Haven't use EZbuy for a long while. Shopee is very aggressive and gaining market share. EZbuy may not survive this onslaught.

Just this week I started using TB again for some items that couldn't be found in Shopee.

True. Ezbuy definitely weaker than its heyday.

But actually based on the parcels i see at the shop i collect at. Still quite ok business bah.

And while shopee etc has a lot of stuff, actually half the stuff i see cannot be shipped to SG location even via TB internal forwarders.

want to buy some accessories for my pressure washer, search shopee and then aliexpress.

it seems shopee has mostly lower price parts, i think they compete at the low end, but not necessary cheaper. In the end, bought from aliexpress, but I know their delivery takes a longer time. if i'm buying more general stuffs, then i buy from shopee.

Shopee is the default locally. But i still like to shop on taobao. The sky is the limit there.

I just let TB ship direct (直送)for a few dollars less headache. Now some items they send for free if the order (from different shops) exceeds 299 RMB. Just ordered car cover and bicycle covers bulky items among other stuff very worth it.

i don't mind direct. But find more stuff nowadays can't direct ship as compared to 2 years ago.

I understand aliexpress is taobao in english. Unfortunately, my limited chinese is not good enough to shop there. [:p]

Actually chinese characters gives me a headache.

So no choice but to shop at aliexpress.

Guess we all sucked at the Chinese language. I for one can speak but can’t read and write. E8 for second language for O levels.😢

I always recalled a science student during my o level where she broke down and wept over her Chinese language result. She was utterly disappointed with herself. 

 

 

 

 

She got a A2.
