Are you guys familiar with TaoBao.com

Hi guys,

I have lots of friends overseas that orders from Taobao but I also heard that they now ship to internataionally.

Have anyone tried ordering from that site and ship to Canada?

Thanks

I order it. The whole shipping to other countries depends on the sellers. Some seller will do it and some have no idea what you are talking about. So if you go into their store and want to ship something overseas you need to message them and ask. That's the first way.

The second way is to use EMS. So there are store on TaoBao that specially will ship your items to overseas. What you do is send all of the items you purchase to their address. They will then put all of your items in a box and send it to you. Most of them I use EMS.

To be honest is not really cheaper than say Ebay but the stuff you purchase from TaoBao have more styles (clothing anyways) but the quality is questionable. Now I use ship them to my ex plaxe and she usually send them out to me and I pay her through Wechat. Much easier and cheaper.

One of my buddies in hk bought one and hearing from him quality is actually pretty good.

Knockoff are a whole different world in china now. You really do get what you pay for. A lot of the higher end knockoff is close in quality to the real thing especially for something as simple as lego.

My family frequently orders from aliexpress. Everything is good and dandy until the item passes the border into Canada. You lose all tracking thanks to Canada Post. They explicit state all international tracked items won't be tracked in Canada.

buyer feedback saying it builds just like a real one, but some sets have many missing pieces lol, but the seller is willing to ship them back right away.

damn, I am buying the orange (not yellow, need to check my eyes) one for sure, hopefully will get one to arrive Hong Kong after Chinese new year.


go to taobao.com and paste "乐拼911" in the search box. you will see those $3XX knockoff lol

Taobao is great if you live in HK or China. But no one can fit it in their luggage for me [emoji24]

Taobao is great for things arent crazy (u know big electronic items and stuff like that)

I order my phone cases on taobao, seller sells me $2 phone case and include screen protector, cleaner, headphone jack plug and a headphone holder for free (those things arent really expensive anyways but its free)

Taobao has a 7 day return policy, after 7 days if nothing goes wrong your money will automatically be transferred to the seller, but if anything goes wrong with in 7days u can sent it back free of charge

Im not too sure about international taobao thought

taobao's awesome. Bought 90% of the materials and furniture used in my home renovation from Taobao lol. I am in china though, so shipping takes 2-3 days for everything, and returning things is pretty easy. Gotta read the reviews to see quality of the stuff you're buying. I think there's services now setup overseas to help you buy from Taobao. You don't have to worry about a thing and goods get shipped to your door, albeit a bit pricier since thats how the service makes money.
