Q: Shipping Amazon products to China

For ordering things from Amazon, how to enter the Chinese address for shipping? I need to order from the American site, not the Chinese one. The news says they started shipping to China right?

 Tell you what I did.  I wrote , when placing the order my address in English.  After, I contacted the vendor privately (using contact vendor button) and send him the address in Mandarin.  Took about 3 weeks for goods to arrive. 

When contacted vendor, I explained the difficulty of using address in English for delivery

But be aware, not all goods in Amazon are shippable to China

BHGAL:

postal code and a phone number are important

Some things are such a better deal in the west that it might just be worth it to wait until your next visit home.

 

For example when a computer I wanted was discontinued and available cheap on clearance I just had a couple sent to my mom's house and packed them up in an extra suitcase. Extra bag fee on an airplane still WAY less than shipping something here. 

 

And the price difference for buying them here came to almost $400.

 

So if you can be a little patient just hold on a bit and pick them up later.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
