Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to popular questions about buying goods from Taobao
Taobao is China's largest C2C/B2C retail marketplace with over 1 billion products. Unlike Alibaba (an international B2B platform for wholesale purchasing) and 1688.com (a domestic Chinese B2B market), Taobao is focused on retail trade and allows you to buy from 1 unit of goods. The platform operates primarily in Chinese and offers a wide range of products at affordable prices. Taobao is more convenient for purchasing small quantities of goods and for private buyers.
The following categories are especially popular on Taobao: clothing and shoes (from Chinese manufacturers, a wide selection of styles), electronics and accessories (smartphones, tablets, headphones, chargers), goods for the home and kitchen (decorative items, dishes, textiles), cosmetics and beauty products (Chinese cosmetics, care products), accessories and jewelry, sporting goods, toys and gifts, pet products. The platform is especially beneficial for purchasing clothing, electronics and accessories, as it offers purchases from 1 unit and affordable prices.
Features of purchasing on Taobao: purchase from 1 item (no minimum quantity required), work primarily in Chinese (language knowledge or agent purchase required), more than 1 billion products from millions of sellers, affordable prices and a wide range, various sellers (private C2C sellers, official B2C stores), ratings and reviews system to select quality sellers, possibility of returns within a certain period for most goods, various payment methods (Alipay, WeChat Pay, bank cards), delivery preferentially within China (agent required for international delivery).
The redemption process from Taobao includes: you send a link to the product and indicate the quantity (can be from 1 unit), we check the availability of the goods and the possibility of delivery, calculate the cost (product price + commission + delivery), you pay for the order, we buy the goods on your behalf via Alipay or WeChat Pay, receive the goods at our warehouse in China, check the quality and make a photo report, consolidate with other orders and send them to you with customs clearance. The entire process takes 10-25 days depending on the shipping method.
To redeem goods from Taobao, special documents are usually not required. All you need to do is provide a link to the product, quantity and your contact information. During customs clearance, we will prepare all the necessary documents: an invoice indicating the cost of goods, a packing list with a description of the goods, certificates of conformity (for electronics, cosmetics, children's goods, if necessary), documents for customs clearance. Some categories of goods may require additional certificates, which we will help you obtain.
No, we can only purchase items that the seller has in stock at the time of placing the order. If an item is out of stock, we will notify you and offer alternatives from other sellers or similar items. Some products may be available for pre-order, in which case we can place the order, but delivery will occur after the product goes on sale. We recommend checking product availability before placing an order, as products may run out quickly on Taobao due to popularity.
We provide complete information about the status of your order at every stage: confirmation of the application and calculation of the cost, purchase of the goods on Taobao, receipt of the goods at our warehouse in China, quality control and photo report, sending by international delivery with a track number, customs clearance and delivery to you. You receive notifications at every stage and can track your parcel using the track number after dispatch. We can also provide a tracking number from Taobao to track delivery to our warehouse.
Yes, on Taobao you can buy from 1 unit of goods, which is one of the main advantages of the platform compared to B2B platforms (Alibaba, 1688), which require minimum quantities. This makes Taobao an ideal choice for purchasing small quantities of goods, testing items before large purchases, or for private buyers. However, if you purchase multiple units of the same item, the unit price may be lower due to quantity discounts.
Delivery from China from Taobao takes an average of 10-25 days: 3-5 days for purchase of goods and delivery to our warehouse in China (Taobao delivers quickly within China), 7-20 days for international delivery, depending on the chosen method and destination country. Express delivery (DHL, FedEx) takes 7-12 days, regular air delivery - 12-18 days, sea delivery for large shipments - 18-25 days. For small shipments, air delivery is usually used.
Several delivery methods are available from China: express delivery (DHL, FedEx, UPS) - 7-12 days, fast and reliable, suitable for small quantities and urgent orders; regular air delivery - 12-18 days, optimal in terms of price and speed; sea delivery - 18-25 days, most profitable for large shipments and heavy goods (saving up to 50-70% compared to air). We will help you choose the optimal delivery method depending on the weight, volume, cost and urgency of your order.
Customs clearance of goods from China occurs automatically upon international delivery. We prepare all the necessary documents: an invoice indicating the cost of goods, a packing list with a description of the goods, certificates of conformity (if necessary for electronics, cosmetics, children's goods). Depending on the product category and destination country, different customs duties and VAT may apply. We inform you in advance about possible customs payments and help to minimize them through the correct execution of documents. Some product categories may require certification, which we will help you obtain.
Yes, we consolidate all your orders from different sellers on Taobao in our warehouse in China into one package. This allows you to save a lot on shipping since you pay for one package instead of several. Consolidation takes 1-3 days after receiving all goods at the warehouse. We pack all goods together, ensuring their safety, and send them in one parcel with a full set of documents. This is especially beneficial when ordering from several sellers at the same time or when purchasing different categories of goods (clothing, electronics, accessories).
Yes, we make sure to check the quality of all products from Taobao in our warehouse in China before shipping. The check includes: appearance of the product and packaging, completeness (presence of all elements, accessories, instructions), compliance with the description on the website (size, color, model, characteristics), operability of electronic devices (if possible), checking for defects or damage. If we detect a defect or discrepancy, we take detailed photos and videos, contact the seller to resolve the issue (return, replacement) and inform you about the situation.
If the product does not match the description on Taobao, we will resolve the issue during the inspection stage at our warehouse in China. We take photos and videos of discrepancies and contact the seller to return or replace the product. Taobao has a return policy within a certain period, so if the seller agrees to the return, we return the product and receive a full refund. If a replacement is needed, we will arrange for a replacement item. If the seller refuses to return, we will use Taobao's buyer protection system to resolve the issue. After sending the goods to you, returns are possible only in warranty cases and in agreement with the seller.
Returning goods from Taobao is possible in two cases: before shipping to you - if we find a defect or discrepancy with the description in our warehouse in China, we will arrange a return to the seller through the Taobao returns system and a full refund; after receipt by you - return is possible only in warranty cases (defects, malfunctions) and by agreement with the seller. The usual reasons for returns (size, color did not fit, changed your mind) after shipment are not accepted, since the goods have already undergone customs clearance and delivery. We recommend that you carefully check the product description and reviews before ordering.
We provide the following guarantees: a guarantee of purchasing the goods exactly according to your request (link, quantity, characteristics), a guarantee of working with Chinese sellers in Chinese, a guarantee of quality control at our warehouse in China before shipping, a guarantee of secure payment via Alipay and WeChat Pay, a guarantee of consolidating all orders from different sellers into one package to save on delivery, a guarantee of customs clearance and delivery to your address, a guarantee of solving problems with sellers through the Taobao buyer protection system.

We accept payment in a currency convenient for you, and we transfer funds to sellers through local payment systems (Alipay, WeChat Pay). All payments are secure and go through trusted channels. Some items may require prepayment as Taobao requires payment at checkout.
The commission for redemption services from Taobao depends on the cost of the product and the complexity of the order, usually ranging from 5% to 15% of the cost of the product. Discounts apply for large quantities and regular orders. The commission includes: purchasing goods through Alipay and WeChat Pay, working with Chinese sellers in Chinese, checking quality in a warehouse in China, consolidating orders from different sellers, customs clearance, organizing delivery.
