Aliexpress → hk agent → yanwen

Does anyone know of any service that does this? You order from aliexpress, to HK (aliexpress doesn’t deliver within china it seems), you pay someone in HK a small fee and they will ship it to India through yanwen/epacket/singapore post or whatever is the cheapest..

Main purpose is to buy those itty bitty things that you can’t get here.. like sensors, spares

Delivo won’t ship below 1kg last I checked..and anyhow they charge minimum of 1400 or something.

Will those forwarders listed on alibaba do this?

For such small stuff, just use a chinese agent and ship it directly.

Superbuy is good for that, they have a HK warehouse too but I don’t recall if it’s any good. Plus they have like a EUB-HZ line which is really cheap and often used for non electrical appliances and stuff. Imho, you can get the items on aliexpress at a cheaper rate if you install taobao instead, just login using a burner google account.

Top up on superbuy can be done using alipay, which combined with a forex free card, you’re basically getting the google rate

Decent guide on setting up alipay

Delivo is getting more expensive for newer customers, new warehouse rates are going to be 1650/kg from the new year, plus that round off rule to the next .5 kg

Fashionsoles is still an alternate option, ignoring the name, he does FF too

Thanks for responding.

How does one get a contact of said agent? have you used any? will they ship via yanwen/chinapost etc?

Got to know about that site few hours ago from a reddit post. Google and the site itself says its a parcel forwarder(doesn’t sell anything) but has a searchbar and everything, on searching through the site I get a results page with two sections “1688” (alibaba for chinese domestic market?) and “xianyu” (chinese 2nd hand market?). Clicking on most products,you’re met with a “failed to get product information” message. tried putting an aliexpress link on there but same result.

install taobao instead, just login using a burner google account.

Can’t search without logging in, login option- only phone/sms OTP, no google account option. Couldn’t find the app on playstore either, (banned along with aliexpress?) when I search for it, this is what I’m getting:
