Quick summary
・Taobao and Tmall’s Double 11 peaks from 10 Nov at 8pm to the end of 11 Nov, with some deals reported to run until 13 Nov (check the event page)
・Five official-store picks: POP MART LABUBU and Hirono, Shanghai Disney Duffy, Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG and a wool-blend cardigan

Taobao and Tmall’s Double 11 has entered its final stretch. This year Tmall replaced its cross-store spend-and-save offers with an “official instant discount” shown on some product pages, so there is no need to pad your cart to hit a threshold. If you have been waiting for new POP MART releases, Shanghai Disney merchandise or collectible cards, these few days are the time to order.
Collectible toys, theme-park merchandise and trading cards are some of the best reasons to shop Taobao: official brand stores carry new releases and China-only editions that are hard to find elsewhere. The five picks below come from those stores, with prices in yuan and Singapore dollars.
Buying is straightforward. Order on Taobao as usual, use the Buy&Ship China warehouse as your delivery address, and once your parcels arrive, consolidate them and ship them to Singapore. Items that only accept mainland China addresses can usually be bought this way, and parcels from different shops can travel together.

Taobao 11.11 2026 Timeline: The Final Peak Starts 10 Nov, 8pm
Tmall’s Double 11 pre-sale opened on 15 Oct at 8pm, and spot sales started on 20 Oct at 8pm. The final peak runs from 10 Nov at 8pm to the end of 11 Nov. Some reports say deals on certain items continue until 13 Nov, while others put the end of the event at 11 Nov, so check the event page and each product page before you order.
| Phase | Time (Singapore time) |
|---|---|
| Pre-sale opens | 15 Oct, 8:00pm |
| Spot sales start | 20 Oct, 8:00pm |
| 11.11 peak | 10 Nov, 8:00pm to 11 Nov, 11:59pm |
| Some deals continue (per reports) | Until 13 Nov, 11:59pm |
This year’s mechanics are simpler than before. Tmall dropped its cross-store spend-and-save discounts in favour of an “official instant discount” applied directly to the item price, which some product pages display, and 88VIP members can claim extra platform coupons. To make the most of it, add what you want to your cart early and check out once the peak begins.
Many Taobao sellers mark their listings as free shipping within mainland China. Set your delivery address to the Buy&Ship China warehouse and those items reach the warehouse at no extra cost, so you only pay to ship them on to Singapore. See Taobao direct vs our China warehouse below for a comparison.
Why Shop Taobao This 11.11: Official Stores, China Editions and Collectibles
POP MART, Pokémon and Shanghai Disney Resort all run official stores on Tmall, where new series go live and China-only editions are sold. The Simplified Chinese edition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, for example, is released for mainland China, and the official Tmall store sells it directly.
Best-selling items in these stores often sell out during Double 11, so add the ones you want to your cart early. The five picks below cover collectible toys, theme-park merchandise, trading cards and an easy autumn layer.
5 Taobao 11.11 Must-Buys: POP MART, Shanghai Disney, Pokémon TCG and More
Every pick below comes from a brand’s official store on Taobao or Tmall. Prices are as shown on each product page on 6 November 2026, converted at about S$0.19 to 1 Chinese yuan.
1. POP MART THE MONSTERS LABUBU Chess-Themed Vinyl Plush
LABUBU in chess-royalty dress, with a crown, a red cape, a bouquet of roses and a ring box. The vinyl face and plush body make it a larger, more detailed piece than a standard blind box, and the official POP MART store lists more than 10,000 sold.
Taobao price: ¥499 (approx. S$95)
2. POP MART Hirono × Harry Potter Blind Box
Hirono reimagined as characters from the wizarding world, including a “Wanted” poster design. It sits on the official store’s best-seller chart with more than 10,000 sold, and you can buy a single random box or the full set of 12.
Taobao price: ¥69 and up (approx. S$13)
3. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Anniversary Duffy Plush
Shanghai Disney Resort turns 10 this year, and Duffy celebrates in a lilac anniversary outfit. It is sold by the resort’s own official Tmall store, so you can get park merchandise without a trip to Shanghai. The listing asks shoppers to join the store’s membership before buying.
Taobao price: ¥279 (approx. S$53)
4. Pokémon TCG Simplified Chinese Booster (20-count listing)
The Simplified Chinese edition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is sold in mainland China, through the official Pokémon store on Tmall. The listing is limited to store members, with a cap on how many each account can buy, and it may show as unavailable for addresses outside mainland China. Check the exact contents of the 20-count option on the product page before you order.
Taobao price: ¥300 (approx. S$57)
5. Chumian Wool-Blend Crew-Neck Cardigan
A dropped-shoulder crew-neck cardigan in grey, cream, butter yellow and pink, easy to wear on its own or over a tee. The wool-blend knit is soft, the listing says it is machine washable, and the brand’s official store lists more than 9,000 sold.
Taobao price: ¥229 (approx. S$44)
Note: prices are as shown on Taobao and Tmall product pages on 6 November 2026. Prices and stock change often during Double 11, so the product page at checkout is the final word. Converted prices use about S$0.19 to 1 Chinese yuan, are for reference only, and do not include shipping to Singapore. Product images belong to their respective brands and stores.
Shipping from Taobao to Singapore: From S$9 for the First Pound
Shipping from the Buy&Ship China warehouse to Singapore with Buy&Ship Shipping costs S$9 for the first pound and S$7 for each additional pound, delivered to your home. Charges are generally based on actual weight; for bulky items such as plush toys, check the size limits and the volumetric-weight rule on the shipping rates page. Here is an example of one consolidated shipment:
| Item | Amount (example) |
|---|---|
| Items: 2 × Hirono × Harry Potter blind boxes + 1 × LABUBU chess-themed plush | ¥637 (approx. S$122) |
| Seller shipping to the China warehouse | Per the product page; free for listings marked free shipping |
| Buy&Ship Shipping to Singapore (assuming 3 lb after consolidation) | S$9 + 2 × S$7 = S$23 |
| Total | Approx. S$145 |
Buy&Ship Shipping is S$9 for the first pound and S$7 per additional pound. UPS Shipping is also available at S$10 for the first pound and S$6 per additional pound, but UPS charges a minimum processing fee of S$23.60 on each shipment valued at S$400 or less, so for most Taobao orders Buy&Ship Shipping works out cheaper. The latest rates are always on our shipping rates page.
Save on shipping: parcels from different shops can be consolidated into one shipment for free, up to 10 parcels and 20 lb per shipment, and your parcels are stored free for 30 days at our sorting centre, so you can wait for the last one to arrive and ship everything together.
Taobao Direct Shipping vs Our China Warehouse: Which to Choose?
Taobao offers its own shipping to Singapore, and if you are buying one or two items that can be sent straight to your address, that works fine. If you are ordering from several shops during Double 11, or want an item that only accepts a mainland China address, shipping to the Buy&Ship China warehouse gives you more flexibility.
| Ship to Buy&Ship China warehouse | Taobao direct to Singapore | |
|---|---|---|
| What you can buy | You order with a mainland China address, so many items limited to mainland addresses become available | Some items show as unavailable for your region |
| Shipping cost | Buy&Ship Shipping from S$9 for the first pound, generally by actual weight | As shown at Taobao checkout |
| Combining shops | Parcels from different shops and platforms can be combined (up to 10 parcels, 20 lb) | As shown at Taobao checkout |
| Storage | 30 days free at our sorting centre | Per Taobao’s rules |

Before You Order on Taobao This 11.11
Set the China warehouse as your default address first
Some items check your default address to decide whether you can buy them. Add the Buy&Ship China warehouse address to Taobao and set it as your default before the peak, then add items to your cart, so you don’t have to change it at checkout.
Check dispatch dates on pre-sale items
Many Double 11 listings are pre-sale, and the product page states when they will be dispatched. If you plan to consolidate several items, check each dispatch date so everything arrives within the 30-day free storage period.
Choose the right blind-box option
POP MART blind boxes usually come as a single random box or a full set, and the prices are very different. Check which option you have selected; if you want the whole series, buying the full set is the simplest way.
Join store membership where the listing asks for it
Some official stores, including the Pokémon and Shanghai Disney stores, ask you to join their free store membership before buying certain items, and some listings limit how many each account can buy. Join first so checkout goes smoothly at the peak.
Check the restricted items list
Each overseas warehouse has its own restrictions, and the China warehouse has extra rules of its own, for example on shoes from renowned brands. Check our restricted items page before you order so your parcel is not held back.
Taobao 11.11 Shipping FAQ
Q1: Taobao ships to Singapore already. Why use a forwarder?
A: For one or two items, Taobao’s own shipping is convenient. But Double 11 orders often come from several shops, and shipping them to the Buy&Ship China warehouse lets you combine parcels into one shipment (up to 10 parcels and 20 lb per shipment). Some items that only accept mainland China addresses also need the China warehouse address before you can buy them.
Q2: The product page says the item is not available in my region. What should I do?
A: It means the item does not accept the region of your current delivery address. Change your default Taobao address to the Buy&Ship China warehouse and reopen the product page; you can often add it to your cart then.
Q3: How do I fill in the China warehouse address on Taobao?
A: Log in to Buy&Ship, open your overseas warehouse addresses and choose China. Copy the recipient name, member ID, address and phone number in exactly the format shown. Your member ID must be included so the warehouse can match the parcel to your account.
Q4: Can I combine parcels from different shops?
A: Yes. Once your parcels arrive at the warehouse, select the ones you want to send together in Member Centre and create a consolidated shipment; consolidation is free (up to 10 parcels and 20 lb per shipment). Parcels from the China warehouse can also be combined with parcels from our other overseas warehouses.
