Hey guys, just want to share my experience. I have tried various taobao agents before and they charge by volumetric weight. I understand that they don't pass down VIP saving or free gifts that they are entitled to. I was introduced to "aibidding.com" a month back. The way they work is slightly different from the rest. Goes something like this: 1) Buy from taobao and courier to their china warehouse 2) Pay using visa/mastercard. 3) claim goods on their website and wait. I got my stuff, after claiming, in 4 working days. They charge by actual weight. Buys Among other stuff, I got 2 beanbags from taobao at CNY 204 a piece. Volumetric was supposed to be 102kg per beanbag but I was charged the actual weight of 5kg. Looking to get a sofa from taobao as well. Anyone can advise on what to look out for? I already know the basics of the seller's ratings and consumers' comments (provided Google Chrome's translation service is accurate).
