I've been a fan of taobao since many year ago, I can't recall when I started. I knew about 65daigou few years back, but I didn't have much trust in them... but i still wanted to buy from Taobao cause it's so cheap right? *65daigou have been renamed to EzBuy recently*
But I backside itchy, I went to place an order with a Taobao Shop, let's call it ABC Shop, directly.... And made payment with my paypal... BUT, after like 1 week, ABC Shop told me that the address is provided is not valid for shipping... So apparently the shipping address was my home address. And they don't ship to Singapore directly!!
I was at a lost, so I turned to EzBuy for help. They had this service called Ship-For-Me and i just have to pay a minimum sum for the agent fee and the shipping fees. What impressed me is that EzBuy actually checked the goods for me, make sure it is in a good condition, took a picture and asked if the good is what I ordered! Which is damn cool la. Means they don't take goods blindly and mail to you blindly.
Shopping on Taobao using EzBuy was definitely my first choice ever since then!
No.1 reason is that it's confirm 100% confirm chop cheaper as shopping directly from the country of where is was made helps to bypass any importer, exporter, distributor or retailer charges!
If you read my blogpost on my birthday celebration, you'll see that i bought a couple of my decorations from Taobao as well!
What I want to share today
Recently, they have introduced Prime into their options of shopping.
So they have 3 options in total.
1. Buy-for-me
2. Ship-for-me
3. Prime
So what is Prime?
Simply put it, it's a membership programme that you pay for $99/year to enjoy the various benefits.
What benefits are there?
1. Flat rate of $2.99 shipping fee... REGARDLESS of how many items, how heavy your items are from the Prime Page!
*best deal ever if you are buying furniture, bags, shoes, whatever!*
2. You get upgraded to SVIP benefit! Where you get 50% off agent fee for any products from the Prime Page.
3. You get the priority access to all the USA time sales.
*ladies, if you shop for Victoria Secret, Forever 21 etc etc you get all the benefits right there!*
4. It includes all Buy-For-Me services such as purchasing, inspection and after-sales support.
And remember, all these for only $2.99 per checkout! No matter how much/many/heavy you buy!
I personally tried out Prime on the 2.99 shipping once during the 65eday which happened on 5th of June.
If you can see, I purchased 12 items myself. Including a luggage...
Want to guess how much my total shopping bill?
Total was only 127.93! for 10 items including a luggage!
If you divide by 10, averaging out each of my items is only $12.80?! including shipping?!
Since shipping is 2.99 flat rate, if you divided 2.99 amongst the 10 items, it's only like 29 cents each item!
SUPER CHEAP LA!
Of course I did had some savings from using the 65eday coupon, $10 savings there. and also the free agent fee promotion, I saved another $5.39... But overall it's still super cheap!
Outfit above was from my Prime order.
Usual sports bra retails at about $30-$50 each? This was only $8.57.
Tights retails at about $40-$99 even? I order for only $10.54.
I wanted some new shoes for gym classes.. I ordered this for $5.69 only!
Total damage for a gym outfit is $24.80 only!
*Now you know why I love taobao...*
I ordered a 22" luggage for hand carry purposes when I travel for only $46.10. I read through the taobao shop reviews from other customers, most of them were good reviews and thus I decided to buy from this shop.
Most importantly is not just cheap, but also the reviews in the taobao shop. Those with real life pictures in the reviews are more credible. I usually don't mind paying a little more for that quality.
Above is the link to the shop I bought from.
It came with stickers (thats where my heart shape sticker came from) and a luggage cover as well! And it was well-packed in a cardboard box with styrofoam corners for protection.
I'm a happy girl with all my taobao Prime hauls hehehe
Whoever who is not shopping on Ezbuy should totally start doing so now!
