Taobao has recently launched a “big apparel global free shipping program”. Currently, some top taobao sellers have been invited to join the program.
From August 1, the first period of this program covering Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other Asian regions.
Specific free shipping threshold are: Hong Kong 99 yuan, Macau 49 yuan, Taiwan 99 yuan, Singapore 249 yuan, Malaysia 199 yuan and South Korea 249 yuan.
To the end of the year, This program will expand from Asia to Australia, and then gradually open 200 + countries and regions.
This program supports regular men’s and women’s apparel, sports and outdoor apparel, shoes, bags and accessories, children’s shoes and other fashion category.
Taobao has also launched a local return service: local returns are available in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea now.
My opinion: Taobao Group has been hit by temu and tiktok and now they are fighting them through Taobao and 1688.
This is good for overseas buyers.
If you are an e-commerce seller, this means it will be easier for you to buy from Taobao and 1688.
