I don't trust online shopping in China. I do a majority of my shopping whenever I go home to the U.S. Or at H&M or IKEA here in Beijing.

I've used Taobao a few times, even on my own! Smile

 

My only real problem now, is getting it delivered (as I'm not likely to be home most of the time)

 

I haven't been ripped off, per se, though things weren't always 100% ok (maybe 99%...???)

cooter:

Most of my Chinese friends use their work address for deliveries and snail mail correspondence.

I use to go on ebay and make purchases. I've gone through amazon also. When I want my soccer gear I go to soccersavings.com.

I have used Taobao a few times with the help of a local Chinese friend.  In my opinion the products offered on Taobao tend to be inferior so I have quit using it.  Now for online shopping I use "western" websites and have them ship internationally to my company here.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef
A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
