Hi, I'm planning to buy a bluetooth keyboard from Taobao, but I'm not sure if it's still considered a sensitive item? (It has a battery in it) Would like to know if it's possible to buy thru direct or consoidated shipping...
*
Tell the seller to take out the battery, then can ship as normal item.

The battery is integrated into the board tho, so taking it out means I have to DIY and solder it on again. I asked the CS of the product, they said to find consolidated shipping....

Oh. Get 3rd party shipper. 1kg RMB24 only.

Is Barwaa service good and reliable ? How you pay them? Thru Taobao or bank in prior to goods arrival?
*
So far so good. Their service is good, if you know Chinese can add the CS into Wechat & talk on any issue or question.

You have to reload using their assigned money changer then pay through their website or uisng Wechat wallet in RMB currency.

Thank you

Use 3rd party shipper. Ship the item to its warehouse & route back to Malaysia will do.

You just need to keyin the 3rd party shipper warehouse address will do, then can buy the item.

U got the tracking code? U can track the code using ABX tracking if possible.

Weekend normally courier won't go pickup from airport, just wait today afternoon for update. If nothing wrong u should get it by tml or day after.

Thanks for the advice. I was planning to take this route but it kinda shucks coz I already bought almost all the things I wanted from the seller. Any chance I might get direct shipping waived or lowered?
Also, here is the conversation between warehouse CS and me. Did he also meant that I should buy another item and get it shipped together with the new part?
(Please pardon my baby level of Chinese)

Warehouse CS asked to make a new order from seller. It's because if no order & tracking no then warehouse will rejected the item & return to seller.

U got 2 options now.

1. Talk to seller, ask seller make the replacement item for sell at RMB1.00 or else, then u can make the order & system can capture the tracking code. After received the item ask seller to do full refund.

2. Use 3rd party shipper, just give the seller 3rd party shipper address & ship back.

Option 2 is less hassle compared to option 1. Which I normally do.

Darrenkls's way also can considered.

Hi mhhee,
Yeah, option 2 seems more viable. You have any reliable 3rd party shipper to recommend? I have always used official shipping. No idea which 3rd party shipper is good. And btw, if they can understand a bit English would be best. My Chinese only half bucket full.

Too bad. My 3rd party shippers all China ppl. However, u can try ur luck.

Hi,
I thought the 6% tax is on the total amount of the goods? Yes? No?  Here I have 2 Taobao official sea shipping bills for comparison.

When I tried to ask them why is it calculated that way, the CS just sent me a link to return the goods. Indirectly telling me not happy don’t buy.

Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks
Should based on total amount of your item price not based on total amount that you paid.

How much is your items worth?

Sorry, don’t get it.
For the 116.23 yuan, the bill was 395.11+181.69=566.80 yuan

The 75.95 yuan, it was 182.28+128.80=311.08 yuan

How do they count the tax?
*
Tax = 6% of (Total amount of item price)

116.23 calculation is correct but 75.95 not. So your total amount of 75.95 shipping fees is 311.08 only? Tax more expensive than shipping fees. LOL.

Yeah, I know right. How do I bring this up to their attention?

You should. AFAIK the tax calculation is done automatically in the system, based on the total amount of your purchase x 6%. Therefore, I also dunno why got such mistake.

Its been a long time since i last ordered stuff from taobao.i was suprised that there r now a compulsory 6% tax of total purchase amount for sea shipping. Now sea shipping is not the cheapest option anymore
Is there any 3rd party forwarder that offers sea shipping?can help recommend some?
Do they charge 6% tax too or only taobao official sea shipping has this rule?
Is the 6% tax also applicable to offical air shipping?
*
You still can use 3rd party sea shipping which doesn't incurred 6% tax. (包税)

Official air shipping no 6% tax but there is 6% tax if you unlucky & picked by custom.

Therefore, normally I advise ppl dun use official shipper for high value item. Anything less than RM500 is safe.

Can i know how do you use the 3rd party forwarder?
I have already choose the official one which is Cainiao (Sea Freight) - then found out that got charged with 6% goods tax.
And now all my item are in a warehouse (not sure if that warehouse is belong to Cainiao or what), can i still use the 3rd party for shipping ?
as from the taobao site, when i choose 合拼订单, then it only allows me to choose 官方海运 .
*
Depends on the weight or size of the items I bought. Normally I stick with barwaa.

Sea shipping need 6% tax but air shipping no need in official shipper. You can still use 3rd party shipper by asking the current shipper ship out to 3rd party shipper warehouse. However, you need to bear the cost of transfer.

So you have to do the calculation by urself, if item price is high but weight is low then worth consideration. Else, just pay the 6% tax & be smart next time before select the right shipper.

hi sifu, need some assistance regarding shipment.
i wanted to buy a lot of wooden furniture and lighting for my business. However i would like to try one lighting by air first to see the quality before order a large sea shipment. the item is below
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1...id=582106769257

which do you recommend to use as forwarder? i stay at KL and can go any point within KV to pick up if the cost is significantly lower. i have alipay & can pay CNY to them if they want.

Many thanks

Barwaa. It calculates weight based on actual weight because your item is big size in volumetric weight.

Air.

Sea is calculated based on volumetric weight > actual weight.

Cancel the order & reorder again. The parcel will be sent back to the seller in the end.
