FAQ
Do I still need to pay shipping fees for deliveries from Taobao to Taiwan? +
Whether you need to pay shipping fees depends on the delivery method:
- Direct Shipping: If you choose the direct shipping service provided by the seller and pay the shipping cost when placing the order, then you don’t need to pay anything extra later. The seller will ship the goods directly from Mainland China to Taiwan.
- Consolidated Shipping: For this method, the domestic shipping is usually free (paid by the seller), but once the parcel reaches the consolidation warehouse, you’ll need to pay for the international leg from the warehouse to Taiwan. This cost depends on weight, volume, and shipping method (e.g. sea or air).
In summary:
