Step 2:

You will be led to the Order Page. If there is no record of your shipping address, you will be prompted to add a new one. Otherwise, you may skip to selecting the delivery options.

For overseas shipping, there are currently three shipping methods available – direct delivery by the seller, Ta-Q-Bin direct shipment (for Taiwan areas), Taobao direct shipment (for Singapore and Malaysia) or consolidated shipment – depending on the types of product being ordered.

  1. Hi, at step 2 after i click 合并转运, i see 官方空运。 Am i suppose to click that? Because i do not see the 国际物流助手 option。 Or am i suppose to wait a few more days?

  2. Hi, how would you know shopping is included in the package? What’s the difference between 运费险 (卖家赠送) and 运费?do we still have to pay for delivery in the end?

  3. Hi Eric, do you know how to change an item size after the first payment? I have contacted the seller via wangwang chat and they have replied: “亲修改了呢” – does this mean that they have modified it for me? Thank you 🙂

  4. Hi, do you know if I could still change my shipping method at this point (ie selecting EMS vs ups?). I don’t think I ever saw that option to select the shipping carrier prior to payment.

    Many thanks!

  5. Why can’t they include the instruction od use within the app? I ordered somethings not knowing that there is this second shipment that need to be arranged. Ended up I cancelled the order & the money is gone.

    Also, whaod of payment is accepted? If it is international, then credit card payment ahould be made available.
