Dropshipping is a popular business model which you can start without having to spend as much capital. It is the perfect opportunity, especially for young entrepreneurs, to start their online business without the hassle of maintaining inventory. Small businesses can also incorporate dropshipping methods to their existing online business and enjoy the ease of having the supplier or third-party fulfill the order for you. Taobao dropshipping may not be as popular compared to aliexpress when it comes to this type of business strategy due to a number of factors like:
- Language barrier. Most Taobao sellers have very limited English. Good communication is a must with your supplier if you want to have a successful dropshipping business.
- Less to zero experience in international logistics. Most Taobao sellers do not have experience in international logistics.
- The difficulty of finding suppliers who can support your Taobao dropshipping business.
But great thing, there are reliable dropshipping agents in China who can help you. You need someone who has completed countless international transactions and can offer you many shipping options. Because of the volume of transactions they make, they normally get discounts from their partner couriers, and in turn, will benefit you by way of lower shipping costs. Taobao Age. is perfect example of a Taobao Agent which supports Taobao dropshipping.
What is Taobao?
Taobao.com is the most popular marketplace in China where you can find a wide variety of products at very low prices. There is a reason it is named Taobao. In Chinese, it means looking for treasures. Indeed, it is like a gold mine of shops for many shoppers like yourself.
Set your location to Mainland China
In looking for products to sell from Taobao, you need to set your location to Mainland China to have more access to sellers and products at low prices. As we said earlier, most sellers do not have the capability to deal with international customers, so most likely they will be part of the pack of sellers targeting Mainland China shoppers only. Moreover, they already have a huge market in Mainland China alone, as Taobao is the no. 1 online platform in China. On the other hand, sellers in world taobao are able to handle international transactions, but the downside is they normally charge higher prices than their local counterparts.

It will be cost effective for you to collect more links in a single order, or in a separate order, then we combine them in a single package to ship as one, such that the shipping price will be commensurate for the purchased products.

Good day,
I want to start a dropshipping business here in the Philippines and I’m curious as to how long does it usually take to get a package from china to the Philippines (through taobaoage)? Other suppliers take 30-50 days and I think this is just too long. Since TaobaoAge knows more than most of the suppliers about logistics, I’m hoping it’d be shorter.
Thank you.
Dear Customer,
We purchase the products within 24 hours upon confirmation of your first payment, except on Saturdays and Sundays, where sellers don’t normally respond to requests and inquiries. Once your orders reach our warehouse usually it takes from 3 to 5 working days, we will prepare and send you the Final Bill.
The time for your order to arrive is affected by the following factors:
– Order quantity
– Number of shops
– The speed of the seller to send us the products
– Payment method
– Shipping method
– Your location
– Seasonal traffic
Due to these, we cannot give a definite time for arrival of your orders.
Under normal circumstances, it takes 13-30 working days for your orders to arrive in your address from time of request.
Best Regards

Hi, I’m really interested in dropshipping from Taobao. I have a lot of experience shopping in Taobao and I managed to understand the order and payment process through Alipay even though I’m not chinese. Communicating with the agents can be frustrating and too time consuming and I had to use google translate even when it’s not 100% accurate we could barely understand each other. I wanted to learn how the “warehouse storage” of Taobao works to consolidate all your items to ship them together but I still just couldn’t understand how it works. The problem with Taobao is there are no plug-ins that support the site like how Oberlo plug-in supports Shopify to integrate with each other making everything extremely easy with no coding or any kind of process. With just one click you can automatically add all the products and inventory of an item in Aliexpress to your Shopify shop. It’s only a matter of time till somebody will make a plugin to integrate products in Taobao to your shop with just a click. But I might give this a try once I finish setting up my shop. My only concern is the rates of your service, there are so many fees aside from shipping and service that I lost track and I’m worried that I might end up overspending. Can you please breakdown all the fees here for me? Shipping to US, You service, logo? etc. and other fees that might be hidden. I would like to know how much in total I am going to spend using taobaoAge.
Dear Customer
– We charge 5% for our Services with no minimum fee & order quantity. It includes storage, consolidation, drop shipping service, etc.
– We will bill you twice for our service. First for buying the product & second for domestic and international shipping. We provide below the cost components in the respective bill.
First Bill consists of the Product Price + Our Service Fee.
Our service fee is computed as 5% of Product Price.
Second Bill is for local shipping and international shipping. Once we have confirmed your payment, we will ship your package according to your chosen shipping method.
Local Shipping is based on seller’s price, to deliver your products to our warehouse.
– To attach your logo to the parcel instead of our logo ( 50 USD cost of printing 500 stickers)
– For shipping prices and terms you can refer to this link https://taobaoage.com/costcalculator

You are not a dropshipper, you are a buying agent. BIG BIG difference. You can never be a dropshipper with shipping prices that high.
So I went to https://taobaoage.com/costcalculator
I understand that you have to pay a local delivery service to deliver goods to your warehouse, so this raises the total price of shipping to the USA. You cannot position yourself as a dropshipper if your delivery charges/costs are that high.
You charge over $13 USD for a small 0.1 killogram package to the USA. That’s 5 times too high for a retailer to dropship and make healthy profit on sales to feed his family. $3.50 maximum. Anything higher and it cannot be financially feasible.
Hello dear,
1. Our service designed to be cost-effective for expensive items need to check, many items need to pack in one parcel.
2. Please be informed that the shipping price for the first 500 grams is expensive compared to the price of every 500 grams after.
It will be cost effective for you to collect more links in a single order, or in a separate order, then we combine them in a single package to ship as one, such that the shipping price will be commensurate for the purchased products.

I just use the calculator to have a simple math, say if I ship 1 products, the shipping will be already 23.2, is that in CNY or US?
Dear Customer
The prices is shown in USD currency
A low-value amount of orders from China is not cost-effective as the shipping prices for the first 500 grams in all shipping companies for any country are higher than the next 500 gram.
So, to benefit from the order, we require our customers to have a $100 (645 CNY ) minimum amount of order before the purchase can proceed. You may combine all your orders until the threshold is met.

I ask you something
For example, How much does it cost to send this product to the United States?
by cheapest shipping method…
– Suitcase : 66*41*29cm, 4.2kg, 1ea
– Item Cost : $30
I wonder if Taobao is more competitive than AliExpress.
Dear customer,
We cannot give the exact amount of shipping cost before purchasing. Once your orders arrive in our warehouse, we assemble them in one carton. Then we weigh the parcel.
But you can estimate and checking prices for all shipping companies by going here:
