After all the parts arrive, I suggest you ask your agent to take photographs of all the items. In this manner you can confirm every part is correct. If you have any problems, you can resolve them with your agent before you complete your order.
After your order is completed to your satisfaction, the agent will pack all of your items in a single package. He will then present you with a shipping cost, which is your second, and final payment. After you submit your payment via PayPay, the agent will ship all your items to your home address. Shipping weights are recorded in grams. The shipping cost for the first 500 grams (1.1 pounds) is very costly. However, the low price of the actual items offsets this cost. The shipping charge for each additional 500 grams (1.1 pounds) is much less. If you want to keep your shipping costs low, don't order heavy items. I always figure it will cost about half as much to ship the items as the total cost of the items themselves.

At this point, you can request an additional shipping quote. Taobaotrends can offer quotes for EMS air mail and DHL for sure, and perhaps other methods.

Thank you, also
Thats good stuff also, and will come in handy, especially shipping info if I need some parts in a hurry for whatever reason (hopefully NOT though...can't imagine any good scenario I'd be in (personally) to need to do that, anyway.

As you can imagine, it is next to impossible to include all of the Taobao information in an introductory post. Therefore, I am counting on you, and other experienced Taobao customers, to post more good tips, and to help answer the questions which will surely arise as people start making their first purchases.
