If this is the first time u taobao, i suggest dont bring in big item first like furniture. Sofa need to assemble yourself, like many other furniture in ikea. Furniture air freight will be very expensive & can more expensive than ur furniture price. 3rd party sea freight is good for furniture that based on cubic/ volume, market around rm400/m3
The official sea freight on taobao via lazada logistic service is based on weight, more expensive than 3rd party sea freight based on volume. Problem with sea freight is items may take a month to arrive. Some agent only allow minimal spending 1 m3, around rm400. Some agent allow small sea freight delivery around rm50/0.1m3, but no home delivery & need to collect at local warehouse or office. Agent told me sea frieght is safe bcoz items moved with forklift & keep in container compare with air freight where items thrown around on conveyor belt & rough handling by our local courier ppl throw in & out from lorry/van. But sea freight also depend on luck. I will usually ask seller or agent to put on extra wood frame to protect the package. So far my items r safe, but sometimes there r some minor scratches or cut, bringing in mirror, tempered glass shower screen, solid wood table, baby cot, chairs, cabinet...

ezbuy is only RM8.8 delivery from China to malaysia. within malaysia not sure, but should be less than RM100.

I prefer to buy direct from seller, cheaper than ezbuy. Ezbuy already mark up the original price to make the false impression delivery charge cheaper. Another reason is i usually like to talk to few sellers myself to campare the quality & customize the item i want. Sometimes seller give discount or free gift if u buy large amount.

true, so kena pandai pandai lah when shopping ezbuy prime. if check it properly then can really benefit from it. i wouldnt buy really expensive stuff though, but smallish stuff i think its really great. like i just bought two cat towers. the price via prime is RM10 more expensive per tower than buying it myself. but better to pay RM18 (membership trial) +RM10-20 (ezbuy markup) +8.8 shipping than buying direct and paying RM150-200+ for shipping the towers (item is ~30kg total).

but yea as you said, they mark up the price kaokao for big items. some things like sofas or beds, cheaper to get it here. plus any issues can also kaotim here.

so ezbuy prime shipping is really regardless of weights and dimensions ?
*
you can buy 100 sofas and they will charge you RM8.8 or whatever from China to Malaysia. as long as its in a single order. I bought 2 cat towers (~30kg or so), a cooler bag, some few nicknacks, fire blanket, and blah, and shipment was RM8.8. previously sis bought around 8x eames chairs also RM8.8 for shipping to malaysia. too bad the trial been reduced to 5 days now though. so some hiccups can be damn annoying.

but... from Malaysia port to your house there are other charges.

RM8 <15kg
RMXX 15-25kg
RMXX 25-35kg

etc and so forth. please note that its not a perfect system, there are a few hiccups from ezbuy but so far, still ok in my books.

dunno if the annual membership worth it. but i guess if you share with friends, then its cheap.

so if non bulky items can deliver to self-collection point without extra charges right ?

and i agree on the annual membership part...share with ppl can save more
*
yeah. seems they are setting up some more self collection points. but the issue with that is. not everything will be delivered at once.

for instance my current order.

4 items arrived di, not sent to me yet. apparently using ninja van.
1 item on the plane or wherever. still not marked as arrived.
2 items still in china. waiting for ship.

so if you wanna pick up gotta go at least 3 times. i think they just selamba throw on whatever ship/plane thats leaving. but if you pay the delivery fee to your house, then they will deliver when it arrives. the cost is their own problem. LOL.

It depend on the seller shipping pattern. The warehouse will not want to keep too long because it will be lost in the warehouse if it was keep too long. Lost as in misplaced, moved, stolen, damage. These things do happen everywhere.
*
yup. of course. no one want to hold things for too long as it also takes up valuable space. thats why ezybuy also just ship out whatever they have as soon as they can. so most economical is paying for delivery. just got first package from them today via ninjavan. another 2-3 otw.

couriers will be seriously bogged down and will be very slow. as will forwarders. but if no rush, then should all get sorted out in the end.

I tried it and really bad experient!!
Bought 11 items ,lost 3 items.
2 out frm 8 got defect. Scratches, broken edge.. and the items i receivef is like the product that left for so many years in the factory, some metal stuff even already rusted..
What to do?  Ask them send again thn pay another stupid shipping fees..? Or send the item back ask for refund? Both also need to spent another stupid shiping fees! At the end i js gave up.
Doesnt really help save money and put me in frustration only.
No taobao Forever! thanks!

How you bought? I've been buying stuff off taobao for at least 7+ years. Like a lot of stuff. I've never lost a single package. You cannot selamba choose whatever. Need to check reviews. Seller ratings. Etc. You buy from rubbish seller memang got issue lah. Where isn't like that.

ah. i tot is per kg price is Rm7.50  rclxub.gif confusing statement from Wiwaa.

so far i believe Ezbuy is still the cheapest out there for shipping. and also can have those free agent days and other offers from them. last time got free 1kg shipment even. used their ship for me service quite a bit. but recently more in favour of buy 4 me, cause then less stress whether they receive or not. then can just hentam them and no need care what happened so much.
