How to Buy Goods From Taobao and Ship Them to the US

Do you often miss the delicious food and familiar products from your hometown when you are in a foreign country? How to buy goods from Taobao and ship them to the United States? As China's largest online shopping platform, Taobao has a rich selection of goods and favorable prices, but for users overseas, the shopping and logistics process can be a bit complicated. This article will answer these questions in detail and provide practical solutions.

Can Taobao ship directly to the United States?

The answer is no. Taobao itself does not directly provide international shipping services, but you can ship goods to the United States through third-party forwarding companies. These companies will provide a delivery address in China. When you place an order on Taobao, you will send the goods to this address, and then the forwarding company will be responsible for shipping the goods to the United States.

How to pay for domestic shipping on Taobao?

When shopping on Taobao, sellers usually provide the option of domestic shipping. You can choose the courier service provided by the seller and pay the corresponding domestic shipping fee. If you use a forwarding company, they usually have a cooperative courier company, and the fee will be relatively favorable.

How much does it cost to air freight from China to the United States?

The air freight fee depends on the weight and volume of the package. There are a variety of shipping options from China to the United States, from air to sea. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, speed, and delivery time. Generally speaking, air freight is more expensive but faster. If you are not in a hurry to receive the goods, you can choose sea shipping, which will be relatively inexpensive. It is recommended to ask the forwarding company about their specific charges and shipping time when choosing a forwarding company.
