Depends on the method you choose
If you choose 直邮 (Direct Mail Air Freight or Ship Freight) then no you don't have to do anything
If you choose 集运 (Consolidation Mail Air Freight or Ship Freight) then yes you may have to liaise with the warehouse

A word of cautionary, some items cannot use direct mail at all

Where is this option selected? I'm using English taobao but I don't recall seeing that

Many of us who've been using Taobao for a while skip the English interface, as it can sometimes be more confusing than the Chinese version. I don’t read Chinese either, but over time, I got the hang of it and now know where to tap and navigate.

Here’s a tip: take screenshots at each step and use the Google Translate app to translate them. After a while, you'll become familiar with the app, and the English interface won’t even be necessary.

Also, the Chinese version offers more features, coupons, and other perks that aren't available in the English version.

As for your question, please refer to the screenshot below for the location of the shipping method I mentioned earlier.
