The Taobao app has scores of promotions you can snatch to make the most of your buys. No matter if you size up or down, big savings are guaranteed with Taobao and Tmall’s exclusive benefits for Singapore users, including sitewide hongbaos, free cross-border shipping, and easy and free returns.
In addition, they’ve also just launched their new official Direct Delivery services, which means you can now pay for both your items and shipping fees in one go, instead of in tranches where you’d have to wait for parcels to be consolidated first in a warehouse in China before paying the shipping fees.
