Been using 65daigou but have to warn everyone not to use them!

Lost my packages more than 5 times and they tell me such incidents are very rare! I shipped via air btw.

They compensated me the full amount and i thought ok, nvm.. But i got really pissed off when i realized one of the sellers emailed me asking if im happy with my free gift and discounted price.

The 65daigou DID NOT include any free gift and most importantly, charged me the original price! The discounted price was not reflected in the bill.

Had to call them and keep acting blur, and after that then say will check with Shanghai office etc.. And after few days then refunded the credits into my account. If I did not expose them, they sure keep quiet!

I find them really dishonest especially on not disclosing about the discounts from seller.

Will not be using them again!

6spree also. They didn't bother to remove the cardboard boxes. I bought 4 items and the guy shipped the 4 boxes to me >.< Like that the volumetric weight sure increase what. Although is only extra $4, but dishonest. In addition, he told me shipping is 1 kg = $2.55 but end up postage is $1.50 nia.

But how taobao seller know your email address ?

just buy the products on your own. Taobao accepts overseas Visa and Mastercard now.
I just realized that Taobao has a leveling system (somewhat like a RPG). The more you purchase the higher your level, the more discount you are entitled to.

Taobao how to ship here? Select 海外 ijjit ???
Actually, there are companies that does shipping only. You just buy the goods and have it sent to their warehouse in China. Then they will ship it back for you.

I'm using Ai Bidding . com now. So far, not bad.

Finally achieved level V1 in Taobao already! More discounts!!!

Anyone has shipped in huge item from taobao before?

I am eyeing office executive table. Estimated total cost from taobao still cheaper by half than local pricing.

I have been using 65daigou for a long time and it hasn't disappoint me at all. Express Air shipment is really fast, provided the taobao seller sends to the 65daigou warehouse in time. Once 65daigou has got it, express air shipment takes no more than 3 days to reach SG. Superb service.

huge items best to use sea freight. book a container or look for a sea shipping agent with containers.

pros
ship large items
slightly cheaper than air

cons
slow
taxable

Can any1 verify if the BoC locally issue credit card can be used to register Alipay or not?

confirm cannot.

Alipay only accepts domestic mainland credit cards. Cards/accounts issued by foreign branches not eligible to link to alipay.

But you can use international cards to pay for purchases. Just that there is a 3% service charge.

A bit different from your mirror, I've bought a glass lamp before. Come intact! (thankfully)

You can check out their website: www . aibidding . com

No handling fees but like what bro chanzhf said, you have to use either visa/mastercard and incur 3% surcharge.

Please be reminded to play safe and go through middle man/agent whom you trust because there is a possibility that he/she may run away with your money without buying anything on your behalf after you have pre-paid them or run away with your goods which you have paid for but delivered to them for shipping subsequently to Singapore.

Even though Taobao has started to accept overseas credit cards, most sellers still don't accept this mode of payment. So payment directly to the seller remains a big problem for most cases.

Most sellers still do not ship outside China.

If you are buying more than 1 item, total shipping costs is usually cheaper if you use an agent to buy and ship all your purchases locally within China and to consolidate them into 1 smaller combined package for sending to Singapore.
