I placed this order late February and now it's in the mail, shipped with EMS. Everything arrived on time except for the orange Asuka wig, which they told me I would have to wait till 18 days. The Sheryl wig however made no mention of a delay, and it's not at the warehouse yet.

I was hoping to probably put those two together with another order I'm making for April.

Omg I bought these and they are EXACT SS replicas. They don't have "Secret Shop" on the sole but I have 4 pairs. One thing about them: They smell. I'm not talking about the typical shoe or chemical smell... These are MUCH much stronger. After being aired outside for nearly a week, I still can't get the smell out. It's a very strong chemical smell, and kind of sickening. If you're ever been into a "darkroom" (photography), it smells like the "Fix" (type of chemical) but 100x stronger. They stunk up my socks after wearing them as well. Aside from that, they're the same quality as Antaina. The only difference is the bows are shaped exactly the same as SS.

Where did you find those galaxy skirts?

Still waiting on my order (Pic related: Without the beret cause that one was out of stock forever) , Krad Lankrete skirt is still not at my SS, early of march my ass... The rest of the order is complete but that skirt man. A lot went wrong with this order, Chess Story skirt was delayed as well (Luckily it is finally there), the coat i wanted in black but was only there in green (So i went with green, cause it is my second choice), the arcapasso has some ugly bright yellow headbow instead of the one pictured (My SS was sweet enough to offer to send it back and ask for one with a proper bow, but i told them i could fix it myself. Don't wanna wait again for a long time). I don't blame my SS for this though, they were really sweet and trying to help as much as they can. The sellers are just dicks I guess.

This made me tear up a bit...
I am the shitty small order troll by the way.

I think I'm going to be done with Taobao. I've spent over $3,000 total on my last 4 Taobao orders, and this order is my last.

It is by far my most shittiest, smallest order I have came to order, and it's on its way via SAL. I'm trying to get over my mad online shopping/hoarding addiction, so I've been off of these threads to cope with it. Instead, I've picked up online gaming which isn't that great either, because I just blew about $1,000 for failing a class I need for my major. I haven't been worrying about my Taobao order though. After my last order had a few items confiscated, I'm trying not to care or obsess over Taobao.

A size 7 US (which is what I am) is a size 38, however I always get a size 39 and both fit just perfectly. Sometimes 38 is too small.

I think the best thing to do is starve yourself. Honestly. Or just stop exercising. Once you stop exercising, your muscular bulky legs will turn into fat, and from there you can re-do all of your exercising/toning and hopefully they'll be more lean/thinner with how you want.

I had a problem similar (okay the exact same), and I just starved myself and continued exercising. I lost my muscle, bone mass, and now I have thinner legs and weigh just as much as before.

>>6695496
This would be awful, because if you've ever seen people who are VERY muscular, and then you have noticeable fat, they tend to look even fatter. I can't describe it very well, but if I could show you pictures of my ex boyfriend, oh God everyone would call him fat... He "looked" fat, but he was entirely muscular with just a little bit of fat on him.

Yes, I'm aware it was unhealthy for me, or anyone to "starve themselves." When I say starve myself, I wasn't referring to eating 0 calories a day, I was referring to eating less than I normally did. As an athlete, I consume about 3,500 calories - 4,000 per day. I cut my diet down to 1,000 calories, which I consider as "starving". However other people I'm sure eat 1,000 and call it normal.

As someone in a pro-ana community, pro-ana girls use "starving" as calorie deduction. They're the same thing. No one actually goes days without starving. Even pro-ana girls.

What's the point of a tracking number if it's not 'valid'? Did they just give me a fake tracking number because people falsely claiming they haven't received items is such a problem on eBay? It was only a small order so I wasn't really expecting tracking anyway.

Yes. That is exactly why. Also, a lot of people when shopping on eBay are really stupid, and don't even pay attention to tracking. A lot of people also don't know how international shipping works unless they're people who also do e-commerce (think EGL-Comm-Sales) like themselves - so they just think "Oh, it's just a China tracking number. It'll get here eventually, I don't need that."

And the Chinese sellers think, "Since most of the people who shop here are retarded, I'll just throw in this phony tracking number and hope they don't question it because I'm registered on China's eBay and I can just say I don't speak very good English or just don't respond to their question at all!"

Not sure what you're talking about?

eBay/Paypal require proof of delivery if a buyer opens an Item Not Received case and in most countries you have to pay extra for that (eg: here in the UK it's £0.95 just to get a signature). If you're selling low value items, like he is, that wipes out a ton of profit.

eBay ALWAYS find in favour of the buyer, sometimes even if there is proof of delivery ("Ohhh I didn't sign for it! Someone must have stolen it and the postman pretended it was delivered!"). There is pretty much NO seller protection. I mentioned he found pictures of people with items they claimed not to have received? One time he forwarded them to eBay and they just didn't do anything. They told him to talk to the buyer. Obviously buyer then ignores emails.

I'm in the US, and our customs forms we fill out when mailing international has a tracking number, usually starting with US and has a bunch of numbers after it.

I live in the US and this is what our customs form looks like (second page, because first is just information). And then there are 3 copies underneath so you have to press super hard so it goes through to the LAST sheet, because the LAST sheet is YOUR copy/receipt. But this is the sheet that they stick onto the customs, the second page.

The number I circled below the barcode is the tracking number. It's not "official" tracking, because that shit is expensive. Here in the US, just shipping to the US is only $0.90 for delivery confirmation. I don't see why not everyone uses it. It's only a $1 more.

People who buy gyaru/Lizlisa/non-lolita dresses from Taobao, would you say a size S/M (I'm thin enough) would fit a girl 5 foot 7? I was very disappointed when I asked my SS to ask the seller what is the length of all of the dresses (I ordered about 15), and either the seller lied or the SS lied, but I',m going to go with the seller lying. Not a single one of those dresses fit. Four ALMOST did, but the bottom of my ass and part of my crack showed, and the other eleven fit like shirts. The ones that had "defined" bust lines, like for instance it's a babydoll style and flares out under the bust - yeah, the "bust" was at my neck because it was made for shorter girls. Some of the defined waist lines were at my bust and it just looked like I was wearing preteen clothing

The clothes are proportionally made to fit shorter people.... I mean you're buying from China after all. I don't understand why people are so shocked when it's quite obvious that there is a good chance a lot of these items won't fit :/ the length and measurements may technically fit but the dress is made to flatter short proportions. 80cm long may sound like it'll fit you at your mid-thigh for example, but the rest of the dress may have very short sleeves, the bust line at your neck, etc. as you've already experienced. Those 80cm length dresses are at the knee for me and everything else fits perfectly and I'm 5'0. If I was you I'd go for loose fitting items like chiffon glosses or long skirts, not a one piece.

All the crown/diamond stuff means is how many people bought from the shop, not necessarily the quality of the items or how good the shop is. It's just a good indicator sheerly by lemming theory.

The store's quality rating (on google translate, "the description matches") is 4.9/5.0, meaning people who bought the goods are very pleased with them. If you aren't convinced, you should check out the reviews of the individual item if they are any.

Most indie lolita shops will not have crowns because lolita is a niche fashion and thus a smaller business to attract less customers - thus, less credentials to add to the hearts/diamonds/stores.

I said that if it's the concrete chalk then sure we have that. It's just called chalk (never heard it called chalk pastel). Like, I wasn't 100% sure that chalk and hair-chalk off taobao are exactly the same. And I've never heard of RoseArt, but we have Crayola at least.

Yep, Recorded (or Recorded Signed For) is the one with the orange sticker that you have to sign for.

It's amazing how little you people know about your own postal service.

Nice attempt at a 'lol silly dumb amurricans!' dig but uh, but it's not called that here. That's your postal service, not ours and a quick google tells you that.

Since you apparently know so much about our postal system.

Ugh I have an order with them right now too, what the fuck.
Yesterday I freaked, because not only was it down, but the cache said it didn't exist.

You' ve never heard of Roseart?
I wasn't sure what brands/fanchises offered in the US were world wide. That is amazing.
Where do you live?

They are the same - I thought so when I first saw it. 'Chalk pastel' is the same as chalk - it's just used for paper.

Does Pruany do combined shipping? So, if you order more than one item from a store you pay less domestic shipping?

check the spreadsheets, its different for your needs, like big order/small order, need item fast (you will want seller with best EMS discount), custom orders you want good english skills, etc.
but right now I'm really liking Yoybuy aside from their site being screwy
