Hi, i am new to Taobao and recently made an order under the consolidated shipping option. The item has arrived at the warehouse and I receive notification that I need to make further payment for shipment to Malaysia. I just found this out

Can I make a new order under this consolidated shipping option so that it arrives at the same warehouse and shipped together with the first order? How do they know which warehouse to consolidate the orders together? Is there any time limit to make payment and wait for all other orders to arrive?

Thank you

p/s I used google translator so it involves some guessing on my part

Not me, but my gf uses taobao. Ya, it will be shipped to a warehouse then from theny you'll need to make payment to ship to msia. Iinm there is a time limit once it reaches the warehouse, but ya, you can cosolidate your purchases. saw her and her fam buying stuff and shipping it together. oh ya, she and her fam share the same account.

I suppose the orders can be made separately right?

Orders can be made separately, but be mindful of your shipping method (Direct sea or air ship 直邮) / (Consolidate sea or air 集运), choose the same shipping method as previous orders. 

If not mistaken, there are only 2 warehouses, one for sea ship and one for air ship only. If you choose consolidate sea ship for all orders, everything will arrive at the same warehouse.

Okay thank you.

bad experiance with consolidated shipping, the seller pack the item extra huge, then the consodilate shipping refuse to ship , said too large for air shipment, then request via sea, then quote the price higher than air shipment cos (that time air shipment got promotion), then return package back to seller (cos too expensive to ship) end up, return package missing. then again, take time to claim, claim back money become coins, can not cash out (due to no have alipay), but can use for next purchase

depends on what you bought.

i bought a cabinet opting for repackaging, instead, the repackaging made it worse. in the end, i received the cabinet with dent everywhere.

Where or how to collect shipping voucher and platform voucher? Is there such thing like Lazada and Shopee?

Sometimes there is from the main page, you can collect coins like Shoppe or Lazada, You should download ShopBack too and activate the ShopBack before purchase, but not every item can get a rebate. 

You can also get it from this page: https://www.facebook.com/share/15M5MNL3yz/ but they run out pretty fast as they are limited, so I never bothered, usually I only buy when the promo like every 300RMB purchased - 30RMB, the last 11.11 discount even more, every 300RMB - 50RMB.

Thanks man

i use to use taobao consolidated shipping. but thewn they charge sst. So i stopped, while boxku doesnt charge sst, so i rather use boxku, less headache and cheaper

Warehouse kan got 30 days minima storage ?

Oh so it’s 30 days. Keep getting notification to make payment so thought it is urgent

if thru fowarder get 30 days

boxku charge RM 38 for 7kg is it legit ?

How to check whether an order is placed under consolidated or direct shipment?

I paid Yuan 48 for overseas shipping but the seller just msg saying I need to oay for overseas shipping and I need to contact warehouse to arrange for shipment myself. Isn’t it automatical for direct shipment? Pretty sure I used direct shipping for this order.

boxku is legit, been using for few years now

i just borak with boxku. they cant ship battery

Is that sea shipping?

Use other one like yeslogistics sensitive shipping
