Taobao FOCUS http://taobaofocus.com Buy from Taobao.com in English, Taobao agent Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:58:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Taobao agent: online China Taobao shopping service http://taobaofocus.com/blog/agent-taobao-shopping-service http://taobaofocus.com/blog/agent-taobao-shopping-service#comments Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:41:30 +0000 admin http://taobaofocus.com/?p=844 This is a brief summary of our Taobao shopping service. As a Taobao agent, we offer online shopping, buying and shipping service from China Taobao to your place.

What is included in our Taobao shopping service?

Taobao search in English, sourcing online in China: since Taobao.com has no English version website, we help you to search Taobao in English. In case you can’t find some specific items on Taobao or other online websites in China, we can assist you in searching and providing you item information in English. Taobao.com is China’s largest online marketplace, that is why we give the priority to this website, but you can also request us to search your desired item at the following Chinese websites: alibaba.com, eachnet.com, paipai.com, dangdang.com, amazon.cn, vancl.com, 360buy.com.

Taobao buying agent: we help you buy from China online all kinds of products at the best / lowest prices. While buying online in China may be quite difficult (websites in Chinese language, payment with China Alipay or Chinese local bank account, etc.), we make your online shopping in China feasible, cheap and easy. When we buy from Taobao.com on your behalf, we consult you regarding sellers reputation, items quality and overall order process and time. We ensure that you get the items you have ordered and combine all the products for international shipping.

Quality check and combining your goods bought in China online: When we purchase from Taobao for you, we receive all the products at our warehouse where we do quality check (if items are in good condition, as described, etc.) and combine everything for international shipping. In some case you want to ship your Taobao items to different places, so we can regroup the products in separate parcels. Usually we are not able to check electronic appliances because they are often under warranty and we might break it while misusing. Therefore, on your special request, we can check some of goods (i.e. cell phones, camera).

Taobao dropshipping: with our buying service it is possible to drop ship from Taobao. As stated on Wikipedia: “Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer”. In other words, everything you buy from Taobao with our shopping service can be shipped to the address other than yours and we will not clearly disclose the origin of goods. Thus, with Taobao agent you can send the gifts to your family or friends in China or overseas, or you can do your business by sourcing and buying from Taobao and deliver the products directly to your customers internationally.

Taobao international shipping: we offer the most competitive prices for China overseas shipping from Taobao.com. Taobao agent can deliver your goods from China to nearly all countries in the world. As for today we have shipped the parcels from China to the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Honk Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), Vietnam.

Whether you buy from Taobao.com with our shopping service or you buy from other China’s online shopping website with or without our shopping service, you can always use our international shipping service for delivery from China overseas. If you don’t use our shopping service, we apply only 50RMB handling fee per parcel and we ship your goods internationally at best, lowest shipping rates. We usually send parcels with EMS, China Post Air Mail and China DHL, but we can offer other shipping services to deliver your goods: you can choose among UPS, Fedex, DHL Hong Kong, TNT and inland transportation with various discounts. Feel free to contact us for more information.

If you need a specific service that was not mentioned here, please send us a request and we will do our best to help you.

]]> http://taobaofocus.com/blog/taobao-agent-list/feed 2 How to use Taobao FOCUS order system http://taobaofocus.com/blog/how-to-use-taobao-focus-order-system http://taobaofocus.com/blog/how-to-use-taobao-focus-order-system#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:40:35 +0000 admin http://taobaofocus.com/?p=522 How to use Taobao FOCUS order system: access to order system for Taobao items, how to submit order, Taobao links, order status definitions, how to use order comments, etc.

It seems that we finally released all the functions for the first version of our order system. Now we will tell you more what it is for, how to use it and how to make all your Taobao buying process faster.

What Taobao FOCUS order system can do:

  • list all your ordered items together with your comments
  • keep items in shopping cart, so you can make your order continuously
  • comments system enabling more easy communication and follow up
  • replace or remove items from your shopping cart or order
  • calculate all Taobao fees and our commission
  • provide shipping information
  • store your shipping addresses, if you have several places to deliver Taobao items
  • and many more useful functions to really make your Taobao shopping easy, efficient and fun!

1. Get the access to order system

To be able to use our system, first you need to get your login information.
You should send a mail to login@taobaofocus.com with the following statement:
Subject: Login request
Message: “I want to buy from Taobao through Taobao FOCUS. Please send me login information to this email address. I certify that I have read, understood and agree to the Terms and Conditions of Taobao FOCUS provided at the following page: http://taobaofocus.com/terms-conditions”.

We normally send you login information within one day. With your login and password you can enter Taobao FOCUS order system (http://taobaofocus.com/order) and start ordering items from Taobao.

2. Submit your order for Taobao items

When you enter the order system for the first time, you will see the form where you should input Taobao item link, quantity and the comments such as size, color or any other specifications for Taobao item.

Important: you should input at least two alternative links for Taobao items in case the item you order is out of stock.
Later in order processing, if the item is not available, we will buy the item from first alternative link, and if this one is also not available, then we’ll buy from the second link.

If alternative items are more or less expensive than items input in the system, any price difference will be transferred to international shipping fees.

If you do not provide alternative links and the item is out of stock, it will be automatically canceled, money will be added to international shipping fees.

Taobao links
Each link should start with http://item.taobao.com/ …
Be careful, do not input links to the Taobao shops (i.e. 1234566.shop.taobao.com), incomplete links (be sure it starts with http://item.taobao.com/…) or links with spaces (there should not be any spaces before or inside the link).

3. Review your order before submitting

After you submitted items to your shopping cart, please review it carefully once again. Do not submit order if you are not sure about you are going to buy all of the items that you put in shopping cart. Check twice the quantity and specification for each item.
This is to avoid that you need to change your order several times. It will save your forces and our time.
So once again: please submit your order only when you have decided what you are going to buy from Taobao and this choice should be definitive.

Also before submitting order, you would need to add your shipping address with contact phone number. If you place several orders to be shipped to different addresses, you can add up to 4 different addresses.

Important notice: you should submit your order only when you do not have any questions related to our service, order process and international shipping.

Do not submit your order if:
- you cannot pay by Paypal, Moneybookers or with credit card,
- you didn’t estimate international shipping fees,
- you submit your desired items, though you plan to buy only several of them

Once you are done, you can go ahead and submit your order.

4. Order follow-up

To make order processing and follow-up faster and more efficient, we have established a simple order status descriptions.
When the order is submitted, it will get automatically a “pending” status.

There are other order status positions:

  • attention – your order requires attention (you should check our comments)
  • confirmed – order is confirmed, you can make first payment
  • payment received – we have received your first payment
  • ordered – we have ordered all the items
  • arrived – we have received all the items from your order at our warehouse
  • shipped – we have sent out the parcel to the address specified in your order
  • canceled – your order is canceled
  • processing – order is in process, sometimes we put this status for order requiring longer processing time

Sometimes there is a delay for updating order status, as we should gather all information together and then update the order status.
Anytime concerning “payment received” status: every time when you make payment with Paypal, you will receive a confirmation mail from Paypal stating your order number for Taobao items and amount paid. So you do not need to ask us, if we have received payment or not.

5. Order comments

For all communication regarding orders, you should use order comments which are at the bottom of each order page.

Please, keep in mind that “Live help” (online customer service) can only give you some information regarding our service, shipping and Taobao related questions, but customer service is not directly in charge of purchasing of Taobao items or order updates, thus, they cannot provide you such information.

If you have any question or request regarding your order, please write down your message in the order comment and you will receive a written reply (it will be also sent to your mail).

You have been waiting for past several weeks for resuming of our service. Yes, we know it was way long for some of you, but you will see it is worth it.

So what’s happened with Taobao FOCUS for past two months or so? And well, it is simple: we were busy with making your Taobao shopping experience even easier, simpler and faster. Now when we know more than anybody else about what you expect from a “Taobao agent” and how to meet your requirements. That is why we are launching today our brand new order system to buy from Taobao in English, and soon in Russian and French. If you do not see the changes, do not forget to refresh the page! In our next post we’ll give you more details about the system functions and order processing. You are invited to visit this page: http://taobaofocus.com/order to request your login access to the system and start buying now.

What’s next? Well, we think that a good Taobao agent should not only help to buy from Taobao, but also suggest, advise and bring a maximum information to the buyer about  shopping on Taobao, so Taobao FOCUS will provide you with more functions on our website. We think that you like to know what you will have to pay for your Taobao items and estimate the international fees, that is why you will see soon a very handy fees calculator to estimate your Taobao order price including international shipping fees. Also we know that you need to translate Taobao pages to get the items details before you buy them, that is why we prepare a new Taobao search function with English, French, Russian and other translation version that we hope you will appreciate a lot.

@ Taobao FOCUS, we guess you are curious to know what happened to us in past one month. So here is the story: when we were about to develop a new order system, both Paypal and Moneybookers decided to verify our operations. We should admit that it is somehow long process, but at least we’ve done it successfully. So you can continue to buy from Taobao with Paypal and Moneybookers and other options as usual. Comparing Paypal and Moneybookers, Moneybookers appeared more understanding and reactive than Paypal, but Paypal still remains simpler to use.

We also planned several new activities that we will introduce to you once it is ready to start.

In our next blog post, we will tell you more details about Taobao FOCUS order system, its functions and order processing. Subscribe to Taobao FOCUS blog feed to follow our next messages.
