Why Use Orientdig for Taobao Purchases?

Many international shoppers struggle with:

• Language barriers when browsing Taobao’s Chinese interface.
• Payment options limited to Chinese bank accounts or Alipay.
• International shipping restrictions.

Orientdig addresses these challenges by serving as a concierge service—browsing stores, negotiating prices, and consolidating shipments to your country. Their platform includes features like product verification, a transparent fee structure, and package tracking to ensure secure transactions.

Steps to Purchase a Cartier Watch via Orientdig

1. Search for the Cartier Model on Taobao

Visit TaobaoCartier Tank, Ballon Bleu, or Santos. To identify authentic sellers, check reviews or seller ratings (a Diamond-rated store is typically reliable). Alternatively, browse verified models on this helpful product spreadsheet.

2. Submit the Item to Orientdig

3. Confirm Pricing and Fees

Orientdig charges a service fee (~8-15% of the item price, varying by item category) + international shipping. For example, a $3,000 Cartier may incur a $300 fee. Shipping costs vary—EPS (cheaper but slower) or DHL (faster, costlier). A quote breakdown is provided before payment.

4. Complete Payment & Wait for Delivery
