How to Buy From 淘宝 (Taobao) Guide | Shopback | Singapore

Hi Alex, which payment option do I select. The checkout page got Alipay and SGD/Other Currency Option.

Hi Alex, I’m stuck after consolidating my items at the warehouse (trying to ship out my items from warehouse). I can’t make payment, my credit and debit cards aren’t accepted! Other options are to use Taiwan banks or Ali pay… Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi how do I purchase for customize size that I want?

can you chat with sellers in english will they understand ?

Hi Alex! Found your guides pretty useful, thank you so much! I saw in one of your post you bought aqara switches from Taobao, would you still recommend getting it from Taobao with it being a semi electrical item or through local stores in Singapore based on your experience?

Fantastic!!! I Love your videos very much... Started when I'm checking out about smart home stuffs. .. Your videos helped me a lot.. Thanks... 👍

This is so useful! Thank you man!

very helpful. didnt know about the shopback!

Hi Alex for the kohler + Basin set did you ask for crating or it was given automatically ?

Hi Alex, may I check with you what size of bed that you bought from Taobao? I have an SG sized queen mattress, and do not know what dimension bed I should choose on Taobao.

Hi Alex, is there any way for a non chinese to be able to use Taobao platform to buy stuff?

Im not able to locate where to enter my credit card details..

Hi Alex. sorry. i am confused with the step to enter TB warehouse address for consolidation. where can we add this address? and how to now what address to add? haha

Hi Alex, can I ask why I don’t get the option to consolidate the orders at the warehouse? The items were shipped direct to my Singapore address.

Hi I bought 2 buckwheat pillows (4.6kg) from Taobao for ¥55 but they sent my goods to 集运货仓and wanted to charge me ¥180 to send to Singapore! What shall I do? I bought with the impression that it’s 包邮！

Hi Alex, may I ask you what’s the estimated fees you have been charged by ezship for a sofa you ordered? I checked with merchant to provide me with dimensions and weight of item I wish to purchase however they are unable to provide and I do not want to be surprised with a high shipping fee charged by ezship 😅. Thank you in advance.

Hi how do I find the barcode for the pop locker thingy

Thanks for the video. I will save it as a reference. I waited more than 10 years for someone to do this.

So glad to find this channel. Very practical advise. Thanks! Alex.

I can't add card payment for taobao, it just gave me a blank page for over 10 minutes on mobile :(

Hi, would like to ask whether dining table can ship by air? is your dining ship by air ?

Has the image search button disappeared?

Hi may i know what it means after paying and the status of the items being shipped says 等待买家合包?

Hello, would like to ask your opinion on the shipping method. I understand on paper, sea shipping is the cheapest, but I heard all shipping via sea from Taobao will be charged GST. Was it worth it compared to air shipping which only charges GST if the parcel values over $400?

Hi Alex.
Can u recommend a good third party shipper to send items to Singapore. One that can do 集運。
Also for payments, how do we do 支付寶 in Singapore? Is it even possible?
Thanks alex. Love your videos and keep up your great work.

can different order that reach same warehouse be available for consolidated shipping?
Ty for this video

Hi Alex, may i know how much did you pay for shipping for your 2 toilet vanity?

Thanks for the sharing. Does it mean that we can’t get to know the shipping fees before we pay for the items? What if the shipping fees are too high but I am stuck as I have already purchased the items?

Hi Alex! Thanks so so much for the useful guide :) may I ask for your advice please - If I want to use the consolidated shipping by taobao, on the item page, under 配送，should we only select 广东东莞? Some do not seem to have this option but instead there is the 全国 option. Would that be ok too?

Hi Alex stumbled across your channel and it is very informative, today I learn a little on how to use Taobao. I have a question for hai Yun does it goes into PSA port as it will direct sent to your house as my friend told me that for bulky item I will use hai Yun and it will goes into PSA port and we need a clearing agent to do the clearing. Thanks for helping to answer my queries.

How much did you pay the shipping charges for sofa? Does it go by weight?

U deserve more subscribers. Thanks for all ur infos

Hi Alex , there's some xiaomi products on taobao that are cheaper than overseas. But may I know if these products are compatible with the Mi Home App ( Chinese Mainland Region ) , for example the Xiaomi Air Purifiers on Taobao . Im unsure because there are some products such as the Roborock S7, which is known as the T7s on Taobao that would not work outside of China. And whenever I contact the sellers , they say that they are not sure and wouldn't recommend me buying it. I've seen your smart doorlock which was bought from taobao but you can still use it , which really confuses me. Would really appreciate any help / advices from you, thanks !

this video was super helpful! thanks! do you also know how to delete credit card info from taobao? would be really helpful if you could teach me how to because I'm having a lot of difficulties doing so and I really need to delete it :(

How do I convert Taobao App to English version as Chinese is seriously a challenge for me. Pls advice. Thks Alex

Difference between Aliexpress and Taobao?

I wish taobao has English version

Will I be able to purchase bulky furniture directly through Taobao without going through 3rd party forwarders?

Hi Alex, May i know how to add Singapore Credit Card details for Alipay?

Which logistic firm are you using?

Hi Alex, how do you ask the seller to package fragile items like mirrors? Do they use wooden crate or only wooden frame?

Hey Alex, thanks for the great video! Do you mind sharing how you have planned for the shipment schedule to match your renovation schedule?

Your video is so informative! If you don't mind, hope you can add the explanation for some of the Chinese phrases that you mentioned so that those poor souls (me!) who use Google translate know which one to click.
Even better if you can do another video for non English speakers!!
Thank you!!!!

any idea how i can create new account. my acct seemed to have been blocked...

hi i recently buy item from taobao but the shipping address i put as my home address, will the parcel come?

Hi planning to buy furnitures from taobao like shoe cabinets etc. Is self installation difficult? Do u install yourself or get someone else to do so? What’s required? Thanks

Hi Alex! Thank you for the informative video. I'm not sure if you covered this but wondering if they help repackage all the products into one box or do they just come separately as whatever packaging the taobao seller packs it as?

Hi Alex, can I check for the ShopBack button, it’s for PC users right? If I’m using mobile Taobao app directed from ShopBack mobile app, I’m unable to add the ShopBack button.
