/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

SS spreadsheet anon here.

I haven't updated the spreadsheet in quite a while since there haven't been much to do on there minus add a few more SS that aren't as well known.

If anyone can find any reviews on these SS, that'd be fantastic:

GUYS MY ORDER!!!

GUYS MY OTHER ORDER!!

>>6602181
>>6602185
Not the anon that always says "Shitty fucking small order, etc." but why do you feel the need to post this is every thread? It's not even arrived yet has it?

>>6602164
cgl is marking my post as spam whatever I do so I'm going to email you the links instead, sorry!

>>6602235
It's a troll

>>6602270
That's fine. Thanks a bunch!

>>6602235
I'm the anon that posted these two collages in December/early January. I'm the person who's ordering it (same anon who had dream dress seized/stolen/lost in customs), but for some reason this troll keeps re-posting my two collages repetitively every new thread. I don't know why.

>>6602359
I wonder,how much shipping did you pay for the large order?

>>6602359
Can you give me the link for the upper right blue dress?

>>6602414

It's chess story. Google it

>>6602414
It's sold out currently I think, but it's from Chess Story and it's called "Starry Night Angel". $80 USD

Anyone know if White Moon lolita restocks or something? I want the strawberry chocolate dress so badly, but I didn't get into lolita until after it had sold out anyway.

There's one up on ebay but it's way too fucking big for me.

>>6602463
If all else fails you could get that one and have it taken in? I've had to do that with long-sold out secondhand taobao pieces I really wanted.

>>6602463
Link to the one on eBay?
I'm the anon that had ordered the last one of that dress in November, and had it stolen/seized/lost by customs in December. That was my dream dress.

>>6602463
Wow, starting bid at $110? The Taobao shop was nearly half of that.

Anyone have packages handed over to the post office around the 1st? Mine hasn't updated since it was listed as "accepted"

>>6602479
Yeah, but it WAS popular, as you can see from the demand just in this thread. Price and demand..

>>6602470
I contemplated that but I don't know where to get it done and I'm not sure really lol. I talked it over with my friend and we deducted it just wasn't meant to be, sob.

>>6602476
Yeah, >>6602479 found it.
How much was it when it was up on Taobao?

Now I guess I'm just gonna hope somebody sells theirs one day. Or something.

Does anyone know good shop for accessories? I have a hard time finding anything classic or brown.

>>6602485
less than 400 yuan, about 58USD I believe

>>6602487
The accessory shops are almost all on hiatus right now so there's nothing in their shops.

>>6602486
I didn't know it was popular
Strawberry dream dress customs stole anon here
I talked to Taobaoring and they explained to White Moon my situation with the stolen dress and they remade the dress just for me, but they hardly had any fabric left, so the dress I get will be a size XS, which my already thinself won't fit thanks to my bone structure... But I'm hoping for the best! Also, white moon, is very unreliable when it comes to domestic shipping. I had been waiting for almost 2 months and they hadn't even shipped to Taobaoring yet! Now I have to wait until after February 18th to get it shipped -_-

>>6602493
I-If it doesn't fit you can I buy it off you or something...

>>6602490
I know, but are there any to look out for? I've got most of my coord covered so far but I really need arm accessories

>>6602498
Yes you can, and I also won't scalp the price to nearly double like some people do. Popular or not, it's just fucked up to me, because it's already second hand the moment you buy directly from the shop...
However, I won't receive it until mid or the end of March because I'm going to be using SAL.

I hate that everything I had is shipped (14kg) BUT White Moon Lolita's stuff, because White Moon has no fucking idea on how to ship stuff in a timely matter to the SS. They had 2 fucking months to do so. Nothing I ordered was a pre-order either, other than the dress which took 2 weeks to make (Taobaoring updated me). But they just didn't ship -_-

>>6602509
For classic I'd rec FoxCherry highly, Red Maria, also Luna Borgia and Dark Whisper can be good if you're into 'darker' accessories (they're mostly gothic/chokers), and KiraKira has some sweeter-classic pieces.

>>6602509
What do you mean ARM accessories? Arm warmers aren't really lolita, if that's what you're looking for

>>6602509
Oh, didn't see the part about arm (I assume/hope you mean wristcuffs and bracelets). I haven't actually seen many stores with lots of bracelets and such, now that I think of it; mostly rings and necklaces and hair accessories...

>>6602522
Oh my goodness wow thank you.
I actually really hope it fits you, though. I think you deserve it going through what you did.

After all this fuss over White Moon I'm not sure if I'd want to deal with them at all aha. Wonder why they take so long to ship things out??

>>6602509 No, god no! I know how bad arm warmers are. I mean wristcuffs, cute brown(or ivory maybe) wristcuffs. Bracelets are okay, but I'd rather have wristcuffs.

>>6602525
Thank you, I can't see the wares of some right now, but I will keep them in mind

>>6602538
You're welcome in advanced c:
I understand that mistakes happen when you have an international parcel, especially coming from China, whose post offices I assume are 10x more packed than the USA. The #1 issue that bothered me was not being able to get refunded. I know there would be no way I could have, because this was a mistake (or thief) done by customs' behalf. But really, having money going down the drain really sucks :/

Thank you, I hope it fits me too. And I'm going to try really hard to get as thin (not sickly) as possible so I can manage to fit it. It is my dream piece, but I am most terrified it won't fit.

But if not, I will definitely look out for you. No hard feelings. Do you have some sort of name/alias you go by? Just so I know who I'm speaking to if the time comes and the dress isn't fit for me?

I don't know why they took so long. I will ask Taobaoring when they resume their business. Because I wanted to split my package since White Moon's stuff hadn't arrived, I Emailed Taobaoring if White Moon's stuff would have before February 1st (when Taobaoring stops shipping). Then they Emailed me back that White Moon had never even begun shipping...

Backed up or not, I don't think there's any excuses!

anyone know stores of cute cheap jewelry?

What are some good stores that sell big (as in loose) comfortable sweaters. Preferbly stores that people have gotten items from that were very comfortable.

>>6602578
>cute
arbitrary

Anyone tell me what's wrong with this dog? I know it's like a chihuahua, and those things are usually ugly, but this thing is just hideous! It looks like it's been skinned alive or something!

-Found on Taobao-

Does anyone want to find this for me? Or at least give me search terms (in English is fine, I can try to translate it myself.) I have noooo idea what to search.

Not sure if I actually want to buy it, but I want to check out what taobao has.

>>6602576
Hmm I don't suppose you had insurance on the package? I know in the US when you don't have insurance you don't get reimbursed if something's lost... or at least, I never was. Then again, I don't know if it still works if it was only one item missing. Is there a complaint department for the Chinese customs? I googled it but it seems there are various customs centers and I don't know which yours went through.

You can call me Mei, I'll drop my email if the time ever comes~

any stores selling straw hats or strawberry printed sundresses?

>>6602664
No insurance, but I don't think it would matter because the package was opened up in China, and not the US. I Emailed the US customs and they told me it must have been China who opened and lost/stole my item, rather than them, because the US never opened my package, they just scanned it. Mine went through the Beijing China Post, because the tape said "repacked by China post Beijing" everywhere. All of my other packages were opened by China's customs, but nothing ever got lost. This package wasn't even my largest, but now I'm scared my current order (14kg), something will get lost >.>
Taobaoring couldn't do anything, because when one item gets lost, they don't have a "lost and found" center and China isn't nearly as organized as the US. I remember when I went to China and going to post office was... It wasn't a pleasant experience, and what I mailed never got to where it was supposed to go either.

And alright, Mei.

Why NOT?

Im planning to get a guitar for my boyfriends birthday, and it's off TBMall with good reviews. Its a 4.8 But the numbers under it are all 30%. I was wondering what those numbers were for before buying it.

Here's the link if that wasn't too clear.
http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?s=a230r.1.10.2.BId4Nh&id=180349031&ad_id=&am_id=&cm_id=&pm_id=

HOLY SHIT, so my order had been sitting in Qingdao "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" since the fucking 18th, most express EMS package ever.
AND IT FINALLY MADE IT TO NEW YORK TODAY.
I AM SO EXCITED.
I HAD GIVEN UP ON GETTING IT UNTIL AFTER CNY.
WHY THE FUCK DID IT MOVE ON A SUNDAY I DON'T EVEN.
Caps was required to show my level of excitement, should be hear in a day or two.
I will have all the things.
I will likely be at work when it comes.
BUT WHEN I PICK IT UP AT THE POST OFFICE I WILL HAVE ALL THE THINGS.

>>6602934
Those numbers are nothing to worry about.
The character next to it, Gao1 (meaning high, like top/high seller), so they're saying how many people voted this person as a high seller. Those numbers are probably made up.

>>6602990
So in your opinion, it would be a good because its a 4.8 in all after ignoring the other numbers?

>>6602960
Glald to here is fellow package has been in the "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment stage" Buddy anon! Maybe mine will come soon too. Granted mine was air mail but you know. I like to dream..... Give me my shoes post man.

I'm looking for a lavender Chiffon jsk, I know one lolita brand or another had one years ago but I can't seem to find it.
Any have one like that out now?

Hello! I'm looking for this bag (cheap)

>>6602934
Just buy it from a guitar shop near you

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

How long does it take for the shit to actually begin shipment? There's no date next to it. I'm using SAL and checking it on USPS's website.

>>6603517
when looking at your package up on usps does your package actually say sal mail or anything like that?

Any experiences with this shop? Was this where the previous poster got the naked palette?

http://xdmz.taobao.com

>>6603608
>>6603608
No, it says Priority Mail International Parcels. Is that SAL? because I paid for SAL.

>>6603638
I was just checking. I just did sal for time as well but was confused when it said "priority mail international parcel" too.

As for your question. I'm pretty sure it just wont update again until it hits your country's customs.

Christ I have been waiting since friday for my parcel to get here because that's when it arrived in my country
and now it's in customs apparently
i might not even get it today like i expected

I might move to China so I wont have to deal with all of this. Sob.

>>6603858
Since Friday? That's really not that long... at all.

>>6603619

I'd also like to know. I've previous bought an eyeliner and brushes from them before and they were pretty good, obvs not the real stuff but really good considering their super cheap price but I want to try their eyeshadows

>>6602934
this >>6603453 buy a guitar from a physical store. the shipping and the risk of damage during shipping isn't worth it. if you go to a physical shop, the staff can help you pick a guitar according to your(or bf's) needs, budget, etc.

>>6603956
I know I know, I'm just impatient as fuck and my last parcel was literally released from customs after ten minutes.

What do you guys do if something doesn't fit you? I'd probably be better off asking the sales thread, but if anyone wants to sell their taobao stuff please post here or there! I'm really interested

sage for slightly off topic

Hey, if you guys have a specific inquiry about an item that you're interested in buying, do you just ask the agent? I've been looking at this cape, and it says it's available in blue, but there's no stock pictures of it and I really want to see it. I'm just passable in Mandarin (not fluent, but I get by most of the time), and I'd rather ask the store directly, I just have no idea how to go about it.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spa230r.1.10.224.1U3uEN&id=208544488

>>6604019
i use celestial delinquent and usually she will send a message to the seller with whatever questions i have.
but they do have a pic of it in blue. u missed it. "蓝色:(pic)

>>6604035
Oh, dammit
I didn't see the 藍色 part and thought it was just black with weird lighting
I'm an idiot
Ty and never mind, hahaha.

>>6603990
>>6603453
The problem is I am almost 100% sure I will never find a 7-string guitar for 100 or less. They are expensive.

>>6604090
What you're doing only makes sense if the guitar will be a cosplay prop. Guitars are not clothes, you can't just choose one just because its the cheapest. If you do that, it is akin to throwing all that money away because the construction of the guitar could be so poor that the guitarist won't use it to play. If your bf is serious about playing guitar, u might want to leave him alone to choose his gear.

>>6604090
Yes, but I think for guitars (and pretty much any musical instrument), it's best to try them out first before buying, y'know? to test the strings, the sound, the construction, etc etc.

>>6604090
any 7 string you can buy for under 100 isnt worth having.
instruments, for the most part, are like tattoos:
you get what you pay for.

if you want to keep the guitar theme, and you know he will eventually get this 7-string,
then maybe get him a hard case? they are lovely to have, but expensive to get along with the instrument

>>6603956
You know, post offices don't work on the weekend, so you've only actually been waiting one day.
Get the fuck over it.

>>6604148

Sage for off topic, but why do I see some people sometimes having a bunch of random letters after their name/

>>6604174
You are the newest newfag who ever newfagged

>>6604174
are you the email field person too
your cluelessness is kind of adorable negl
https://www.4chan.org/faq look up "tripcodes"

also you missed your sage lol.

I'm thinking about getting back into sewing my own lolita stuff again. I want fabric that's cute but not expensive so it doesn't matter if I mess up to start with.

Is it worth buying fabric from taobao or will it work out just as expensive as shopping for it here in the UK once fees/shipping are added?

My package has been in LA customs since Jan 24, should I be worried?

>>6602680
Oh geez. I made like a 6kg order once and that one still had missing things (I think I've talked to you before, I mentioned I lost an umbrella and some stickers). What kind of shipping method did you use?

I've noticed whenever I use SAL my stuff usually gets opened if it's a big box, whereas with EMS they barely touch it... but paying EMS for bigger parcels basically wastes away whatever money I saved from shopping on Taobao in the first place...

>>6604185
I'm confused, what is the point of this "tripcode"?
Also, no, I'm not the Email person.
I know about the Email thing because it says Name, then E-mail, then Subject.

sage again for off topic, but please answer me, I really want to know. I don't understand this tripcode thing...

>>6604199
Beware! Fabric is heavy, and it takes 5-6 yards to make one lolita dress... The shipping will definitely outweigh the cost.

>>6602326
No problem!

>>6603063
iirc this isn't sold on taobao anymore, I brought one in black 2 years ago and haven't seen them since
I believe that Lady Sloth was selling them a few months ago though

>>6604199
It really depends on what you are buying. I'm a fashion student and I have to buy a fair bit of fabric so my pending order is for fabrics that are expensive to buy domestically e.g faux fur I got quoted £25 p/m when I can get it for around £4 p/m on taobao?
If you are a novice seamstress then I advise buying a load of calico from Ikea approx £1.29 p/m and practising on that as it's inexpensive and a great way to start learning to sew
Some fabrics it's essential that you feel the drape, texture, pile etc. of but you can probably buy the minimum measurement and then put an order in for more if it's suitable?
Also fabric prices within the UK depend on your location - if you're in a big city then the prices will generally be cheaper than a small village
If you live around London or the outskirts then I can tell you loads of cheap places to buy fabric if you would like?

>>6604279
Yeah I remember you! Hi, that was you. Did you use Taobaoring? I mean, not that it really matters. I had to ship EMS or AIR once and it still got opened up. The package was really tiny, which I don't understand why it did...

I'm also the same anon who bought $60 of stuff from Taobaonow and shipping was $100 so yeah... Never using anyone other than Taobaoring for SAL ever again >.>

If I were to ship EMS or AIR, I'd rather pay extra and just buy it off of eBay or something. It's not worth the shipping price to buy from Taobao.

>>6604288

Thank you, I thought this might be the case

>>6604287
The FAQ tells you for christ sake.

Just get out.

>>6604300
I READ THE FUCKING FAQ I DON'T SEE WHAT HTE FUCK THE POINT IS

>>6604305
"Tripcodes can help verify a user's identity to others, and are a type of pseudo-registration."
Are you mentally challenged?

>>6604305
Jesus. Just get out.

>>6604293

Thanks for the info on fabric. Always love an excuse to go to Ikea so I will definitely check that out.

Unfortunately nowhere near London, up in Leeds, but thank you!

>>6604334
No problem! I love Ikea too haha
I'm not too familiar with Leeds, I'll be up there in a few weeks to visit my friend so maybe I'll find something nice but here are some general fabric finder tips:
>Are there any towns/areas with a big immigrant population nearby? Particularly Indian/Pakistani etc. I can p much guarantee that there will be inexpensive fabric stores there! You will also find lots of great trimmings in a wide spectrum of colours
>Car boot sales. Not idea but alright for practice materials - don't buy anything that smells though
>Ask someone! All the fashion students will be advised by their lecturers on local fabric shops so ask them on where to go or ask a friend to ask them!

The first tip is the best though tbh it's never failed me before and the prices are usually dirt cheap to be competitive or able to be bargained down

>>6604148
I get your point. But he said it was okay to buy it. I'll talk to someone in the area and see if I could pay monthly for an expensive one. Most that I found in USA Guitar center stores are about 500+

>>6604397
Your relationship probably isn't going to last and his birthday isn't important. It's another fucking day of the month. Instead, you should buy yourself a nice lolita dress with that money.

>>6604251
yes you'll prob get hit with customs

>>6604450
Haha fuck you. You dont know that, and he means more to me than buying a damn dress. Anyways I cant find the one I want anywhere so that doesn't matter anyway.

You must not be in a relationship if you think buying so much shit for yourself is more important than caring for others.

Does anyone know where I can find boots like the one in this image, but possibly with a lower heel or flat?

And a good shop that sells winter hats and scarves? Things like the knitted hat in this image and berets, along with scarves? It would be a huge plus if they also sold nice and cheap jewelry, as well.

>>6604554
get trolled darling. dont listen to posts lke that

>>6604557
forever 21

Guys where on Taobao, what shop is the Miracle Candy replica that RTBU on eBay sells?
Anyone know what brand?
Does K-star have its own Taobao shop?

I just don't want to pay $80 + $25 shipping from RTBU's eBay for a dress they probably bought from Taobao and are reselling...

>>6604015
I sell it on ebay.
I'm doing that right now, but that stuff was so small I'm listing is as girls aged 4 - 12!

>>6604596

On Taobao.

>>6604596
>>6604604

And besides, Forever 21 only has one knit hat ATM anyway, and it's this one. And I don't like it.

So, not really.

Guys I bought sex toys off of Taobao in hopes that I might like masturbating, but I really don't. I hate it. I get no pleasure from it. I only like doing sexual stuff if my boyfriend is the one doing it to/for/with me. I don't like touching myself, but I like my boyfriend touching me - is that normal?

>>6604615
There is no normal when it comes to sex. Just do what you enjoy.

>>6604617
But I mean is it normal if I don't like touching myself, but I love it when my boyfriend touches me? Like I LOVE having sex with him, I just hate touching myself.

Sage for off-topic, it's just REALLY been bothering me and I've been thinking about buying more toys from Taobao in more hopes that I might like it? I bought a bunch of kinky stuff from Taobao recently to see if I would like doing it with my boyfriend, but I won't be able to see my boyfriend for at least 6 months....

>>6604619
Seriously, don't even worry about it. At all.
Don't try to pressure yourself into liking something you don't like.

>>6604619

I hope you're not anon up above who didn't know what a tripcode was... because you forgot to sage.

Can anyone else see when it says (You) on my posts?

>>6604658
No.

>>6602744
Ahahaha, the penis iphone plugs guy knows about us, albeit in a confused way. He made a topic on baidu asking the 'international friends' why they were looking at his item. http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2138579033

Wat.

>>6604696
Hahahaha!

What does it mean if the price is crossed out? I google translated the page, and below it says "Store VIP Login advantage of this offer and see if" but that's on the completely next line so I'm not sure if it's related.

I'm so excited guys. My package finally updated. Air mail that was shipped on the 18th of January from china has hit the usa. Granted I have no idea why my package has gone through KEARNY, NJ as I'm in Seattle and all of my mail normally goes through San Francisco’s customs. But still.

Spade bag on taobao ? Or similar?

>>6604557

Well if anyone was also wondering, I managed to find shoes like that in a smaller heel:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp1001.1000999.2.201.vVUqXz&id=164915173

Sadly there's only like 2 reviews and only one good one. Not sure if I should take a chance on it.

I'm sad that there are no decently priced ma*rs replicas on taobao yet!

>>6604293

Thanks! I send a PM to Lady Sloth

>>6604753
>KEARNY, NJ as I'm in Seattle and all of my mail normally goes through San Francisco’s customs. But still.
LOL ME TOO! I live in Oregon and my stuff is ALWAYS hitting San Francisco's customs, but my Taobao order is currently getting checked in New York.

>>6604789
Take a chance God. I never even knew or scared about reviews until I kept hearing this nonsense about it.

>>6604789
67yuan and free domestic shipping. Omg no fucking shit take the risk who cares about the reviews. This is also one of those generic pairs of shoes that Taobao sellers sell at all different prices. You found one of the cheaper ones, congrats.

I am stuck at work and my package finally came and my bf is now taunting me with pictures of it
and the cat
and he does not understand just how much i want this package

>>6604834
>>6604838

Ha, thanks, will do then. This shop has some other shoes I see around for cheap, too. I am a size 34 on Taobao (US Women's 4) so it is nice to find shops that carry my size.

>>6604851

*some other cute shoes, should probably emphasis that

>>6604619
>>There is no normal when it comes to sex
>>But I mean is it normal
>>There is no normal

Seriously?

>>6604851
Size 34? Man I'm jealous! How tall are you? It seems like every store ONLY cares sizes 34 through 37. I'm a size 38/39 (US 7/7.5) and I'm told I have tiny feet for my height.

>>6604850
Do you and your boyfriend live together?
That's a really cat.

>someone in an LDR here...

>>6604880
cute cat*

>>6604878

I am 5 ft tall. Don't be jealous, the only place I can find cute, affordable shoes in my size is Taobao and maybe ebay.

>>6604878
Oh god do not be jealous of size 34/35. I'm about size 4 1/2-5 myself and it is impossible to find shoes in America unless I go to the department store and pay at least $80 for a pair. Thank god for taobao but it's a risk for quality and sizing :c I wish I was a size US 6 or something. I am 5ft flat too.

sage for emo rant

>>6604894
Well, Taobao is the only place I shop at... And I can never find my shoe size on Taobao without having to pay extra. I mean "normal shoes"

>>6604896

Oh god all those short girl small feet feels. I feel your pain.

Do you ever peruse the children's section to see if you can find anything good? Sometimes I can find stuff there that isn't too "kid looking".

Wow... So I bought a kigurumi from a Chinese seller on eBay back in November. It still hadn't arrived by January so I opened a case and the seller refunded.

Out of the blue today I got an email from the seller:

'On Nov.15th you purchased from our shop,you opened case because at that time you didn't receive ,but we did sent your item.

We know you already received.

Will you return money back to us ?'

Um, excuse me? WTF.

Sage for offtopic.

>>6604906
I never have, because I usually prefer something with a bit of heels because I am so short. I probably should check them out for flats though, because I buy my flats at forever 21 despite the fact that they are all size 6. Actually, a lot of my shoes are size 6. It is so sad having shoes that don't fit lol. I recently bought a pair of heels and flats on taobao as size 35, I was so worried they weren't going to fit but they ended up being SO loose... it is such a gamble. Not to mention the heels were like 800-900g, sigh. Then I bought a 3rd pair of flats (also 35) and they were a bit tight...

>>6604910
Do you got tracking code for it?

>>6604918

The same thing happened to me as well. It's why I decided to only buy size 34 just to be safe, I like my shoes to be pretty tight.

>>6604922
Nope. So how they can accuse me of lying about not receiving it I have no idea...

>>6604544
Darn I've never been hit with customs before, should I call? My package was only worth about $75 too...

>>6604880
yes, we live together! and thank you, she is a princess and will love the praise lol.
buut if it helps, we were ldr for 4 years, and have been living together for the last 2!
ldr can work out, you just have to work at it!

>>6604251
send an email to usps customer service regarding the status of the package, saying that other packages you've ordered have cleared customs within a day or two

if the value of the parcel's under $200/it's marked as a gift you shouldn't get hit with customs though

>>6604770
Would like this too if anyone has any links.

>>6604832
Well that makes me feel a little bit better then! I hope I'll get it soon, this package is just three pairs of boots from An*tai*na but they were my birthday gift to myself - in fact they actually were shipped on my birthday so i'm pretty excited. (I love coincidental dates. Don't mind me)

CHINA COME BACK
I'M DYING I NEED YOU

Tried this in the last thread but it either really doesn't exist or I just posted too close to the bump limit and got over looked.

Quick question, does anyone know where I could find a black maxi skirt (not made of wool) on taobao that doesn't have an elastic waist band but a zipper instead? This is killing me. I've been looking for days and can't find one and I'm not sure if maybe I'm just searching under the wrong thing or what. The only one I've found wasn't quite what I really wanted.

I have to imagine that plain black maxi skirt without an elastic waistband has to exist!

>>6604293
Not sure if you're still here but could you throw up that list of places to buy cheap fabric from in London?
Thanks.

For those wanting to find their perfect cutsews. You may want to consider making your own.

pretty laces!

>>6605165
why don't you make one? it would be ridiculously easy.

>>6605165

It's so eady to modify one with an elastic waist band to a zipper one. Really simple you could even do it by hand in a half hour or less!

>>6605740
>>6605725
I can't really sew and have never made my own stuff but if you wouldn't mind maybe linking to some tutorial, I would be more than willing to try to learn! :)

Does anyone know of any stores that have a variety of hair clips? I'm looking for anything from fruit, biscuits/crackers, pastries, bows, flowers or generally anything cute.

>>6605778
seconding this, the only shop i have bookmarked is:

>>6605756
http://sayyestohoboken.com/2010/09iy-making-a-gathered-skirt-with-bd-from-an-old-elastic-skirt.html

Something like this. Though this is taking and edge off of the bottom. But easiest way from my experience is to undo a seam at the waist band remove the elastic. And then from there use your judgement to figure out where the best to place your zipper.

>>6605784
That actually looks pretty easy. I'll have to look into getting hand held sewing machine thing.

>>6605789

My best advice is to not buy one of those. You are better off hand sewing and that takes quite a bit of attention. You don't need to do a perfect slip stitch but a basic uniform dotted stitch would work.

>>6605789
Don't bother with those, they don't work. Either borrow a sewing machine or hand stitch it.

>>6605063
omg do you have a blog or an email or something I can talk to you about? I've been in an LDR for the last 16 months, and I really need help :c I feel like I use Taobao and shopping addiction in replace of a real "physical" friend (boyfriend) T^T

sage for offtopic

I am so excited! Just few minutes ago the post delivered my first taobao package! I am willing to take pictures and review items, give links, the whole ordeal. I was too lazy to include a pair of shorts that look like a skirt (for my friend) and couple of scrapbooking items. I also did not get the large, white Rilakkuma head since it was out of stock.

I used pruany as my shipping service and the package was delivered to Finland.

Item weight: Pruany said 4,5 kilos, Finnish customs 6,5 kg. I might have to by a scale to weight the items just be sure.

- Total for items and their shipping within China: 123,4 USD (126 USD with paypal fees)
- Pruany's service fee:
9,87 USD (no paypal fee, since they refunded one item and I used the money from that to pay the fee)
- EMS: 84,72 USD
94,73 USD with paypal fee as well as cargo insurance (I was really nervous so, whatever)
- Customs fee:
24,04 USD

Pruany:
It took me a while to figure how their shopping system works, since to a total noob like me it seemed really confusing. I do like their cart a lot since you can add pictures and whatnot. Their english is not that good, but with my order they did get their point across and vice versa. I think that if you have a more complex order it might get confusing, but who knows.
They answer questions and message REALLY quickly, usually within the same day. They also ask you if you want a refund for an item that's out of stock or the said item in another colour. They did not take pictures, but I believe you'd have to ask them specifically to do that. Pruany packages shit TIGHT. Nothing's broken and everything seems to be in place, but I'm slightly worried if I had ordered something more fragile, since the package seems a bit soft?

Overall I'd say pruany is pretty good shipping service. Their english is a bit expressionless and the experience is not personal, but they are cheap(ish?), they answer really fast and their cart is nice.

>>6603063
Not the exact one and doesn't come in white, but it is a violin bag? Maybe you can grab some search terms from this

>>6606058
can you review all the rilakkuma things? thanks!

Do you know good shops for steampunk clothes? like leather garments etc.

>>6606126
Certainly. It might take me a moment to post pics since I have no idea where the cable for my camera is.

Rilakkuma head: The fabric is super soft! The head is really big and it was the largest item of my package. It feels a bit lumpy, but that might just be that it has been stuffed tightly with the other items. The seams are tight and no threads or stuffing are escaping.

Rilakkuma cardboard boxes: I have two of these, a small brown one and a large white one. Both are made from pretty thick cardboard. Super easy to assemble. The smaller one holds items about the size of cds, while the larger easily fits A4 papers in it. The smaller one is undamaged, but the large has few dents and folds that cardboard gets if it's bent. Nothing too major though.

Rilakkuma bento box: Though the picture has the smaller one, I decided to take the larger. Similar to the rectangular it has two clasps that hold the upper part down, a fork and a cute white triangular part that you can either use to divide the food in two parts, or take away. (I'll post a picture later). The material is super thick plastic and even the fork feels sturdy.

Why do we have three anons in this thread who don't know how to sage properly you have to type sage into the email field

I'm currently pissed because my EMS parcel has been in customs for three days whilst my last one spent no more than an hour there. Not even sure what they're doing with it, I only bought clothes, shoes and wigs.

Does anyone know any shops that sell good mini-crowns? Not after the blingy princessy ones either (because that's all I can find)... Or can I get some help with search terms, if it's not too much trouble?

Something along the lines of Suppurate System?

>>6606331
Seconding this. All I've been able to find are wedding tiaras.

>>6606331
>>6606345
There are no gothic lolita crowns on taobao (there were some sweet ones but they aren't sold anymore because of being unpopular), only things with crowns on them.

The only site I know that would sell stuff similar to Suppurate System would be necrosarium.com but they have no crowns currently, I think.

>>6606413
They have nothing on the site currently thought because of the website change.

>>6606413
I see. That makes sense I suppose.

Ah, Necrosarium was my first choice, but I was hoping to find other designs :(. Thanks for the help anyway, anon!

I'm trying to add items to my cart and Bhiner is telling me that my quota has been met and to try again later. I've added like 3 things today.
There are a lot of things in my cart. That's because the way I shop I add a lot of things then narrow it down. But I haven't had them request shipping or anything rude like that.
Will I be able to add more things?

>>6606413
The only crown I've seen on Taobao was a cosplay one on Fantasy Sheep and it sold out fast.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spa1z10.1.4004-687455962.12.cyOv7X&=16883321917

>>6606471
I do the exact same thing, just in case there are things I know I'll forget (literally can't remember much for long) so I load up my cart and then prune it.
You should be able to add more! Have you been quoting items or just adding them?
It also may be automatic - perhaps there is a set amount that triggers that response. For now, just add items to a cart on taobaoring?

>>6606479
Rococo Soul had tons of sweet lolita crowns in the past.

>>6606482
Just adding them. I don't quote them because that's work they'd have to do and that would be a pain. I'm adding the rest to my Amazon wishlist. But that doesn't change currencies.
I know I should be able to add more because I've seen people here with giant orders! My order's not going to be giant or tiny. Just like $200 give or take.

>>6606512
Use yoybuy to add items then, since they give you equivalent currencies. You can always transfer the items back over to bhiner once their system calms down.

>>6606058
Wow what a small shitty order
Fucking waste of money
You have terrible taste

>>6604334
I used to live in Leeds.

Go to the market for fabric. There are three-ish stores inside the market building itself, which sell generic fare for a decent price - mostly cheap & cheerful, you'll be stumped for interesting stuff. The £1 bargain bins are great.

Sporadically, fabrics are sold in the outdoor areas, too. Those shops are only open for the day, but generally supply really interesting stuff for cheap. When the Indian Market is on in the outdoor area, you can get lots of sari fabrics and interesting beaded trims. When they're selling fabric other than that, the selection is more conventional.

There is also a fabric shop across from the Corn Exchange near the Travelling Man geek ephemera shop, a health food shop and several vintage clothes stores - don't know street names, sorry, but if you start from the bus stop in front of the Corn Exchange, cross the road and go up the obvious alleyway. You should have a little coffee booth and a vintage clothes shop on your right, and the shop on your left. They have a big fabric selection on the bottom floor, but it's expensive. However, the downstairs bargain rack is a treat - the remnants are priced individually and can be rather large, so don't knock it. They also do habidashery.

There are two habidasheries in the market, as well - one does more sort of scrapbook-type stuff, and the other does more sewing-orientated stuff. Both are pretty cheap. One has a big selection of lace, as well as some lace bargain bins which aren't ENTIRELY shitty machine lace. Also cheap felt, thread, etc.

>>6606058
What's that white and pink thing?

Strange request, but here we go:

I am totally pumped about 15th Century stuff thanks to the recent exhumation of King Richard III. Anyone know where I can find 15th Century-inspired fashions on Taobao?

>>6606539
Thanks anon! I've walked past the fabric stalls in the market a bunch of times but never stopped to look. I'll definitely go back there and check it out

And I know the fabric shop you mean, it's like a treasure trove but yes, so expensive. Again, I'll pay attention to the bargain rack next time I'm in there

>>6606058
Where did you get the letter stamps?

>>6606512
It fixed itself. I wonder if it was some unrelated error.

What's the term for cutsew?

>>6606540
Lace tape for scrapbooking.

>>6606597
Here you go. I got both, upper and lower case. If you are interested, check the shop too. They've got tons of other stamps and scrapbooking materials.

Does anyone know if this site is legit?

>>6605617
I'm always here hahahaha

Okay these are the ones I personally visit and regard as the cheapest/best value but there are a lot more:
>Berwick Street
This is the main stretch of fabric shops and are great for samples but not for actually buying the material unless there's something specific you are after. The majority only do samples at certain times and if the shop isn't too crowded - you'll generally be limited to 3-4 a person. I advise you visit alone if you're sampling because some of the shops get moody (especially Cloth House and The Berwick Street Cloth Shop). The only place with good value fabric in general is Borovick Fabrics but prepare to engage in some banter with the guys who work there, they have a 10% student discount as well.
There are loads of wholesale jewellers and trimming suppliers but some aren't open to the public. Again there's only one that in my opinion is affordable and it's called New Trimming's (Noel Street, Left turning as you walk down Berwick Street) it's run by this little Chinese lady and most of her stuff is from taobao but the reselling price isn't terribly extortionate so it's good for when you need things quickly!

>>6607107

>>6605617
>Goldhawk Road
CHEAP FABRIC EVERYWHERE ALL SORTS ALL KINDS EVERYWHERE
Go to Goldhawk Station and turn right as you leave, fabric shops are on both your left and right- average price is ~£4p/m for most fabrics
A-One fabrics also has a haberdashery up the stairs which is well priced.
The only thing about Goldhawk Road is that the shop owners can be really creepy so go with a friend or two because it can be uncomfortable
Shepherds Bush Market is on your left as well (you can't miss the sign) and it's great for haberdashery and bridal related trimmings etc. There's also some fabric stalls but they aren't that great.

>Ilford Lane
It's just on the outskirts of London and is a bit of a journey if you're not local but it's really good for cheap cheap fabrics (some are like £1 p/m)
Ilford Lane is seriously long but you get to a point where the fabric shops start to thin out and you can turn back.
You can try and haggle with some of the shittier shops (aka the ones that don't look slick and modern) but this will have varying effects depending on who you are
There is an A* trimmings shop called Braids n Buttons (Bedford Road, on your left as you walk down Ilford Lane) it's actually heaven and filled with laces, baids etc. in pretty much every colour under the sun! They have cheap general haberdashery bits as well like machine needles and oil. They different weights of fusible interfacing for like £1 p/m as well

This concludes my essay on cheap fabric shops! Hope some of this is helpful and you're welcome to ask me questions or w/e - sorry it's so terribly long hahaha

is for my sister, she love the panties.

some taobao shop ?

What are all the lolita taobao shops that offer custom made stuff?

>>6607177
RQ-BL also got a steampunk collection but I don't know their taobao.

>>6607172
I'm 5 foot 2 and they barely fit me. They don't even go up to my butt and I feel like I'm going to rip them if I even try... They are way too short and tight.

>>6607190
Gah damn that's too bad I'm 5'4''. I guess I could try to find them at another shop. I wish sweetmini was more consistent though, I've bought tights from them that have plenty of room and others that don't even go over my butt.

>>6607196
Well, she's not the one who makes the tights. They all come from factories :/ They're all the same product though, no matter where you buy it from. A lot of people lie about measurements just to get a sale

>>6607107
Seconding Borovick's. Fabulous for discounts especially if you are buying a fair bit, and they are very good at helping you choose a decent fabric. My favourite fabric shop in town.

Hey guys where on Taobao can I find DESIGNER REPLICA PURSES
Gucci, coach, prada, things like that. I don't want things that have "the tag", I want a noticeable print so that it looks real.

AKA the difference between an AP printed replica and a non-printed replica.

>>6607218
Are you serious? I just looked up "gucci" and got tons of replicas. They're english brand names so just type the name in...

>>6607230
I have before, but none of them are PRINTED ones. I care most about Coach, and I get only one result for a cheap printed replica. What I mean by cheap is a replica, and I mean UNDER 100USD.

So under 600yuan.

>>6607236
you MUM lives in the UK

>>6607241
FUCK YOUR "MUM"

Why do Europeans say "MUM" instead of "MOM"

What the fuck is wrong with you guys!

I bought replicas and customs killed them.

Chanel and Louboutin.

They destroyed my purchases because they were replicas.

It was a great way to waste my money :/

>>6607247
What do you mean they destroyed it? Did you order other things? Did you never receive your package? Please be more detailed, I'm interested in hearing about this.

>>6607255
Not OP but customs cut replicas into little pieces when being found.

Pic releated.

>>6607245
Don't most Europeans say "Mama"?

>>6607300
Holy fuck. How horrifying

>>6607255
Right after customs they were seized for authenticity inspection, it said something like that on the postal tracking page. And then they were destroyed, I never received them. :) I ordered them separately because I ordered too many things (clothes) at the same time and asked my SS to send them in different packages for that reason. I used EMS and idk if that's why they got inspected

>>6607323
I assume you are not in the US? Where are you located?

Also, EMS is supposed to push trough customs, not the other way around.

I didn't know sellers on Taobao could see where buyer views were coming from.

>>6607196
I bought those from ebay for $9 with shipping, and they were great. The "transparent" part was probably 60 den and the stockings was 100 den. Also I'm 5'6 and 142lbs, and they could probably go bigger. If you are interested I can give you a link when I get home.

>>6608592
>I didn't know sellers on Taobao could see where buyer views were coming from.
I don't know either, but it would not be surprising if it were a function on taobao for shop owners to view where their pageviews originate. No need to take him seriously though. Because even the people on baidu are laughing at how his Engrish makes no sense. If you actually try to message him you'll probably just get nonsense, if you want to buy it go to an SS, and just ignore this guy

>>6607236
you do realize you just told petronova the person who made the keyword spreadsheet to gtfo

Anyhow
Customs sent me a letter telling me they missed information about what's in the parcel. Either someone somewhere screwed up and lost the papers or customs are being assholes. Either way I'll probably be charged a lot in fees. Sucks. Has this happened to anybody else?

Is Taobaoring open during this period of time?

>>6608843
It's Chinese New Years. No one is going to be taking orders.

Does anyone have links to long sailor-style coats or jackets that aren't the liz lisa replicas that keep showing up when i type 水手外套 or 水手大衣? It seems there aren't many at all. Also requesting jacket styles similar to the liz lisa ones (the ones with the skirt pleating at the bottom? is there even a specific search for that)

Pic related, it's one of the "original" ones I've found, I'm really iffy on the quality though. Though the store has some really cheap bloomers! http://dollydelly.tmall.com/?spm=a0o.1000855.0.195.y2z5W4

>>6608870
I mean, something like pic related. sort of like a drop waist coat with a pleated skirt at the bottom? is there a specific search term for that? Thank you~

I asked this a few weeks ago but didn't get an answer. Has anyone managed to buy long props (100cm+) on taobao? The four shopping services I've asked so far said they can't.

Fingers are certainly not crossed, you dumb cunt. Clearly you didn't learn anything and still have your head firmly wedged up that unreasonable little arse of yours.

I hope to god you don't get your parcel. You need to be fucked over you lazy, entitled piece of shit. After all, you clearly still can't accept it wasn't your fault, nothing if either the fault of people like you. If you ran into the middle of the road and got run over, it'd be the driver's fault.

So replicas aren't legal, what exactly counts as a replica? What about knock offs or that.

I'm out of hospital, so now I am upright I am posting my taobao order(s) - this was actually part of 3 orders, but some of it was not /cgl/ related, so I've consolidated to one post. (in b4 shitty small order)....

I used the replicas to establish what I did/didn't look good in Lolita, sold them on, and have now been buying up the originals. I'm keeping the Vampire Requiem though - shit's amazing, I've worn it to work with a suit jacket and everything.

Waiting on the wig, pink bag and jewellery stand at the moment.

>>6609030
ugh, I missed that blank patch of canvas to the right. Sorry. Also, just wanted to say thanks to the anon who originally posted a link to that wig!

>>6609024
Only in Italy and France I believe (to buy them). Everywhere else afaik it's only illegal to sell them.

>>6609024
1:1 brand replicas but then again, it only applies to high fashion brands as it seems.

>>6609024
Things with logos or things that are designed exactly like something else with the same exact specific details. Things that aren't unique at all or have very basic designs don't count. Ie, that MM dress that is the most replicated lolita dress in all of existence, technically it's legal because the design is very basic. The laws protecting logos and original designs are pretty stringent but for basic designs it would be really stupid to try to decide who thought of something like a heart shaped purse or something first.

How long did DOL take? The used to take ages to get stuff out.

>>6609070
Not very long at all; the HMHM dress took the longest at nearly 2 months around November. To be fair, I got in the Taobao craze early - I think I ordered the DoL stuff around August last year. Maybe 2 weeks? Came with the characteristic sticky gunk all over the JSK fabric, but I was able to wash it all out in the washing machine after judicious application of Sticky Stuff Remover.

I'm looking for creepy/cute stuff. Is there like a chinese word for that or something?

>>6609093
you're probably about to get torn apart jsyk

>>6609093
Nope, just search for brand names but most stuff like this got Zipper (japanese fashion magazine) in the name.

>>6609070

I'm not the person you asked, but i recently ordered the same vampire reqiuem replica dresses and it only took a few days for them to arrive at Toaboaring's warehouse/office after I paid for them, they were faster than Infanta imo.

>>6608780
It's a common thing for a website/blog to track number of pageviews and country source. For example for even Storenvy, you can see number of visitors per day/week, top referring URLs, top search engine terms, and top visitor countries. I think the last time I went to taobao.com, I got a survey for international viewers?

lol he's probably like 4CHAN!!! satanic owls not related

Has anyone ever ordered figures/toys? Are there certain stores that have really nice ones?

>>6608870
Infanta has one.

Term is 海军长款大衣 for sailor coats.

what is the search term for fawn print cardigans?

>>6608979
You will be pleased to know that the package was waiting at the post office for me, I just got it!

It's lovely

<33

Everything went better than expected!

Are there any shops that carry clothes that fits non-asian people (e.g. people with larger chest)?

>>6609349
Hello, fellow large chest anon! Some shops carry sizes as large as an asian 4XL (it fits an European L well). Use the spreadsheet, there ought to be a proper word for bigger sizes, or just throw XL (with how many X's you need) to the search bar, narrow it down to Women's clothing etc. Chrome keeps translating everything as "fat girl apparel", but don't worry. Trial, error and lots of googling through taobao should help. I know there are few stores that are specially for larger girls, but I for one found absolutely nothing from them.

>>6609349
I'm a fan of 38miss on taobao. The model looks like a sausage but the clothing is cute.

>>6604287
>sage again for off topic
>doesnt sage

>>6604910
'Hello,

This is not harassment
If you are we, your buyers got money back before package arrive, how do you think?
If your boss don't pay salary to you after you work, how do you think?'

Ok, does anyone know if can you block eBay sellers from contacting you because I'm getting sick of this?

>>6609476
Report them to ebay?

>>6609476
There are some stupid fucking sellers and buyers out there. Does their item page/store page say anywhere "if not received after 30 working days, we refund."
If it does, screencap that and then put that in a report.

>>6608756
Ohh that'd be great, thanks!

Anyone bought a chiffon lolita blouse? i cant find any besides one by magic-tea-party

>>6609526
*that are short sleeved

found a few that had full sleeves, looking for short or 3/4

I usually order clothing on taobao but my friend wants me to add a cosplay prop to my order, a Kyoko Sakura staff specifically. It detaches into 7 pieces so the size shouldn't be too bad, but I'm really afraid of it seeming suspicious since it is a spear. Anyone have experience with this kind of thing?

How do you know if your package is going to get a customs fee or not?

>>6609659
Factors I know of:
-your country
-how much your package is worth
-shipping method???? (EMS might tend to get a custom fee more often).


Californian here, Ive had $200 packages never touched. I think girls in Europe (more specifically the UK) tend to get fee'd.

>>6609829
I live in the US and its 200$ and I was planning to go EMS because of the discount fee but I might use SAL.

Thanks for the info! Ive never had to deal with it before so I'll be quite confused if I have to.

>>6609866
>>6609829
>>6609659
if you are in the US: FedEX and UPS give customs bills. EMS, SAL, and DHL do not. Basically anything that ends up going through USPS is safe. over 2 years shopping taobao, big orders, small orders, dozens of packages a year, never one fee using those methods. Hope that helps.

anyone know where to get the fashion sized MLP from taobao?

Does anyone know where I can get cute clothing similar to the things Pinku! Project wears? (I know they have their own shop)

Preferably, these things would have a skirt that could fit a petti underneath. Pastels are welcome, but I am open to other colors.

>>6610018
Seconding this request! Specifically the same dresses that can be found on coscolle

>>6609866
I order bulk products from Japan frequently and mark the customs honestly using EMS. Sometimes the boxes reach up to $1,000 in value and I've never had to pay customs.

I'm not sure if there's a difference in the eyes of USPS between EMS from China or Japan though.

>>6609894
>>6610048
Great! Thanks you guys!

anyone know where i can get diy accessories, like heart-shaped buttons and tiny ribbons?

>>6610073
I do GO's for lucky packs and they regularly go from 80k-100k yen. Shipped ems to the usa and have never paid customs.

>>6609260
>>6609278
Thank you! I was looking for less lolita-ish coats, but this is a very helpful start.

Is there a Chinese word for phone cover?

Has anyone seen anything that looks like this on Taobao

>>6609030
link to wig?

>>6610273
手機套

>>6604557
what is ebay

Anyone have a clue for shops / search terms I could use to find really colourful/bright/neon accessories n stuff? Rave-y/cyber-y stuff?

Am I the only one who can't access the Pruany website at the moment?

>>6610865
works okay for me

>>6610865
No problems here

>>6609310

I hope you're gang raped.

Finally got my parcel after having to pay 2000 SEK in customs. SO MUCH FUN. Fuck this country.

Everything is absolutely wonderful though, so there's that. If you'e considering buying The name of Rose by Chess Story, I really recommend it - it's gorgeous irl. Very lightweight though.

>>6611067

Did you order a lot or something?
2000 SEK is over 200 Euro's, am I right?

>>6611098
Around 200 euro, yeah.

I did order a lot but not more than most people - order was around 600 euro with shipping included. It's customs fault for being dicks, they caused me so much stress this week, so I'm just glad it's over.

>>6611124

Hmm your customs sound shitty :(
The Dutch ones are greedy too but yours sound even worse!
My biggest nightmares are my parcels either going missing/stolen or getting a customs bill when it comes to ordering overseas.

>>6611067
I recently had to pay 17 € for a 39 dollar mahjong set (delivery was $55). Protectionism sucks ass.

I'm looking for cute hair accessories. Just like clips and shit that I can add to my order. Maybe one that has a flower clip and a pom pom one, but other cute crap as well. I'm not picky. I'm bad at searching for a shop that has more than a few hair things. I don't think it would be worth buying hair things from more than one shop.

Ordering from Europe sounds fucking brutal,

what would the search terms be for fishnet shirts, dresses, tights?

>>6611144
>>6611206

It really fucking sucked, they took five days to contact me after it arrived and I was left to wonder what they were doing to my poor parcel in customs... Doesn't help I'm currently going off my meds - they kind of helped but made me too tired to work, study, or well do anything. I'm just happy every single thing I ordered is perfect and fits perfectly except for one top.

>>6611256

one of my friends was hit with swedish customs as well and had to pay about the same amount. I think customs tend to notice the really big packages with lots of stuff inside although it's marked with a small value.
I'm a bit worried to order packages with more than a just a few items simply because of this reason, getting hit by customs and having to pay more than the cost of the original package would suck

>>6611342
Yeah, that's probably the case. Last parcel was released from customs after like ten minutes, and it was a lot smaller than this one. I'm doing SAL and smaller orders from now on.

Does anyone know how long Sea shipping takes to USA? I've never used it but I saw Taobaoring had it as an option and it's pretty cheap but there's no time estimation.

>>6611427
They wouldn't put a time estimation as sea shipping can really vary A LOT. I don't know about the USA, but I was told for the UK it can take anything from 1 month to 4 months. It will depend on how close you are to the coast as well.

>>6611427
They have a shipping time guide here which is p useful:
http://www.taobaoring.com/trackingkills.php

>>6611435
Oh jeez. I knew something that cheap had to have a catch to it. Definitely something I'd consider for the future though.

>>6611447
Thank you so much. I'm on the East Coast so I'm hoping that'll give me some luck.

>>6611427
I'd only recommend sea shipping if you're doing large item purchases like furniture. The anon is right that sea shipping can vary a lot.

Lol...I sort of want this

>>6611470
speaking of which i wonder if the quality of furnatiure anons bed will be ikea status or something ;;

>>6611494
That's really funny. The price is a little high for a hanger, though, unless it's one of each, then it's a really good deal.

>>6611507
Well, this is dumb, I just found out they are from urban outfitters>
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urb/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=255954&parentid=SUGGESTIVE+SEARCH+RELTS
They are made of cardbord I was expecting it to be wood,

>>6611514
If by "from" you mean "marked up and resold by".

>>6611610
huh? which is the original source then?

>>6611649
Who knows, it's an endless cycle of reselling/stealing to resell on taobao and Urban Outfitters is WELL known for stealing indie designer ideas in the first place beyond even reselling Chinese stuff.

>>6611256
Probably not still here, but what meds are you going off of?

Does anyone want to do a joint order? I only want two things and I'd rather not pay more in fees and shipping than I'm paying in items.

Wow, my order arrived quite unexpectedly.
I used SAL and it was shipped on the second, so it was quite a surprise!
Usually SAL takes about a week or 2 for me from China to the Netherlands, but I'm not complaining.
Also, no customs fee, yay!
Everything seems to be in there, no items missing :)
I might upload some pics later but I'm in a rush right now.
Anyone interested in a review on Infanta's green Military jsk + cape set and Chess Story vest?
Also got some other stuff but I'm sure that's been reviewed/pictured a lot before (DoL vampire reqiuem and Infanta snow white bonnets and head bows).

>>6613022
Yes please on the Infanta set

>>6611884

I'm always here I have no life. I'd rather not talk about it, sorry.

>>6613022
Yes review them please! I'm quite interested in the Chess Story vest, I'd like to hear how consistent they are in their quality.

>>6613030
>>6613081

I will do pictures and stuff tomorrow since daylight has gone now and pics with just flash usually end up sucking...

I think we need a new thread.

>>6613661
Yup, autosage confirmed
