The taxi pick up point in T1 is outside No.8 Gate of Arrival, and in T2 is outside No. 25 Gate of Arrival. There usually are long queues there.

You can also take the airport shuttle bus to Yiwu International Trade CIty at Terminal 2. The bus departs at 13:10 (on Tue., Thur. and Sat.), or 17:40 (on Mon., Wed., Fri. and Sun.) and 18:50, and the ticket fare is CNY 200, which is much cheaper than taking a taxi.

Frequent Shanghai - Yiwu bullet trains are also available. You can take metro line 2 to Hongqiao Railway Station and take a bullet train there to Yiwu.

You mean train tickets? If you cancel the ticket or change the date in advance, you will get a ticket refund but the service will be charged.
