Tmall is the Alibaba Group marketplace where brands and their authorised retailers run official storefronts for shoppers in China. Many stores on Tmall sell only within China, so the reliable way to buy from Bahrain is a China address: you order on Tmall, each store delivers to your Oreem address in China, and we combine your orders, fly or ship them to Bahrain, clear customs and deliver them to your door. Oreem is an independent shipping company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of Tmall.
Shoppers across Bahrain use Oreem to receive their online orders abroad, bring them home and clear them through customs.
Tmall started in 2008 as the brand mall inside Taobao and later became its own site. Alibaba Group describes it as the platform where many international and Chinese brands and retailers have their storefronts, and the sellers are brand owners or retailers authorised to sell the brand. That makes Tmall the place to look when you care more about a genuine branded product than about the lowest price: sportswear and trainers, skincare and beauty, baby and kids products, home appliances, phones and gadgets, and Chinese brands that are hard to find in Bahrain. Prices are usually higher than on Taobao, because you are buying from official stores. For other Chinese sites, see our guide to shopping from Chinese websites.
Tmall Suits:
Shoppers who want genuine branded goods Fans of Chinese brands sold mainly in China Buyers who prefer official store policiesOreem can buy or pay for you. With Buy for Me, send us the Tmall product links and we place the order, pay the store and ship it to Bahrain. With Pay Only, you fill your own cart and we complete the payment, while you pay Oreem in Bahraini dinars.
Both belong to the same group and one Taobao account works on both, but they serve different shoppers:
Oreem is an independent shipping company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of Tmall.
Not every store on Tmall is the same. A flagship store is run by the brand itself or its licensed distributor and sells that one brand, while authorised and specialty stores are run by retailers with the right to sell one or several brands. If authenticity matters most, start with the flagship store and check that the store name matches the brand. Most product pages are written in Chinese, so use the translate option in your browser or phone. Clothing and shoes follow Chinese sizing, so compare the size chart in centimetres with a garment you already own instead of ordering your usual size. Payment options depend on your account, so use a method shown at checkout. To compare with single-seller shopping, read buying from Taobao.
Before You Order:
Prefer the brand flagship store Check the size chart in centimetres Translate the page and read the reviews
Tmall is one of the main marketplaces of Alibaba Group, and its storefronts are run by brands and authorised retailers, which is why shoppers turn to it for genuine branded products. Still, a few checks save trouble. Appliances made for the Chinese market usually come with Chinese plugs, while homes in Bahrain use the three-pin square socket, so check the plug and voltage before you order. A brand warranty from a Chinese store may only be valid in mainland China, so read the store terms. Phones, power banks and other items with lithium batteries can face airline limits, and some goods need approval in Bahrain; see prohibited items in Bahrain and ask us before you buy if you are unsure.
Smart Checks:
Check the plug and voltage for Bahrain Read the warranty terms of the store Ask us about items with batteriesContact us and we send you your Oreem address in China. One Taobao account works on Tmall too, so an address you save once is ready for both sites. Create a new delivery address and copy every line exactly as we send it: the recipient name, the province, city and district picked from the lists, the street line, the mobile number field and your customer reference. Make it your default address before you check out, and look at the delivery address again on the order summary page before you pay. Each store then sends your order to our team in China, which logs it on arrival and tells you it is there. Learn more about your China address for shipping.
Checkout Tips:
Copy every address line exactly Make it your default delivery address Check the address again before you pay
Brand stores on Tmall each send their own parcel, so a pair of trainers, a skincare set and a phone case from three stores arrive at our China address as three deliveries. Oreem collects them and can repack them into one parcel to Bahrain, which means one shipment, one customs clearance and one delivery to your door. During big shopping events such as 11.11, when many shoppers order from several stores at once, combining makes an even bigger difference. Tell us which Tmall orders you are waiting for, and once the last one arrives we prepare your parcel. If one store is slow to dispatch, you can wait for it or send what has already arrived.
How It Works:
Each store delivers to your China address We log every order as it arrives Your orders travel to Bahrain as one parcelMost Tmall orders are clothing, beauty and gadgets, so air freight in about 3 to 7 days is the usual choice; sea freight in about 20 to 35 days suits bulky appliances or furniture where cost matters more than speed. Compare both in air freight vs sea freight and shipping from China to Bahrain. Imports into Bahrain generally carry 5% customs duty on the CIF value, meaning the goods plus shipping and insurance, and 10% VAT, as set out on customs.gov.bh and nbr.gov.bh. Keep your Tmall order confirmation as proof of value, and Oreem handles the customs clearance and delivers to your home or office anywhere in Bahrain, with cash on delivery in BHD. Shipping is quoted per shipment.
