That doesn't even make sense, upu is not a face.

It's drooling

Awoo what's this
So Taobao started doing something strange now for me. If I go to an item that they won't ship to the USA, such as https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.4.4f957484AYZXCF&id=547294219461 while logged in, it'll load the item page, and then immediately redirect to this:
Is it like a work around page ior ust another error message?
it redirects to this URL https://world.taobao.com/wow/oversea/act/err-detail?wh_biz=tm
When contacting Taobao customer service, they said it was something that the seller set on their items, and I should try to find another seller.
I thought they didn't ship outside of china, period
They do. if you can get past the Chinese, you can enter your address int he USA, and they've got automatic consolidation companies. I've seen 2. Zhongshan Cargo Logistics and Jiacheng International. you ship your items to one of them, and they repack it all, charge you for shipping, and send it to you
the shipping cost is actually pretty reasonable
The nice thing is, at least in my account, it's basically automatic. if I choose to check out, it'll ask me which logistics company I want to send to, and it'll take care of everythhing
Nice
Dis you wind up buying the engine?
Nope.
No buying of engines occurred
RIP
Plus, I really really don't want to know what the cost to fucking AIRMAIL an engine is
But, I've ordered some other stuff, and that's going well.
got a SCSI card I needed for a project, and a couple model cars.
Why not boat ship It?
You live near a major freshwater port, even if it is not as hopping as itn as.
There doesn't seem to be any choice in Taobao for boat shipping
both of the logistics companies ship by air
You can always ask, they will probably just subcontract it out to a smaller forwarding company, cost more but it'll still be cheaper than airmail
@onoderaSecurity why no love for the smaller D-Tips
I got an email from taobao customer service about shipping that toolbox or an engine just now. "Dear customer:_As for the problem that you cannot place an order for the item, we check that the item cannot be ship because the item may contain sensitive words such as car parts, so the item is not allow to ship. _Sorry for any inconvenienec~_Best Regards"
thank counterfeit protection and customs bullshit from that pretty much
Yup. How annoying
@Tervy this set i just ordered has a D4, D08 and D24
might come in handy
Anybody have experience shipping bows, crossbows or firearms?

In slightly after euro fear response
I had to sign a special sending sheet for it BUT I shipped a quiver with arrows across the state
