Hi guys, I have a URGENT enquiry (plan to place order b4 1212 promo end midnight).

For first-time I considering placing order under Taobao Consolidation, previously I was using Direct, but the quotation seem quite high CNY220 for (9 cloths, 2 shoes, 3 pants, 2 cap), none is heavy object.

So my question is if lastly Consolidation quotation is higher, am I allow to switch back to Direct?

consolidation means when the items arrived at the warehouse and they weigh them. based on weight they will quote you the shipping fee and you have to pay before they can proceed to deliver.
i doubt you can change the delivery method because tgds and consolidation are different warehouses if not mistaken...

i certainly know my consolidate price might cheaper, just worry for 2 pair of shoes which pack in boxes, where they will count on count differently for shoe box size cry.gif

Which consolidate service you're using? Probably not expensive as you might think, if you're using dex
You can expect using around 0.65 to +1kg
Or just ask the seller the weight for parcel

finally I choose using agent instead, since they can help repack and slightly (very little, at least) cheaper on shipping fees

What is the differences between this service and we ask the seller to directly sent to us?
Thanks.

I'm not a frequent shopper at Taobao. But from my experience tell buying directly from Taobao are expected for higher shipping (either consolidate or direct shipping) if you bought more items. From agent shipping fee are relatively lower , but the currency might be mark-up a bit (it doesn't matter for me).
