1. How Are Tmall, Taobao, and Pinduoduo Different?
| Item | Tmall | Taobao | Pinduoduo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform type | B2C brand flagship stores | C2C mass market | Low-price group buying / bargaining |
| Seller requirements | Brand authorization + business license required | Individuals and merchants | Individuals / factory direct |
| Authenticity assurance | Authenticity guarantee + 7-day no-reason returns | Depends on seller reviews | Depends on seller reviews |
| Price positioning | Mid-to-high price / official pricing | Everyday consumer goods | Low-price / counterfeit-risk items |
| Forwarding rate with Haoyunqi | Same NT$25-100/kg | Same NT$25-100/kg | Same NT$25-100/kg |
Tmall and Taobao use the same Taobao / Alipay account. The difference is that Tmall is a platform of brand official flagship stores, making it suitable for authentic appliances, 3C electronics, cosmetics, and apparel brands. The forwarding process is exactly the same as Taobao.
2. Enter a Tmall Forwarding Warehouse Address in 5 Steps
1 Register with Haoyunqi and get a Shenzhen warehouse address
Register at 0523.tw in 30 seconds, then copy your dedicated Shenzhen warehouse address from "My Warehouses" in the dashboard.
2 Enter the forwarding warehouse address when ordering from a Tmall flagship store
Log in to the Tmall app / website with your Taobao account โ enter the brand flagship store โ choose products โ enter the delivery address at checkout:
Name: ๅฅฝ้ๅจ (HowBridge Logistics) Phone: 13603054302 Postal code: 518103 Address: Room 3A11, Block B, Tongxin Technology Building, No. 6261 Bao'an Avenue, Qiaotou Community, Fuhai Subdistrict, Bao'an District, Shenzhen (your Taiwan mobile number)
Why use "ๅฅฝ้ๅจ (HowBridge Logistics)" as the name and put your Taiwan mobile number at the end of the address?
Chinese platforms (Taobao / Tmall / Xiaohongshu / WeChat Shop, etc.) automatically mask the recipient name and phone on the shipping label with asterisks (e.g., Wang**, 136****4302), but the address is never masked. So just enter "ๅฅฝ้ๅจ (HowBridge Logistics)" as the name and the warehouse phone 13603054302, and be sure to add your Taiwan mobile number at the very end of the address โ that is how we match the parcel to your account when it arrives.
Payment: Alipay is the main option, linked to a mainland China bank card / balance / some VISA support. Taiwan buyers can use real-name Alipay with a Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents, or ask the seller whether international card checkout is available.
3 Warehouse arrival photos and confirmation
When the parcel arrives at the Shenzhen warehouse, the system sends a LINE notification. The dashboard shows parcel photos, actual weight, and volumetric weight. You can add an inspection service at NT$50/box for unboxing photos and authenticity confirmation.
4 Request outbound shipment and choose sea freight / sea express / air freight
Multiple orders can be consolidated for free. Choose a transport method: sea freight NT$25 (10-14 days), sea express NT$50 (5-10 days), or air freight NT$100 (3-5 days) per kg, with the same rate for standard and qualifying special goods.
5 EZWay declaration + delivery
