy? Plus how much is the purchase?

Sorry for asking to much🙏🙏 thank you in advance

If using sea shipping, 6% GST would be imposed on the item you've purchased, and the tax amount is based on the value of your item before adding the shipping fees , it would be collected during consolidation payment,  i bought about 7.5 kilos of rack & pot actually for 100++, one of them is redeemed by point's, both of them not sensitive item so it less likely to get into trouble passing through custom.

Oh, I see. Thank you bro😍😍
