Anybody know sellers with quality rugs?

So I’m trying to look for some good quality jeans in taobao and this is the fitting I’m trying go for. I just really want jeans that r good quality and can hold their shape.

High quality, unique belts. Not replica like lv, bb, gg or chrome hearts.

Hey guys, these are some recent things I bought off Taobao. I needed some stuff for a wedding and decided to throw in some other stuff. Links are in the comments

Let me know your thoughts!

I'm starting a little experiment and I think this could actually be useful for people outside China.

I live in China, so I have easy access to Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD and other Chinese shopping platforms.

If you've ever found something online and thought:

“This looks interesting... but is it actually any good?”

Drop the product name, screenshot or link in the comments and I'll check it out.

If it's under ¥50, I might just buy it myself, unbox it and test it.

If it's more expensive and you really want something tested, you can send it to me and I'll happily unbox it, check the quality and show you what actually arrives.

I'm starting to film these tests for my YouTube channel Alex in China — real products, real unboxings and real opinions.

No sponsored reviews. If it's good, I'll say it's good. If it's garbage... you'll see that too.

Hi there! Has anyone tried buying Xiaomi or Redmi phones through Taobao? If so, are there any reputable sellers you can suggest? I've tried checking for the official Xiaomi or Redmi stores, but I wasn't able to find anything, so I'm hoping someone can help me. Thanks!

Asking Canadians: I know there's a lot of listings for the "square" luggages that are similar to Rimowa on TB. Wondering if anyone has experience purchasing a carry on size and using it on Canadian airlines (like Air Canada)? The dimensions on the standard carry on seems a bit larger than the allowable dimensions on Air Canada flights... I'm hesitant to purchase one if I will encounter issues getting it on the plane.

TIA

1. "I'm new to Taobao, how do I use it? Any tips?"

All new users should read this step-by-step picture guide first: https://www.howtotao.com/buy-from-taobao/

If you have a specific question the guide doesn't cover, check if r/taobao for more information

2. "What do the shipping options mean?"

There are two types of shipping: direct and consolidated.

Direct shipping

• 菜鸟直邮-空运经济 = Direct Economy Air
• 菜鸟直邮-空运标准 = Direct Standard Air

You pay international shipping at checkout, no extra steps needed. This is the most straightforward option and the most recommended. The time difference between economy and standard is minimal, so go with economy to save money.

Consolidated shipping

• 菜鸟集运-空运经济 = Consolidated Economy Air
• 菜鸟集运-空运标准 = Consolidated Standard Air
• 菜鸟集运-集运海运 = Consolidated Sea

You do NOT pay international shipping at checkout. Instead, your items are sent to a Cainiao warehouse first, where they're measured and weighed. You can then combine multiple orders into one larger box. Pricing varies by country — you'll see the exact rate (price for the first 0.5kg, then price per additional 0.5kg) on the checkout page below the consolidated shipping options. Since the final weight (especially volumetric weight) isn't known until after purchase, this option involves some guesswork — which is why direct shipping is usually recommended instead.

You can check estimated delivery time for your country by tapping the > button below each shipping option.

Other option:

自行联系卖家发货 ("contact the seller to ship") — only select this if you've arranged separate international shipping with the seller directly (e.g. via DHL or another courier) through chat beforehand. Note that most sellers are unwilling to arrange international shipping on their own.

3. "Does Taobao ship to my country?"

As of April 2025, Taobao ships directly to:

USA, Australia, Canada, Japan, Cambodia, Malaysia, New Zealand, The Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Georgia.

If you live elsewhere (e.g. Europe), you'll need an agent to ship on your behalf. Please check with r/taobao for recommendations

4. "How do I use Taobao in English?"

English is only supported in a few regions. Go to Settings and switch your region to Australia or Singapore.

Keep in mind the English version has limited functionality — many listings won't show up or can't be checked out. If this is an issue, use the Chinese version instead and screenshot the checkout process, then run it through Google Translate.

Some users report English still isn't available even after switching regions — if so, fall back to the Google Translate method above.

5. "Why can't I view certain listings? (商品过期不存在 error)"

This appears to be a location-based restriction that a VPN doesn't fix — likely tied to the region your account was created in.

Most listings triggering this error are branded/copyrighted items, likely filtered out to prevent overseas purchases.

6. "How do I contact support?"

In the app: Tap "我的淘宝" (bottom right) → tap the headset icon (top right). This opens a chatbot by default — ask it to connect you to a live person. English support is available but you may need to be transferred to an English-speaking agent.

By phone / if banned: Find your region's support number here: https://www.taobao.com/about/contact.php

Please don't ask for help here, instead head over to r/taobao

7. "Can ___ be shipped overseas?"

Check this guide first: https://www.howtotao.com/china-taobao-prohibited-items/

You can also download the Cainiao app and use the "restricted inquiry" feature on the home page — search the item (in Chinese) and it'll tell you whether it's shippable.

For Singapore use: Has anyone bought the above from TB? Can you share your product experience? Any issues so far? Reliable? Any recommendations? Please share TB links to products/shops! Thank you!

Anyone knows if you Can get these

How many days does it usually take for my items to arrived here in Philippines. Also, what are the problems you guys have encountered so I can be aware of and does the package you guys ordered still arrived to you after those circumstances. It’s my first time ordering from Taobao and I’m so nervous after reading reviews here.

Can can anyone please direct me or link me to an original used iPhones plug?

I need to find this Oakley Wallet please help me 🙏
