From July 22nd, 2022, the returned parcels of Eyoubao, EMS, SAL and Chinese Air will be invovled of a return parcel fee.
In the past years, China post parcels returned from Chinese customs didn’t charge any cost. We usually reship for free for our customers. But now a return parcel fee will be charged by the shipping company. On one hand, it is because of the continuous rise of fuel costs, on the other hand, because of a large number of prohibited products found in the parcels. So the China post side has to do something to control the prohibited products, sucn as liquid, battery, powder, magnet items, etc.
Due to this new policy from the shipping company, we are unable to reship for free for the parcels returned after July 22nd. We will quote the return parcel fee for you before we ship again your parcel. For Eyoubao parcels, the return parcel fee is 50% of your shipping cost and for EMS, SAL, Chinese Air, it is 10 CNY/ KG. We will reship the parcels after you pay the return parcel fee.
Here you can see the return parcel charge notification we got from the shipping company:
We have some suggestions to in avoid of your parcel returned:
Not buy and ship prohibited items, such as contact lenses (liquid), powder and eye shadow (powder), earphone and night light (battery and magnet).
Split in smaller parcels. Usually big parcels has larger return rate than smaller parcels and the big parcels return parcel fee is expensive than smaller parcels. So we suggest to split in smaller parcels to ship if possible.
Don’t ship too many kinds of items in one parcel. Some customers like to combine a lot of orders and items into one parcel for shipping. Such parcels has bigger return risk, so we suggest not to ship many kinds of items in same parcel.
We do thanks for your kind understanding. Any questions please feel free to contact [email protected].
From June 1st, the shipping method EMS and Eyoubao will have volumetric weight involved for parcels which is long than 40cm(including 40cm). It charges on the bigger one between actual weight and volumetric weight. For example, the actual weight of your package is 2kg, and the dimesion is 40*35*25cm. Then EMS will charge on the volumetric weight 40*35*25/6000 = 5.83kg.

Recently there are many parcels returned to us after shipping, almost each day we suffer parcel returning. After checking with the shipping company, it is because of lacking of flights. In Jan.- Apri, 2021, there were only 119 flights from China mainland flights to the United States. However, The figure for the same period in 2019 was 3944, which dropped by 97% compared with the same period last year. Due to the extremely tight flight, a large number of packages are returned randomly after arriving at the airport. This is the main reason of parcel returning, and the other reason is that the parcels which include battery, liquid, powder or some other prohibited shipping items can be returned easily.
The affected shipping methods are mainly from China post, which includes EMS, Eyoubao, SAL and Chinese Air. These shipping methods may have more or less delay or parcel returning. We usually ship the parcels again for free after they returned to our office. If you are in a hurry to receive them you can switch to DHL or Fedex to ship, as they are commercial express, and are less affected from the virus.
What’s terrible, the viral load of delta infected patients was 1260 times that of the original strain. More than 100000 new diagnoses were added in the United States on July 30, which is the highest in the United States since February this year. Recently, infected people have been found in many places in China, leading to different degrees of closed management. Both domestic and international express will be affected. This cause the parcels may arrive at our warheouse late and it may have delay when ship to you internationally.
We appreciate for your patience, and let’s tide over the difficulties together. Please stay safe and take care. All 42agent members wish you and your family healthy. (We have compiled and translated an article published by Tencent Medical Dictionary on August 4, 2021, which can help you build a safe barrier to survive the outbreak. Click here to view it.)
As a lolita fans, do you ever buy lolita from Xianyu(闲鱼) and Taobao? As is known that Japan and China are the two countries that export lolita most. If you ever buy lolita from China, then Taobao and Tmall are the most hot online shopping platforms you can not miss. If you come from other countries outside of China, most probably you need a Taobao agent with the purchasing and shipping, such as 42agent.
Why you need a Taobao agent to buy lolita dress from China?
