- Once you've checked the details & description , and verify that you want to add the item to your cart ; select the options beside the main image and click " Add to Cart " .
- The image below is how your cart should look like ( I'm using my account with some orders from a friend ) after you've chosen the items you want to buy :
- Let's say this is your cart .
Product name -> The item that you've added into cart .
Seller -> The name of the seller .
Warehouse -> The warehouse that you've chosen .
Method -> Method of shipping to Singapore .
Domestic Shipping -> Cost in RMB for items to be sent from seller to Daigou warehouse .
Unit Price -> Price of item .
Qty -> Number of that item you'll be purchasing .
Subtotal -> Unit Price + Domestic Shipping . The price above is in RMB , the price in the brackets is in SGD .
Insurance -> Please REMEMBER to click this icon . This helps to " buy insurance " for that item so that you'll get the maximum refund IF the items are lost . This insurance will cost a few cents in SGD per item ; but paying a few cents is better than losing dollars !
Edit -> The notebook & pencil icon is for you to edit the options you've chosen . The stop icon is to delete the item from the cart .
Checkbox -> Check the item that you want to pay for ; click the checkbox circled in red in the image above if you want to pay for all items in your cart .
- After confirming all the details are correct , you can proceed to checkout .
The example below will be if you have something SPECIFIC to look for .
Let's say you want to look for .. bracelets ( rather generic , you can further specify ) .
- Use Google Translate to get the Chinese words for the item . Bracelets = 手镯 .
- Click the Daigou tab & you'll see a search box . Copy and paste the Chinese words into the search box and click " search taobao " .
- The image below will be what will pop up . Just do the same as the description above !
IF the item you want to buy is from Taobao :
- Items in Taobao are NOT part of Daigou . However , you CAN use Daigou to buy them using the EZBUY function .
- Let's say you want to buy Craftholic from Taobao ( I'm getting mine :X ) . It's all in Chinese ! OH NO .
- Leave this tab on , and go to Daigou .
- At the top of Daigou , there is the following EZBUY function .
- Copy & paste the link of the item you want from Taobao into this and click EZBUY . The image below will pop up . Using the information in Taobao , proceed to fill in the blanks . Then , hit " Submit " .
- The image below will pop up . Then , just click checkout , or the X button to close it .
Checking out & submitting payment .
- I'm going to show you how to check out and submit your payment . In this example , I'll be helping a friend to submit two of her items from the shopping cart .
- Check the boxes of the items that you want to submit , the total amount will be shown . I've used Paint to cover the other items of my friend's orders .
- Click checkout and the image below will pop up , then click Submit to confirm the shipping Warehouse & method .
- The image below is the final confirmation . Once the items have been confirmed , they will redirect you for payment .
Prepay -> Items that may have been refunded / bought at cheaper price and they refund you .
- Click " Pay Now " when you're ready to make payment .
- The image below is telling you that you have to make payment .
- The page would be redirected to the image below , and just make your payment according to the instructions . I'll proceed to do my payment via ibanking .
NOTE : They'll require your transaction reference , so DO NOT throw the receipt / exit once you've transferred !
- After making your payment , type the transaction reference into the transaction number ; then click " Confirm and Submit " .
Minimum Payable Amount -> Total amount to pay - Prepay balance
Other amount -> Use this if you want to pay MORE than your current orders ; ie . Like topping up the balance of ezlink before spending .
- After which , the image below will appear . Then , click " Okay " and you'll be redirected to your account .
TIP : If you're paying by Ibanking , just scroll down and select the bank that you're paying with . They will open a new window to the bank , which means you don't have to open it yourself XD
The rest of the procedures / status can be found in your account . Just spend a little time to explore it !
