A lot has changed since Taobao shopping became popular a few years ago. I would recommend doing shipping differently than before. First up, forget about Taobao direct or consolidated shipping. It is SLOW, and relatively expensive. The air shipping could take as long as the sea shipping offered by other forwarders. Overall the shipping feels […]

Taobao parcel forwarder review – SGShop
I never expected to have to try yet another Taobao parcel forwarder after i have already gone through Taobao official shipping, ezbuy and 86of. I had to ship a piece of phone battery, which is obviously a sensitive item. Taobao official sea shipping does not allow it. Ezbuy still does not work (and probably won’t […]

Ezbuy hits another wall

Taobao parcel forwarder review – Road Bull
My latest Taobao consolidate and shipping delivery via ZTO was just completed, and this time the local delivery was handled by Road Bull. The interesting thing is, the delivery was done while I was overseas. A photo was provided as proof of delivery (featured image above). Related posts: Taobao parcel forwarder review – Ninja Van […]
