I can only get the 2nd option as per the screenshot below
Anyone has any experience with the 2nd option?
How does it work? How do we pay the warehouse?

QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Jun 13 2019, 01:15 PM) 2nd option means you pay for the item price first Thank you for answering bro, 1 more questionwhen the item reaches the warehouse, taobao will prompt you to make 2nd payment for shipping to msia What happened if I want to cancel the purchase once it reaches the warehouse? Can I get my money back or am I forced to pay for the shipping to Malaysia anyway? |

QUOTE(vernon91 @ Jun 14 2019, 06:45 PM) Generally, yes. Noted, will keep this in mind for future purchases For directly shipping u need to pay minimum of RMB17.5 for each item depending on the actual weight for air consolidate shipping, first KG RMB26.0 and then RMB11.0 for sub-sequence 500g |

Anyone knows how long will it take for Alipay to refund our money to the credit card?
1 of my purchase was rejected by the warehouse because of the size It's only 4x1 Meter PETG tube Another purchase I requested for refund myself because the seller is rude when talking in chat and refused to ship my item Submitted refund request since Saturday but the status still unchanged (seller already approved the refund request though) |

Everyone should avoid buying from Taobao for now. Both through sea & air. Hold of your purchase until 1st July
Not taobao's fault, it's our local courier's fault. GDex, Skynet & ABX is having a huge parcel overload My direct shipment has been cleared from customs since 14 May but there is still no record in GDex tracking This also applies to Shopee local purchases as well, avoid J&T at all costs Only DHL Ecommerce is reliable for now. They used to have issues during the the first 3 weeks of MCO but after that they managed to resolve their issues already & all of my EHL Ecommerce parcel was delivered within 2 - 3 working days For J&T, my parcel was shipped from Kepong on 4 May, but they only managed to deliver my parcel yesterday (21 May) For DHL Ecommerce, my parcel was shipped from Penang on 18 May then it was delivered to me on 20 May |

QUOTE(culain99 @ May 22 2020, 10:30 AM) Too late for me. 3x shopee parcel out of china from 15th no update, 2x lazada global from china also no update, 1x taobao 3rd party shipper suppose to ship out yesterday dunno how... Yep, I made that mistake as well, didn't think things through, should've waited until the MCO is overShopee China parcel shouldn't have any issue, all my overseas shipping through Shopee always arrive within 7 - 10 working days Not sure about Lazada as I haven't bought anything from Lazada since a year ago because Lazada prices is always higher than Shopee & nowadays it's very hard to get free shipping in Lazada |

Funny part is the item already at KL 16th takes 5 days to arrive KL > KL I did say DHL also had some issues previously during the first 3 weeks of MCO But now they are good again, only takes 2 - 3 working days for delivery |

QUOTE(wongyuhao @ May 22 2020, 06:54 PM) Saw GDEX posted this on their FB page, want to cover their own asses? Not entirely trueI've been to several courier companies warehouse because the company that I work for provide fleet tracking services for them, they are definitely having parcel overload & not enough drivers to go around Several courier companies tried to hire more drivers but the government rule said for anyone to carry lots of parcel in their vehicles, they need to have both GDL license & a company registered van Those freelance / part time drivers can only carry a limited number parcels at a time QUOTE(ShadowFiendZXC @ May 22 2020, 10:02 PM) even june still congested? Probably |

1 of my 3 parcel from Taobao finally appeared in GDex tracking, now waiting for the other 2 parcels
Funny thing is, all 3 of them cleared Customs on the same day It"s okay, I believe the other 2 should appear in the next 1 - 4 working days |

In the past, whenever I buy anything above RM1K (not 1000 Yuan), I was able to get Taobao to use DHL Ecommerce instead of GDex. Although that was 2 years ago
Nowadays, even for something that costs above RM2K, I'm still getting GDex Anyone still able to get Taobao to ship through DHL Ecommerce? |
