01

Domestic Taobao tracking is not the same as international tracking.

02

International shipping should be quoted after all seller parcels arrive and final package data is known.

03

Restricted goods should be screened before choosing air, express, or sea routes.

Workflow

What to do next

  1. Send the Taobao product link or order details.
  2. Use the JTL warehouse as the receiving address or ask JTL to help purchase.
  3. Wait for seller parcels to arrive and review package photos.
  4. Consolidate packages and choose an international shipping route.

Before quoting

Details JTL should check

  • Packed carton weight and dimensions matter more than product listing weight.
  • The destination country, address type, and delivery deadline change the route recommendation.
  • Consolidation can reduce fragmented shipping when products come from several sellers or suppliers.
