Best_ctzn Clutched August 18, 2011 Share August 18, 2011 This is a local site that offers to buy things from China like taobao among others. It caught my attention because taobao has alot to offers at very cheap price but not know of means to do it as normally the site require a china "local" address and payment also a hassle. Then my colleague recommended this to me. Basically you just need to send the picture of desired items from vendor websites to them, atm the money (local accounts), then make second payment on shipment charges when the items are delivered. Easy right? He used the service a few times and is quite happy with it. Now, anybody has used it before? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can teach how to pay the sellers on Taobao online since you said it is cheaper? Also, shipment ia by volumetric weight? Possible to enquire the seller to check the packaging dimension? Scared a big carton box is used for a small item, thereby having to pay more for transport than the goods itself. And will they do consolidating of items from same seller into a single package for shipment to save shipment costs? And what is GS btw? Many TIA for helping.

Lol Dun worry about seller intending to cheat by having a big box for small items. Seller n shipper are usually 2 different entities You should be worried your agent anyhow charge u instead Volumetric or actual weight taken is dependent of parcel, which ever is higher. Depending on what u buy, it may or may not be consolidated... The thing is it has to be able to packed together Shipment also have 2 types depending what u buy... Not everything can go by normal air route It is possible for cost of shipping to be more ex than cost of items due to the simple fact that the items are cheap No we can't estimate the cost of shipping till all items are packed by our shipper I am advising u as a fellow forumer thus will not provide my website to you lest I be accused of advertising.
