Hi guys, i need to buy something, some electronics components and stuffs from taobao. The thing is i know bananas about chinese and no way i can communicate with them. I heard compared to aliexpress, taobao is by far the cheapest in china. How can i go about this with the fastest affordable direct shipping plus reasonable original parts?

Hi, im still noob when comes to taobao but managed to register an account, and find some items i need and added to cart. Here comes the confusing part. I dont understand chinese so im using google chrome. Which is cheapest option for me? Using a warehouse in guangdong? Then ship all from there to my place? Can i do all this by myself or better to use a agent in lowyat? My items all less than 100 ringgit, small items anyways, electronic parts.

QUOTE(valjoux @ May 14 2020, 12:45 PM) i would suggest to use 3rd party forwarder. less headache as sometimes taobao will not ship certainelectronics. ive been using myeasy86 with no issue.cheap and good.yeslogistic also quite ok especially for sensitive item like battery QUOTE(adamw @ May 14 2020, 01:12 PM) If they allow you to buy use taobao consolidated is cheaper. If the item cannot buy then need agent. Now seems back to normal for air. (via agent) Okay so using agent not expensive as claimed by many? Cause i dont wanna pay exorbitant price for something value 50 ringgit. Just curious, how much total shipping will be if use agent to delivery to my place in kl? |

QUOTE(valjoux @ May 14 2020, 02:20 PM) from what i know right now air freight rate is still expensive(mostly cater for medical supplies) so most budget friendly forwarder choose to provide sea freight only for now. you can search for other forwarder that still provide air freight Actually i need a bit urgent. Thats why  If use air freight, if around 0.5kg how much ah |
