Taobao forwarder

Taobao forwarders are companies that provide shipping and storage services for your orders. Such companies include Taobao’s official shipping partners and third-party freight forwarders.

Taobao’s official shipping partners communicate with buyers in Chinese while third-party freight forwarders communicate primarily in English. This is often a crucial consideration for international buyers.

Examples of Taobao forwarders:

  • 4PX
  • Cainiao
  • PRouter

Examples of third-party forwarders:

  • M&P International Freights

Taobao agent

Taobao agents act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. They will assist buyers in the different stages of the purchasing process including negotiating, buying and delivering the product. As such, their services are often more expensive than that of Taobao forwarders.

These agents are ideal for international buyers as their platform and communications are in English. Examples of Taobao agents include:

  • Ezbuy
  • Oops.sg
  • Superbuy
  • Cssbuy

Shipping Methods Available

At M&P International Freights, we provide shipping via both air and sea freight.

Air freight

Suitable for: Smaller or lighter goods like clothes, shoes or accessories.

Air freight is a faster mode of transportation that is suitable for smaller shipments. However, it is typically more costly than sea freight.

Sea freight

Suitable for: Larger and bulkier goods like furniture and big household appliances

As compared to air freight, sea freight is a slower but more cost-effective solution. It is often the recommended option when shipping heavy or bulky items.

When transporting goods via sea vessels, you may opt for less than container load or full container load depending on your shipping needs.

Less than container load (LCL)

This option is ideal for shipments that fall below the minimum weight for applicable freight rates. 

To fill up the space in a standard container, your goods will be transported together with other shipments. Hence, the cost of shipping will be calculated based on the space taken up by your goods, allowing you to enjoy lower shipping costs.

Full container load (FCL)

When selecting this option, you will be paying for the entire price of the container. Thus, it is more costly than LCL.

However, it is more cost-effective for shipping a large number of goods or items that are bulky or fragile.
