Taobao has long been a go-to platform for shoppers looking for great deals on everything from electronics to fashion. However, for international buyers, purchasing from Taobao can be a challenge due to language barriers, shipping restrictions, and payment methods. This is where Mulebuy, a Chinese proxy and forwarding service, comes into play. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to use Mulebuy to buy Calvin Klein products from Taobao seamlessly.

Mulebuy offers various payment methods, including PayPal, credit/debit cards, and even cryptocurrency in some cases. Their system will calculate the total cost, including domestic shipping in China, service fees (typically 5–10% of the product price), and anticipated international shipping costs.
Taobao sellers usually ship to Mulebuy’s warehouse within 5 days. If you’ve ordered multiple items, Mulebuy allows up to 30 days of free storage so you can merge orders into a single shipment. This can substantially reduce international shipping fees.
Select your preferred shipping provider (e.g., DHL, FedEx, or EMS). Mulebuy may repackage items to optimize space and weight, minimizing costs. You’ll need to pay the final shipping fee and provide your international address before they dispatch the package.
