Buying goods in China through taobao and the delivery service DHL, UPS?

Question

Uninterruptable power source

Hello.
I would like to buy a couple of gizmos at a Chinese auction. I contacted the seller, asked him to send the goods either by UPS or DHL, to which he replied that I cannot receive goods from China as an individual and they can only send the package to a company that has the right to import the goods. Here is literally “You should have a company to receive it and this company must have import right, Then can ship by UPS”
Who can tell me what this all means? How can I be in this situation? About DHL, the same thing ... Is it really now impossible to send through these companies to individuals?

Answer 1

Excuse me, but how did you even buy something on Taobao? There is neither Cyrillic nor Latin... :(
But in fact: shipito has a service in China - write to them, buy at their address, and they will come to you.

Answer 2

The problem is that in the summer a memorable decree was issued that Russia-Ukraine-Belarus was concluding a joint customs agreement ...
Yes, yes, the one that allowed 1000 dollar parcels a month to be received!
The crap is that if earlier there were points about other courier services, then in the current version - couriers were in flight and the only "express" delivery was only the state EMS!
As a result, DHL and others got sick of the fact that they always sent extreme troubles with customs: when working with organizations, customs clearance after arriving in Russia is on the conscience of a legal entity, with a license.
According to another version, these are the consequences of last year's "New Year's BUMsik", when a bunch of parcels were stuck due to customs, both by regular mail and EMS sent, as well as by DHL and the rest.
And if mail and EMC don’t give a damn about complaints from a high tower: they stupidly prescribed that they don’t guarantee NO TERMS AT ALL for international shipments, then for real COURIER services this doesn’t work, because. trust in them consists, incl. and for the most part from GUARANTEED terms ...
Well, so that there were no nit-picking on terms - we decided not to get involved at all until the situation settled down ...
In general - IMHO, but there is a combination of the first and second ...
And in the red - as always, we you!

Answer 3

Well, write the address "Vasya Company LTD, Yourhome street address, for Vasya Pupkin" and say that this company has the right to import. They probably won't check.

Answer 4

Need to arrange to send as a gift.

Answer 5

google chrome in conjunction with google translate to help. Why do I need shipito? I don’t need an address in China, the seller will send me to Russia anyway, but the question with the company hung ...

Answer 6

There is a problem with ups and dhl. I order delivery by Chinese mail, there have never been any complaints.

Answer 7

I probably wouldn't take anything there.
Almost everything that I took ended up breaking.
One disappointment.
It is safe to take Chinese-made products only from well-known brands.

Answer 8

Why don't you like Ebay, PandaWill, Dealextreme, etc. As a rule, there are the same goods, well, maybe a little more expensive. Although, of course, not everything is there, but you can find an analogue
