Is it possible to buy items from China and get it shipped to a Chinese address?
Tobao isn't even loading, jd needs an account with Chinese number.
There's a guy coming from China to Chennai and i want to buy a few small items.

Yes. I have done that at least 4-5 times. But I was buying from alibaba as cannot really use taobao. I ask seller for the stuff i want, he creates order and ships to my mentioned address and I get it to India via a freight forwarder or my friend.

I am part of a lepin (fake lego) group and one guy even contacted a freight forwarder on alibaba itself, started a WhatsApp chat between the fake lego seller and freight forwarder and got his stuff shipped from fake lego seller to FF and it was delivered to India in under a week.
Granted it is was all plastic items so customs was charges on the (under)invoiced value of nearly $20 (package weight was 30 kgs).
