I have a parcel from Guangzhou to HK, about 3 kgs, dimension 35x23x20(L X W X H), they quoted delivery charge RMB 23
As of today, I got following three parcels received by the Guangzhou consolidator. I advised him those tracking#'s and he confirmed receipt after checking. And I told him that there would be one more parcel arriving next week (as I will place order by this Sunday to get rid of the peak period due to the Double 11 campaign this week). Once the last parcel reaches the consolidator, I will contact him to quote price on Taobao for me to make payment. If you pay before 21:00, the parcel will reach HK in the next day. It's easy!

If you ship the above individually from mainland to HK via SF, you will have to pay at least 35x3 = 105. But if you use consolidator and vendors offer free shipping to Guangzhou, you just need to pay the delivery charge from Guangzhou to HK. First 1 kg is HKD14, the next 1 kg is $4.50. Let say if the above three parcels are within 3 kgs, I just need to pay HKD23.
How you use them? You need to sign up with them? If you need to contact them with instructions it seems a bit complicated.
No need to sign with them, just communicate via “wong wong“. You can put things in basket first, when you want them to be shipped to HK, place orders on the same day so that goods will arrive the consolidator in 2 or 3 days. Once the last parcel reaches them, you can give them all tracking#' and arrange delivery.
Just consolidated five parcels to Hong Kong. Total 7 kg, delivery cost RMB 41. Settled payment via Taobao by 6:30pm today, expect to receive the parcel by tomorrow.

Then click 'pay' and ask him to revise the amount. So easy! He will dispatch the parcel to Hong Kong tonight, and I will get it by tomorrow afternoon in MongKok. My friend's office is in Wanchai, she always receive parcel in the next morning. So efficient!
