Taobao agents

[rich5665]

I'm trying to order a Beijin watch Zhufeng through Taobaodirect and I must say that for a first try on taobao it's not a wonderfull experience...

Took them more then a week to review my order, paid immidiately after receiving the invoice and now it's been more than a week that the status is ''processing''.

Not sure I'll try again an agent on taobao since everything seem to take alot of time versus other ''auction-online shop''.

ps: I must admit I'm the impatient type when I fall for a timepiece: I WANT MY WATCH NOW!!!

What happens during the first payment is TaoBao Direct Contacts the seller to insure that the items is available. If the items are still available, they then purchase the items. At this point you are waiting for the seller to send the item to TaoBao Direct. After TaoBao Direct inspects the items they repackage them and ship the items out. On my second order, one watch had been sold immediately after I made my first payment. TaoBao Direct applied the difference to my shipping costs. The fees in my opinion are the same as TaoBaoNow 10% of the order or a minimum of 50 RMB. Im going to give TaoBaoNow just as a comparison. I will say this much about TaoBao Direct. After receiving a notification of shipping I had the item within a week.

I have used Obook for one transaction and another quotation: they reply immediately, and the whole process was very smooth and quick. Not sure how costs compare to others - I presume they are fairly standard acrross agents?

Someone pointed out BuyFromTaobao: We buy and ship items from taobao.com to you to me today. I haven't used it, just relaying information.

The only thing I don't like about taobaogle is their very slow responding time. They prefer EMS and if you prefer a diffrent method, it is like pain in the ass to get at least a quotation.

To all visitors to this forum, please understand that the question raised in the original post is directed to members to recommend Taobao agents with whom they have done successful business.

It is not an invitation for unknown Taobao agents to advertise their own businesses!

Well, it seems that Taobaodirect was talked a lot here. I am going to have a look at this agent. Question: is it convenient and helpful for purchasing from taobao?
