Welcome to the VT family!
I've never bought from China before — where do I start?
No problem — you do not need to speak Chinese or have a Taobao/1688 account to shop from China through us. The easiest way to start is our Buy For Me service: you send us the product link, we purchase it for you, consolidate it at our China warehouse, then ship it to Malaysia.
The Buy For Me service fee is 3% (domestic shipping inside China is charged separately).
I don't have a credit card or Alipay — can I still order from China?
Yes. With our Buy For Me service you can pay entirely through bank transfer (FPX) in Malaysian Ringgit — no Chinese payment method required. We handle the payment to the seller on your behalf.
Shipping & Delivery
(5)How is the shipping fee calculated?
Use the Shipping Calculator at the bottom of our website to estimate your cost. There are two ways to measure:
- Estimated fee — based on your goods' actual measurements.
- Accurate fee — based on the packaging measurements. Ask your supplier for these to get the closest match.
How to use the calculator:
- Scroll to the bottom-left of our website to find the Shipping Calculator.
- Select your area.
- Select your delivery method.
- Click Calculate.
What goods can be shipped by air freight and sea freight?
You can find the full list of permitted and prohibited items on our Terms page.
How do I check my goods status?
Check your goods status under Product Order in your account. You will see one of these statuses:
- In Process — cannot be changed or deleted; no tracking number yet.
- On the way — cannot be changed or deleted; tracking number provided.
How do I check shipping prices for different zones?
Our shipping rates are split across 3 delivery zones. View the full rate card for each zone on our Pricing page:
What is Full Volumetric, No Volumetric and Half Volumetric?
These are the three methods we use to calculate the chargeable weight of your goods — which determines your shipping fee. The method applied depends on the goods type, density and delivery method.
For a full breakdown of each calculation method, see the How freight is calculated section on our Pricing page.
