Hi /k

is there anyone here has experienced buying from Alibaba?

i wanted to know how the shipment of goods from Alibaba to Malaysia.

Most of the suppliers are from mainland China, and the pricing term is <b>FOB</b>.

So do i have to go to KLIA airport to collect the items myself or will there any posmen deliver it to my house? hmm.gif

Btw, how to make the term "FOB" bold?

so if i give them my address, they will post it to my address?

as i can see in the supplier pricing, there is a term FOB, where i google-ed it means that the suppliers only responsible for the goods till they uploaded the goods and send it to the port at Malaysia.

After the goods reached Malaysia, the goods will totally under the responsibility of the buyer.

Anyway, they usually send it to your warehouse/house. Did the seller specify which courier service is being used?

fob until port of destination, you need to find someone to do all the clerance , shipping, not all seller has lubang to reach overseas, if you wanted  to do door to door, add my wechat alfredng4, i can give you advise.

So, did Alibaba deliver the goods to ur door? What courier service is used by ur supplier?
BTW, i just checked the AlieExpress, their delivery is taking too long.....

after 4 orders, 2 from Alibaba & 2 from its daughter company AlieEpress: here it is:
Their service is reasonable, like 7/10 , perhaps better than Ebay.
One golden rule: Never show anger if delay, be patient & keep ur nurve cool, bcoz som sellers wl simply ignore scolding buyer & u get no item & no money. Personally I hope Alibaba would kill Ebay which is becoming a fraud hub recently.

Yup, it is what concern the most, the hidden cost of the shipment....
Btw, what u mean by forwarder?
How to i appoint the forwarder?

QUOTE(PrinceHamsap @ Dec 7 2015, 08:20 PM)
alibaba or aliexpress?

aliexpress can direct reach yr door

alibaba u have to appoint a forwarder to clear yr stock in custom
beware of GST and forwarder fees and potential import tax depend on item

alibaba is very complicated , i feel unsecure and scared to deal with them ,

recently got china want run production of making dog food , but the ingredient cheated by local malaysia registered company ,rm400k?

I believe tht there is a star at the left top of the items which indicates the number of years the company in business. Thus, we can know how trustworthy is the company

usually use freight forwarder ler if heavy bulky stuff (stuff that can attract customs)

if normal baju seluar ok ler, see whether the seller willing to ship internationally or not

as far as i know, in alibaba and taobao, most sellers not willing to ship international cause of the paperwork, rather ship to your forwarders address and then forwarder to you

I would like to order a bulk of toys

Actually what is forwarder? rclxub.gif

just wondering if you bought a lot of stuffs in alibaba? will they send to you in smaller quantity say 5pcs - 10pcs . as far as i know, MOQ can be a lot right?or they also supplies in smaller quantity like ali express?
yeah, some items i bought came around 2-3 weeks. the longest one about 2 months but this item already in Malaysia. the delay is in malaysia logistic. The worst part, these items can be thrown into the house by postman and if u r unlucky it rains, it may gets water if plastic broken and your packaging is in box. one time , they just left my item on the door, somebody could take it.

So, it's under the responsibility of Malaysia logistics ady.....?
Is it insured or we have to pay a premium price to make sure we are compensate in case any damage?
