Taobao! Also known as the best e-shopping mall in the whole China. I've been craving to buy stuffs from there since years ago but I find it very annoying with & without an agent to help me.
Now, you may find many agents to help you buy from there to here but it maybe cost-y and risky. You might fall onto the wrong hands, like cheated by them or they ruined your stuff and you'll never get your refunds back.
Basically, the ways how it works is:
1. You choose your items
2. You send the link(s) to them [via email or on that particular website]
3. You pay the money and they'll buy for you
4. You wait
5 You get it.
The calculating is usually like this:
([Your Item's price] + [Fast delivery in China] ) divide by 2 and times 1.1
= Your item's total price
Note that most of them do charge you service fees.
And then there's another 'equation'
Shipping rates are usually RM10 per kg or RM 1 per 100g. So:
[your item's total price] + RM1/100g = your total
Then you still have your local delivery service to pay for.
[your total] + local delivering fee(such as poslaju, skynet, Ta-Q-Bin, etc)
But let's get to the point of this post.
Me and my friends bought stuffs together and we bought all this last month.

Me and my friends bought stuffs together and we bought all this last month.
So this was what I got that day when it arrived. I kinda ordered it on March 13? So it took me about a month to come.
So these are the products. They were actually opened to be checked by the agents. Which is somehow cool.
My friend loves rubik cube and he ordered this. I thought about giving it a try but after I opened it and it almost fell out of my palm, I felt a mini heart attack just occurred and this thing was SUPER SMOOTH. It cannot be compared by those rubik cubes that you can buy at the price of RM10.

COOL RIGHT?
Imagine buying all these in Malaysia. You will find yourself already reach RM100 in less than 5 items.
So I learnt a lesson that, go to the retail store to check out the items and then buy online. Yay~
And it saves you A LOT. Believe me.
