Use consolidate and shipping is way way better. 20 days free warehouse keeping.
(4PX)
I got all my stuff in on friday and ordered them to ship on friday. Got my stuff on monday in kl. Paid only rm25 only.

Way way cheaper than any taobao agent. Stop kidding me.

Bought rm250 slightly bulky stuff the size of 2 shop box ( size 10 above kind)

Bro, use the 4px is it cheaper than taobao direct shipping? Cause I agak agak calculate the weight of the item with the 4PX rate, looks more expensive than the taobao direct shipping.

Also when we check out the 4px delivery charges never indicate any price, so when only they will let me know the price of 4PX rate and how we pay before they ship?

Thank you for your answer  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Direct shipping i assume you meant the seller direct ship to malaysia?

Usually it will be more expensive.

The 4px option as per the website given they charge per kg. It is cheaper and definitely better if you bought more than 1 item.

Iirc first kg 25rmb. The warehouse service is very helpful


They have 4 companies for you to choose. 4px is one of them. It is cheaper and better because it is offered by taobao themselves

It is cool to see malaysia singapore is together with hk and macau for this service.

If you are in other countries you have to rely on other more expensive options Or through agent.

The courier service will only bill you when you are ready to ship everything to you.

About the 淘宝直运

Seems like specially for sg and malaysia. With fixed company selected.


在已有的“淘宝集运”服务的基础上,淘宝海外为用户推出全新的“淘宝直送”服务,为习惯使用非官方代送服务的用户提供一个可靠的物流选择。

Hey bro, I asked the sellers in taobao, seems like they dono about the 淘宝直运 and they insist they only do inland business no shipping to overseas.

So if I buy via 淘宝直运, the seller gets notify that the item to be ship out to 淘宝直运 ware house?

Thanks

Ok. Now i fully understand about 淘宝直运

1. You put everything you want to buy in your shopping cart. Select 直运(option1) They will direct put everything together and ship to you in 1 go.click and wait for it to arrive malaysia.

2. If you use 淘宝集运(option2)。you need to manage all your items. Track the delivery and wait for them to go into warehouse 1 by 1. And then you decide to ship to you.

3. Difference? The 1st option is slightly expensive. But you dont need to worry about your good delivery . Click and wait for it to arrive in malaysia. Downside? You need to buy everything in 1 go in your ahopping cart.

2nd option allows you to do your shopping in more than 1 week ( first 20 days warehouse charge free. You can buy item 1 on day 1, buy item 2 on day 5. And when both item arrives on day 10. You still have 10 days to do some shipping before you need to pay for warehouse fee for item one) option 2 cheaper.

Those 直运 And 集运are transparent to seller.

Option 1 system will provide seller an adress to ship.

Option 2 system will provide YOU an address to give to seller ( like your personal po box in china and you use that address to buy whatever you want and ship there)

I think I willl pick option 1 not so much hassle, but seems like the seller gets turn off when i say i want to ship to malaysia and straight tell me we only do china business haha.

So if i pick option 1 i gues the seller will receive order ship into tao bao warehouse? or showing my malaysia address? I am just worried that if i pick option 1 seller see malaysia address and decline my business hahaa...

Thank you for your reply u are so helpful

You see the first link i provided before this.

You just select option 1 and then pay. The seller will get the address from system and taobao will handle it.

Its all because you are not using taobao direct shipping.

Either because you love agents or you cant read chinese.

Not worth to shop during the nov 11. Just the marketing gimmick. I am running away as far as I can of this nov 11 event. Last year post nov 11 and post Dec 12, the escalation of the air shipping cost (almost updated like once per week for new price) and crowded air cargo space and overloaded of the malaysia dispatchers. At the end some shippers said please don’t use air shipment, please go to sea shipment because not enough air cargo space. The sea shipment capacity was still a lot.

I already purchased the stuffs I need and send to here via sea shipment. Just that missed out few stuffs. I am going to ship those via air shipment on this Friday. After that, I can eat pop corn to see wayang that people come to here to complain lose parcels, slow shipment, goods damage, dispatchers never come, local couriers office never pick up the phone, already paid shipping cost but after xx days warehouse still not ship out, slow customs clerance, etc. Sendiri cari pasal punya

Hi Guys, this is my first time buying from taobao. May i know currently it is still better to go through forwarder to buy, or just buy directly from taobao.
My item is not that large.

Buy directly if you can read Chinese.

It is as easy as buying from amazon.
