Thank you Spud.



This morning this is what i got in my email. Agent informed me the shipping fee and also send me a picture.
So once i complete the payment, they will ship it ASAP.

I was thinking once everything is completed that i would write a report. But since there are few curious people, and i have enough
material i should update my post. As you know i've gone through the agent and if you read this post you are already familiar with.

The agent is
www.taobaotrends.com
I was thinking first testing them by buying one item, but then i changed my mind.



I've ordered 7 items. Most from this seller.

He has everything for Zong lzx200gy-2. Even a new Zong.
He also had cdi but i wasn't 100% sure.
Humanbeing posted another link of CDI and that's the one i used for 2 CDI i ordered. I would say it's best to order from one seller.

CDI's i ordered is from this seller

When the conversation is done through paypal, us dollar still stronger only by a slight bit.

Also to mention you can pay with credit/debit card through paypal. Also paypal and Western Union.
For people in Australia i think you can go to your local post office if you want to go through Western Union.
I don't know the fees they charge, but it's another option there.

The total gross weight is 2.94KGS, the shipping fee by EMS is USD48.01

Thank you for keeping us updated, Pliskin!

I see you ordered the following items.

Clutch Cable
Stator/Pickup Coil
Front Brake Pads
Regulator/Rectifier
Rear Sprocket
2 CDI Units

Is the total cost $91.57, including shipping, or is the $48.01 for shipping added to the total price?

I have been informed that items have been shipped, and they also gave me the tracking number for www.ems.com.cn
The english version of that website not loading at the moment. Will try later.

That's correct. So all up would be USD $140
And yes those are the items i have ordered.

[humanbeing]

The tracking pages

AND

[SpudRider]

That's a good deal, Pliskin. The same items would cost more if bought in the United States from Zongshen America, whose prices are very reasonable. Please keep us updated; I hope all your items arrive in good order.

I imagine the shipping costs from China to the United States would be higher than the shipping costs from China to Australia. However, it's always nice to have another option for buying Zongshen parts.

Please summarize for us. How difficult was the ordering process for you? How great was the language barrier? How long did it take from the time you ordered the parts, until the time they were shipped? :?:

I think so too. Especially when you can't find parts.

This is google image that shows distance to Sydney. But to US the distance is greater but not sure how would that translate
in price. Probably they have it on their website.

It's not that difficult. It's the preconsieved ideas that make it hard.
The hardest part which is not that hard is finding the part you want on taobao, that's it.

4 april (placed the order with taobaotrends)
9 april (agent recieves items from the seller)
10 april (shippment paid, they informed me it will be shipped that day i received the email plus tracking number confirming this)


This morning i checked again the tracking number on ems. Working fine. It's actually left for Sydney.


I didn't notice only later where green arrow is you can put your email so it will notify you automaticly no
need to check it yourself. I like that.

That seems to be well sorted. It would be wise for a US resident to buy a quantity of known Zong parts for resale this way.

[SpudRider]

Thanks for the detailed reply, Pliskin.

How well did your agent communicate with you in English? I don't think finding Zongshen parts on Taobao would be too difficult, especially if photographs of the parts were provided.

When I tried entering parts in the Taobao Trends website, it wouldn't accept the data. :roll: Did you have any trouble entering the urls for the parts you wanted at Taobao Trends? How many emails did you need to exchange with your agent before you were satisfied the business transaction would go well?

Are the parts being delivered by the Australian Postal Service? I am very interested to learn how well the parts are packaged, and if they arrive in good condition. Please do keep us updated!
