Aiebao Hip Seat Baby Carrier

Recently, I bought a hip seat baby carrier in TaoBao.com.  I am amazed at the range of carrier at such low price.  A typical hip seat carrier cost between S$19 - S$25 in TaoBao.  Unless you have friend living in China, who can bring it over to Singapore, you have to get an agent to courier the item to Singapore.  The sellers in TaoBao charged a very high overseas shipping fee, and some sellers do not ship overseas.  I am tempted to buy, and so I searched for a reliable agent in Singapore.  I read many positive reviews on 65 Daigou, so decided to give it a try.  Procedures for placing an order is easy.  There is a cost calculator which shows you the estimated final amount of the item (including shipping fee and agent fee).

In the end, I paid S$37 for the Aiebao Hip Seat Carrier.  The price is much higher than what is in TaoBao because you will need to factor in the shipping fee (S$17 air freight) and agent fee (S$3).  However, the price is considered cheap when you compare to buying similar one in Qoo10 or in shopping malls.  A branded hip seat carrier in retail can cost about S$80 - S$100+ .

I am surprise at the efficiency of 65 Daigou.  I placed an order on Tuesday, and was informed that the parcel has arrived in Singapore next Tuesday.  I arranged self pick up the next day.  It only took 8 days to reach via economy air freight.

TaoBao/ Tmall provides a very detailed description of Aiebao Hip Seat Carrier.  Although made in China. it does not look like a cheap and poor quality carrier.  Upon receiving, I checked the carrier thoroughly.  The workmanship looks good and there is no colour discrepancy.  I feel comfortable while carrying baby in it.

This is how the carrier looks like.  There are other colours to choose from.
