I. Common Problems When Shopping from China
Have you ever experienced these issues while shopping online in China?
- Can’t link Alipay or WeChat Pay, and therefore can’t enjoy special prices on Taobao or RedNote? Many limited-time deals require Chinese payment methods, leaving overseas shoppers out of luck.
- Some sellers don’t ship to your local address, and even if they do, you might worry about fake products, damaged items, or poor after-sales service once the seller notices your overseas address.
- Trying to meet free shipping thresholds can mean buying in bulk — but with short consolidation storage limits, the pressure to ship quickly adds stress and extra costs.
No worries — Buy&Ship has you covered!
Buy&Ship offers professional China proxy shopping and parcel forwarding services, making it easy to shop from platforms like Taobao, RedNote, and JD.com, without worrying about payment methods, local addresses, or after-sales support.
- Transparent pricing: Shipping is charged based on actual weight — no hidden fees. Check full size, weight, and quantity limits
- Extended 30-day free storage: Take your time collecting your parcels before shipping; no rush to consolidate orders.
