YAY!! This last post is the last of the Taobao series (and in my opinion, the most important) before my actual Taobao haul! (I'm not sure if I'm gonna do a video haul or not yet!)

What I'll cover in this post:
1) Second payment (for shipping to you)
2) What to do if you want to change shipping!
3) How to pay for shipping
Going right into this, if you remember from where we left off in Part 2, we were waiting for my last items to arrive from Bhiner! I went and saw they arrived on March 12th (around 4 am Central Time for me), and immediately set to pay it right then and there!~
Initially, I chose DHL for my shipping method! But when all my items arrived and got weighed the shipping price was super expensive! (DHL ups the price if there is a brand name item in your package and also goes by volume weight which is heavier than weight alone)!
I got really freaked when I saw the price for the shipping, so I decided to ask Bhiner to change my shipping method!!~ Luckily, they have a Skype account!! I sent a request to friend them and they accepted it literally seconds after I requested it c: Then I asked them to change my shipping method (yes, it's allowed!) and they asked for my order number~
After I asked it took a few minutes for them to go into my account and change my shipping method c: When they did they told me and I went right into paying!
The payment process for the second payment is actually quite similar to the first!
Instead of DHL, I chose EMS because it was cheaper and the price is dependent on the package's actual weight c:~ Anyways, you add money to your Bhiner account from the amount that is shown in the photo above c:! (Ah..I didn't mark out the price on this so you can seea good estimate of the shipping cost! This is actually cheap compared to what it was before!)
If you need to figure out how to add money to your account go back to my Part 2~
After you add money, go back to order confirmation screen and choose the percentage amount of value declaration for your package! Honestly, I was extremely confused about what this was, but luckily I was still on Skype with the Bhiner people just in case I had any questions, so I asked them what it was and what to do for my package!
They were obviously a bit confused so I tried my best to make what I wanted clear! It helped as you can see below!
They were really helpful c:~ after I declared my value to the suggested percentage, I check-boxed the Member Agreement thingy and checked-out!~
After this, you've completed your second payment and in the "Orders" section, your order has dropped to Phase 6!
After they ship out your item, they'll add a tracking number c: Email notifications will tell you they sent a message and in that message they will tell you your item has been shipped! After that you can find the tracking number c:~
My next Taobao blog post will be the final and it'll be about what items I got, small reviews for each, links to Taobao for the items, and a review of the shipping and entire Bhiner process!! There'll be a timeline for how long everything took c:~
Have a nice day/night and thank you for reading~
