They can be blogs or whatever else. I'm gonna start adding more to the Pros and Cons list of each SS spreadsheet (and add those review links to the external links section)

I hope people in the old thread see this! I'm sorry I haven't managed to get on the internet much this weekend. Here's the stuff people asked me to review earlier.
>black shoes
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8389724409
>pink shoes
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6707205407
They seem to run a size small - I usually wear a US 8.5 and my toe hits the end of the size 40. The black ones have a kind of clunky wide-looking design but the pink ones are narrower. They're both kind of plasticy looking though. I have a pair of Secret Shop shoes which are quite a bit nicer and more comfortable.
>skirt with shoulder straps
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19456360541
I really like this store! The skirt is wooly/wintery feeling.
>brown alpaca wig
It's lovely and soft, like the other alpaca wigs I've bought. The picture shows only a little bit of wave but mine has soft, loose curls. I'd say the brown colour is more cooler toned than I expected but it's still really nice and I look forward to using it in lolita coords.
>white collared blouse below it
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7461847923
This is my favourite out of the blouses I bought. It's transparent and comes with a slip, but I'll just wear a white singlet underneath. The size M fits me nicely at 39cm shoulders and 86cm bust.
>top row, second from the right collared blouse
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14686364290
I don't know if it was the store's fault or not, but this took almost a month to arrive at the SS. It's quite transparent so you'd want to wear a white undershirt with it. It's surprisingly accommodating for my 39cm shoulders but the sleeves are shorter than I'd like (my tape measure tells me 58cm).
>liz lisa denim jsk
It's pretty nice but not exactly like the pictures. The brown lacing is different, the colour is a bit lighter and it doesn't have the contrasting threads so it's far from a perfect replica. That said, it's a cute jsk in its own right. It hits me just above the knee, and I'm 5'3".

Seconding this somewhat. I don't know much about SD's so I don't have a bunch of links for good clothing and such.

It might be out line of to ask, but does anyone know any taobao stores that have cute 1/6 or yo-sd sized clothing for BJD's? I'd be happy if anyone knows stores that sell nice glass eyes, with 'texture', so that the iris isn't just a solid color.


Also, things for myself. Does anyone have links for 'cute' stuff. Clothes, bags, just everything. I'm not looking for creepy cute, or any style in particular, just cute stuff, cats and the likes. Homey things shaped like animals, hairpins, leggins and whatnot.

Agreed with this. And from my experience, non-lolita stores tend to restock more since there's less construction involved. They also sell both the winter and summer versions st ge sane time, which leads me to believe this isn't a season exclusive design.

Picture doesn't include any of the bows, and there's obviously not a petticoat underneath it lol.

The quality is fucking amazing and I love it better than the original. I don't own a lot of replicas, but for the ones I do, I love. The print is completely opaque and not blurry in any sense. The ribbon that says "ANGELIC PRETTY MELTY CHOCOLATE" is sewed onto at both border seams, if that makes sense - basically the seams aren't visible. It fits perfect, but if you have big arms you might have issues. The arm part is not gathered like other replicas, so you'll have to squeeze your arms into it if you're not skinny enough.

I was just reading the SS spreadsheet, and thought I should let you guys know that it is possible to buy 90cm umbrellas via TaobaoRing, as long as you buy enough stuff so that they will use a big box where the umbrella will fit in. Otherwise they'll have to stuff it with filling, and you'll have to pay more for shipping the entire thing.

I bought one when my entire order was about 10 kg, but when I asked if I could split it into two parcels they said it wouldn't be wise because I'd have to pay too much extra for the fillings of the umbrella box.

Im also really interested in this iw replica bag, but haven't found any others from taobao.

Guys, help me.
I bought dark blue tea parties but I have NOTHING to match them with.
Was gonna go with Galaxy Seifuku in dark blue, don't like anymore.
Was going to go with Chess Story's baby angels JSK, but don't like anymore.

What other dresses (loli particular) can I get that is dark blue colored?

Also, reason is because after I paid, something I was getting in dark blue became unavailable so now I have no use for dark blue Tea parties.

You'll have to look up how to measure yourself and grab some measuring tape.

You have to be really careful with Chinese sizes. For men's sizes, I really advise checking every listing and making sure. My boyfriend is Chinese and he wears an L or an XL when we shopped in Hong Kong, but a XS or S when he shops in the states... I think it's mostly his shoulders, but it can really vary and be generally wonky. So make sure you take the measurements correctly and keep your eye out!

So I got the Email from Taobaoring about the dates they will stop shipping. Question though: Are all international parcels STOPPED in China?
For instance, if my items get mailed out on February 1st (Taobaoring's last day for mailing), does that mean all Chinese post offices stop working and my package will take even longer than a month (using SAL) to get through?

>> No.6552340

>>6552338
No, it's their last day for mailing because they don't want your items being held up. However, please remember that similarly to how the post offices are in the west around Christmas (everyone mailing cards and gifts), the post offices will also be very busy in China do expect some delays. You should get it though as I believe it will have left the country before the post offices in China shut down.

Taobaoring hasn't received all of my items yet, and after I made my order they said it'd all be there by three weeks, so everything should be there in the next week and a half, and then they'll be shipping BY February 1st. I just don't want it to be making no process after it's been shipped, if that makes sense

Not really sure what you're asking...

The post offices in China will shut down over CNY, just like how in the west post offices completely shut down over Christmas. It's the biggest public holiday. However, they give people a last postal date because this means that if you post it, then your parcel should get to wherever it is it's going before the post offices shut down. For international mail, that parcel only has to get dispatched out the country, as if you are living in a country that doesn't shut down for CNY then your postal system is still going to be up and running. Hope this makes sense.

Not to a bank.
You go to Walmart, or 7-11, or any major store.
You go to Customer Service in that store.
You have to pay in CASH.
Anyways, the person gives you a form, and you enter all of your information it asks as well as Taobaoring's information (like their name, address, etc, their info is on TBRing's site). Then you get a receipt, which has a 10 digit number (I think it's called a TRCN?) Or something with 4 initials - the name doesn't matter. The only thing that matters in the 10 digits.
Then you Email the 10 digits to Taobaoring.
You get charged a fee for using Western Union. It's a VERY small fee and it sure as hell beats PP fees.

EMS is for large orders with a certain weight limit. SAL, while also can be used for the same large orders, is going to cost roughly the same, with EMS being slightly more expensive, so you might as well use EMS because it'll get to your home country faster.

I'm basing this off of Japan packages though. Haven't done one in China yet but I assume it works similarly.

for SAL depends on the type of SAL. SAL small packet unregistered is far cheaper than EMS but has no tracking and takes longer and has a 2kg limit.

Hmm, what would you seagulls think of a lj/dreamwidth comm for taobao? Not exactly egl-esque but similar. Sales posts (because we all know it, most everyone buys shit from Taobao they don't need or ends up not fitting), links to reviews for items/stores/shopping services, masterpost with all the spreadsheets linked of course, group order calls for taobao general or for the same store.

And simple shopping service feedback? A common event in these threads would be anons complaining when a service made a mistake, but then other anons say "well but no one ever says when a service does everything right", so a masterpost with either +1 (did it right) or -1 (wrong) or 0 (did something right but something else wrong, did something wrong but then righted it, etc.), so we have a better idea of who screws up more.

Just an idea.

Copy/paste from SS spreadsheet:
Open space on airplanes is one factor on how fast an item will get to your country. If your package is a little larger than the average SAL package, it might not fit in the open space of airplanes so it will take a bit until there is room in an airplane going to your country.

Know a few people who got them and there was a big scandal over weibo when lots of people posted their chatlogs with FS's customer service who had bad attitude. If you preordered (didn't pay full price) you might be able to get it refunded, but red fucking stains everything so I wouldn't hold out much hope for being able to save it (maybe just wash in bleach? idk). I made Kriem's umbrella and forgot to prewash the red fabric and now it's all sewn in and I'm fucked.

Heads up to anybody buying make-up from taobao, it's most likely fake. Unless it specifies it's a shopping service through a HK counter and provides you with the original receipt, if it's shockingly cheap then it's fake. There's a huge market for fake or hyped cosmetics. I wouldn't buy anything that goes directly on your face (e.g. mask pack, foundation, powder). However, it's a wonderful place to get lots of cheap things such as eyeliner, eyeshadow palettes, lip color, eyelashes and brushes. I have a stash of like 5 eyeliner sharpeners because I keep losing them and they only cost 1 rmb each.

Popular fakes:
MAC anything
Benefit anything
that Japanese soymilk facewash/pack
Skinfood
Coastal Scents

Anyone know any good places to get gyaru/liz lisa replica shoes in larger sizes(about US 10-10.5)? Thanks in advance.

Search Liz Lisa + 大码 (large sizing). Use the spreadsheets and don't be lazy.

I've gotten a few of those masks (collagen eye masks) as gifts. I actually tried them on. They feel REALLY good. I don't know if they're actually good or bad for you. I just know they feel really good when I put them on. They're like... Jelly like? The name is Sakura Eye something... I bought a huge pack up them from Taobao anywoo, because on eBay (even though they're 99 cents free ship, you only get one). On Taobao I bought 20 of them for only $1.

I hope so. But if they're not, they were crazy cheap (though I had to buy a certain amount or else they won't sell to you) so not too much of a loss. Can't know until they get here though.

Ah thanks. Unfortunately it is already on it's way to me. Hopefully it'll hold out until Cospa releases an official one. They won't miss out on banking on the cat hat and jacket which they'll severely over charge for I'm sure.
