Updates About Storage Fees (\u5165\u5e93\u8d39)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But first \u2014 it\u2019s been brought to our attention that there have been cases of unexpected warehouse fees for bulky items. Why does this happen?<\/em> Well, sellers are preempting situations (i.e. rejections) that commonly happen when an item is large, especially when you use Cainiao as a shipping option. Thus, these sellers charge a warehouse fee to cover the cost of delivery in case the items get rejected. However, there are moments when they charge just to earn extra cash from consumers who don\u2019t know about this fee. While most sellers won\u2019t charge, we advise shoppers to switch sellers whenever this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Direct Shipping)<\/span>
<\/td>		All your items will be sent to Taobao\u2019s warehouse in China to be registered, and then immediately sent to you directly as individual packages. You’ll pay for the shipping fee together with the item.<\/span>

Price first 0.5kg: From \u00a522 (S$4.50)<\/em>
Price next 0.5kg: From \u00a515 (S$3.10)<\/em>

(Seller\u2019s Shipping)<\/span>
<\/td>		You have to negotiate with the seller directly for them to ship directly to Singapore. This option is troublesome and you need to converse fluently in Mandarin. Plus, there are some sellers who will refuse to personally ship overseas.<\/span>

Price per kg: Depends on seller\ufeff<\/em>
<\/td><\/tr>
Third-party Freight Forwarders\/Agents<\/span><\/td>Retrieve your bulky items through Cubic Metre (CBM) shipping <\/a>with third party forwarders. In general, regular shipping charges you for whichever weight is higher (actual weight vs volumetric weight). CBM shipping, on the other hand, uses sea freight and charges you based on the dimensions of your parcel. <\/span><\/span>

Which Is the Best Shipping Method For Me?<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Both “\u5b98\u65b9\u96c6\u8fd0 – \u7a7a\u8fd0” (Consolidated Shipping – Air Freight)<\/strong> and “\u5b98\u65b9\u96c6\u8fd0 – \u6d77\u8fd0” (Consolidated Shipping – Sea Freight)<\/strong> are the best methods, because it\u2019s always better to consolidate everything into one package for optimal shipping. Consolidated shipping is also slightly cheaper than direct shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you’ll have an extra step to do, as you need to manually consolidate your items and pay for shipping separately. Read on to understand how to consolidate and pay for your shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
