Well, I don't think the word BAG802AI actually was used in my own thread heheh. Lets see, I think I got mine for around < $100 USD at the time of the exchange rate. After one year of use, some of the material is beginning to show a bit of fuzz but other than that, it's good.
i have this bad, but not the jp one i believe (bought it from uk) Very nice bag, nice when new, but mine is getting dirty. Good compartments etc
Hey tckang, Really tempted by your bag! Too nice la! Just wondering how does taobao.com work. Does he do delivery to overseas customer? Really need help asking as my cheena ain't so good. Thanks in advance!
Just sharing, you just need to send them an enquiry and from there on communicate with him via MSN or QQ. Usually they will ship to oversea buyer but the buyer will bear the shipping cost and the transfer fee where applicable. GST u also need to take into account if exceed SGD400. There is some risk but if you could source for reputable seller then it should be fine. The package is sent by EMS with tracking number and handle by Speedpost in Singapore. You can trace ur package in EMS China website and once it arrive it Singapore, trace it in Speedpost website. FYI, Speedpost is suck, no advance notification will be given prior arrive at ur place. You need to wait at home till they are arrive at your door step. Hope this help you.
Hi there, Thanks and glad you like tha bag. It is quite hard for you to buy from Taobao as you need to open a taobao account (free of charge) but normally they need a local Chinese bank account. The other method will be to bank remittance (from overseas). Basicallt taobao do not accept credit cards or paypal. As for shipment, louislkw has mentioned them clear enough above. For this particular shop (where i bought my bag) he is normally quite reluctant to ship overseas. But you can try. Another alternative will be to buy it from shuttle house, which are easier http://shuttle-house.com/PAGE_top_E.html Good luck
thanks louis for the info! Am pretty familiar with Speedpost and yup, agree with u on their service level! Alright, will contact him then. Hmm... in that case most probably i will have to get my friend in Beijing to help. I wonder how much it would cost to ship the bag to Singapore!
I don't know of a list, but tckang has generously shared his 'supplier from taobao. Shd be trustworthy as he knows the supplier personally.
Shipping cost from China is a bit expensive than US. You can refer to this website for the shipping charge. First 0.5kg is RMB190 and subsequent 0.5kg increment is RMB45. http://www.ems.com.cn/serviceguide/e-zi-fei-biao-zhun.html
You are welcome and we are just sharing. Singapore badminton product especially grip getting expensive. Need to look for other alternative with the cheapest price.
does that guy open a shop somewhere in Beijing? he seems to have a mouthwatering collections of Yonex stuff from Japan. btw, where do u play in Beijing? I usually play in UIBE
Haha he currently is planning to open his physical store in Beijing in Feb 2010, after CNY. The one you mention i think it's Yoger, the other guy, who has a shop and web in Beijing. I played in a club at "Yang Guang" in San Yuan Li area on Tues, Thurs, and Sat, and in Beite at Shu Kuang Li area on Friday. PM me if you are interested, just social badminton play
no, I don't know who Yoger is. just wondering whether ur friend has a physical shop. great to hear that he's opening one next year. I currently go to bbeshop for my supply. I've looked through ur friend's taobao shop. his collection is awesome. His SHB 65CF (690 RMB) is a lot cheaper than bbeshop (850 RMB). Now I'm saving money to get a bag like yours I'm just playing weekly at my university, UIBE. I'll pm u if i have the time to go out and play at your place. btw you're Malaysian rite?
Yeah i am a Malaysian 100% original . How about you? In my club here there are a few foreigners like me, including Indonesian. Yeah his taobao shop collection is aweseom and his original JP stuff are cheaper than shuttle-house too. But i am surprise you said his stuff is cheaper than BBE shop. Which BBE shop did you go? I normally go to the new one (open in August) in GuoMao. I got my SP version AT900T at BBE for only RMB1150, which i thought it reasonable. But JP Yonex stuff? The only one that is guaranteed original and in wide selection of choice has to be that guy in Taobao. Can't wait for his Beijing' physical shop to open.......
I'm Indonesian I go to the BBE shop in Wei Gong Cun (http://www.bbeshop.com/en/). I think only the SHB65CF is more expensive than the Taobao guy (it's 820 RMB,not 850, but still more expensive)．The price for AT900 there is around the same I think. I don't know there is a BBE shop in Guomao, where is it located?
