My Taobao Haul
12:56 AMMy parcel from Taobao is finally here!
I lost count of the time I buy stuffs from Taobao but I think this is the fourth or fifth time. So far all my Taobao shopping experiences were good so every time I'll be anticipating the moment I receive my stuffs!
This time is rather different because it's the first time I'm not buying through friends/agents. This time I bought through the Taobao Direct Global Shipping! So I was a little worried that I might not get my stuffs that fast, or maybe not even get my stuffs at all! But I think it was a very small risk coz I have enough confidence in Taobao :D And now I know that my previous worries were unnecessary because I got all my stuffs with correct quantities and colours 11 days after I placed my order (faster if my sis didn't unintentionally order a pre-order bag).
The Taobao Direct Global Shipping is my favourite and most recommended method to shop from Taobao now (only if the stuffs are light and not bulky). Why I didn't know of this method earlier?!?! It's damn simple and safe! First, you just choose your stuffs like usual, add all your chosen stuffs into cart, check out when you're done and just pay through online banking or credit cards! I think it's even faster than buying through agents because you don't need to wait for the agent to approve your payment. Now you can just straight away pay through CIMB, Maybank, and other banks I forgot or with credit cards. Oh ya, when you make payment, the money actually will not be transferred to the seller until the Taobao warehouse receive the products. The money will be held by Alipay temporarily so rest assured that you won't be conned. If the items are damaged or not correct, you can always return or ask for refund.
Every step is so easy once you've done the registering step (which was quite a hassle but this is same for the agents).
The stuffs I bought are actually not cheap, but they couldn't be found in Malaysia (or at least not that easily to be found). K now let's look at the hauls, shall we?
The main reason that I wanted to shop from Taobao this time was to get the tempered glass for my Redmi Note 3 (as I didn't get to buy one from Mi's website last time. Refer: How I Got My Redmi Note 3). And the tempered glasses were not even bought, they were free gifts! I got two tempered glasses now coz I bought two new phone cases lol.

| Phone case with tempered glass, iRing, electromagnetic waves filter sticker and plugger as free gifts. |
OMG I super love this phone case. Before I even decide which phone to buy I already decided I wanna buy this phone case lol. I super love this kinda vintage floral patterns! At first I wanted to buy the 牡丹 pattern but last minute I changed to this 蔷薇 pattern because I was afraid the 牡丹 will look too old-fashioned.
 |
| 23.80 RMB (RM 14.9) |
Nice or not? It's totally like the picture shown by the seller except that the white background is actually beige (which I like it more because there's more vintage feel to it lol). The quality is good! It's almost impossible to get this type of phone case in Malaysia, what more if my phone is Xiao Mi.
 |
| 21.80 RMB (RM 13.60) |
 |
| Free tempered glass with the box which contained the phone case. |
 |
| Good quality tempered glass with dust sticker, alcohol and dry wipes. |
 |
| Stuff that costs ten over RM like this also they provide after-sales service OMG |
 |
| Stocks are returnable. |
Also, my headband and my banana clip were broken (time broken near to each other wtf). Is this God's will that I should buy new headband and banana clip from Taobao? lol.
I wanted to buy a telephone wire hair tie too but I was too lazy to choose already so I didn't buy but guess what? It's like the seller can read my mind and gave me one for free (YIBOYO brand somemore)! WTF. Didn't see the seller got sell also!
 |
 |
| 21.00 RMB (RM 13.10) |
The quality is very good! Very sparkly, expensive-looking and chic. I can tie a tight ponytail and it won't become loose after a whole day like my previous clips. Worth the money I guess haha.
 |
| Hair clip also got a quality assurance card lol |
 |
| 29.00 RMB (RM 18.10) |
This headband is quite expensive T.T but I like it because it's simple and elegant. 低调的高贵懂吗? LOL The ribbon crystal is very sparkly!
 |
| Came in a small box. |
 |
| Super cute lah. |
The quality of the brush is also nothing to be complained about! Nano-sized brush and really really soft. The cleaning effect is still waiting to be verified.

How much did you pay for shipping? :3 I want to buy from Taobao but I'm in the UK so it might cost loads ;_;
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for leaving a comment! :D
DeleteWe paid around RM45 for shipping and service charge (sharing with my sis). It depends on the weight and dimension of your parcel actually. I guess that's just around 8 pounds in the UK? Yeah probably cost much more if ship to UK from China. But it's worth it because there're endless choices of items!
May i ask for the links of both phone cases? because they are both so gorgeous and i really want to buy them!
ReplyDeleteHey! These are the links :)
