Consolidated Shipping by Personal Carry – On: Having Relatives or Friends Bring Goods from Taobao and Alibaba Abroad
If you have relatives or friends traveling from China to your overseas location, consolidated shipping by personal carry – on is a simple and straightforward method. First, after purchasing goods on Taobao and Alibaba, send the goods to the relatives or friends who are going abroad. After receiving the goods, your relatives or friends will sort and consolidate the packages according to the baggage allowance regulations and place the goods properly in their luggage. After arriving abroad, they will deliver the goods to you.
When using consolidated shipping by personal carry – on, it is essential to be well – informed about the regulations of airlines and customs in various countries regarding items allowed in checked and carry – on baggage, such as weight and size limits, as well as lists of prohibited and restricted items. Avoid fines or confiscation due to exceeding limits or carrying prohibited items. Ensure that the goods are firmly packaged to prevent damage during luggage handling. Also, considering the limited luggage space of your relatives or friends, choose goods rationally to avoid imposing excessive burden on them. In addition, if the value of the carried goods is high, it is advisable to declare them to the customs in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by non – declaration.
