While we're waiting for our 1st batch of taobao purchases, I started buying batch 2. Taobao shopping is addictive. VERY VERY ADDICTIVE. I wanted to only buy 1 or 2 items coupled with the bone china set someone from the fb taobao group recommended... I ended up adding some items.. and quickly checked out my cart!
Well.... peeka is generous.. it allows me to add items to my cart up to a certain limit. So, today, I added even more items! Here are my items for the second batch.. and I'm really hoping I don't add anymore.. I've bookmarked several items for batch 3 already though!
There's always the debate of using an agent vs a forwarder. I like peeka for their efficiency and convenience it brings me.. So even though I know they cost more, I still choose them. (: Sea shipping is often my choice for it calculates items by volumetric weight while freight calculates by weight.. I've used both services before and they're pretty good!
I am sharing some of the links here.. links are accurate as of the posting of this post.

I've always had this love for mason jars and I silly-ly bought 1 for sgd$24 on qoo10! I quickly cancelled my order realising my mistake and sought on taobao instead.. So here I am, getting 6 301ml ones for only $22 before shipping!

Hi Cynthia, please share the link for the mini diy kit. It's so adorable, would like to get it for my daughter.
ReplyDeletehello! sure! http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=35647446329
DeleteHi, could you advise what are the items categorised under 'Special goods' for shipping to Singapore? I paid almost RMB300+ for 6kg items. Thought it may not be worth it buying from overseas sites after incorporating shipping charges. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you buy? Different companies have different charges.
DeleteGenerally, a 6kg bag isn't gonna be cheap cos the base charge is expensive. I usually aim for a 10 - 15 kg bag to get about $6 per kg
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI've ordered glass from taobao recently via 4PX. However, items were all broken even with "Fragile" sticker on the parcel packaging. :(
4PX nv refunded as they claimed that they don't hold responsibility to ship fragile items.
So i was wondering how's ur glass and fragile items'condition when received?
Hello,
Delete4px is not an agent and yes, they are not responsible for the checking of items.Did you ask for the seller to pack the item well for international shipping?
So far glass items bought via agent peeka and 4px were good. I had 2 out of 10 mason jars purchased for a friend via 4px broken but seller did refund us out of goodwill. As with all online shipping, there's a certain amount of risk involved in shipping fragile items.
