normally, prohibited items can ship by sea and you'd need to get an agent to do for you

Hi guys,

I would like to share my experience of buying from Taobao using Consolidated Shipping.

I bought my items around RM700 from 5 different seller.
Tried to pay using my Debit card (the one so called Debit Mastercard / Visa), both rejected by Alipay. Then I paid through Online Banking (RevPay) using Maybank2u (addition 1.5% fees charged).

The seller shipped the items to Taobao Warehouse within 3 working days.

Then I consolidated it and paid RM80 shipping of approximately 5kg. Again using RevPay Maybank2u on 20 Jan 2018 at 2PM.

I received my items to my door step on 26 Jan 2018 2PM. I was impressed that the items received within 1 week from consolidated shipping payment date.

Shipped to my doorstep in Puchong by GDex.

One of my item is broken, but not due to GDex, its merely the irresponsible seller who did not put it properly in good box. He simply wrap it with thick paper which did not cover all the edges like a box. Shit happens, but hey, I can still buy the same item again from different seller right? Taobao rocks!

Hope this helps for those who wondering how long it takes for consolidated shipping arrive to Malaysia. Mostly it will take 2 weeks right, now they are doing good job at it and we could receive it within 1 week.

By the way, I dont know chinese. I used Google Translator entirely for all the ordering and payment. It works! Thanks to Google and Taobao.
