Year: 2022

Slower Response Time During the Holiday Season

The year-end season is upon us! This is a hectic period, so I apologise that myself and my proxies will not be able to process orders and check our emails as often as usual. From now until the first week of the new year, please allow us up to 3 working days to respond to each email. Unfortunately, we are unable to tend to urgent orders or time-critical holiday / Christmas sale offers.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support and trust in us. May you enjoy the rest of the year and look forward to a better 2023! Happy Holidays!

Status: Taiwan Shopping Service Back from Hiatus

Update: 7 Dec 2022

Thanks for waiting! After dabbling with some new transaction platforms, my Taiwan shopping service is ready to accept new orders. There will be no changes to current payment methods. However, orders placed from today will be subject to the revised service fees stated on my Taiwan Shopping Service fee page as a result of increased platform payment fees. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Update: 10 Nov 2022

The bank is still unwilling to lift the limits to receive foreign funds. So I can’t accept new orders, as I have to reserve the limits for orders that are currently open with me.

In the meantime, my proxy and I are figuring out other ways to handle payments. Once we can establish a reliable payment method between the both of us, I’ll be able to accept new orders. But for now, I can’t process new orders anytime soon, so please consider looking for another shopping service. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update: 3 Nov 2022

I’ve temporarily stopped accepting new orders for my Taiwan Shopping Service. Due to a recent surge in high-value orders, the bank is investigating the influx of foreign payments into the bank account and those foreign payments can’t be used until their investigation is complete. I’m not sure how long this will take, so I have to temporarily stop accepting new orders. Shipments will not be affected and all purchased items can be shipped out as per normal.

If you don’t mind waiting, you can still email me your order and I’ll get back to you once I’m able to make payments again. Sorry about the inconvenience caused!

Hey everyone, thought I’d make a pinned post here to inform everyone about my activity status, which some people came to associate with the recency of my blog posts. I don’t update the blog anymore since I realise I actually haven’t got time to blog regularly. This is still a side-hustle and I have another day job. But rest assured that I am checking my emails almost every day. If I’m on a break, it will be reflected on this page and I will set up an auto-reply as well. Thank you for reaching out and I always look forward to helping you with your orders.

Cheers,
Angie

Free storage period lengthened for China / Japan shopping service

Hi friends,

Shipping restrictions and lockdowns have resulted in shipping delays, or even made it temporarily impossible to ship out parcels by air to certain countries. Fortunately, many warehouses have extended their free storage period, so you don’t have to worry about paying for storage if you happen to be one of those countries affected by border restrictions.

For my Taobao / China and Japan shopping service, non-perishable items can be stored for free for up to 6 months (180 days) from the time your purchase arrives at the warehouse. After 6 months, your purchases may be disposed of if shipping arrangements are not made.

For Taiwan shopping service, storage policies remain unchanged. There’s no charge for storage, and there isn’t a specific deadline for storage period, but the consolidation location is a residential house, not a warehouse. The faster you can have your items shipped, the better.

My New Email Address

Hello friends, because Google is charging for workspace gmails (domain emails) from June, I’ve started to shift away from using it, and my new email address is [email protected] . I have not gotten around to personally informing everyone yet, but for those with open orders with me, I did not forget your order and you do not have to do anything except wait for my update. Of course, if you wish to contact me, you may use the new email address, and I will still be checking my old email until the day it shuts down.

Thank you!
