Dear Mummies,
I have been buying lots and lots of things from Taobao via 65daigou and Hoyoyo, their shipping charges are actually quite expensive if the item is bulky. Currently I am considering to import some bulky items into Singapore via sea shipping, and I found out one of the cheapest agent offering sea shipping at CNY500/CBM (https://www.oops.sg/price.php).
I am buying a remote controlled car with possibly few other smaller items, but total volumetric is definitely much smaller than 1CBM. I started this thread so that we all can combine all bulky items and ship together to save delivery charges. Things that are bulky and you are probably interested are:
Remote controlled car - estimated volumetric 0.15CBM

Stroller - estimated volumetric 0.15CBM
http://world.tmall.com/item/521386548225.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.bqWfgY
Baby cot - estimated volumetric 0.2CBM
http://world.tmall.com/item/43837849125.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.TbMyVA&skuId=94896808642
If the above items were purchased via 65Dxxxx, it will cost at least $70 shipping fee by sea and $100 by air. If we could maximize the group buy, the savings in shipping as high as $50 per item.
Some rules attached with group buy:
1. you need to purchase and pay for your own items via Taobao and shipped to the shipping agent address under my account
2. you should check with the seller to confirm on the size of the items before purchasing it
3. you should notify me in advance before placing the order
4. you should make sure that the items you will be purchasing are not prohibited by the customs of both countries
5. you are responsible for the items you will be purchasing and the conditions of the items when it reaches Singapore
6. you should make your own arrangement to pick up your purchased items from my house in Sembawang
7. I will ensure that your items remained unopened when it reaches my house
8. I will notify you the estimated shipping charges and GST before you place your order
9. I will pay for the shipping charges and GST on your behalf and you should pay me when you collect your items from my house
10. You and I share the same counterparty risks in case the shipping agent cannot fulfill its responsibility
Lastly, please note that the intended group buy is through sea shipment and it takes perhaps a month to reach Singapore, as I need to consolidate all orders before ship them here.
Do your own calculation and comparison with the sellers from Qoo10, you will realised a great savings on buying direct from Taobao!!
