First time saw TGDS since this time i selected "MY" on the top left corner. I have always used consolidate shipping coz never saw this option before

It (5kg) item was shipped for a mere 26RMB!

you already received your 5kg parcel ?

Not really. Placed order on taobao on Saturday it was received by the warehouse on Sunday... Monday it said it was shipped out of the warehouse already. Today (latest) tracking says flight delayed.. Let's see whistling.gif

If you can still buy it with tgds then better get more of it before they remove it from tgds
I bought 100m/300m LAN cables with only 32rmb shipping fee (old rate) before.
When I wanna buy the same thing again, no TGDS anymore for the same item

What's the link of the item mind sharing? Want to try rclxms.gif

Did you change the region from worldwide/China to Malaysia? If you don't change only consolidate option will be available

The same item i tried with CN region - only consolidate option available

With MY region - TGDS available

Very rarely something has TGDS option actually. Maybe its the item that i wanted. Usually electronics

One second it was available for TGDS, next moment it isn't. The option "consolidate shipping" isn't even available now. The only option is "contact seller" rclxub.gif

Hi experts I require some help here. I have two packages, both sent at the same time but split to avoid it going over RM500. They were sent by Dex Sea Shipping. Has the packages been handed over to the local shipping company? No updates since 3 days ago
*
Actually for parcels shipped from China you don't need to avoid going over RM500. I know for parcels from US it is strictly below RM500 or taxed but I have not encountered any of this problem for air shipments from China, but maybe that's just me and the provider which I used, slightly more expensive than official taobao one.

Meanwhile for sea shipment from China it's usually 6% GST impose however some freight forwarder don't collect it

guys, how to track the real status? The aliwangwang chat is not working for me  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

24/04/18 has just reached custom. It should now undergo custom clearance process. Sea shipment clearance will take some time unlike air shipment.

If you wanna make sure then you gotta contact the provider below there, they may have a new tracking number already

24/04 should be the estimated date since it's already like that for about 2 weeks already...

How long does it take for custom clearance for normal item like clothes etc?

Will they update the new tracking number for local courier company in this page?
*
According to the mandarin tracking above it says 24/04 is the actual date of the parcel reaching the port here

In my case right now I've got parcels stuck at port klang custom for about a week or more now

Guys, why do I can't select official Consolidation or official Direct shipment now?

All I see is select address and complete order (payment). I do not see the breakdown anymore

Also, how is it quality of Best Express?

The service fee - 1.5% on online banking, is mandatory right? Or there is a way to avoid paying for that

Actually, I am new to taobao and first time I make transaction weeks ago.
I made payment thru Lazwallet and seem did not get charge service fee.
Maybe u can try payment thru Lazwallet?

When I made first payment through e-banking first time it was waived too. I'll try with Lazada wallet whether second order onwards got free waiver

Open Alipay RMB account. Last time got many forummers offering this service but lately never checked.

Alipay RMB you mean topup RMB inside alipay? I got balance RMB inside Alipay.. Lately I realised the rip off rate charged by the reloader. Through bank rate/revpay rate more attractive.. but that 1.5% hmmm makes it almost the same with top up RMB balance
