YANCHAO: How to Fill Out an Address on Taobao
This YANCHAO guide explains two ways to enter a Taobao delivery address for a China forwarding warehouse. The second method uses the address-copy function available in the YANCHAO account.
Let’s dive in and learn how to fill out an address on Taobao correctly and efficiently.
The Standard Way to Fill Out a Taobao Address
Step-by-Step Guide
First, open the Taobao app you have already downloaded.
If you are not sure how to download Taobao, please refer to our related tutorial article.
Step 2: Navigate to the Address Settings Page
- Log in to your Taobao account
- Find the gear icon (Settings/设置)
- Select My Shipping Addresses/收货地址

Now, click Create a New Address.
Simply tap “Add Shipping Address/新增地址” to open the address input window.

Fill in the Address According to Chinese Address Requirements
- Click the “Location/所在地区” field.
In the pop-up window, change the location to “Mainland China/中国内地(大陆)”, which is the first option on the left.

- Select Province / Region based on the warehouse address you received.
For example, the YANCHAO warehouse is located in Guangdong Province, so scroll down and select Guangdong/广东省.

- Select City according to the warehouse address.
For YANCHAO, the city is Huizhou/惠州市, so scroll and select it.

- Select District / County.
For YANCHAO, the district is Boluo County/博罗县. Choose the first option.

- Select Street / Town.
Based on the actual warehouse address, choose the correct street or town.
For YANCHAO, this is Shiwan Town/石湾镇. Scroll down and select it.

Now that you’ve completed the regional selection, you still need to enter the detailed street address, which usually includes the building or door number after the town or street.
For example, copy the YANCHAO warehouse address directly from the YANCHAO website and paste it here:
- Copy the address from the YANCHAO website

- Paste the copied address into this field

Recipient Information
- Recipient Name: Enter your freight forwarder’s name.
Copy the recipient name exactly as shown in your assigned YANCHAO warehouse address. - Phone Number:
Enter +86, followed by an 11-digit Chinese mobile number starting with 1.
For example: 18126490514.
Once you complete all steps according to this guide, your address should look like the final example shown.

The blurred sections represent your personal information. This setup ensures our warehouse staff can receive your package smoothly.
If you are unsure whether the address is filled in correctly, please take a screenshot of this page and contact our customer support for confirmation.
The One-Second Way to Fill Out a Taobao Address
Let’s return to the Taobao shipping address page again.
Locate the button next to the search bar, as shown in the image.

Click it, and a new input box will appear.
Now, copy the entire warehouse address exactly as provided, without changing a single character.
For example, copy the full address directly from the YANCHAO website.

Paste it into the input box.
Finally, click the orange button in the bottom-right corner.
Once the page closes, your Taobao address will be filled in automatically.

Simply click Save, and you’re done.
Pros and Cons of the Two Taobao Address Methods
Method One: Manual Address Entry
Pros:
- Helps you understand the structure of Chinese addresses
- Familiarizes you with the Taobao address input process
Cons:
- Requires manually splitting province, city, district, and street information
- Difficult for beginners
- High risk of selecting incorrect address details
Method Two: One-Click Address Paste
Pros:

- Smart auto-recognition reduces the risk of errors

- Any typo may result in an incorrect address
Which Taobao Address Method Do We Recommend?
When comparing both methods, we strongly recommend the second option.
It significantly lowers the learning curve, and YANCHAO provides a one-click copy button, ensuring accuracy and ease of use.
Additionally, our customer support team can double-check your address, guaranteeing that your Taobao address is filled in correctly.
