Did ya'll get the email?
The tao-bao think is so confusing to me. Did anybody use that method?
I'll probably be using that method, though I'm awaiting Victor's response (or changing of the shipping fee if I'm on the right page).
I'll update back if I successfully manage to pay for shipping via "method B".
Hi, I've just paid for my shipping via Method B, and this is roughly how it goes:
Taobao:
1. Click on the Taobao link that Victor emailed to you.
2. Add the item to cart by clicking "加入购物车". Make sure you're only buying "1" quantity.
3. Click on "去购物车结算" to go to your shopping cart.
4. Select the checkbox on the left of the item, and click on "结 算" to settle the order.
5. Check the box "我会自行联系卖家寄送至海外收货地址" (I will contact seller for shipping to overseas address), and then click on "提交订单" to submit order to Trianglelab's Taobao storefront.
Make sure to add the information Victor specifies in his email into the field next to "给卖家留言:" (comments to seller) .
6. You should be redirected to an Alipay page. Do
not confirm any order on the Alipay page yet, as Victor would need to change the amount payable to the correct price based on your shipping address. I sent him an email confirming that I just sent him an order via Taobao, and he responded with a picture showing my new shipping cost (130rmb).
Alipay7. Go to the Alipay website (it was
https://my.alipay.com/portal/i.htm for me).
8. Click on the "查看所有交易记录" button (view all transactions).
9. You should see an item titled "TR60 Group Buy International Shipping Fee Special Links". Click on the button next to the date stating "付款" (payment). The other items in the drop down list are for refunding, viewing remarks, viewing detailed information, and deleting the transaction.
10. Fill in credit card info, and then submit payment. I didn't take a picture of this page, but it should be a red button close to the bottom right.
