Thanks for your reply!

Looks like it’s quite normal for packaging didn’t get pick up by any courier service for long period.

I have been checking multiple courier site daily but no luck as well.

Mine is approaching 10 days mark now since custom clearance. Hopefully tomorrow would have some update, don’t mind to pick it up myself.
*
same same i don't mind to self pickup.

does anyone have any ideas on how to do that ?

Just received my Taobao sea shipping. In total only 13 days! I saw a few guys here that had their sea shipping departed the port earlier than mine, but mine moved a lot faster (read below on why).

The details of my shipping. It's a large 60 kg (said so by seller but it seems to be a lot heavier) custom welded metal table that fits just below the 0.5 cbm limit. So, I paid only RMB355 for shipping.

I didn't pay any taxes on Taobao product checkout or consolidation checkout. Courier that sent the package locally is not the regular ABX, GDEX, Skynet but this:

The courier guy came alone without any trolley to carry down. We carried the load together. Nice guy compared to the regular brand.

So, I think if your item is huge, it gets delivered by these smaller logistic company. When I saw the tracking status getting cleared custom so fast and picked up so fast, I knew it wouldn't be ABX!
Definitely recommend Taobao sea shipping for big items but not so for small items.

Edit: before the courier guy left, he said "ABX memang slow and banyak orang komplain".  biggrin.gif

mine still stuck at "arrival scan"
1 package is large over 35kgs & the other package is also large package too.

how did you choose local courier company ?

I don't think you can choose. Probably the dimension dictates which courier picks them up. I notice Skynet only takes the smaller ones while ABX takes the heavier ones.
This is the first time it went into the non-mainstream courier.

Gg d like this. Still waiting till now 12th June arrival scan.

*** thx for yr share on the courier details ***
YES i called them both my packages are with them !
1 is 41kg the other is 92kg they said it's at subang ware hse & will make arrangements to deliver or i can go self collect. will see how it goes.
