I buy from Amazon often.
This is the first time I have seen them list Taipei, China.
Seriously hoping my package does not end up in China.
I would assume they just display the information the shipping company provides them.
This is an ongoing problem. Iāve had packages from some companies sent first to my parents, who then repackage and pass it on to me because Iām not even sure if the post office will recognize an address like āKaohsiung, Province of China.ā Those petty CCP bastards are probably pressuring companies one by one to do that or threatening to cut off business with them altogether is my guess.
I have had UPS packages sent to Thailand by mistake.
Considering it is sold and shipped through Amazon, it is Amazonās obligation to see the transaction all the way through from payment to delivery. They are well aware of what they display on their customer interface and should be held accountable for that. No passing the buck or blame.
Iāve contacted their support. Will see what happens.
Nahh. Thatās just UPS or Fedex.
You can always request ECMS and SF Express to blacklist you.
Go onā¦
tell me moreā¦
what is this shipping blacklist trick you speak of?
Just call them and ask.
Itās that simple.
so you can ask them to refuse shipment to you so Amazon will be forced to default to another carrier?
Interesting.
I wonder if it will affect Amazonās free shipping offer on orders if I force them through a different carrier.
Yeah. Just tell SF/ECMS that you donāt want to do business anymore and would like to have your address blacklisted from future deliveries.
Very few people have done it and the Taiwanese government isnāt in any hurry to ban improper use of the countryās name on packages. So itās likely to confuse a few people when shipping. But yea. Itās the only way to boycott a shipping company.
I also ask security guards to reject mail heading towards āchinaā and make it super clear to sellers if my address contains the word āChinaā, negative feedback will be left.
A lot of foreigners are not applying the thinking from home to here. I do. Itās the same reason why I say dollars and not NT Dollars. I live in Taiwan!
As long as they donāt specify which china, theyāre perfectly in line with the self imposed policies of all 3 regions - US, RoC, P-RoC
First problem.
Nah.
Hard to beat their deals with free shipping to Taiwan. I can get many things you canāt get in Taiwan for very good prices, especially if you take advantage of Prime Day sales.
Example: I bought a box of 16 Gillette Fusion Blades for $6 USD. Just one 4 pack costs 3 times that in Taiwan.
Ya. Itās the problem of crap e-commerce companies like PChome24h, ruten etc. not mine
Thereās only one China. And Taiwan is not part of China.
This is how most people see it.
But ECMS is really fast. I usually get their packages from Amazon in less than a week, sometimes only a few days.
Funnily, all my orders just say āTPE,ā with no country behind it.
Sovereignty isnāt worth convenience. Shipping is a different beast than most services and this is the only way to vote with your wallet.
Thatās the airport.
