There are 3 ways which you can ship your items to your address from Taobao. The table below is a summary of types of shippers on Taobao.

Shipping Options	Recommended?	Reasons
Taobao's own shipping	Not Recommended	Fees they charge might be exorbitant, and this is definitely not the most economic method to ship your itemsm especially if you are buying items from multiple shops. When you choose this option, Taobao ships the item directly to you after they receive the item at their shipping warehouse from the sellers, which means that Taobao charges you per item shipped, and the cost of shipping of each item depends on the item's weight as well.
Mass items shipping	Recommended	Consolidate your items at a mass shipper's warehouse, where you can choose which items to ship when they arrive at the warehouse. This option allows you to ship several items at once, and you will be charged based on how heavy your items are. There is a size limit of 1m by 1m by 1m for air shipping, and a maximum of 30kg. You can store items at the warehouse for a maximum of 20 days, after that, you will be charged for every day your item continues to be stored at the warehouse. Shippers usually deliver to your doorstep, or at a collection point specified by you. Sea shipping is for massive items such as furniture, and items that cannot be shipped by air, such as power banks, magnets etc. You can store big items at sea shipping warehouses for a maximum of 10 days.
Taobao seller shipping directly to you	Not Recommended	Shipping costs will be very high, and most Taobao sellers do not ship to overseas customers directly on their own, to avoid the hassle of dealing with overseas couriers.
