Normal best.
Online payment on desktop, with Boost and earn coins.

Promotion best.
Online payment or Credit card payment with 1.5% or 3% service charge lifted, and also credit card xxx-xxx.

Crazy best.
All Credit card payment with payment promo code that xxx-xxx at 0 AM etc, highly failed, but worth a try if the items got lot of stocks.
Just one time, seller shipping fee+warehouse shipping fee, no need to pack and pay it manually.
*
How to know when will have promotion best where the credit card fee is lifted? Always seems like got additional fee when checking out.

799 RMB, then convert to RM xxx(following the exchange rate set by REVpay or MOLPay), and +1.5% for online banking/ewallet(desktop only) or 3% for credit card.

If you don't wanna wait for 618, just go to App, switch to Malaysia area, click on the center(not the top) big banner.
Then collect the 3% discount voucher.

Wait until 6.1-6.3, then place order using APP.
Also reminder that this 3% discount only valid on APP payment only.

Or you can just pay at 6.1-6.3 on app using online banking(app only), if there is left 1.5% waiver, it will show directly RM 0.00 for service charge.

But still, recommend that you just collect the 3% credit/debit card voucher now, then place order and pay at 6.1-6.3 la. icon_rolleyes.gif
Also can try your luck and grab the red money at 10 AM/4 PM, might good luck for you. brows.gif
Also warning, the MY place order on App, if you use your credit card, once you place order, it will be charged DIRECTLY without TAC, so you might not want to save your credit card, unless you want to grab for those Crazy best Promotion which rush in time.

Keep in mind for that. icon_rolleyes.gif

Check the app now, if there is banner, yes, promotion.

Also check on the 消息-活动优惠, sometimes small promotion is hidden there, before MCO there is always 20-10 RMB red money each 3 days. icon_idea.gif

Nowaday the service charge waive voucher required you to collect and purchase On Store items, preorder items are unavailable to use those voucher, just keep in mind for that.
For Banking, no need to collect voucher, just check the service charge before payment.

-----
Nearly forgot, 6.1-6.3 got extra red money, you can just open any website that promoting Taobao items, will showing a 618 red money, just collect it, share to your friends, and collect the red money.
Unlimited helps can be provided(means you can open/help unlimited friend that sharing this 超级红包 to get extra.), each day reload 3 times for you to grab, but for helps, only once for each friends in each promotion.

Not gonna post the link as it is prohibition for me to include it.

But remind that using those red money will lost ability to get shopback via app or cashback via etao or others.

Alipay for extra 50000 x2 Miao~ coins + 1 5000 random shown up coins + 5x 1000 Mission, 1 x1000 extra mission at Tmall client, and each 3xN(3 6 9 12 15 18...) got extra 1000 Miao~ coins mission to do.

Also you can invite 3+3 same friend at Taobao/Tmall + Alipay.
And, got Auto.js script somewhere in Github, so you can do the mission without understanding the meaning, but, the script will get you shadow ban, so, better don't do that. tongue.gif

is it better to use the auto convert rate to MYR ? Can't use big pay to pay in RMB with better rates? Or maybe their conversion rate is quite good?

When you checkout, just above the total payment, you'll see how much your red is being used.
If you're using handphone, be sure to check out the black box in TMall.
You'll get a little red packet. Not much, but it can be used both for checkout and consolidate shipping payment.

Thanks ya for the reply

Anyone has good sea shipping service to suggest? Service that allows us to ship to the specific warehouse, and they will later inform.

I saw like we post is charging 28 RM for first 3 kg and 2.50 for subsequent KG which is quite cheap. Anyone tried this before?

Hi, does anyone knows for sea shipping how will the tax be like? Do we still need to pay tax or is it already calculated in the consolidated shipping?

Arrived in Malaysia on June 26, so roughly 4-5 days from landing to home.

do they wrap/box up the smaller items together in a larger box? thinking to try their sea freight
*
Nope. Black plastic wrap, maybe because my items are also not so big. I am waiting for a bigger consignment will see how it goes, that one has a larger assortment of items.

But the taobao sellers some send with boxes and some send with plastic wraps, so it's like the warehouse staff just plaster them all together with cellophane and wrap with black plastic (few layers). I won't ship too fragile items if I were you, like glass / chinaware.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jun 30 2020, 05:11 PM)
How much does it cost for consolidated see shipping for 3KG?
And how long is the whole process from the seller ship out to arrive at your doorstep?
*
3kg will be 29.99 yuan, and after additional 1 kg i think 8.99 or 9.99 yuan I forgot. They did mention 6% tax, but this time no one collects it.

Seller to warehouse.. 1-2 days I guess
Warehouse to China Port + Export clearance etc.. around 5 days
China Port to Malaysia 5 days estimated but was 6 days.
From Malaysia port to my home was 4 days surprisingly, even the tracking still stuck at Shipment inbound scanned, but I got it today

Overall was almost 3 weeks I guess for my shipment. The big gap between June 4 and June 13 is because I am waiting to buy more items before consolidating, once you consolidate and pay the shipping they will start packing and sending it to port.

Quite cheap for 3KG but then again, it's sea shipping right?
The ¥29.99 is including shipping from seller to warehouse then warehouse to you
Or just ¥29.99 from warehouse to you?

How much is the total overall for shipping?

I wonder how much it will cost for 3KG for consolidated air freight hmm.gif
*
Seller to warehouse usually free. Yup 29 covers from warehouse to Malaysia
