hello brothers, can i ask how did you all pay the cainiao shipping fee?
my recent purchase was all consolidated by cainiao, instead of the seller sending them out to me directly
but the alipay website does not seem to accept overseas issued credit card...

thank you for your help

go download Cainiao app link it to taobao account, i did it from there. You can pay on using the taobao website also. Not that hard.

Ask you experts here , the direct sea ship (no consolidate) is no need to fill in any document externally right ?
Only difference is sea ship slower , around how many weeks ?

My previous experience playing with the official consolidate air ship was 6 to 10 years ago

Nope. Personal experience sea faster than Air. Unless your air is cheap few items, can reach within 1 week.

hello , thank you for your replies.
yes , i did the 合并转运 on TB website, then it directed me to the alipay website to ask me to input back card number... which is the problem, the website keep ssaying the card cannot be used
when i scanned the QR code using alipay app, all the SG CC were greyed out and cannot be used because its not china issued CC =/
looks like i have to refund everything... sianz

i never had this issue before though....

EDIT: i tried on the app, it has the option of "international CC" and it works using my card thats already inside TB
thank you thank you for the help provided

but its weird the app works, not the website

Ask you experts
I've read some of the posts dating back to august 2023

it's compulsory to use their payment conversion and unavoidable transaction fee ? no way to save via youtrip ?
above post mentioned consolidate need to pay via alipay ...... i haven't use alipay before on this account , any issue if my next order I use official consolidate air/sea ?

i tried the shopback app and it's pathetic 1% only aliexpress is 2.5% cashback
but I switch to taobao because aliexpress shipping too high ... item cost is roughly the same between TB and Aliexp

***update
I just did a simple search calculation on google
their cny-sgd rate seems fair or same as google .... no lugi right ? only the 3% transaction fee ....... initially I thought they earn 2 times
didn't get to enjoy the "first SGD transaction" benefit .... maybe because I didn't select Save Card

Taobao direct shipping orders may split into multiple packages. First time I encountered was this week. My sis only has 3 items and they shipped 2 packages, delivered on 2 different days. Then I checked my friend’s order that is on the way, which is similarly split into 2 packages. Now my 12-12 order looks set to have multiple tracking numbers too.

Mine they ever split due to free shipping and paid direct shipping items, even though same order.

Maybe yours also split due to size limit?

Yes, my sis’s order had one item that was more than 10 kg. They delivered this with 1 of 2 other food items she ordered. For my 12-12 order, bulky items included a table lamp and 2 drainage snakes. It is safer to separate these 2, so 2 tracking numbers are better for me after all.

My friend’s package has a small packet of chains separated from the rest. He bought this chain with clips to go round the neck so that he can hang something like a bib when feeding his mum. This small chain was delivered to the warehouse last on the 6 Dec. The first item arrived on the 1 Dec. Maybe it was due to that initial deadline for shipping out after first item arrived. Last time, my experience with this first deadline was not strictly adhered to, hence I may have missed it.

I was caught off guard by the multiple packages. Normally try to inform my sis or friend when their packages are scheduled for delivery. This time, my sis’ first package was delivered and I was totally clueless.

Update: To further add to the excitement, my 12-12 order has one tracking number CNSGZ and the other CNSGS.

 

[bladez87]

eh...need some help. my free shipping order got rejected by cainiao warehouse.
how to find out what happened? thanks

edit, turns out how cainiao warehouse reject, but the domestic courier wanted to charge 100 RMB for warehousing? then seller recall item since they dont want pay the 100 RMB. also not very clear why the domestic courier need to charge warehousing fee...
