Online shopping for luxury brands like Dior has never been easier with platforms like Taobao and Allchinabuy. This China-based forwarder bridges the gap between international buyers and exclusive Chinese market deals, allowing you to purchase authentic Dior items at competitive prices. Here's your step-by-step guide to leveraging this service efficiently.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Allchinabuy Account
Begin by registering on Allchinabuy's website. Unlike traditional forwarding services, they offer:
- English/German/Japanese multilingual support
- Consolidation of purchases from multiple Taobao sellers
- Built-in QC photo services starting at $0.99/item
Verification requires email confirmation and potentially ID upload for high-value shipments.
Step 2: Taobao Navigation Tactics
When searching for Dior products:
- Use Chinese characters 迪奥
- Filter results to Tmall Global
- Check seller ratings (钻石/diamond or 皇冠/crown ranked preferred)
Cross-reference product codes with official Dior releases - counterfeiters often use wrong item numbers.
