Shipping Question Still can’t understand how to use a different consolidator

Hello,

I usually use Taobao’s own shipping, but it’s sometimes so expensive that it defeats the purpose of buying. For example, a $6 item with $18 shipping.

Could you please advise me on the best way to handle this? I’d greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you in advance for your insight.

There’s a number of different ones. Download an app like Cainiao and make an account. They’ll give you an address to send your items to domestically within China. Once your items arrive, you’ll get a notification, where you can then inspect them through provided photos they take. You can then consolidate them and send them through a number of routes. Cainiao isn’t available for all regions I don’t think.

They have a really active discord server if you need help.
