Taobao is one of the biggest online marketplaces in China, run by Alibaba Group, where independent sellers and small shops sell almost everything at Chinese domestic prices. Many sellers on Taobao sell only within China, so the reliable way to buy from Bahrain is a China address: you order on Taobao, the seller delivers to your Oreem address in China, and we ship your parcels to Bahrain, clear customs and bring them to your door. Oreem is an independent shipping company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of Taobao.

Air express from China to Bahrain costs BHD 14.5 for 1 kg with Oreem, delivered to your door in 4–7 working days. Air cargo costs BHD 5.5–6.6 per kg (10 kg minimum, 10–14 working days) and sea freight BHD 135 per CBM (0.2 CBM minimum, 35–60 working days). Bahrain customs and VAT on imports are charged separately.

Taobao is a consumer marketplace in China that belongs to Alibaba Group, which describes it as the largest digital retail platform in China. Most listings come from independent sellers and small shops rather than big brands, which is why the range is so wide and prices are often low: clothes, shoes and bags, home decor, phone accessories, hobby and craft supplies, party items and much more. Taobao suits shoppers who love variety and value and are happy to check each seller before they buy. Its sister site Tmall hosts official brand stores, and if you want stock in bulk for a shop, read our guide to buying wholesale from China.
Taobao Suits:
Oreem can buy or pay for you. With Buy for Me, send us the Taobao product links and we place the order, pay the seller 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.
Check these five things on every Taobao listing before you pay:
Oreem is an independent shipping company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of Taobao.
Taobao has added an English interface for some overseas regions, but many product titles, descriptions, size charts and reviews are still written in Chinese. The translate option in your browser or phone makes most pages easy to read, and camera translation on your phone works well on size charts and labels shown as pictures. For clothes and shoes, never order by the size letter alone: compare the measurements in centimetres with a piece you already own and fits you well. Read reviews with buyer photos, and if anything is unclear, message the seller through the Taobao chat before you order. Payment options depend on your account region, so use a method shown at checkout.
Before You Order:


Contact us first and we send you your Oreem address in China. On Taobao, add it as a new delivery address and copy every line exactly as we send it: the recipient name, the region, the street address and any reference we give you. Most Chinese checkout forms ask you to choose the province, city and district from lists, and they ask for a phone number that the courier in China uses, so fill each field from our details. Save it as your default address so every Taobao order goes to the same place. When a seller dispatches your order, it reaches our team in China, who receive and log it for you. Read more about your China address for shipping.
Address Tips:
A Taobao basket often comes from many different sellers, and each one sends its own small parcel. Every seller delivers to the same Oreem China address, and Oreem receives each parcel and ships it on to Bahrain. Air express from China costs BHD 14.5 for 1 kg, 18 for 2 kg and 47 for 5 kg, and the price depends on the pickup location in China.
How It Works:


Choose how your Taobao orders travel. Air express takes 4–7 working days and suits clothes, accessories and anything you want quickly. Sea freight takes 35–60 working days and costs less for heavy or bulky items such as furniture, rugs or large home goods. Before you order, check that your items are allowed into Bahrain, because some batteries, liquids, aerosols and chemicals are restricted; see our list of prohibited items in Bahrain. For more on routes and timings, read shipping from China to Bahrain and air freight vs sea freight.
Choose by Need:
When your Taobao shipment lands, Oreem clears it through Bahrain customs for you. Imports into Bahrain generally carry 5% customs duty on the CIF value, meaning the goods plus shipping and insurance, and 10% VAT; our customs duty and VAT guide shows how it is worked out, and the official sources are customs.gov.bh and nbr.gov.bh. Keep your Taobao order details, because the value you paid helps with the declaration. After clearance we deliver door to door anywhere in Bahrain, and you can pay with cash on delivery in BHD. Shipping is quoted per shipment, so contact us before your first order.
