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 choose right? Or is there more economical yet takes just similar amount of time for the item to reach here? Thanks!! This post has been edited by UnknownH: Jul 27 2017, 05:03 PM |

QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Jul 27 2017, 04:56 PM) how did you get the TGDS option to appear ? did you set the region to malaysia or something...? I think so. That's world.taobao.com and I set it to Malaysia. So far if the TGDS option didn't appear, I just opened new tab, world.taobao.com and went to shopping cart from there. So far it worked. Oh and after I register my account on there, I set up my address right away. |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jul 27 2017, 05:04 PM) TGDS works by estimation Sometimes you can buy item with >4 kg for 28 yuan Depending on the item type/quantity Means I could be charged higher if I opted for Global Consolidate(if they really weight my items and they exceed 1kg)? What about the third option? The Contact Seller(just google translate here  ). Will it be better? What would the seller probably decide/recommend me? And how long normally the sea freight option(Lazada) will take for the parcels to reach to my doorstep? This post has been edited by UnknownH: Jul 27 2017, 05:14 PM |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jul 28 2017, 10:47 AM) Yeah Normally that's for items that taobao consolidate can't send to to msia, That's when you need to provide warehouse in China ( like prouter or yeslogistics) to seller. Once arrived, you just need to deal with the taobao agent to ship them home. Never tried sea freight May I ask contact the seller.and ask for my item to be shipped via China Post(Ordinary Small packet Plus/Registered Mail/epacket)? Just like AliExpress shipping method. Means seller directly ship to me instead of the items go through the warehouse(forwarder) first. This post has been edited by UnknownH: Jul 29 2017, 10:13 AM |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Oct 26 2017, 06:14 PM) Electronics/liquids usually classified as sensitive items but you can still buy and get it shipped here. But if your item don't go pass checking out then it be might sensitive ones. I'm looking for a power tool. With or without battery, undecided yet. If I couldn't check it out, what are my options? Thank you. |

QUOTE(vernon91 @ May 15 2018, 09:18 PM) app only CC/ debit card, if u want to use online banking, use web browser as i said earlier , check it on skynet , if u can track means it reached malaysia taobao still rely on alipay to make payment, we are paying to alipay thru a 3rd party company in Malaysia revPay Just to be sure, cc/debit would cost 3.0% service charge while for online banking would be 1.5%, yes? |

QUOTE(culain99 @ Jul 5 2018, 01:36 PM) Anyone use sea ship option taobao can comment, want buy small item but only can choose sea ship maybe due to battery. Item very cheap not worth to pay sensitive charge thru agent (cost more than item) QUOTE(X3RXUS @ Jul 5 2018, 02:03 PM) I'm using sea shipping for the first time. I'm buying a small outdoor camera that I want to use as CCTV. Even though the box that contain the camera is not big, they calculate it in volumetric which costs more than air shipping. If you have no problem with the cost of shipping, then you can have a try. If you're not urgent, I don't see the problem. Forwarder will charge you whichever(volumetric or weight) that will cost more. |

QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Nov 10 2018, 02:28 AM) just a heads up guys, Air shipping does not charge any tax ( previously i bought using air shipping). Recently I tried sea shipping and was charged with 6% tax. Chat with the lazada sea shipping and the customer service said air shipping on tax but starting september 1st malaysia will start charging 6% tax on everything that comes in to malaysia by sea. My total amount less than RM500 also kena.. How do we pay this 6% tax? Custom Malaysia will charge when the parcel arrived in Malaysia? |

QUOTE(mhhee @ Jun 24 2019, 10:28 AM) Depends on the weight or size of the items I bought. Normally I stick with barwaa. Sea shipping need 6% tax but air shipping no need in official shipper. You can still use 3rd party shipper by asking the current shipper ship out to 3rd party shipper warehouse. However, you need to bear the cost of transfer. So you have to do the calculation by urself, if item price is high but weight is low then worth consideration. Else, just pay the 6% tax & be smart next time before select the right shipper. What is this 6% tax? Does it apply to all sea shipping?Realised I've asked the same thing last year. This post has been edited by UnknownH: Jun 25 2019, 06:08 PM |
