Step 1: Preparation and Product Research

Before heading to Orientdig, your journey begins on Taobao. Use Taobao's search function with keywords like “Saucony Kinvara 14” or “索康尼 菁华 14” (its Chinese name) to find the desired model, colorway, and size. Pay close attention to seller ratings, customer reviews with photos, and detailed product descriptions. To make an informed decision, especially regarding pricing and model comparisons, refer to the comprehensive resource available at https://findsspreadsheet.com/. This external spreadsheet provides an organized overview of various product listings and can be an invaluable tool for your research phase.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Orientdig Account

Navigate to the Orientdig website and register for a new account. The process is straightforward and requires basic information. Once registered, you will be assigned a unique personal warehouse address in China. This address is crucial, as you will use it as your shipping destination on Taobao.

Step 3: Placing Your Order on Taobao

Proceed to checkout on Taobao for your selected Saucony Kinvara. During the shipping information step, carefully input the dedicated Chinese address provided by your Orientdig account. Complete the payment using your preferred method on Taobao (this may require having Alipay set up or using a credit card with international transaction capabilities). Importantly, you pay the merchant directly at this stage, not Orientdig.

Step 4: Notification and Consolidation on Orientdig

Once your Taobao seller ships the shoes, you will receive a tracking number. Log into your Orientdig account and submit a “Parcel Arrival” notification. Enter the Taobao order details and the tracking number. Orientdig’s warehouse staff will receive your package, inspect it for any obvious damage (external check), and store it in your private warehouse space. If you plan to purchase other items from different Taobao shops, you can repeat this process to consolidate multiple packages into one single shipment, which often reduces overall international shipping costs.

Step 5: Selecting International Shipping and Final Payment

After all your intended packages have arrived at the Orientdig warehouse, you can initiate the international shipping request. Within your account, declare the contents (e.g., “running shoes”), and specify the declared value. Orientdig will offer a selection of reliable international couriers such as DHL, UPS, or EMS. Compare the shipping quotes and delivery timelines, then select the one that best fits your needs and budget. You will then pay Orientdig for the international shipping fee, any potential service charges, and, if applicable, customs declaration fees.

Step 6: Customs Clearance and Home Delivery

Orientdig will professionally package your Saucony Kinvaras, prepare the necessary customs documentation, and dispatch your consolidated parcel. They will provide you with an international tracking number. The final step involves monitoring your shipment and handling any customs procedures or duties required by your home country's regulations—responsibilities that typically fall on the recipient. Soon after, your new running shoes will arrive at your doorstep.
