/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Alright, so newbie here putting together my first order. I've read through the FAQ, SS spreadsheets, in-thread recs etc and was planning on using Taobaoring. However, as it turns out, at least half the shops I'm planning on ordering from offer free shipping, either as a deal for the amount i'm buying, or listed on the items themselves. And Taobaoring seems to charge a flat 15cny (or more for some of my heavier orders). The only SS listed as actually acknowledging free/reduced shipping deals in the spreadsheet is Bhiner, which from what I gather in the past few threads would be a horrible decision.
Am I stuck? Do I just have to place my order, suck it up and pay the unnecessary shipping costs, knowing full well my SS has to pay nothing for it? If anyone here knows of any decent alternatives, please let me know
