Taobao Agent, Consolidation & Freight: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Proxy buying: a flat service fee on item value plus domestic & international shipping (mostly on you). Errand / freight billed per item or per kg. Full quote upfront, no hidden fees.
How long does delivery take?
Proxy: 1–3 days to buy, then 7–15 days international. Errand: same-day in-city. Freight: sea ~12–40 days, air 5–10 days, depending on destination and channel.
Who pays customs duties?
Duties and import taxes are borne by the recipient; we declare goods truthfully. Applicable tariffs and thresholds depend on the destination customs current rules — we outline the available clearance route in your quote.
Which platforms do you support?
Mainly Taobao, 1688, Pinduoduo; other China platforms on request. Errand & freight are not platform-limited — we follow your instructions.
How does a Taobao agent work?
Send us a product link or a description. We calculate item cost, domestic shipping, international shipping and our service fee, then give you one full quote. We buy, inspect and consolidate only after you confirm. This is a lead / quote site — no cart, no online payment, nothing charged before you approve the quote.
Can I buy from Taobao or 1688 without Alipay or WeChat Pay?
Yes. That is the main reason clients use a China buying agent: we place and pay for the order inside China. You only provide the link, specs and quantity. Currency and payment method are agreed in the written quote.
How much does parcel consolidation save?
Combining several parcels into one spreads the first-weight charge and removes surplus packaging — our worked example saves about half the shipping cost. The actual figure depends on actual/volumetric weight, destination and carrier, and is confirmed in your quote. See case 3.
Which countries do you ship to?
We work out the international leg and clearance route for your specific destination. Enter your country in the request form and we will reply with available channels, transit times and costs.
Freight forwarding vs international express courier?
Express suits small, urgent parcels and is priced per parcel. Freight forwarding suits bulk or oversized cargo — sea LCL or air, priced per kg or cubic metre — and can include warehousing, customs declaration and door delivery. See case 4 for a 100 kg comparison.
What items cannot be shipped from China?
Restricted and prohibited items, and declaration rules, differ by carrier and destination and change over time. Always refer to the carrier and destination customs current rules; we check feasibility for your items at quote stage and will tell you directly if something cannot be shipped.
