/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Anon from >>6727734

My shitty small order finally arrived (yes it is actually small and shitty, but I have a large order with shitty taste in pastel deco shit still waiting for confirmation, raeg).

As >>6727943 said, this does seem to be a stolen stock photo, as the color of the dress is a lot darker. ;_; Ah well, only 30 bucks lost.

>>6728352
but it looks accurate aside from the colour being darker?

>>6728373

Yeah, it does, and for that I'm actually pretty ecstatic. I'm just trying to tone my enthusiasm down because of what >>6727943 said about the actual material being crap (I have this weird thing where I try to lower my expectations so I'm pleasantly surprised when I get something that's higher than what I expected).

>>6728377
eh, as long as it isn't falling apart or sewn wrong with an awful fit, you can make it look less cheap.

Can you do a worn review of your items?

>>6728383

Of course! I don't know when the other part of my order will arrive so it might take a while, but I'll just repost when my items arrive and see who wants a review of what.

>>6728388
yay

hopefully my first order comes just fine

Millinery flowers- what is the search term for them? I'm looking to get some roses but am having no luck so far (except for roses that have already been used on hats or jewelry)

So, I got my order from yoybuy sent out via the alternate shipping method, but I have no idea what site to put the tracking number into to track it while it's in China. It's a string of like 19 or so numbers, all numbers. It's almost 6kg so that would but it under the Hong Kong post but no dice.

So, I told TBR that I want to wait to ship my package via SAL until all this crazyness blows over

I've got some tokyobopper replicas but that's about it

This is what they said


>OK, then we suggest this way, we can try to ship the parcel, and if it's inspected to be returned, we will keep it and ship for you next month. If it passed the inspection, it can go to USA directly. Is this way OK? We just need to try.

Is this even a thing you can do? Wouldn't customs just destroy your stuff if they found it wasn't allowed?

>>6728486
Yeah... and SAL has more of a chance of being thoroughly looked through since it's not a rush like EMS.

>>6728493
Yea that's what I thought... I don't think there's some sort of system that will say "oh you can't mail these, we'll just kindly return them to you"

>>6728479

Try sao.cn? If it can recognise the number it should also tell you the official tracking site for whoever's shipping it.

>>6728493
Really? But in the last thread there were 2 people with EMS who had shit confiscated.

>>6728493
Uhhh no. SAL is actually LESS likely to be checked by customs than ems.

>>6728614
I guessed that has to do with what's going on this month...?

>>6728622
What's the proof on this? Any SAL package I've had has been opened/lost things, and most anons who've lost things previous threads had their packages shipped SAL.. My EMS packages have never been opened. I'm just assuming based on observation.

(Then again, my orders never go above 6kgish, so that may be why? Eternally shitty small orders.)

>>6728670
Everyone's orders get opened, do you mean searched through like with the repacked tape?

>>6728670
My tiny SAL packages weren't opened, but people in older threads said they had EMS stuff missing.
/diff anon

My shitty small order

What's the cheapest taobao store to get lizlisa shit? I've seen so many lizlisa places but the ones that seem to carry only lizlisa/gyaru/mori (coconuts, bobon21, etc) prices are too high.

>>6728674
Link to that black dress/jumper?

>>6728614
>>6728670
Both shipping methods have likelihood of getting thoroughly checked. FAQ has examples of people from both.

As for which gets MORE checked, that's dependent on the groups while getting x-rayed plus how many at that particular day are going via EMS versus SAL.

>>6728674
What is that doll looking thing (third from the left on the top)?

>>6728672
Your info contradicts >>6728673 's... Idk, I never believed the Chinese post has the time to open hundreds of thousands of packages, and I've had packages come to me with the SS tape in tact (Bhiner's tape has their name plastered all over it so if it was opened, there would be cuts in it/tape over it, but there wasn't), so that's what I meant when I say opening.

I had a LizLisa bag come to me sometime ago but it wasn't confiscated because the package was small/never opened.

I've always thought the bigger the package the more likely it is to get opened, so most of my orders are small.

Sorry I'm just rambling now, I'm forever on the rocks about whether all packages are opened or not, and which shipping methods are safest from customs. Safe to say that no two people's experiences will be the same I suppose. EMS shit gets taken, SAL shit gets taken, EMS shit gets opened, SAL shit gets opened. It's left up to luck and fate and which customs agent gets your package.

>>6728681
I dunno they might have been stealthy, but I couldn't find any tape or other signs of being opened for my small shitty orders like I said.
I mean, one was just trying out Bhiner, and it was too small to even bother opening y'know? Like less than 1 kg.

This is probably a bit annoying, but of the Canadians here, how do you usually pay for your order since SS's usually only take USD or CNY?

I'm just wondering if I have to just suck it up and pay the extra to convert to USD on paypal since there's no option for CNY/RMB

>>6728701
Pay the extra... How else do you think us Europeans and Australians have to do it?

Recent order pictures are just evidence of how tacky and bad the regular fashion sense of /cgl/ is.

>>6728674
Is a splendid example. That shit will look bad and you should feel bad.

>>6728741

>>6728726
Extra as in USD being worth more than CAD, not the conversion fee itself

So would there be anyway to convert and pay in CNY/RMB(paypal has no option for this) since it would be cheaper

>>6728755
The difference doesn't matter much because it won't be off by very much.

>>6728761
for a large order it's quite a bit(well enough to want me to see if there'a another option) There's a roughly $400 order I'm making next time and through conversion, I'd be losing around $25 or $30 CAD

>>6728741

Define good fashion sense then?

>>6728788
Think about why an ita is an ita, apply the same general criteria to everyday fashion and even you should get it.

>>6728781
Sucks you live in Canada. Nothing you can do about it.

>>6728791
Hey retard, I don't think that anon was intending to buy anything J-fashion. It's just normal shit, not brand, lizlisa, gyaru/mori/lolita.

>>6728791
That's.. not an answer at all.

>>6728791
>Why an ita is an it
>apply to everyday fashion

...so no cheap lace, going without underwear, or wearing clashing colors?

>>6728741
Yeah I kinda agree, but I'm still gonna rock my galaxy seifuku on my kawaii self.

I also bought some Supreme knock-offs so I can be a swag fag just like Beiber. Oh and a Pyrex hoodie.

>>6728674
Good luck on not getting your cosmetics confiscated anon

>>6728796
As expected, you cannot handle average thinking processes.
Bad quality, tackiness, just looking really cheap, awkward construction of garments. And upon seeing an order full of that shit you might as well question how will the person coordinate it.

>>6728829
i kinda agree - i live in an area with a high asian population and most of this stuff could be found at night market stalls, but it's still their money to do what they want with

jesus christ just let people buy what they want

And you wonder why people stopped posting in the taobao threads...

Too lazy to quote but you guys do remember you're on 4chan. Hello.
>opinions

>>6728793
ah shitty

Today I saw a girl with the galaxy tights,a cross hair clip and freakin' awesome shoes when I was walking down stairs in my home town,in germany.
I really wanted to compliment her outfit,but that would've been way too creepy.

I wonder if she lurks here too...

>>6728829
>implying most people have good fashion sense

most people wear the most basic shit ever, it's a miracle when something fits correctly

>>6729038
galaxy tights or galaxy seifuku?

she's probably just a tumblrfag, they're all over the creepycute pastel grunge shit

Does anyone know where I'd be able to find this exact dress? I can only find the one that's very similar but has a peter pan collar, which I don't like. The shop I found it is a reseller and irritatingly this is the only thing they sell which I haven't seen elsewhere on taobao.

>>6729134

Yeah, a good portion of Dublin dresses like this really. Most of the time, they can't pull it off well. The fat people who think they can get away with leggings and no shorts/skirts are the worst though. Galaxy leggings draw attention, and then once you see it stretched tight over their crow's foot, it's a sight hard to forget.

>>6729148
oh man, I saw it the other day anon, sorry but I forget

>>6729153
Yea I wore my galaxy leggings in Toronto one day, lots of stares. Don't know why though, considering the MANY obese people walking around in leggings, letting it all just fucking hang out. That should be the headline, really.

>>6728479
Same with you anon. I am hoping this alternate shipping will be okay.

>>6727097
Link to the blue skirt please?

>>6729153
>>6729160
Where I live there's a lot of stuff with galaxy print in stores now. Even the cheaper ones like Target have galaxy print shirts and bags.

I'm looking for something like this, but I have no idea what it's called to look up search terms. Bodice? Bustier? Vest? I want a top like this in black if anyone knows of any shops that have that.

>>6729202
Brands usually call them bustiers, but on taobao that might get you a lot of lingerie results.

>>6729210
Oh, that's a pain. Thanks though, at least I've got an idea of where to start. I've been going through all the lolita shops listed in the taobao links to find anything similar for search terms.

>>6729202
Dear Celine has one up right now.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w17807470566.7.ImPXzl&id=23302860349

Quite a bit more ruffly than your example, however.

>>6729222
Thank you! For some reason I thought this was a dress. Going to use it for search terms.

>>6729233
I thought so at first, but it's a vest + skirt combo. Skirt's sold in another listing. I think I've also seen similar bustiers from other shops. I'll have a poke around.

>>6729222
OT, but yay, DC brought back their tried and true petti. Too bad i missed out on the one right before though, it looked massive. This one I can stack with my old DC one (same style) though and get it in Lavender, wooooo

>>6729243
Annnnd out of the shops I have, I only found one bustier-vest:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w189500529.7.szb6E2&id=20465268094

The others were all true vests/waistcoats or else corsets.

>>6729293
Thanks for trying!

>>6729148
this one comes with the detachable inside piece too

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.349.1aaADT&id=15393303284

>>6729318
I could kiss you right now, thank you so much! I'd been searching for ages and found nothing.

>>6729318
>>6729346
This one is quite expensive thought, it is just a Katie replica that you can get for few bucks.

>>6727993
That sucks! I just bought those in red.

>>6727979
If you still want some, I bought mine from here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17363759979&spm=2014.12443903.0.0
Strangely, there are 2 styles of shoes in that listing. So make sure you pick the right one.

>>6728415
I guess you want something more than "Simulation roses," but that's 仿真玫瑰
Also this shop sells some great flowers, but they're all mixed in with their jewelry and hair stuff. http://ccloveyou.taobao.com/?spm=a1z10.3.w3.1.0a9gLQ

I'm having serious trouble searching for shirts/dresses with corset ties in the back. Search terms please? The combinations I've been using aren't working.

>>6729582
cut ur own...

Looking to make some money as a reseller. Most profitable reselling things? There was that anon who sold prom dresses at $100 a pop and another that sold sex toys on Craigslist. Any others?

Is there a specific search term for the pictured wig? Lemail doesn't seem to have them in stock anymore so I can't use that as a jumping off point. I've used the Chinese terms for "princess wig" "gal wig" and "beehive wig" with little luck.

>>6729996

Postin' in the new thread

Anyone know what's going on with Infanta? I tried to order their snow white JSK, some bloomers and the matching headbow through Pruany and they refunded me saying " seller, Time limit for a project full,please change the seller"

It says the dress is in stock still, either way I don't know why they'd refund the bloomers as well.

Any ideas?

So I asked Sydney about all the stuff that's being confiscated, basically a long e-mail about how generic stuff and indie lolita dresses were confiscated. She replied me with this, which is interesting.

Dear Anon,
Yes, the situation you told is the truth at present, and you can check our news here.
Now the parcels to USA is inspected extremely strict and we will change to Singapore EMS and Hongkong airmail for a month.
The reason is that our new Chairman will have official visit to USA, and the 2 countries will inspect the items which violate intellectual property rights they imported and exported, so the shipping is not easy these days.
But do not worry, we have found a new way to ship to USA.

Thoughts? Maybe I'm being overoptimistic, but perhaps it's just a waiting thing then.

>>6730012
Thank you so much, anon!

>>6730030
I haven't heard any anons from Canada saying they've had things confiscated, so I'm not sure if that's true or not or if this even affects my order(probably not)

I couldn't translate this sizechart, so do someone know what it says?

>>6730012
>>6729996
It's a hime gyaru style wig. I'm not sure what to put for the search terms, too...I want this kind of wig but in a brown...

>>6729464
thank you sooo much!

>>6730030
>http://www.taobaoring.com/news.php?news_id=37

woah like the communist chairman? I know that the knockoffs are a sensitive subject for the us.

>>6730030
NO FUCK YOU SYDNEY
Not answering the question about why non-replicas were taken

>>6730160
It's not like Sydney would know since she isn't the postal system.

>>6730162
I'm sure they've received complaints though?
And then the logical thing would be to ask the post office.

Question about Singapore EMS and Hong Kong airmail. Does that mean it's shipped out from Singapore/HK instead of out of China? Sorry, it's probably a really stupid question but I need to send my stuff out now and I'm really worried :( Cuz I'm doing a group order and I ordered clothes, while my friends ordered cosplay. I'd feel like shit if I got our package confiscated... I'll probably get insurance too just to be safe.

>>6730234
I believe what they do is that they forward the parcel to be shipped through Singapore/HK instead of the mainlad China post, which is the one having the problems.

>>6730253
I forgot to add, I don't know if they automatically will do it. I think they might, but for yoybuy they told me to e-mail them or add to additional comments to requests for the special line to be forwarded.

It sounds like TBR though might automatically just start forwarding everything through Singapore/HK.

>>6730253
Thank you! That's what I figured, but just wanted to clarify :) I guess I'll take the risk using this method instead, but I'll still buy insurance.

Does anyone have any recommended products in the skincare/blemish removal/whitening category?

I'm browsing through them, but not knowing Chinese I'm finding it next to impossible to tell each product a part. I'm pretty much just planning to buy whatever looks the coolest and test it if no one has any recommendations or warnings.

I need fetish gear. The whole 9 yards!

>>6728692
They definitely don't open each one, I don't know where that rumour started. Probably Flan. They xray them, and only open them on a random/suspect basis.

I had a parcel sent by EMS to the UK that got sent back to China "for security reasons" according to TBR. They resent it, but didn't explain why it didn't get to me. Does anybody know what might have happened and if I'll be missing anything?

I love Krad Lanrete's Phantom print, but I hate the way the bodice looks. Le sigh.

Although am I the only one who thinks it bears an uncanny resemblance to Guilty Castle's Phantom print?

>>6730331

>Le sigh

Kill yourself.

>>6730331
It's identical except for the way that the top is done. Krad Lanrete has swags of fabric where Guilty Castle has random floating elements. Thing is, I'm pretty sure the lineart itself is a generic stock illustration. I feel like I've seen it used elsewhere before.

>>6730324
Did you have any items that have recently been stated should not be sent out?

Things like liquids and electronics have been difficult to send out besides the whole imitations thing.

>>6730234
related question about HK airmail...is this what bhiner calls their airmailHK shipping method? i really want that damn muchacha cat face purse set, but i'm paranoid it'll get confiscated in customs.

>>6728352
Where did you get the blouses and the dress?
Thanks.

>>6730456

No. All I had were two blouses, a cutsew, a beret, a pair of heart garters and a pair of boots. Nothing with a replica, either.

>>6730056
Size. Length. Shoulder(?). Bust.Waist

I wonder if tb sells any pinup or rockabilly fashion and accessories? I've been looking for a swing dress for quite some time.

would anon care to share if they have any sauce?

So basically SAL is really iffy right now? Goddamn.

>>6730639
I've been looking for a while but sadly I don't think there's really a market for it in China. Although I do have a feeling that dresses like that are out there, I just ran out of possible search terms to mess with.

Here's some shops that I've found so far
http://babywinny.taobao.com/
http://baobaosvivi.taobao.com/ - some of their pictures are obviously stolen from the last shop, but who knows
http://shouyinu.taobao.com/ - they have a few retro inspired dresses/tops

>>6730631
Maybe they resent it back then to see if they could forward it through the Singapore or HK line so it could safely travel.

Does Taobao sell things like a Rilakkuma toaster or pancake pan? I've found regular pans and such, but I mean like, the little toasters that put the bear's face on the toast, and a pan that would shape the cake into his face

fuck do I ever want those things, but I'd rather include them in a massive taobao order than order them from some other site separately. I've been searching through the rilakkuma tag forever

TBR finally confirmed my shitty small order.

Yup, thank you!

>>6729984
seconded.

I have a question about the tights
Because my height is 1.65 (aprox) and the last time I buy a chinese tight the were small.
I love a lot of tights but I'm worried about that don't fit me, I have normal legs (not skinny and not chubby)

I find it funny houw Creepyyeha always complains about taobao replicas of her stuff but recently bought herself two sheer dresses from a taobao reseller that are replicas of the Pirouette Dress from the indie brand Katie.

>>6731061
You would think she'd be able buy the real thing with the profit she makes off tumblrfags eh?

It took almost TWO MONTHS for Krad Lanrete to tell yoybuy my item is out of stock. AFTER they already confirmed it was in stock and bought it.

>>6731070
Actually, yes, just considering all the high fashion brand stuff she always buys, not to mention that Kiki and Kotakoti promote her store recently so people are throwing their money at her, she even had to close her shop because of the huge amount of requests for her overpriced stuff.

>>6730761
You can get like all that jewelry on ebay for 99 cents shipped

>>6731392
Everyone keeps saying shit like this, but if you actually went on ebay to look most of this stuff isn't 99 cents shipped, it's much more like $3-6 shipped... so you might as well throw them into an existing taobao order.

I'm not gonna waste my time finding the rest but it's there

>>6731420
>most

And you can't read.

I've searched half the shit that people come in this thread claiming HURR JUST USE EBAY and it's horseshit. MOST. of it. is not 99 cents shipped. It's maybe $2-3, or more.

>>6731392
>>6731420

All the sellers you linked to except the last one have such poor ratings I would never consider them.

And anyways on taobao it's 20-50 cents. I'm also dress and blouses anon, and I have a larger order with a friend. We're going to split the shipping by weight. It is not unreasonable to tuck in a ton of cheap jewelry into a larger order.

>>6731436
Guess what? There are literally DOZENS of sellers on ebay who sell the same shit. Just do a search and pick one with good ratings. Not a valid excuse

>>6731426
>most

Except that's not true either, MOST of the stuff posted here is 99 cents, the rest is $2 or more

A whole extra dollar, wow

>>6731448
Yeah, which adds up after you're ordering 20 items. So why not just toss it in a taobao order? Your logic makes absolutely no sense.

>>6731448

You sound really mad about an order that isn't yours.

>>6730049
>Canada

Another anon from Canada here and I was wondering the same thing, especially as I just found out about some indie stuff being confiscated. I was planning on ordering a dress from Miss Point so I was worried about that. But if this is only for the US because of this up and coming visit, I guess I don't have anything to worry about.

Unless this guy plans to visit Canada and customs decides they need to seize stuff coming here too.

>>6731453
After paying domestic & international shipping and SS fees (8 - 10%) then it doesn't end up being cheaper like, at all

>>6731459
Not mad, misleading capslock I guess. There's just no reason to comprise an order that is 50% cheap ebay jewelry

>>6731448

I just typed in an estimate of the weight of our order, which is 4kg, and by SAL it's $47.

Assuming my jewelry takes up 500g, I'm paying 5.87+2.42(domestic) for jewelry.

Wow.

8.29 for shipping

For 19 items.

That's 43 cents shipping per item.

Remember what I said above about most of the items being 20-50 cents? Ayup.

>>6731468

And before you ask about service fees, it was a whole $0.55 for that particular part of the order.

>>6731468

Assuming your estimate is accurate, you are still paying like a dollar for each thing so I'm not sure what you are trying to prove

>it was a whole $0.55 for that particular part of the order.

Service fees don't work like that. You are billed a flat percentage which is applied to your whole order, not 10% of jewelry and 10% of clothing and blah blah blah

>>6731480

Thought you were arguing it was more expensive brah.

And you really don't know how percentages work, do you.

>>6731482
In most cases yea it is, brah. And she was trying to say it's cheaper, when clearly it's not

Anon is saying that 10% of her jewelry order is $0.55, which is not how the fee is applied

>>6731483

I wasn't even trying to argue it was cheaper. I'm saying it's more convenient to put in a large order of stuff i want to buy anyways.

Yes, I realise the fee is also applied to domestic fees. I included the domestic fee.

especially if you just want jewelry

>>6731668

If I distract customs with the cheap shiny jewelry maybe they won't confiscate my other shit which I actually wanted in the first place.

I kid, but seriously, it is not 'just jewelry' pricewise or weight wise by a large margin.

If anyone could help me find a cheaper version of these tights that would be lovely.

Remember that you need to convert the plugs, or I guess live in a Chinese house.

Does anybody know a better search term for underbust dresses? I've been using 托胸 连衣裙, but it didn't give many lolita related results.

>>6731814
not true
I ordered a lamp from taobao and i was able to plug it in just fine without fixing anything.

>>6731918
Surface Spell gothic has one, you might be able to find the right terms in that listing

>>6731948
It's actually where I got the search term I used before. I guess I'm out of luck.

Posted from the old thread, so I'll go again.

Hello /cgl/, /vr/min here again. I discovered the issue as to why my payment wouldn't go through, which was my bank declining the transaction. As of now, I'm trying to get through to them about it with all my information, but I have a question to ask.

Should I buy my items from Yoybuy or from BuyChina? Reason I ask is because, while they sell the same items, their prices are vastly different, and would prefer not to pay more if I don't need to. Here's the examples, if you don't believe me.

Yoybuy (total $22.76):

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/21981504110/
http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/1030811684/

BuyChina (total $41.00)

http://www.buychina.com/items/new-color-screen-handheld-game-console-compatible-the-8-fc-yellow-card-comes-contra-mary-tetris-yxrorttpri
http://www.buychina.com/items/sundance-kid-tv-game-nes-fc-8-bit-machine-game-cartridge-245-one-does-not-repeat-zuwvvprriio

Thank you in advance!

(So far I was given a recommendation for Yoybuy. Any other takers? Thanks again!)

>>6731964
Don't use BuyChina. Yoybuy is my regular SS, I love them. Most bad reviews about them are from ages ago.

>>6731964
BuyChina is sort of known as a scammer, so don't use them.

>>6731974
>>6731979
Alright broskis, that makes three votes towards Yoybuy. Thanks again!

Also, are there any better/cheaper SS that I should be aware of, or should I stick to Yoybuy?

>>6732043
TaobaoRing is also pretty good but you might want to avoid them right now as they're still incredibly slow after CNY and I like Bhiner as well but the requoting can be annoying.

>>6732043
..Plenty, did you read the post OP...?

>>6732043
I've used Yoybuy twice now and I love them. I have to say it's nice that they weigh things individually as they arrive since it helps in estimating new orders. he only draw back is they don't take pictures unless you pay a $2 fee. I do like the base domestic shipping though. I guess that would suck if one order's light things but I order slightly heavy things like jackets and multiple wigs. I like their web cart and they've always gotten back to me quickly when something was OOS or needed extra information.

>>6732043
The votes really aren't for yoybuy, everyone is just pointing out take buychina off your list of possibilities forever. I remember you posting this before and people told you to forget buychina then as well.

>>6730089
>>6729996
I emailed L-Email/Wig-Supplier about the wig as I was curious about it and they pretty much said that they're not making the wig anymore. But if I was to order more than 10 pcs, they would make it for me.

I have no idea if that's only for the colour I emailed about (black) or if it's for any colour.

>>6731061
That said where would one get replicas of Creepyyeha stuff?

Anybody have a favorite cheap shoe shop? The spreedsheets don't have many and I'm trying to add a couple pairs to my order.

>>6732369
I think the shop was called pink savior or something like that?? Apparently it's not super great quality though.

>>6732375
Do a search, sort the results from price low to high

>>6732055
it's a matter of luck i think. i paid one day after i chose my items, then three days later all of them arrived at the office and one day after i paid it was shipped.

it took me 6 days. so it depends. also i kept sending emails to james.

>>6732369
i remember reading about this anon who ordered a bunch of the taobao harnesses for friends and they all broke within a few uses I think

if they're in this thread, pls respond

>>6732369
The pink savior and only order in black as they are made with thicker material than the other colors.

Fox Cherry is back everyone!

Hi... I study Chinese and idk if people have used this but a great browser plugin for translating Chinese-English is Perapera - http://www.perapera.org/plugins/

They're popup translations of both full terms and individual characters that can be viewed just by hovering your mouse over them. It's easy to use and less obtrusive than google translate, you can also save terms(I believe only in the Firefox plugin, super helpful for Chinese learners like myself... but maybe not so in this case)

Anyways try it out!

If anyone has a specific request of things they might absolutely need to be found in China, I'm here for a few months so I'll do my best to keep a watch out! - Maybe I'll make a requests form or something and link it, if that's okay?

>>6732586
AW HELL YEAH,thank you!

look at this guys
http://shop71131139.taobao.com/

>>6732654
Those are pretty but holy fuck, those prices are horrible. I'm hoping it's just a placeholder?

>>6732666

That usually means the item is out of stock I think??

also this
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w370768788.2.7ttx0s&id=22791732445

>>6732683

yes, its out of stock, and sometimes the price is ¥9999 or ¥99999. In the option sometimes says "no stock, no ask" or "no stock"

>>6732770
>>6732666
>>6732654

Ooo pretty shop.

Is it bad that I use these photos for inspiration for my own jewelry? I have a really bad habit of saving all the taobao lolita pics for design reference.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.261.8A92Xk&id=7942658867

Are they saying you need to buy 20 yuan worth of beads and they are a mixture of color?

Ugh I hate to ask this, but does anyone have screencaps from the last thread about all the packages that got opened? I remember two long-ish posts about it (maybe one had pictures too, idr)

Does anyone know of a shop that does sort of vintage clothes in custom sizing?

>>6732886
We have a fucking archive, jesus christ

>>6732427
Lucky bitch! I've been sitting on the same order for over a month! I just got to make the second payment today for an order I confirmed on the 4th (but keep in mind I also had to wait because they lost a good deal of my items).

Also they said they are going to ship it to me with Singapore EMS. I looked at their shipping methods and only saw Singapore Airmail. Does anyone know how long Singapore EMS will take?

>>6732428
It was a bunch of garters that I ordered and it is just like this anon said
>>6732485

Are there any Taobao shops that have cute Modcloth-esque clothing?

>>6732687
From a review of the skin colored ones from there, fits people up to 180cm.

does anyone know where to find korilakkuma kigurumi? i've tried so many search terms with no accurate results

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9937896429&spm=2014.12001318.0.0

>>6732961
Did they ever refund for your lost items?
Also, are you going to reorder the dress?

I missed the past few threads- has anyone bought those detachable collars lately and can recommend me a store?
Sharing one I found so I'm not completely useless- http://daphnie.taobao.com/

I am about to get my order in a few hours! I'm really excited.

>>6731084
The other day she made a post saying she hates it when people don't use the right heart shaped rings for garters, but wont tell people where she gets hers.

>>6732586

Not they're not you lying shitbag.

So my friend asked me to buy her wig of this seller: http://momijishin.taobao.com/index.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w754593252.2.kk0Nng

The look good and everything but she's telling me they ship without an SS. I can't find anything using google translate (nor in the google docs) that says they ship internationally without a SS. So does anyone know if they do?

>>6733248
Link to the glass teapot?

I just ordered this

Wish I could find the heart rings creepyyeha uses so I can make a spiked heart collar for my dog so we can match.
I'd need some strong fucking leather for that though.

thanks.

>>6733968
The buttons are from http://tianrenzu.taobao.com
They're each a different listing, I just posted that image because it was easier.

The Batman/Superman thing are two towels.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17404747144
There's also this really cute pouch that comes along with it if you pay a bit more but I only wanted the towels (and it's a really ship-y thing and I don't like Bats/Supes).

They also released a Young Justice decoration tape thing right after I submitted my order. oTL

>>6733979
The cute shit is all from the same shop: http://day-dreamer.taobao.com/ I'm legitimately scared of using them when I get them in case they get dirty.

The heart shit is that thing you put on your bra straps to pull them together tighter so your boobs are bigger.

Has anyone seen these tights/stockings? on their travels through taobao.
i'm after the polka dot ones, not the skele ones.
Black is fine too.

Does anyone know of a shop that sells tights for thick legs? Or tights with a big stretch? My thighs, at the widest, are 55cm and my hips are at about 90cm. :(

>>6734099
You're welcome.

>>6734146
Will do! :)

>>6734259
Use the term for plus size when looking for tights, or add "mm" to your tights search

>>6733896
What shipping method did you use?

>>6734144
Link please for the garters from your order?

I've been looking for the garters in my picture forever! I'm so glad i found them

>>6733012
I ordered the skin colored ones originally, but apparently the print was fucked up in this batch, but the white ones were fine so I switched

>>6734472
They don't connect on the sides, do they?

>>6734466
I see what you did there, and you're a douche.

>>6734514
Not quoted anon, but.. why?

>>6734302
Wow, thanks anon! I don't know why I didn't think about putting plus sized in the search. I didn't know about the mm thing, though.

This might be a really dumb question but, what does it mean when they say the tights are 50D? I've also seen 80D and 140D??
What does it mean when they say tights are 170 or 180? Does it mean they can stretch the tights that wide?

>>6734347
EMS, I don't know why I forgot to mention that.

>>6734526
The D stands for Denier. Basically it describes how opaque they are.
The higher the number, the less see through they will be.

>>6733832
Oooh gurl,you have a good taste.
Link to the dress in the second row,the wig,the boots in the 7th row,the skirt in the 8th row and the jacket in the last row?

Have you received the tights? Do you have a picture of how they look?
I'm about to place a Taobao order but it's getting a bit pricey and I need to take a few items off. I want to order the tights, but I want to see how they look on a none Taobao model first.

The tea pots are very generic. You have your pick from a basic search. There are some incredibly cute and beautiful tea sets that are avantegarde.

>>6733840
They have in the beginning. Hell they even sold in the United States for quite awhile. For some reason USPS said my address was undeliverable so I am tracking it down. But it's Sunday so I need to find it Monday. So I won't know for awhile. I'll give you guys a heads up.

From the looks of my package tracking my package did not get processed through customs. I choose sal delivery through Taobaoring

So has anyone who ordered Krad's Mozarabic Chant from the reservation gotten it yet? Both Clobba and TBSpree told me I have to wait for them to sell all their reservation pieces before I can get a crack at buying one.

>>6734302
Will that work for tights that can accommodate 110cm hips?
>forever fatty hips

>>6734490
They don't have a backside.

I really want this bag but it's like £27 already on Tabao. Anybody know whether there's a cheaper one or how I can go about finding a cheaper one?

>>6734711

They will list the maximum hip and waist measurements in the listing, same as with any other clothing item

Got my Taobao order 2 days ago. Been so busy with college and work I couldn't post anything. I'll gladly review any items!
Made before CNY but then I removed it and placed it again. 255$ and 108$ EMS shipping.

Crappy picture but includes the winged purse

>>6734519
Because of stolen pictures besides the shop being a scam with Milanoo quality.

>Customers have also posted pictures of their items


Oh,since when did CY started buying from this store? because there's a pic of herself on the "customer section". How kind she must be to sent good reviews to a site selling replicas of her designs.

>>6734920
Why would you want to pay for her overpriced stuff anyway when you can find it cheaper else where? What about all the hundreds of other knock off items on Taobao? Do you care about those as well?

This was mentioned earlier in the thread, but it appears Fox Cherry really is back. I asked my SS to message her, and she has moved to a new shop:
>http://shop71064280.taobao.com/?spm=a1z10.1.w5802216871.1.dkzfMk

brb ordering everything from there.


>>6734842
So I guess that means you can still get lucky with customs not opening and taking your items. Nice haul, Anon! I feel better about my order, so I better place it soon.

>>6734926
Oh god thank you jesus

Gonna buy all the gothic headdresses I can, no more procrastinating

But it looks like her old store is up and running as well? Hm weird.

Guys I'm pretty fucking confused over the BJD tights from here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w370768788.2.7ttx0s&id=22791732445
The reviews are all under "praise" but google translate is mucking them up. They all seem bad despite the "praise"?

>>6734926
Is it just me, or do the new goods look less appealing and creative as they used to be? There's only like two things I like.

>>6735027
They're less appealing. I was excited because I was hoping her old items would transfer over, but boo. Looks like no cute straw hats for me. I hope she expands out of the cutesy colorways.

>>6735003
My SS messaged her old store and she replied that Foxcherry moved stores. I don't really know if the old shop is "in business".

>>6735027
Because all the reviews are actually bad, the only praise is for the good customer service.

>>6734600
Not yet, Sydney messaged me saying the seller had received the botched tights and asked if I wanted the white ones instead(since they had turned out)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18928799496
there's one review for it with photos for the white

>>6734904
Funny considering the majority of the reviews are bad because the garters aren't made from leather but some crappy fabric.

>>6734943
Oh, these are all adorable.
Thank you again!

>>6735043
God damn it.
Was hoping to get my hands on some decent BJD tights without a horrendous markup.

>>6734885
They were presents for my boyfriend and a late birthday gift. He just made the first last night, and I looked in the boxes and everything beforehand. The two small ones are fine, and so is the big one, but the bigger one is in chinese instead of Japanese.
>>6734905 Its a very nice backpack/purse! The only problem so far is that since it was packed tight against everything and the front straps wont connect to the metal clips yet. Maybe with some time it will? The quality is great, and its nice and sturdy
If you two want more pictures of the gundams or purse I can put some up!

>>6734926
>>6735003

>Fox Cherry has returned! Along with their normal shop, they opened a shop dedicated to delivering items that are already in stock, promising to ship them out within 48hours of cleared payment.

According to http://yetanotherjfashionblog.tumblr.com/

I just paid for an order through TBspree that included Foxcherry (they also contacted FC to confirm)

>>6735095 again

FFS, What I mean is, TBS contacted her through the old shop to confirm she would take the order and she gave an estimate of one week production time.

So it appears:

old Fox Cherry=made to order

New shop= ready made.

So, so happy right now.

>>6735098
Oooh, that's awesome. Thanks for the info, anon!

>>6735081
really? my bf bought me the original and it's so cute i want to buy the one in black too but it's kinda expensive so i'm thinking if taobao knockoff would be fine. pictures would be great, thank you!

>>6735098
Yaaaaaaay,thank god.
I don't care at all if I have to wait, as long as I can get my hands on her accessories.

>>6735047
Beckii Cruel did a review of it and she said it's alright
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9lGLWP5GTk

Not trying to say her word is fact but the garter looks fine. Besides, it's a stupid fashion accessory which happens to be popular at the moment. Why would someone spend loads of money on it?

Any good shops that sell cute patterned crew length socks, like the ones AP has?

>>6735149
I really like it. I'll see how it holds up tomorrow for my classes. The pink is a tad dark, and the blue is a nice bright blue. I was worried it might get confiscated, and I'm glad it didn't! Sorry for the sideways picture, apparently my camera quality is too high for 4chan so it has to go through a file size changer to fix that.

>>6734926
Yup! After hearing all the things that was happening it was heck trying to wait through customs. It only too 5 days from Beijing to my house (US) through EMS!

>>6735233
Funny since at her Tumblr she linked to Pink Savior when she got asked for the source.

>>6734466
>Keyrings as heart
...ok.

>>6735264
Funny how she linked to the lovehatekisskill shop in her video description.

>>6735047
If the majority of reviews were bad then the total score wouldn't be 4.8/5, genius

Why are you so upset that people are buying replicas of spikey leather garters, jesus

>>6735266
Pinksavior does this too since no one knows where to get the original heart rings

Does anyone know where I can get a wig like GLW Rhapsody in white or silver?
I've checked through most of the major cosplay wig stores and searched with a few terms, but haven't been able to track one down.

>>6735233
>>6735264
The one in black from pink savior I have has held up pretty well. And very adjustable

>>6735371
Try using this to search: 烟花卷

I've gotten quite a few hits. The only one I saw in white was a ponytail extension, however.

>>6735373
We're not talking about Pink Savior though

>>6735381
Calm it down a notch, was just saying, as someone upthread DID ask about quality.
I'm not trying to get in the middle of your guys' useless argument.

>>6735384
>Type 7 words
>ZOMG CALM IT DOWN WAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!!!!11!

>>6735378
yeah, I tried that one. Thank you, anyway...

>>6735256
it seems really nice!! thanks a lot for the photos. definitely gonna buy the black version when custom stuff calms down

>>6735442
No problem! And good luck!

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for Elpress dresses to sell out? I really want this dress in the pic, but I'm not planning on making my "big" order until May.

I've heard about some SS holding items for you until you pay for shipping and combining orders, is there one that is particularly good when it comes to these things?

>>6735531
I was really interested in this dress too anon, though when I last checked it was only available in mint or something like that? Did they restock?

>>6735544
At first I thought you might be talking about the JSK but now that I look at it, the color options for the OP are translated as mint, and "generate color"? Not too sure what that means.

>>6735563
Generate is the color in the picture, so I guess they did restock! Cool, thanks for the heads up anon (even if it was unintentional)!

Also I believe Yoybuy is the one that will hold items for a long time?

Has anyone found any cardigans like this? I really want it in mint and in pink. Or any other melty chocolate or chocolate cubes print items (like the MILK tights that look like chocolate bars)

I tried looking for "chocolate cardigan" and "chocolate drip cardigan" but didn't find anything.

Okay, so I feel like an idiot (though I am with out a doubt new to taobao)

How do I get to babisoft? I search for "babisoft" and I just search results saying "Did not find the baby and " babisoft"

Augh China hates me.

Does anyone know if the seller DogCat does direct shipping? There's an email on their site but with my google translate it says it's for inquiries.

>>6734620
Alright, thanks. I wanted to order a lot of Babistory stuff (like $50 worth) so I wasn't sure if it would be too risky.

>>6735531
God damn it, I've fallen in love, anon.
Please excuse me for the following questions.
1) When does the pre-order end?
2) When are the dresses shipped out?
The wonky english translation isn't helping me out much.

>>6735098
What's the link to the new shop?

>>6728677
the cheapest i see them are around the 120-160 mark for dresses 60-120 from skrts and shirts. so yeah you wont find many cheaper but there are some out there.

>>6735783
look at the posts before it

>>6733832
pentagram choker link please.

I'm not sure, I saw this when yetanotherjfashion posted about it, all they said was that reservation started tonight! I'm putting my order in for it with yoybuy right now

>>6735880
I see! Please let me know if you have to pay the whole upfront or just the deposit right now.

>>6735891
As far as I know from the translation, the listing they have up right now is a deposit page and then it goes on to say "The total price is 398,5 end of the month to shoot the balance" so... maybe the reservation ends late April? Not sure!

Sent in an order with Taobaospree and completely freaking out about Power and Throne fitting me even though I asked Doris to check with Infanta about which size should fit. Urgh, this is so scary. How do you anons deal with sizing issues?

We are in autosage but I'm too lazy to make a thread.

Urgh, Taobaonow normally have great service but I'm pretty sure they messed up one item which is annoying because now it's holding up everything else.

>Order two of the same panties, one pink, one green
>Make first payment
>Everything arrives
>"Sorry seller sent both in pink. Is this acceptable?"
>Er no, can I get it exchanged?
>Sure!
>Three days pass
>"Which green do you want?"
>Green I wanted or obviously fucking blue pair
>Why would you not ask this when you ordered before...

Seems like they messed up and ordered two pink pairs and then blamed the seller...

what would be the proper way to look up red wigs? like a deep red, preferably. I've tried looking up the characters for 'wigs' and the color 'red' together, but all i get is a bunch of halloween-looking value village shit and items that aren't wigs at all

Oh god I can't breathe. Anyone with a Taobao tumblr, you have to do this too for April Fools. Best decision I ever made.

>>6736598
Anon, I...I think I love you.

>>6736601
Aw! I think I love you too person I've never seen before.

>>6736598
yeah idk I just don't feel it

>>6736598
people are too dumb you'll get asks for days asking if you're really shutting down :/

>>6735891
Okay, so I tried to order it with Yoybuy, they refunded me saying that I can't buy it because it's a deposit page... how else am I supposed to reserve it then?

>>6736598
>well played, admins! trololol

>>6733832
Your order is awesome. If you can, could you give the link to the shades and to the dress at second row, on the left (The black one). Also, if you've got the time please review some of your items when they arrive, you've got so many lovely things.

Heh, good I check 4chan more often. Gotcha.

>>6736592
What I usually do is go through the list of stores that I want to visit that sell wigs and those stores usually have the wigs categorized by color along the links.
