Addicted to shopping on Taobao via 65Daigou!

Thursday, May 08, 2014

I've been addicted to shopping on Taobao lately! Our wedding is now 7 months away and the pre-wedding photoshoto is in 2 weeks so i wanted to order some stuff for that. To be honest ever since Taobao SEA has launched everyone around me has been going crazy taobao-ing and I remain to be one of those slowpokes saying "huh how to use taobao?! Everything is so complicating!" - or so i thought!

And i truly tried ok! A couple months back I tried adding some items into my cart and when it came to checking out, i was stumped and i've no idea how to make payment and shipping so i gave up. ):

I was chatting with Leon friend's gf and she mentioned to me that she's using 65Daigou to make her taobao purchase and how much things there are to buy on taobao and she asked me to go sign up for an account on 65Daigou and they provide these simple instructions on how it works which i realize.. it's really damn easy!




I've actually bought stuff from taobao years ago when "shopping sprees" in forums were the rage, remember the days where you copy and paste the URL of the item you want to buy, enter all the details such as price, colour, size etc and you pay the spree person via bank transfer and they will wait till there were enough orders and they would order and mail you your loots when it reached SG?

LOL feel so old school and nostalgic! I think i spent all of my late teen years "spree shopping" like nuts! But there's just this funny feeling like you're handling your $$$ to random people in forums and what if they run off with your $! I remember there were quite a number of cases like that then! 




Basically 65daigou feels like how sprees work, but 100000000000x safer, better and easier!

For example, i want to buy this sweater:

 
All i have to do is, simply start by copy+paste the url of the item you would like to purchase here and click "EZ-BUY"


Then this would pop up, all you have to do is check if the price is right as on the taobao site, select your qty, add comments of the size and colour (if any), select warehouse and method, i always choose Shanghai and Express Air, you can choose to drop this item if it's out of stock or add an additional choice like you can choose another color to replace if it's OOS. Simple and just like you're spreeing right?

 
After clicking submitting you can choose to add more items or check out and make payment!


 
When you go to your shopping cart, you can review all your orders in the shopping cart and check out if you want or leave the items in your cart while you shopping more and compile more items to buy at one go.

Payment is a breeze too! I always make payment via debit/credit card simply because i'm too lazy to do bank transfer, but you can choose to also pay via Ibanking, ATM transfer and also Paypal! This was such a relieve that it's so easy breezy since i mentioned previously when i tried to shop and check out on taobao SEA i encountered problems when i wanted to make payment.


After payment has been made, 65daigou quickly starts to process the orders.

 Order status will be updated promptly at every stage so I'm always super excited when i refresh the order page to see my ordered item status turning to "Order placed / Item dispatched / Item received, pending inspection and repack and finally.. Ready for shipment!" 

lol cheap thrill! in a way i feel like of thrilling when i see the status change!!

As soon as the items reaches the China warehouse, I can ship them to Singapore and when it arrives, i'll be able to select delivery method (home delivery /self-collection / MRT pickup / Neighborhood collection), and make my 2nd payment (international shipping fee + agent fee)!


I really love how easy and seamless everything is and i can't wait for my items to arrive!!!

I really ordered a shitload of things for the wedding because everything is so amazingly cheap, since i need to buy these things anyway in singapore it will easily cost 30x more so not buying them from taobao is like doing a diservice to myself. LOL! I'll make sure to check the ratings of the shop owner and also the reviews on the items before buying thou.

Although i already have 3 gowns for the upcoming pre-wed photoshoot, we came up with a concept that we wanted to look more "cheeky" so i ordered this adorable tea gown which would look perfect and it only cost about $$50!


Bought bow ties and suspenders for the brothers and it's really really affordable, like 4 pcs of bow tie is a grand total of $9.28 and 4 pcs of suspenders is $12.64, how to find that sort of prices in Singapore?!

I also ordered a number of these pretty corsages + boutonniere for the wedding party and the groom too.


Love this piece with real dried flower and lavender! These are all from different stores and cost between $3 - $9 each and i ordered a total of 20 pcs of an assortment of them for our wedding party - groomsmen, bridesmaid, parents, grandparents and leon's siblings.

Heh Ninja kitty + Magic the papilion will not be spared on our wedding day too! Ordered these cute bows for them both at like S$1 each!


Hahah i've even ordered a number of long sleeved tops and sweaters for our honeymoon in europe since it will be in the dead of winter and i don't wanna freeze to death!


Btw i saw the exact same piece on gmarket kr and it was like 30usd or something but here it's only about S$8, OMG.


Got these adorable pumps in hot pink to go with my tea ceremony customized cheongsum and it's only S$11! I read the reviews and many of them said that it's really comfy and good quality so we'll see when it's here if it's that awesome I'd buy it in other colors too!

Hello! Could you advise me on how the 65daigou works again? After selecting Shanghai warehouse, how do I make sure that it will ship the stuff back to Singapore? Am eyeing many things from tabao, but the chinese instructions and language is throwing me off --am afraid of clicking the wrong things! Would appreciate your help! :) Thank you so much! You can reach me at dawnax@gmail.com. Thank you! <3
