World.Taobao.com - What's New?

If you have been shopping at Taobao, you would realized that our favourite SEA.Taobao.com has be changed to WORLD.TAOBAO.COM! WAH! So Cool! It's WORLD BUSINESS NOW!


So what's the difference? What has changed?

- Country Select, Language Select (simplified and traditional Chinese)
- Shows local partner logos - Shows local currency and payment methods
- Direct shipping (one payment for local and international shipping)
- New search result page
- Order place and payment pages are in English

Wait wait. So what is direct shipping? To be honest I've yet to try it myself. If you are familiar with the previous SEA.Taobao and you have been using it with the help of forwarder such as 4px, you will only know how much you need to pay when the product reaches the warehouse and you have to make a 2nd payment which is the shipping BUT now with direct shipping everything will be faster and easier. You will actually find out the shipping cost right at the 1st payment gateway and you do not need to make a 2nd payment as the payment would already be included!

How to choose direct shipping? It is just here! The part where you used to select 4px.

So now we got this cleared up, time for me to show off my purchased list from my previous purchase!

KO Bumblebee Master Piece 



For toys lover, you will know the meaning of KO. The material is not as decent but the model is exactly the same. I got the Takara version and I got this as an extra play piece. :D

Courser Camera Bag 



Wanted a nice camera bag since now I've gotten a new camera. Never liked those typical black ugly ones. This is nice as it looks very lifestyle, with multiple compartments, durable and it is cheap!

Crazy Party Drinking Hat


Sorry for the messy hair.
I do not even know where do i begin on explaining myself like WHY did I buy this. Anyway it is not as easy as it seems. It is actually pretty damn challenging!

In case you find shopping post boring, here's a new video from my fav local rapistrapper - Shigga Shay. Pretty damn awesome that he is getting more main stream on tvs and movies. Love how his raps always includes local culture and stuff.

Hi, so this is just a one step process where I just select this as my shipping option, put my shipping and payment info, and it's done?

I just ordered from the United States, they send all your orders to a warehouse, then you have to merge all items then pay for shipping. To the USA the shipping was fast only like 4 days! and they sent it using DHL. the shipping prices are a lot cheaper than an agent!! You have to add your international address, order, wait for all items to ship and arrive at warehouse, then merge them (theres a button for that), then pay for international shipping. Its a new Taobao consolidation and logistics service.

Hi.. In the past we had to choose the forwarder's destination for items to be consolidated (eg: Hangzhou - 4px), do I need to ammend the location (when adding items to basket) or leave it as it is? Much appreciated if you could help.
