QUOTE(HokkienMee_Lover @ Dec 1 2023, 09:49 AM) hi i would like to buy some clothes from taobao, weight prolly >10kg, i have found a freight forwarder from china to malaysia, which is probably rm14/kg, is taobao direct shipping cheaper and safer in as compared to non-taobao freight forwarder? i will be using air freight it depends who is the non taobao freight forwarder, for me i have been using gohappytt service for 8 years; for personal and company purchase. so far so good. All his price is listed properly in excel for you to view (like a quotation) before you place order with him. i wont say he is the cheapest, but the reason i support him because of his service, its really good; besides place order, communication with seller, any mishap from seller, he will inform you, do the cancellation and refund for you. All i can say he is a trustworthy seller. This post has been edited by cycheah: Dec 1 2023, 10:01 AM

QUOTE(HokkienMee_Lover @ Dec 1 2023, 03:53 PM) u buy and pay ur own item on taobao urself and ship it through his service or u just let him know what u want aand he will buy and ship for u? this. you provide the title, link, which option and qty, he give you a quotation and estimate weight. After make payment and provide shipping details, then he will proceed. If weight is lesser, he will refund when send out from china, if more then just top up to him to proceed the shipping. he will earn 10% of your total purchase amount (example your purchase is Rm100 after convert to RM, 10% would be RM10, total RM110 + shipping charges), which i feel its fair enough for his effort. item above 10kgs or bulky items he would recommend sea freight. but still it's better communicate with him to confirm.

QUOTE(HokkienMee_Lover @ Dec 1 2023, 10:58 PM) thx for the info, i now face the problem on the payment of rmb, which is troublesome for non-mainlander does having a china bank account made locally help with this issue of rmb payment? not really... you can consider western union for fund transfer at their rate. or you can consider open an account with Alipay. i heard tng can top up alipay but i never try before myself. lazy people like to would just use 3rd party to settle everything for me
