okay my item arrived today, heres review about the whole ordeal & shipping but not the item.

first time wanna try buy direct from taobao, buy cheap 1:1 branded hoodie. use Lazada Sea Shipping.

Pay MYR 42.22 for item
Pay MYR 5.78 for shipping

seller use zhotong can track without problem. later arrived at the warehouse cannot track anymore other than taobao dedicated tracking page. i know sea shipping cant be track but once it arrived tracking should be available right?.

they give me waybill number with "MY" code followed by 11 numbers but i dont know where to use it. lel tracker give 0 result. 4px also same. all malaysian shipping tracking give error.

so i just wait and pray. since this is a try and error i already had my mind ready if my item is lost. tho that the last thing i expect because from tracking result in taobao page everything seems fine.
i didnt install taobao app since i cant use it at all, cant read chinese.

buying wise its really easy 9/10. but shipping is different maybe since im using sea shipping. they dont tell me where to use the tracking and if something wrong i dont know what to do. next im gonna try air shipping.

u can see item arrived exactly one month from the time the seller shipped my item.

It means the courier is delivering your parcel to warehouse.

After the warehouse signed your parcel, still need sometimes for the warehouse to register your parcel in the system, just wait.

Did Taobao change their shipping system? I just bought an item 2 days ago without problem. Today when I am purchasing a new item - the shipping setup has totally changed.

It now has:
- official direct mail
- official container transport - air transport
- official consolidation - shipping.

Can anyone elaborate? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Worked it out.

Also I think price also change. From my experience Official Direct used to be 10yuan++ more expensive than Official Consolidation shipping. but now its just less than 2yuan price different. It also state im gonna get shipping cost in15-20 days, thats such long time.

Hi there! Did you bought any electric any stuff? Because on of my item contain electronic item. I also thought the same as you as I thought the shipping fee is cheaper. I proceed to check out and only realized it today that it was shipped by sea not air.

I order 3 items, 2 from the same seller. So 2 item arrived at warehouse. I already paid for the shipping and now the 3rd item arrived but theres no option to pay.

I got the sms from taobao and the logistic detail stated "Your parcel has been stored in the warehouse, you need to merge the parcel and pay for the freight" but I already did. So now I cant find the option to pay, only confirmed receipt. How to pay for this left out item?.

Is it normal for the 30 days warehouse countdown to start even before item arrived at warehouse. I dont pay attention before but iirc countdown only start after item was registered in warehouse.

Taobao nowadays their local shipping is pretty slow and sometimes suffer delay. Back then so quick. Btw like the guy above said, you still should check local pricing because sometimes things are cheaper on LZD and Shoppee.

Hi guys..i would like to clarify about taobao direct shipping. Why is there an option for me to choose taobao direct shipping but the seller say otherwise? Say they dont ship to malaysia.
*
Yeah I think some sellers just opted not to sell to Malaysian. I got this on some sellers. Straight up greyed out button saying "this product not available for sale in Malaysia". Not even sensitive item.
