Wow, this is cheaper by RMB 200 from the Official Asus Tmal....

Indeed, not worth the risk for just merely RMB 100 lesser. And not to mention the delivery time might need longer~

Finger cross for my 11.11 purchase~

Just go into taobao and type RT-AC86U la, why need link one?
Yes

Nice share...

How do you find their service? Did you try their insurance services before?

Their currency exchange rate is slightly higher (0.626), whereby pay via taobao is 0.606. But pay via taobao, there is a service charge applied (CC - 3%, Online Bank Transfer - 1.5%). So end up might be not much different also.

But your forwarder do offer insurance service which is useful for those who is buying expensive items. I ask around normally insurance is charge base on 3%, and your forwarder is 5% for items above RMB 400...
Anyway, what is the most reliable local courier among Skynet, GDex, DHL, Poslaju, ABX, with speedy delivery, taking care of the parcel and minimum missing parcel?

Actually I'm not that picky on local courier provider, as long as it arrive safely. But this round, my item is costly and I have to be caution to minimize the risk. I remember I read some online before, few of our local courier provider did have the record to throw buyer's parcel into their house if there is no one there to collect it when they arrive at your place. I just couldn't recall which one...

So far if I buy from shopee, poslaju is getting better in their service recently. Nowadays they do call me when they are otw to deliver my parcel. But not sure whether they will deliver router from taobao or not as it is sensitive items...

My regular forwarder assure me that missing parcel is very very rare, and in case it really happen, there is a USD 100 insurance cover... I was like, USD 100 only? My router is going to cost over RM 1k, thats why I'm consider to have it cover by insurance...

Nowadays is norm that forwarders are providing free unpack the boxes from taobao seller, with condition that they will not be responsible if anything spoil or missing.
Anyway, how do you contact with your forwarder? By wechat, aliwangwang or? I added their wechat from the website u gave, but turns out it ask me to add another person, which has different webpage, but look quite similar with the one you recommended. Need to make sure is talking to the right person and forwarder company....

Eyeing one Gt-AC5300... Now is RMB 2699, during 11.11 will become RMB 1??6, which I guess might be RMB 1996 and hopefully lower. And I think is quite a bargain since local MY warranty selling around RM2.2 ~ 2.4k
Thanks, will look into this too~

Go with RT-AC86U using mesh configuration
Although direct cabling between the 2 routers is way better than using Mesh configuration

Just wondering will their system able to handle the traffic? Cause is my 1st time buying there during such event. A bit worry it will be like some of our local promo time, their website load like snail from booking till payment...

I added her wechat too...

If you notice, the exchange rate between the 1st website and this v-linkexpress.com, the latter one is slightly higher...

Normally how you make payment to them?

What? Never try to change the wifi password?

Current Offer at Taobao will be RMB 789
With 1st coupon from Asus show -RMB10
With coupon from Taobao, > RMB400 - RMB50

So the revised price may RMB 789 - 10 - 50 = RMB 729

Assuming the total weight for the router is 1.5kg, so the air shipment cost by using skynet will be

1) 1st KG = RMB 21
2) Balance 0.5kg = RMB 20
3) Sensitive 1st KG= RMB 30
4) Sensitive balance 0.5kg = RMB 0.5

So total air shipment cost = 21 + 20 +30 + 0.5 = 71.5

Total cost incurred will be RMB 729 + 71.5 = RMB 800.5

With exchange rate 1 RMB = RM 0.60

Total cost in RM = RM480.83.
