Hereโs your guide on how to ship bulky items such as furniture from Taobao!
Generally, 3PF costs less than direct shipping from Taobao when it comes to big and bulky items. However, for smaller items, it makes sense to ship directly from Taobao sellers if they have international shipping option.
Also with Taobao direct shipping, you might be faced with issues where the parcel is too big and unable to ship to Singapore. This is where 3PF comes in handy.
For me personally, I am using EKLINK as my 3PF. I have not really tried other 3PF yet hence unable to compare and comment ๐ so far, EKLINK has been extremely reliable and 95% of my goods came intact and in good condition.

โข Shipping fees are cheaper than direct shipping for bulky and heavy items. This is because shipping fees are calculated using cbm instead of weight. Cbm measurement is calculated by multiplying the width, height and length together of the shipment.
โข 3PF can also help to repackage and offer additional protection to your items, eg ๆๆจๆถ or ๆๆจ็ฎฑ, or just adding more protection in general.

โข As mentioned above, shipping fees are calculated using cbm. Shipping fees vary depending on whether you choose sea or air shipment.
โข GST by the government. Do note that you will have to pay prevailing GST rate on top of the amount you paid for your goods. I believe if you ship directly from Taobao, you will have to pay these costs too.

There are generally 3 stages when you use 3PF.
1๏ธโฃ Shopping & pre-delivery
This is when you cart out all your items on Taobao, do all the prep work such as filling in warehouse address, keeping track of the tracking number and inputting relevant details on the 3PF site (in this case EKLINK).
2๏ธโฃ Arrival of shipment at warehouse
This is when all your shipment has arrived at warehouse, and you would need to select the parcels you wish to consolidate for shipping to Singapore. This is also the stage where you would pay for the 3PF shipping fees + GST costs.
3๏ธโฃ Delivery
At this stage, you just need to wait for updates from your 3PF on when your parcels will arrive in Singapore, and wait for parcels to be delivered to your home.
