Most people who use Taobao would have used a system where products are shipped to Korea via a delivery port, but recently, a system has been created that allows products to be shipped directly to Korea depending on the product store. Today, we are going to take a look at how to use Taobao direct delivery.

Taobao direct delivery and combined delivery
Direct delivery
Shipping costs are paid in advance, and although the shipping cost is a bit expensive, the product is shipped domestically as soon as it arrives at the warehouse.
Combined shipping
Items purchased by multiple buyers are combined into one box and shipped. Once the items arrive at the warehouse, the items are weighed and shipping fees are paid.
Based on the initial weight, 17 yuan is charged for every 0.5 kg, and 8 yuan is charged for every 0.5 kg.

Advantages of Taobao direct delivery
Delivery is fast
When using a shipping address, the seller delivers the product to the shipping address, checks and inspects it at the shipping address, then ships it and receives it domestically. It varies depending on the customs clearance date, but it usually takes about 7 to 14 days, whereas direct delivery usually receives it within a week. I think I’ll see it.
Cancellation is possible
Cancellation is possible before the seller ships the product, and the shipping fee will also be refunded at a certain rate.

The price is cheaper than using a shipyard.
If you use a delivery address, an additional fee will be added depending on inspection and options, but in the case of direct delivery, you can use the cheaper domestic courier service price.
Automatic imitation prevention
Taobao itself refuses to deliver imitation products, so you don’t have to worry about imitation products.

Disadvantages of Taobao direct delivery
Returns are difficult
When using delivery, when the product arrives at the warehouse, a basic inspection is performed to determine whether the product is defective and a return is possible. However, in the case of direct delivery, the return process is difficult even if the product is defective.
Products are not diverse
There is still not a wide variety of direct delivery products. Some electronic devices, food, chemical products, etc. cannot be delivered, and for other general products, there are not many products that can be delivered directly.
Conclusion of direct delivery from Taobao stores
As the number of direct buyers is increasing, delivery methods have also been upgraded a lot. The pros and cons of using delivery and direct delivery are clear, so there doesn’t seem to be a particular point as to which is better.
If I were in doubt about the quality of the product, I would use a safe delivery method. If the product was not likely to be significantly defective or the product was cheap even considering the defects, I would use direct shipping.
