I wanted to buy something from Taobao...
This is the 1st time I wanna use the "Taobao Global Direct Shipping"...i have some queries

1) When want to place an order, the delivery option "颜色分类" asked to select location of shipment, like Guagdong, Beijing, Hunan. So for Taobao Global Direct Shipping, which location i should select? I asked the seller and has no idea about that...

2) The weight of item (only 1) is about 200kg+... The charges delivery charges only 78 yuan.. Is this too good to be true? Since the item is heavy and i have no idea how taobao came out with the pricing...

Thanks for any advise out there ...

1) If TGDS not listed in the delivery, than it's because the item you're buying is not eligible for it

2) It's better if you use agent for this (like sea shipping), because the item weight already exceed the maximum allowable limit for air shipping (max at 80kg only with dex)

When i proceed with order...there are 3 options available i.e. select TGDS, consolidate, or contact seller for shipment....in this case, i can select TGDS. Just find it weird that the shipment is so cheap? I'm puzzled...

Are you sure it's 200kg for the weight?
Because even if it arrives at the warehouse, it might still get rejected by them because it exceeds the weight limit.
