/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Since it didn't get answered last thread, going to ask again. How long does Surface Spell usually take to send its stuff? I looked at some reviews, and they said 1-2 weeks is normal. Is this the same for the rest of you who ordered from the custom shop?

>>6762713
I gave up requoting and had to sacrifice half my order. Going to switch SS after this because I cannot deal with Bhiner anymore

>>6762813

Got my order revamped. This is my first time shipping and I'm using Bhiner, but following >>6762813's sentiment I think I'll use a different SS next time.

All I need now is for someone to sell a Mozarabic Chant JSK...

>>6762927

And image didn't stick for some reason

This comment here is me >>6762496

I found out what was wrong. i have counted in yuan and not HKD

Two main items of my six item order are out of stock, and one is a pointless thing I could make myself.
I just don't know if it's worth it anymore. This was going to be my first taobao order and arrive for my birthday but now I'm just so sad.

Damn you taobao! Y u no clearly state something isn't available.

>>6762813
Link to those shoes please?

A couple threads back or so someone posted their order and I vaguely remember a pair of soft-boots with floppy white bows on them, or something like that. The image was fairly small on my screen and I didn't bother asking where they were from, but if anyone remembers them or if that poster still knows the store I would deeply appreciate it. I can't get them out of my head.

I might be going crazy and these boots don't even exist, but I could've sworn that was what the picture was of.

just put in this order to get confirmed
links if anyone cares,
socks: http://pangduer88.taobao.com/
hairpieces: http://shop34624454.taobao.com/
lashes: http://622622.taobao.com/

>>6763070
What an incredibly shitty small order!

>>6763074
yup! in fact small shitty orders are my specialty my dear anon

anyone have any good links for lace gloves, hats, or socks?
Not leggings, just cute socks of all shapes and sizes.

If anyone needs any links to anything else though feel free to ask.
My most recent catch was these adorable shoes
I want to buy them once I get my check in.\

Order I made a few days ago. I've gone back to using Taobaospree since Taobaoring went full retard and they've been really fast with communication and stuff.

>>6762929
Good luck for white moon. They take fucking forever to ship.

>>6763126
Their mouses from China, I've bought severel, every single one eventually blue screens your computer with a USB BUG ERROR
Love, a reseller of mouses bought from Taobao
I've sold over 200 now, and the only complaints I receive are from people whose computer blue screens and receives that error

>>6763126
>>6763126
>>6763126
link to the wig please!

>>6763000
What color were they?

>>6763126
link to the bow shoes please

>>6763126
Link to jacket? Unless you bought it directly through the brand's website.

Lol Taobaoring seriously won't even fucking look at your order unless you Email them. What kind ofbullshit is that.

>>6763181
Why are people still using them at this point?

>>6763187
Trust? I'm still using them because they're the only agent I like.
I've been thinking about Pruany, but I'm not sure. If there's any recent horror stories I may not...
Pruany has 8% service fee, uses actual domestic shipping and accepts Paypal and can send SAL, right?

>>6762986
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12815781400&spm=2014.12192714.0.0

>>6763196

I've been using Pruany for about 6 months, no problems, good communication, and refunded me when something didn't arrive with my package.

After you get used to the shopping cart system, everything runs really smoothly. They also mark down all your packages so no customs fees.

>>6763181
Truth, ever since I threatened I'd stop using them over email they are always on top of my orders now.

>>6763196
I've made 2 orders with them, and they're pretty good. In the first order I've made I forgot to ask for a picture of my items so I was worried that they might have ordered the wrong things, but all turned out well in the end.

>>6762744
I've ordered from the custom shop several times and it really depends on the time of year. Busy periods (right before or after festivals/holidays) end up being closer to 3 or 4 weeks due to the shop being backed up with orders. Quiet periods (usually summer and early fall before the anniversary of the revolution, etc.), 1-2 weeks is pretty normal.

>>6763371
>>6763293
So they're pretty much like Taobaoring, yes?
And they also have a cart system?
Also, do they take photos for free?

>>6763471
All this is answered in the SS spreadsheet.

Anyone order from Bodyline's taobao?

>>6763181
My orders get alwys confirmed within few hours and I don't mail them but I never order much, they always contact the shops first to see if the items are avaiable before confirming.

Did a pic heavy review of these items because I'm bored and decided to because why not.
http://redroses3164.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/oldish-bhiner-order/

I have another package coming tomorrow (wasn't here today when the delivery person came by). I'll do a pic heavy review of that as well.

>>6762363
Is that.. a knockoff Sailor Fuku? Link?

>>6763150
Any suggestions for stores that sell working mouses?
Preferrably weeb-centered ones.

Just looked through the SS Spreadsheet and nothing about the anon who had a bunch of stuff seized wasn't capped or listed there?

Anyone hear from her - the girl who had 4 pairs of TP's and Starry Night Angel by Chess Story seized?

>>6763520
Just checked up on this thread and I got a reply woot.
I've bought from several, always gold crown or crown stores, but regardless of how many they've sold, it doesn't matter. It's something about China's mouses and keyboards (I mostly do mouses, but I do re-sell other hardware) always end up faulty. I don't know what sort of regulation Frye's or Best Buy have when ordering the shit they have stocked from China, but I always encounter blue screened "Bug problems." PS, I have about 20 computers in the house I live in (it's a lab sort of thing and we host LAN parties), so I know for sure it's the hardware.

>>6763533
If you remember where it was post-wise (as in a rough estimate of the post number), I'll cap it from the archive and add it. I haven't been around the threads actively because of school so I've only updated it occasionally the times I do end up glancing at the general threads.

>>6763520
I forgot to say, they all WORK, it's just a matter of time though before they end up giving a blue screen. I've bought some cheap mouses that you could find on Taobao on eBay, and they work for a several months up to a year and then occasionally a blue screen happens. Again, the only complaints are hear are from a selective amount of people. I don't check back in every month with each buyer who I've sold mouses to, but they do report to me the screen along with picture attached above.

Is it generally okay to order from a shop with only two hearts if their feedback is all good?

>>6763535
archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/thread/6613768

I keep getting this screen though:
Meanwhile use InstallGentoo or warosu

RBT - Not even dead

>>6763541
It's okay to order from ANY SHOP.
The amount they've sold does not matter and even if they sold a lot does not guarantee the quality.

>>6763535
http://fuuka.warosu.org/cgl/thread/S6722350#p6725758

>>6763541
Two hearts is equivalent to 11-40 reviews (in the pic in the FAQ anyway).

So...if you want to risk it. You can also check the items' specific review as well if there are any. But also listen to other anon that quoted you too.

>>6763542
I'm getting the same thing but from the glance of it, it looks like the server the site is on is slow as balls right now since I went to the home page and it's taking forever to load.

>>6763549
Thanks a bunch! I'll add this cap after I go eat dinner.

Girl had all of her Lizlisa clothes seized

>>6763554
Dif anon
It's not a risk
I can't stand people saying shit like that
There are millions of people who sell the same shit from different factories
I've ordered from people with just hearts and everything went fine. If a new shop is created, who the hell is gonna buy from them if everyone has the mentality of "they don't have enough feedback'
that's why i can't stand the fuckers on ebay from China who only care about positive feedback who have like 1000,000 + transactios

SS Speadsheet anon, thank you for finally saving things as .png
Sorry, it's just that .jpg with text especially the size12 from 4chan I have bad eyes and can't see it too well as .jpg normally is very blurry!

Fuck I posted this in the wrong thread lol

>>6763556
Okay I'll add this as well.

>>6763558
Technically it is a risk seeing as there isn't a lot of feedback to back up that they are a reliable shop/reseller even if they are getting the same shit from the factories. Even if they have a few positive feedback, that doesn't show their track record over a long period of time.

Of course with people who have a shit ton of feedback that is positive, that doesn't necessarily mean they are going to suddenly be better but having more feedback shows they are more likely to be fine sending your items to your SS or wherever it's going.

>>6763560
Your welcome. Feedback is always welcome (though posting in the thread I might not always see it).

>>6763570
Not anyone you've quoted
>Feedback is always welcome
You used the wrong fucking "YOU'RE"
Dumb bitch.

>>6763579
hurr durr not like I'm checking grammar and proper sentence structure when it's a post.

If anything, you should complain about my run-on sentences.

>>6763598
Fuck you and your stupid run on sentences then.

Contributing to this thread, I'm curious to know what you guys think an order when it's "worth it."

Sorry, that was bad grammar.

I've had shitty small orders which ended up being $500 total and only 4 items (lolita dresses), but I've also had $200 orders with a ton of little shit.

I always feel bad when I spent $300+ and I realize my order wasn't even that big.

>>6763556
>>6763549
Added these two posts in the FAQ.

Where should I add it in the SS spreadsheet? There are some other confiscation posts in the "Which SS to pick" section but these posts don't have much info on shipping (then again I was too lazy to read all the posts in the entire thread if they mentioned it later on).

Guys, this might sound kind of fucked up....
I've always wanted a purebred Persian cat, and Taobao has them way cheaper than anyone in my country has on their website.
http://s.taobao.com/search?q=%B2%A8%CB%B9%C3%A8&keyword=&commend=all&ssid=s5-e&search_type=item&atype=&tracelog=&sourceId=tb.index&rt=1365817705690&source=haiwaigou&pid=mm_14507416_2297358_8935934&unid=

Do you know anyone who would ship a cat? In my country, as there is no one local, the websites in my country over shipping if you are not local to their providence, but it is very expensive. I do not mind paying from Taobao as it is much cheaper!
Thank you!

>>6763637
Is this a troll post?

>>6763631
I was going to say add it to the "Which SS to pick" but you already have 2 other posts there.
The tabs were you put the pros & cons of each SS, or I mean that page where you give each individual SS a tab, maybe stick those screencaps in the Taobaoring?

Maybe if there's enough people who make large posts/reviews about items getting confiscated/seized/lost, you can make a new tab devoted to things like that?

>>6763639
No, I'm being serious, which is why I put "this might sound kind of fucked up"
Persians are my favorite animal however people sell them for up to thousands of £
I don't want to breed, I just want a persian cat of my own. Here they are expensive, but in the US I know they are only 1,000 USD - 3,000 USD

>>6763643
Try adopting one from a shelter, or one that isn't pure bred. I wouldn't buy an animal off of taobao ever. It would likely cost you more than the cat to have it sent to you.

Hey, can anyone help me find these false thigh highs in white? the shop in the pic doesn't seem to have them

>>6763640
I dunno if I should add it to the tbr tab since it's not really their fault that it happened.
But I do like your idea of a new tab devoted to it. I'll probably do a lot of the same cross info from the FAQ but ahh well. I'll do this later tonight or tomorrow then.

>>6763643
I'd advise emailing each SS about it because normal shipping methods won't work (obviously) so you have to see if they are willing to find and offer whatever alternative is available to you (similarly how sea shipping is only available with certain SS for large items like furniture).
Though alternative shipping methods sound expensive in general but if you're willing to try...

>>6763646
I'm aware of buying from a shelter, but the cat wouldn't be Persian. There are Persian rescue shelters but they charge a very high fee and most of the time those cats are about to die of old age or have some disease (which is why people trashed them). I don't care for non-purebreds, although I love cats I would prefer a full Persian. I also know I'd get charged high customs, however I feel my only option is buying from US or Taobao, I estimate shipping to be £250 or more. I wish they were cheaper where I'm from, but they aren't.

>>6763648
I can only find ones with designs if you don't mind that:

Good luck finding plain ones anon. Maybe these might have key characters for you to find them.

>>6763643
>>6763637

Good God if you really want a Persian I could take a frying pan and smash in the face of a regular fluffy cat for you?
These things are fucking scary as fuck why in the Hell would anyone want them. They're like pugs but versions of cats and their faces are deformed and look so sad yet some look so angry.
I feel bad for these poor creatures.

>>6763655

Why the hell are you buying a pedigree Persian when you don't even want to breed it? Don't be such a brat, pedigrees don't matter unless you're showing or breeding, and you clearly just want to use the animal as a status symbol.

>>6763648
>Hey, can anyone help me find these false thigh highs in white? the shop in the pic doesn't seem to have them
Why did you delete your post? I never saw these in white but I REALLY want those false thigh high tights in white

>>6763661
Dif anon, what's a pedigree? Do you mean purebred?

>>6763661
Can you really believe that there are actually people out there who buy purebred animals because they LIKE the look of them, and they're not just using the animal for breeding and selling profit purposes?!?

God damn, you are a fucking retard.

I don't like Persians because I don't like the pushed-in face look, but I have a Scottish Fold which is close to the same price range (they're the fluffy cats with stubby legs with folded down ears to look like owls) and I don't use it to show off or breed it. I like having my purebred cat simply because I love the look he has.

>>6763660
The sad looking ones are really cute.
The angry looking ones I feel bad for.

alright, I know you guys hate yesstyle.
But, if I'm not mistaken, it's because they sell the same things as taobao but at a higher price?

In that case, what brands should I avoid, what brands are really good, etc...
I bought a few things and some were awesome, while some were cut kind of wonky

The brand list is here:
http://www.yesstyle.com/en/women-brands/list.html/bpt.300_badid.11143

but I don't expect you guys to really read all of it, so you can just recommend something off the top of your head.
I don't mind paying extra to avoid the shopping services.

>>6763643

What the fuck?
Don't get a fucking cat from China, do you know how selfish you sound? You're going to ship a cat across the world, which would be pretty traumatizing for the poor thing in itself. Not only that, but do you know how long they have to quarantine animals coming in from another country?
Don't be an idiot, just go to the RSPCA and get a cat from there. At least go and look at them.
And yes, I'm fucking mad.

>>6763666
Well Yesstyle I'm sure doesn't only buy from Taobao. I'm sure they rip off of other websites as well.

AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT LIZLISA SHIT?! 100 USD? Jesus Christ and I thought it was really fucking expensive paying that much YUAN on Taobao!

Avoid: Vivienne Westwood/Vivi shit and Lizlisa
They seem to be taking shit from big gyaru brands

I'm not into fashion outside of lolita, so I haven't heard of any of the other brands on that list.

>>6763666
You are really stupid if you would pay those inflated prices rather than just use an SS

even with international shipping youre still saving a shit ton

>>6763674
I make good money. It's not worth the hassle.

>>6763673
thanks!

>>6763663

Pedigree and purebred are the same thing. Pedigree animals must have papers to prove their pedigree.

>>6763664

But you can find an animal that looks very like a purebred if you're willing to sacrifice the papers. When there are so many cats out there who desperately need homes, the idea of buying a pedigree animal when you don't even intend to use it for anything irks me.

>>6763678
They are and they aren't
pedigrees are purebreds
but a pedigree comes from a line of (usually winning) show/race animals

>>6763672
Gotta agree with this. Getting any animal from a foreign country is just a really bad idea in general, especially for the animal itself.

>>6763637
If you're not a troll...
It will be very expensive and difficult to ship an animal. There are all kinds of health and vet certifications and tests, special airline procedures, and your animals will have to spend months in quarantine. It's very stressful for the animal, which may become sick or die.
In the end it will probably be more than buying one in your country.

>>6763684
Not that anon, but pedigree animals have papers like Kennel Club dogs. Not at all pedigree animals come from showing/racing animals, but the typically have them in the bloodline.

Beware, bird flu
Hope it doesn't impact any SS"s
http://news.yahoo.com/china-reports-bird-flu-death-163051643.html

To the anon with the persian cat
I love persian cats too, and it would probably be cheaper buying them from Taobao. Assuming you are from Europe and everything is way fucking more expensive there than the USA, you may as well try.
I wouldn't buy a Persian from Europe because they're really expensive over there.
I was lucky to get a Persian kitten locally at only $1,000. He's a blue seal point and I love him.

Also, I don't go to shows or anything. I don't brag about my cat or anything either. I'm content with feeling happy about the kitty I have without needing the approval of other people on my decision of buying a purebred Persian.

>>6763655
Oh my god just don't do it, you're sick in the head.
Don't buy cats online!

>>6763767
Oh, let it happen. We can all laugh later when that "persian cat" ends up being another "ferrets on steroids" story.

>>6763768
rofl

>>6763767
>>6763768
You know most places that breed Persian cats sell them online. I know this for the USA, because my neighbors are Persian cat breeders and ship cats for anywhere from $250 to $500 depending on location, but it's only national.

So I'm looking at bedsheets right now and I'm wondering if anyone knows what size a full or queen bed would be in chinese measuring. they have like 4ft, 5ft, 6ft, (well in meters) and I'm not sure what that converts to in terms of twin, full, queen, king. anyone know?

>>6763781
UH... MEASURE YOU'RE OWN FUCKING BED?
Seriously, even though something may be "queen" or "king" sized, it's still arbituary (just like the sizes S, M, and L).

My queen size bed is 7feet long.

>>6763780
Ferret-joke anon here. I know. I got my cat by finding the breeder online and, had she not been local, she would have shipped the cat to us. But as you said, most reputable breeders only send interstate, not international. There are, of course, exceptions (for buying breeders or people who already are familiar with the breed, usually). But as other anons have pointed out, it's a stressful and expensive process which results in the "cheap" cat from abroad being the same price as one bought at home, without the stress of quarantine and travel added to it.

Plus, buying a cat from TaoBao, from a seller who doesn't speak your language and whose situation you can't investigate, really does sound like the set-up for a horror story.

>>6763790
>without the stress of quarantine and travel added to it.
Should be "with the stress" rather.

>>6763781

>>6763780
National is a lot less stressful on the cat, although hopefully they are accompanied each time. Plus, it doesn't sounds like they're selling them on eBay or anything.

>>6763768
I love my cat far too much to find that funny, but I understand the inherent humor and appreciate the effort.

Saw it in the taobao tag on tumblr.

So.. this is more of an SS vent than anything... but DollyRibbon has been deliberately ignoring me for some reason. She messaged me ten days ago regarding a missing item in my package and that she would delay shipping so I said fine. She also said she'd let me know if the TB seller says anything about it. Messaged her earlier this week about it and never got a reply. It's the end of the week and I can see her replying to posts on her FB group so she's obviously not away from a computer or anything so I posted about it there too. I still got ignored. Wtf

Anybody ever had to deal with this type of situation before?

could anyone help me find these?

>>6763826

I've had to deal with that from sellers before. Threaten to open a Paypal dispute. That makes them answer really quickly.

>>6763895

Unfortunately XL was unavailable when TBR went to buy it so I have to switch out to Purple in an L ughhh... Which means I won't have matching pairs until they restock...

Look what I found randomly on taobao - Sailor Saturn's earrings:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.308.KanhOG&id=915945303

... I'd change the earring hooks if I were you, wouldn't trust taobao earring hooks.

>>6763895
not same anon, but requesting also
no sockdreams please international shipping is a bitch

>>6763391

Thanks! Hopefully it's not so busy now, since even TBR doesn't seem so backed up now, hah. In any case though, the other skirt i ordered is not coming til May 20th ish so I'm good, I suppose.

My package finally arrived. And holy shit I did not expect the Arkapasso to be that huge. I expected tiny lapdog size, it is not. Also my Chess Story Skirt order got messed up and instead i received the JSK version (Which is also okay with me, because I like both). And some random earrings (which I can't wear because i have 10 mm tunnels) got included while I did not order those (But freebies never hurt). Really glad it arrived.

What do you think of the Infanta coat? I've been trying to decide between that one and one other that they have, but I've heard mixed reviews of the quality (people saying their coats look nothing like the photo, etc.)
Also link to the blue rose necklace?

>>6764231
It is really good. One of the medals arrived broken but luckily it was nothing that couldn't be easily fixed, and I think it is customs fault and not infanta's, cause they were a bit rough with my package. But the coat itself it great, nice embroidery and really thick woolish material, so it really makes a nice and warm wintercoat. The blue rose is a bracelet btw, but here you go:

Awe can you take a picture with your arkapasso?

I buy my pedigree poodles from Argentina, so it's not unreasonable to buy your persian cats from taobao.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w1309373735.112.MLRPvT&id=15516034224

Has anyone bought these before? I'd like to know how they hold up. And do any other stores sell them--preferably in pairs? Thanks!

>>6764247
Cross and hairclip: Nice and sturdy. Cross isn't as shiny as in the picture though. Same goes for the flower on the hairclip.
Hairband: Feels like something you should be very careful with. But it looks really nice and it doesn't feel painful on your head or anything. (I sometimes have that my hairbands create a bit of a pinchy feeling)

>>6764252
Here you go Anon, a quick snapshot made with my phone of me and my new buddy. Sorry for my messy and derpy look, I just came out of the shower, so my hair is still wet :P

>>6764242
Sweet! That makes me feel a lot better about buying one. Also oh, it looked like a necklace from the picture but thank you for the link because it's still kawaii as fuck
also
>>6764275
holy fucking shit dude

>>6764286
No problem, I would suggest to buy a size larger then your usual size though. Infanta's clothing is a bit small for the size. I usually need an L with asian clothing, but with Infanta this became an XL.

>>6764290
Thanks for the tip! I usually buy a size up with all lolita brands just to be safe, and I've never been disappointed. One more question about the coat, is it really as heavy as it looks in the picture? I live in a really hot climate and even our winters can give unprepared northerners heat stroke apparently, the only other reservation I had about buying one of these is the fact that I may never get to wear it if it's too heavy. :(

>>6764297
It is a medium heavy I think. It is not the most lightweight coat though. But it is also not as heavy as the picture suggests.

>>6764275
Oh my god it's so huge!

>>6764302
Thanks again!
Also you're kawaii as fuck too in case I forgot to mention :B
Polite sage for lack of contribution.

>>6764213
Wait, you got your Mozrabic Chant?? Mine hasn't even come to my SS yet.

>>6764275
nice obvious arpakasso knockoff, lol

>>6763643
If you are seriously asking this on a taobao thread I'm really confused, but I'll give you my best advice. Look for an animal rescue group that specifically has persian cats. I found my siamese that way ^.^

>>6763655
Same Siamese cat owner. I'm currently living in mainland China and I'm trying to bring my cat over it is SUPER expensive to transport animals! It requires loads of paper work from customs and medical testing then the transportation. The transportation alone cost around 200USD and that's if you personally carry him/her in the aircraft with you.

Good luck with you search though. I hope you find a lovely cat

>>6763781
You will need to measure. Even between countries you'd expect to be similar, like between Australia and New Zealand, the sizes vary.

>>6763655
honestly just keep checking shelters/humane societies. Their priority is finding pets homes, let them know you are specifically looking for a persian cat and to contact you if one comes in - my mother told the shelter that if any kittens came in to contact her, and she is going to take one home next month.

>>6764220
what colour did you order that wig in? I wanted it in black but my ss told me it was only available in purple. i just ended up settling for another wig an anon on here showed me that i can mod for my needs

>>6764006
Haha awesome. Which one do you plan to get anon?

Found this gothic-style shop some of you might like, decent prices too
http://glpclub.taobao.com

>>6764422
Agreed.
There were some russian blues at a local shelter which apparently cost quite a bit, that were sold for $175 each. Which is just the cost of shots and spaying and licensing etc. But they weren't wanted by their owner any more and needed a good home despite having a good lineage and any possible lost profit you know?

So if you go to a shelter and ask for a specific breed, they'll try and find you one - ask other shelters etc because they really do want the animals to go to good homes and be happy.

>>6764556
Odd. Ordered it in black and my SS said it was in stock.

I need advice here, I'm going to buy shoes for the first time on taobao. How do you guys choose? I mean, do you buy the exact size you wear or do you choose one size more?

>>6764649
I buy shoes based off my foot's measurement and stick to that size and I haven't had uncomfortable shoes

>>6763643
I would just say don't do it because these animals are probably kept in very poor conditions similar to those of puppy mills so don't give them your business!

The SAL tracking site isn't loading for me. Anyone else having issues with that?

>>6764213
review/link to the book bag please?

Yoybuy's forwarding system came through. Even though the tracking never updated after it left Hong Kong, but everything got here safely! No signs of the box being opened or searched through, and nothing missing. Phew, all the relief. I'm a little amused though that this order was worth $300+ and they marked it down to $10.

Will put up reviews on tumblr later.

>>6763160
beige or a light to medium brown if I recall correctly

I know I'm being vague as fuck, though I think they were the only soft-boots to be posted in the past two to three threads that I saw

>>6764314
I know right
>>6764318
No problem, and thank you for the compliment
>>6764391
I got it in the first reserve period. If you did too, I don't know why yours is not there yet. But yeah i had to wait 3 months too before it arrived at my SS
>>6764392
It is really soft and fluffy, and if the quality is good then I don't mind it being a knockoff.
>>6764718
Review: Nice bag that is on the bigger side, but not to big. It is nice and sturdy and the print is really clear. It is split in some smaller and bigger compartments, so you can put your phone in a compartment on the side without losing it in the big mess. The chain attached to the strap seems a bit weak though, like it could snap when a robber tries to yank it away from you. But overall I think it is a nice bag.

And the link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17053107994

>>6764740
Looking forward to it!

>>6763509
I would like you measurement for references. Because I think I'm around your height and weight but I want to be sure.

>>6764740

So explain the package forwarding process and how much you saved versus what an ss would have charged you?

Gah, none of the tracking websites will load for me

What should one do,if her parcel,which was marked as gift,lays in customs and they want an invoice?

>>6764837
...How do you invoice a gift?

>>6764846
Yeah,that's what I asked myself.
I got a letter from my local custom office.They want me to pick my parcel up and bring a bill. But it was marked as gift,so...
(Also,sorry for my bad english.)

>>6764784
Oh, no, not the fowarding service where you buy from taobao using your own card and such. The forwarding service due to the Chinese customs being stricter on packages to the US. They offered to send it through the Hong Kong post (over 2kg) or the Singapore post (under 2kg) instead of through the Chinese post as I had items that might be potentially confiscated (funnily enough they told me it was all my cosplay items....). I was really worried about it since when I asked about others' experiences with it, they said nobody had used it yet and insurance wasn't available, but I needed my things so took a chance anyway.

>>6764871
Tell them it's a cultural exchange gift with a penpal or something

>>6764117
Is Sockdreams location only in Portland, OR? Or do they have other sockdream locations?

>>6764213
Wait... So you bought the skirt but received the JSK instead? That's like a 150yuan difference. I'm confused, did you ask them to change the order to the JSK or...?

>>6764273
If no one has bought these before, does anyone know what keywords might bring them up in the search?

>>6764318
You have extremely low standards if you think that landwhale weeaboo is "kawaii".

>>6764392
How can you tell if it's a knockoff or not? j/w I mean it's just a stuffed animal so....?

>>6764422
Lol yeah, anyone who has an expensive purebred cat would not be going to a shelter. It'd be going into someone's pocket for profit, no one would just donate a fucking scottish fold or some shit like that.

>>6764596
Everyone knows about Gothic Lolita & Punk and RQ-BL...

>>6764740
Wtf all that costs $300? Sorry but that really is a waste of money.

>>6764902
Whatever the listing is from lovehateskill, there must be keywords in the title...

>>6764916
No, the items themselves were in the $200-$250 range. Shipping jacked it up to $300.

>>6764596
It's cheaper to just buy from them on eBay.

>>6764919
I tried various things from the title, but nothing but that one came up. I guess it's the only one, but I was hoping there might be another term for it. Thanks anyway!

>>6764275
Can you link to the alpaca plush?

Generic clothes order, I don't think there's any replicas?

>>6764916
dif anon, but
$30 jacket + $35 seifuku + $40 for 3 pastel shirts + $40 shoes + $100 for 5 wigs + $10 arpakasso + $15 decoden + $5 socks + $10 iPhone case + $20 for the random crap in right hand corner

sounds about right, they're not grossly overpaying or anything

>>6764907
look at it's face and compare it to the real thing. it's very obvious.

>>6764910
I don't know what country you're from, but in the US, about 25% of dogs that end up in shelters are purebreds. I couldn't find the estimate for cats, but it's probably not much different.

>>6764896
That's their only physical store afaik. It's free shipping anywhere in the US though, so.

>>6764929
d-did you buy all those with the sole purpose of getting it past Chinese customs? because there's a lot nicer non- replica stuff out there on taobao...

>>6764912
Some people have admitted they only visit /cgl/ for the Taobao threads, so they may not be lolitas. Or, people new to lolita may not know about all the shops the experienced lolitas know about. The shop isn't listed in any of the spreadsheets, so I wanted to share. At least my post was informative and helpful; you should probably delete yours. (Do it, and then I'll delete this one so we can both stop shitting up the thread.)
>>6764922
Thanks for the info!

>>6764938
>Some people have admitted they only visit /cgl/ for the Taobao threads

I will admit I have redirected people from /toy/ to these threads for the middleman charts and FAQ. It beats having to deal with constant "how does i taobao 4figs" questions/threads.

>>6764937
>purpose of getting it past Chinese customs
Yup. I've had lizlisa stuff in the past get seized by customs (my first order using Taobaospree back in December 2011), so I'm never ordering that stuff again.

>>6764935
Pitbulls do not count as purebreds. Pitbulls are monsters and should be murdered (thank God there's been so many murders and attacks by them from where I live that they're banned). And when people say it's the owners fault, that's partially true but only because 99% of the owners are trash.

>>6764936
Oh, well I live a few cities away from Portland. I didn't know if it was there only store. When you say free shipping to the US, do you mean they include the shipping price inside the item price and call that free shipping? Like instead of $5 + $5 shipping, they make it $10 free shipping?
I went to Sock Dreams once and it was extremely cheap. Like socks were all $5 and under, however their website is far more pricey...

>>6764938
Different anon, I was wondering the same thing though. EGL has a huge list full of Taobao stores and they mention RQ-BL and GLP, but it's really not much cheaper on Taobao unfortunately. On btb there was a post and in the comments someone asked where else they can buy RQ-BL items from other retailers, but even resellers price is to pretty much the same on Taobao.
Sucks, because I'm a poorfag and I don't like spending more than $40 on a dress.

>>6764955
I have no idea if it's "actually free" though if the prices are as low as you say in-person I'm sure it could certainly be the case.

>>6764959
Then you're in the wrong fashion.

>>6764929

I hope your Lena clothes don't get seized. Ingni and Snidel are pretty popular right now.

>>6764953
okay that's a load of bullshit, my pitbull, may tupac(his name) rest in peace, was the nicest thing we had. You have to train dogs and because ppl can be so rotten alot of nice dogs get bad rep as fight dogs.

Seriously though can we not turn the taobao thread into pet/animal wank? It's derailed enough as-is.

>>6764953
This is my favorite site, just thought I'd share in case you hadn't heard of Topix, but the particular one I read in my spare time is:
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/massena-ny/TQHT6EP8B9ABIV8CV
About pitbulls and there's 500+ stories and news reports/articles of pitbulls murdering babies, senior citizens, and all other people in between.
I had a horror scare twice with pitbulls. My nigger neighbors had pitbulls (yes niggers not blacks huge different we know already) and my dad had to shoot one. It killed our cat right in front of me when I was looking out the window. I wasn't allowed to go outside (didn't understand why back then) because my dad knew if one of those pitbull got out, it would surely kill me. Later, their pitbulls got loose of course and the police were called and they killed the guy's 5 other pitbulls.

>>6764935
In my local shelters, 90% of the dogs are pitbulls because no one wants them. They're dangerous and should not be made into pets.

Contributing to this thread now, I bought myself a cute cat bed and I'm going to be looking for a pet carrier.

>>6764966
OMG LOOK! ONE PERSON'S PITBULL ISN'T A MONSTER! omg!!
Yeah, it's called exceptions.
In shelters the majority are there due to backyard breeding from trashy assholes who are probably on welfare/drugs.
I've never seen a decent person have a pitbull.
Golden Retrievers are NICE dogs. But who is going to pay $1,000+ for a golden retriever pup when you can just go get a monster pit for practically free?
They're cheap because no one wants them. They're in every shelter because no one wants them. They're the most dangerous and intimidating dogs for a reason.

>>6764970
And yeah, but you should have saged your comment.

Currently I'm debating whether or not I should get those fint/milk/axes femme replica dresses from mysis, I just don't wanna pay fucking 169yuan for one dress. I'm into lolita but I seriously can't imagine myself paying 100yuan or more for a "normal" (nonlolita) dress.

>>6764976
I dropped my sage and didn't feel it necessary to waste another comment to say so. Oh no.

Quit derailing the thread, no one fucking cares that you're scared of pitts.

WHICH ONE IS CUTEST GUYS?
I have a himalayan persian, if cat breeds matter

>>6764978
>>6764966
obv samefag

>>6764983
they're all gay and pink oh god I hope you never get married. that guy best be a faggot.

>>6764972
dunno if you're the same person as >>6764983
but again if your cat is male he best be a faggot.

i can't stand it when girls do shit like get princess-like shit for their cats. i bet you guys wipe your cat's ass huh and link the remaining shit off.

>>6764983
I like the cube and the one shaped like a house

>>6764989
lol ok

But I agree on the stupid princessy shit, dear god it's a fucking cat. It doesn't care.

>>6764976
oh cuz you are too scared to call the police about animal abused? You said so yourself the wrong ppl are breeding them. All dogs have the chance of being dangerous. And American are fucking cheap. And have no sense of responabilty. We think we can just get a dog and that it. No training nothing. We are stupid as a whole.
On topic can I get some reviews from shoes sized 9 1/2 and up?

>>6764983
Pink lace dog one

Post link to it, I want one for my cat.

>>6764983
That breed of cat is fucking kawaii anon. Seriously I love them, and Tonkinese or a Siamese...all those that have those color markings make my heart melt. My favorite kitties are the Scottish folds though, oh my god the cuteness is ridiculous.

As for the kitty house, I really like the one with ears or the cube one.

>>6763643
Most reputable breeders of animals won't ship them because of the stress. If they're reputable and do ship, they are making a rare exception. Anyone shipping animals is just in it for the money, how do you know you'll actually get a persian at the end of all that? Or even a cat at all? What happens when they send you a sick cat?

I know a woman who got a Scottish fold kitten from a well known breeder of those cats who claimed she was disease free, and wouldn't you know it, the poor kitten had feline herpes. It had to be put on expensive medicine, and the woman's other Scottish fold did too, I forget if her original cat ended up contracting it or not.

>>6765021
There is where I got my Persian cat and they are very reputable:
http://www.daphnesdolls.com/availkittens.htm
I live all the way across the US from them, and was thinking about taking a plane ride to pick up the little guy, except it would have been cheaper to just have them ship the kitty to me. Teacup Persians are the most expensive kitties, but I was lucky to get mine for a bit under $2,000 total (including shipping & deposit). They've gone up in prices though... I mean $4,500 for a cat? WTF?!
From their site:
Shipping is available to anywhere in the Continental U.S. For the comfort of our kitties we ship with Continental Airlines which has a controlled temperature cargo area. This means more dates and times that your kitten can be shipped to you.

Shipping is $450.00 and includes:
Airline Certified Pet Carrier
Vet Health Certificate
Baby Blanket
Sample of Kitten Food
Health Guarantee/Sales Contract
Health Record

>>6763643
I think what you could do is ask a one-person agent like dollypoodle or celestial whatever her name is. I doubt any regular SS would do this...

>>6765021
Ew feline herpes sounds disgusting. I'm not a huge fan of cats but I am a huge fan of pugs. I bought 2 pug puppies from a reputable breeder and they are the cutest things ever. Brother and sister, and the price was discounted as I bought 2. They're still healthy and well, and I've even taken them with me on planes with my husband when we go vacationing during the summer. Only issue I've had is them contracting "cherry eye", which kind of makes me sick, because it looks like their eye is bleeding pus. The red color just disgusts me when I see it in eyes, whether it be a human or an animal.

To the person wanting the cat houses, I'm not the same anon lol but here's a link to them:
http://s.taobao.com/search?initiative_id=staobaoz_20130414&q=%B7%DB%C9%AB+%C3%A8+%B7%BF

>>6765000
America is a fucked up country where criminals are treated as babies. Over in other countries the death penalty is actually enforced and criminals aren't just sitting in cells wasting tax payers money. Why the fuck should I have to work for my money to be put into taxes for shit like that? Why should I have to work when the government could just take care of me. Fuck, so many of those people in jail live better lives than me: Free entertainment, free food, free shelter, etc.

Also, police don't do shit until something actually happens. It's just how America works, and that's why the mental health system is seriously fucked up. My father (who lives far, far away in a hospital now) was a schizo from doing hard drugs (no excuses, that stuff is disgusting) and while he was "sick" in his psychotic mode, we couldn't do anything until he actually did something to us. I'd call the police and beg them to take him away, but until he actually did something, we couldn't do anything. He almost killed my brother and after the 20th or so complaint I filed to the police, they finally took him away.

Well what kind of shoes? There's all different styles.

>>6764976
Any dog can be a "monster" depending on how it's raised

Go fuck yourself

Oh my fuck why is the taobao thread now Pets General

Go to /an/ or something

God damnit I just love looking at my boyfriend. I could do it all day. He's so fucking sexy, with and without clothes.

GUYS, where are some nice and have a bigger price difference than eBay for gothic type clothes that would fit someone
Like some 6 foot 2 and 140 pounds (I know he's sickly thin).

>>6765059
LOL no they can't. Pitbulls have it in them naturally.
You can't do anything about it, so stfu you know I'm right.

You know how many people adopt pits from the humane society and then their dog ends up turning on them?

Do you remember the first face transplant that was ever given? A woman had her face RIPPED OFF by her sweet and loving pet pitbull.

CONTRIBUTING TO THIS THREAD because people keep writing shit IRRELEVANT to this thread, do I have any hope into fitting into long sleeve shirts and them not end up being 5 inches or more from my wrist? Every long sleeve shirt ends up being a 3/4 sleeve shirt.
I'm 5 foot fucking 9 (and asian..)

>>6765058
heels and boots. I'm have big feet and some fat on my calves so I was wondering how they feel and look. Like I know photos are shopped but I still worry that boots won't fit my calves.

>>6765067
Omg just like me ._. The issue I've had with boots is that they don't fit my disgustingly muscular thighs. I've bought several pairs of boots (some with heels, some without) and they just don't zip up and they're NEVER comfortable when it comes to putting them on, because my calves aren't skinny enough.

You should be worried, and I'm sorry if this doesn't help you, but I really don't know what to say. I'm an athlete with a disgusting male-like bodybuilder type of body, so my everywhere is just big and muscular and muscular and ew. I wish I was all dainty and kawaii and skinny so then I could fit things properly.

It's hard enough just finding things in size 43!

>>6765066
>because people keep writing shit IRRELEVANT to this thread
Of come off it, you're derailing as much or more than anyone else.

Has anyone bought actual brand (like AP) from Taobao? This isn't customs related, I just wanna know how it went.

>>6765066
There is not such thing as a naturally violent dog, they get that way based on what they are taught by humans. Stop pulling "facts out of your ass you ignorant hillbilly

>>6765066
yes, measure your arm, shoulders, torso if you want to be sure. Compared them to size charts they have.

>>6765069
oh anon I'm glad you feel the pain. I'm trying to lose the weight cuz my calves and arms are the only place that have fat on them. I worry so much. All the cute shoes always stop one shoe size below yours. The pain!!!! I can deal with having big feet but I want this fat to just go away.

>>6764953
But I found a pit puppy on the side if the road and he was kawaii and happy.

I called him Willis and kept him until I found the owner.

>>6765089
Unfortunately for my losing weight doesn't do anything since I have too much muscle, I don't know how to "lose" muscle... I hardly have any fat on my body but my build is just so bulky and manly ugh I feel like I can't do anything but stick to my Walmart and Payless bought Sketchers. lol it sucks, but if your calves are just fat than it should work out fine for you when you lose it! For me, I don't think there's any hope. I'm as lean as can be and unless I starve myself I don't know how to remove this muscle I have? Stop exercising lol but then it'll all turn to fat ._. It's like an endless cycle

I don't know how many of you live in Portland, but I just got in the mail something about an art tax. This isn't right. I am not fucking paying for the public schools of Portland for ART.

Fuck man, art is NOT important. It's a great hobby and I love drawing and painting and shit, but If you think you're gonna get rich or make a lot of money being an artist, actress, singer, or the like, get real.

I'm pretty pissed off. I wonder if I'll get arrested for not paying for this shit.

$35 a month? Guess I won't be able to pay my Taobao order shipping when everything arrives at the SS. I'm a college student and broke as fuck, this is my first Taobao order and the first time I've bought anything more than my monthy 50 pack of Top Ramen noodles. Wow, fucking unbelievable. I don't even qualify for fucking welfare because in Portland, you have no NOT work in order.

Well fuck, I guess I should just quit my shitty minimum order part time job so I can be like the 99% and not work, just live off of tax payers.

Sorry guys, I'm just royally pissed. As if Portland could get anymore fucking stupid. Fucking liberals are ruining the city, I think I'm moving away after this term. I can't stand all these gay laws.

>>6765130

You did that taobao review too? All the items look the same.

>>6765130
I wasn't aware the taobao thread was now the political rant thread but at this point I guess it can't be any more off topic.

And if you're that broke then you really shouldn't be making mass overseas orders. Get a grip.

>>6765139

Never mind, probably not since the review listed items in pounds rather than dollars.

>>6765139
No sorry lol wrong picture
I save people I like's taobao collages under a folder called "Taobao" and I had named my order "taobao order.png" so when i typed "taobao order" it automatically took the .jpg picture (that person's collage) under the same name

>>6765141
I bought all of my items second hand or under 100yuan, because lizlisa shit is pretty expensive (I consider anything over 100yuan to be expensive)

I've been in thrift all my life relying on charities and I came from a broken family.
I know I shouldn't be making mass overseas order, but I didn't spent much and I've never went shopping in my entire life. I've just been wearing hand-me-downs from my older brother. I'm 20.

>>6763666
if you're finished talking about cats, I was wondering if anyone would care to glance at these brands for me?

>>6765130
>art is not important
>not realizing every other type of work has a need for art
who designs websites, clothing, text books,that ugly shit you brought from taobao. It's 35 dollars. If you are so high atrophy go back to your brother handmedowns.

>>6765156
No one gives a shit about yesstyle, this is a taobao thread, go to soompi or something

>>6765130
fuck off mate

>>6765149
Link to the brown shirt on the left?

>>6765149

Despite your shitty political views, that's some really cute shit. Good taste if nothing else

>>6765179
Dif anon, what's shitty about being against the art tax? Fuck I don't live in Oregon but I've heard about it and if some shit like that happened here I'd be fucking pissed. That shit just ain't right.

>>6765163
Fuck you

>>6765156
>>6763666
Wow, those are a lot of brands. Thanks for bringing this here, more brands to look up on Taobao. I suggest not buying anything lizlisa. Not because the price is the $ amount of what it would be on Taobao in yuan (I mean, i.e. that dress is $100USD on Yesstyle but only 100yuan on Taobao which is only $15...), but because shit from lizlisa seems to get taken by customs. Most of the other shit seems to be generic, so I doubt anything else would get taken. I didn't see Vivi on the list.

>>6765174
Read >>6765153,
>second hand or under 100yuan
I think it's probably useless to ask for links since everything is probably going to be of only 1.

That brown shirt on the left coconuts and niniyiyilizlisa- or whatever that shop is sell it, but it's 150yuan.

>>6765149
Link to green dress please

>>6765149
link to the dress second from left on top row?

not the anon you were responding to, but this shop as that dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w289079407.17.ASOE5X&id=23807096791

might be found somewhere else for cheaper though

http://niniyiyi55-lizlisa.taobao.com/search.htm

I'm not really sure if you read my post or not, but everything I bought was from ershou or second hand from peoples' shops (I know I said under 100yuan but I meant to write "and"), so everything I bought is sold out as everything was second hand.

I didn't buy from niniyiyi, but from my list of cheapest lizlisa and gyaru clothing, they are the cheapest and have almost every item I have purchased.

>>6765194

I misread oh dear. I thought "I can't stand all these gay laws" meant actual laws for gays (hey, Portland is a pansy liberal city after all) and I got my pansy liberal jimmies rustled. But I guess they're just talking about ridiculous taxes, which I can respect. I do agree the art tax is retarded.

Have any of you tried to be taobao resellers?

I NEED LINKS TO SCRATCHING POSTS
I'm not gonna pay Petco or Petsmart $100+ for a fucking three tiered chunk of wood tacked with carpet when I could make this myself.

Anyone know of some cute asian boy punkish clothes? My boyfriend is starting to dress like a nigger and it's disgusting me.

>>6765345
not on taobao, but I got a 6 foot cat tree for like $75+free shipping from overstock.com

>>6764752
I just looked through the archives for the last like 6 threads and the only thing I saw to even slightly fit the bill were these:

What's a term I can use to find clothing with cat related features? (Like a kitty face on the front or cat ears on the hood)

>>6764772
I'm 5'4" and weigh 130 lbs.

>>6764740
That's good to hear. It makes me feel a little better about my replicas being shipped safely. My package is under 2kg but still.

>>6765534
That sounds like an awful small order. What'd you get?!

>>6765417
NEKO MIMI MODE

Aside from the one's posted in this thread, does anyone know of any Taobao shops that carry cute shoes in size 41? I'm looking for these boots in particular.

Did a full review of this more recent order (the Bhiner one I posted earlier in this thread was oldish) with a bunch of pics.

Anyone know how much this might weigh?

>>6765588
When you buy an Usamimi plug do you buy one or a whole bag?

>>6765615
Just one with that particular seller.

>>6763629
Fuck off for being such a cunt.

>>6765546
Mostly Liz Lisa purses and some tattoos for cosplay.

>>6765610
Probably around 0.478kg going off a similar shaped bag I just bought.

>>6765814
Thanks! Did you receive your order yet/can you tell me about the purse quality?

>>6765845
No problem. I haven't received my order yet. I'm still waiting for Yoybuy to receive the top left purse and the tattoos before I tell them to ship it out. I'll be using Singapore post since they're replicas.

>>6763126
Can I get a link to the frilly tank tops?

>>6763655
I'm pretty sure that the UK has a really long quarantine for cats, like 6 months. People have already said it would be really stressful for the cat, but when a cat's stressed out that long it'll ruin its personality. So, not really worth it.

>>6765149
good luck not having your shit confiscated

>>6765069
You do know if you search on taobao...there's a option for shoe sizes...right?

Does anyone know where these pumps are from?

>>6765882
not that anon, but anyone know when the customs crackdown will officially end?

>>6765891
found something similar on taobao:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w1910902048.14.OHfOWj&id=22639740919

for styles like these, just type in "vivi" in search and go to the "popular shoes" category below the "women" one

I'm trying to order a few cellphone cases...and how do you make sure it's for your phone model?All I see is Iphone cases even tho I typed in samsung

>>6765949


Thank you!

Not much but I've been drooling over that dress since last spring so why not. The bag in the center is only $3 so I'm preparing myself for shitty quality.

>>6765999
Link to bag?

>>6765999
Augh shit dude, I wish I'd seen that woven bag when I made my order! It's super cute! Link to the other one too, though?

if you read the item description it says it's 640g

>>6765690
>>6766163
Thank you both! Sorry about that--I don't know how I missed it in the item description since I looked at it hundreds of times.

These threads are ridiculously bad for my wallet. As is Tumblr. I may end up adding another $150 worth of items in tights and bags to my current order based on reviews found here and there. My favourite purse just died a horrible death (sister in law's dog got to it), so the timing is ironic. Let's say.

>>6765417
You could try 'cat' or '猫' and then use tags to avoid real cats, I guess...

>>6764910
Not related to thread but I work at a shelter and someone recently brought in a 2 year old kangal with perfect temperament.
Those things sell for like 3k gbp as pups.
Some people are lazy and have more money than sense.
We've had all sorts of purebreeds, some on the pretty high end scale too.

Where can I find those lolita book shaped bags? The ones with like, the white rabbit and/or Cinderella's coach on them. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

The website to track my SAL package won't load no matter what I try. help?

>>6765999
Link to top bag, skirt, and bunny stockings?

My first order! I'm estimating it to be about 4~5kg. Does that sound about right?

>>6764899
No I did not, I think it was just a mistake. I paid for the skirt. I do not know how this happened, cause they always made pictures when something was different or a different item was received by accident. Not that I mind receiving the Jsk ofcourse

Which SS was it? I got Ms. Zeng from Taobaospree and she told me it wasn't in stock. I'm so fucking miffed now.

>>6766184
I'm placing my order on Tuesday so I just want to stalk this thread so badly but it's honestly a bad idea. I was so proud of myself for making a small order but I'm already thinking about adding some shoes I saw here.

>>6766274
Well, that's a relief. Still going to ask them to remove the Liz Lisa tags just as a safety measure.

>>6766277
I've got Cici and it apparently is. I mean, I'm assuming it is, because she told me another item was out of stock, but didn't say anything about that one. Which wig did you get instead?

>>6765952
type in the model number as well. I have a S3 so I would type in 'samsung galaxy s3' and then the chinese characters for case. or I9300. Sometimes the listings is for the right phone but you'd see an IPhone because that case comes in various makes for various phones.

>>6766284
What the fuck? Did they mysteriously restock after? First it was in stock, then Zeng got back to me and said it wasn't. Whatever. What's done is done.

And I got this one after an Anon on here showed me it and I found a tut on YT which showed how to take the two twintails and modify them into a hime bump.

I feel your pain. I was just going to spend max 300$ on my order. Yeah fuck that. It's now up in 500$ and I am having a hard time not adding more items. I had 15 items when I sent off my first payment, now I have 28...

Picture is my final order. I can't add more, or I won't have money for food the rest of the month. Though I just found this adorable lolita items this morning, I need to restrain myself...

>>6766300
sauce on upper right pink shoes?

I want to try my hands on making my own Lolita accessories, before I spend hours on looking for good stores, I thought I should ask if anyone here has bought DIY things before and has any recommendations?

>>6763655

You're disgustingly selfish, treating a living creature like a fucking object.
I hope you spend thousands on some purebred only to receive a common tabby and that you have to keep it. Maybe then you'll learn some humility and compassion. Animals don't a shit what you look like, why do give a shit what THEY look like?

People like you make me sick to my stomach. You don't even give a fuck that some cat is going to have to go through enormous amounts of stress and fear all so some fucking bitch like you can have some kind of burando version of a cat. If this is the kind of attitude you display when it comes to animals then no doubt you'll eventually get sick of it and lean in favour of some new, sparkly pet, then you'll ship the poor thing off to a shelter.

>>6763655
I fucking hate you and this whole thread is making me mad as hell.
You don't deserve a cat, purebred or mutty.
By the way, Persians are predisposed to kidney failure, and mine died fairly young because of it. Almost all of them have kidney disease.

I'm still waiting on Taobaoring to get on my order from before CNY.

:(

>>6763655
Do you know how much UK quarantine costs for cats? It's far cheaper buying one from within the UK. The shipping is at least £200 and the quarantine fees will probably be at least £1500. That's not even including all the medical costs (vacinations etc.) you'll have to shell out. Makes far more sense to buy one from a licenced UK breeder.

>>6766330
That is.... I have no words. I think I'm going to avoid Taobaoring. Could you just cancel the order and find a new SS?

>>6764983
Links, please! Those would look really cute with my black longhair cat, esp. if they have them in light blue, too.

So is there any good SS that you guys don't complain about? TBR is behind on orders, Bhiner with their requote shit, and Pruany is sloppy at times.

>>6766381
Taobaospree, only thing is that they are bit more expensive, but I've never heard anything bad about them and I've never had any problems myself

>>6766381
>>6766388

I just sent in my second payment to TBspree and I had a really good experience.

>>6765345
Wouldn't that be insanely expensive to ship?
I got one from costco for like $70. You don't have to be a member to use their website, but they don't always have them. I know this is a taobao thread, but I bet that would end up cheaper.

>>6766326
Lol, most cats die from kidney disease. That's pretty much the default way for cats to die if they don't get killed by something else.

>>6766388
Taobaospree left me hanging for a week when I was getting a bunch of stuff. Like, no response after I'd paid and had questions or something. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I got worried about my stuff and thought they weren't worth the higher fees.
But Bhiner's pissing me off so much that I'm going to go back to them next time I order.

>>6766406
i've never had any issues with them communication-wise but i guess ymmv on who you get.

i've been thinking on using bhiner as i like the cart system just for a regular small order but that requote shit sounds annoying.

I usually use Taobaospree but for this order (>>6765999) I'm going to try BuyChina. I've heard positive reviews from a lot of people and they're only charging me $35 for shipping.

>>6766485
>buychina

Are all these people swearing by Milanoo and Buychina from Tumblr or something?

>>6764740

where did the ear tips come from?

>>6766493
There's a lot of detailed reviews on Tumblr, yes. I'm not ordering until Tuesday so I'll probably calculate how much my total would be using other SS just in case.

>>6766485
>>6766507

I'm currently waiting on an order from Buychina and the price ended up being cheaper then ordering from Taobao. There's no where as near as much items listed on the site compared to Taobao, but they had all the ones that I wanted and the search function is easier.

I've seen good reviews for them too and there's like no complaints on their facebook apart from the basic one ie. "my order is 2 days late" and stuff. If I do get scammed in any way I'm going to rail them up the arse with a chargeback so it's no biggy.

>>6765037
Just a warning, Teacup animals get ridiculously sick fast, and have more health issues because they are the result of interbreeding the runts. Until they get smaller animals.

>>6766485
I assume you already know this but Buychina spammed cgl multiple times and sent "pay your balance" requests to anons who had never even used Buychina before much less had money that they owed them!
Personally I wouldn't ever use a SS who spammed forums to generate business and I would never use a service who tried to scam money off of people. It doesn't exactly scream trustworthy to me and you can be handing these people over hundreds of dollars that you may never see again

It's your money and your choice anon but there are so many better and equally inexpensive services out there

hey, does anyone have recommendation for good petticoats on taobao? i just got my first lolita dress but realize I don't actually have a petticoat. I know there are a lot around, but I'm after a good one.

>>6766535

Honestly, the whole thing about breeding "pedigree" pets makes me sick.
Can you imagine the public outcry if people began breeding human children that only lived up to their 20's and died in a horrible, painful way riddled by disease, but people kept breeding them anyway because they "looked attractive"? It's so fucking messed up.

It's like, I really love pugs. I love their cute, smooshy faces and their googly eyes. Yes, they're adorable, yes I want one, but I could never actually bring myself to purchase one because it would be putting money into the pockets of the people that are creating this poor creatures and that's just evil. Even if there was one in a shelter, yeah I'd probably be attracted to re-homing it, but I'd be more likely to go for the dog that needed a home the most. How can you seriously walk into a shelter and look at all those sweet little faces and then ignore them all and make a beeline for "purebreeds"? Purebreeds HAH, it's just a nicer word for INBRED. In countries like India because of the caste system they think they're keeping the bloodlines pure by marrying into their family, and the congenital deformity rate is off the scale, it's unreal.

I really wish any of you inbred lovers think twice before you go out and buy another status pet, because to people like me you only look like a sick, selfish, twisted fool. It doesn't make you look classy or expensive.

>>6766548
Classical Puppets

>>6766548
I got classical puppets bell shaped one and love it.
The poof on that thing just wont die, even after I shove it in tiny smashed up spaces for ages.

>>6766403
Yeah, but Persians are even more susceptible than most other breeds. In my experience it hits them earlier, too.

>>6766539
Yeah, I heard about that. It made me a bit skeptical about ordering from them. That and a few months ago they had an offer that if you spent over $150 and the weight of it was under 2kg, shipping would be free. As soon as I saw that I never looked at the site again until I saw people I follow in Tumblr post positive reviews. BuyChina got rid of that free shipping offer, though I hope no one tried it. Free shipping from China for a large order just screams "scam" to me. Do you know of any other good SS?

>>6766526
That's what I was thinking, too. I've seen people leave okay reviews only with delays in shipping which can fall under the fault of the postal service or ordering during holidays/weekends. Let me know how your order goes, if you don't mind c:

>>6766548
Classical Puppets is pretty much the go-to for petticoats on Taobao. But I heard it may take a while to get your order.

>>6766564

I absolutely do not mind, although it's a small shitty order of 4 pieces of jewelry. I thought I'd make a small order first, and if that goes okay then I'd move up to slightly bigger orders.
That and I'm hoping a small package of brand fakes will get past customs easier heuheuheu

>>6766555
>>6766557
>>6766569
haha, well that's a consensus. Thanks, guys! you know what i'm getting.

>>6766564
That sounds pretty dodgy to me haha
Well I've personally only used taobaospree and taobaoring which I've liked using though taobaoring still seem to be having trouble at the moment. My next order I think shall be with Pruany though as they seem pretty good and have very reasonable fees
Check out the SS spreadsheet and see which one fits your needs best, although it's nice to have a cheap SS it's not worth it if you can't communicate easily or they are untrustworthy!

>>6766574
Oh wow, I'm such a moron I should just do that instead. I've even been looking at a few accessories. And I won't really care if I get scammed $10. Thank you, anon!

>>6766619

Tis' nae problem lassie.

>>6766606

Buychina and Yoybuy are a bit different to SS like Taobaospree and Taobaoring. They're a shopping service, but instead of having to paste the links into a shipping/item calculator items are instead translated to English and you just add them to your cart.

Some things are cheaper and some things aren't. I find it overall to be less complicated then using the other kind of SS, but I've yet to receive my first order so I can't comment on their reliability, although I'm confident I'll have a good experience.

>>6766606
Yeah I've used Taobaospree twice and I've heard of Taobaoring but I've yet to try it. I should've checked out the spreadsheet last night when I put my order together. Gosh, I haven't ordered from Taobao in like half a year so I'm kinda rusty but thanks so muh for your help!

a shirt similar to this?

I don't want to bug her on Tumblr, and I figured someone else here might know.

Does anyone know where this sweater is from/what brand it is?

>>6766728
just ask her, she's nice.

Oh god the Buychinafag is back

>BUT TUMBLR SAYS THEYRE GOOD YOU GUYS

>>6766775

Alright, thanks. I Googled around and wanted to check here first.

>>6765935
Doesn't fucking matter are you retarded. Customs have been seizing shit long before this "customs crackdown" which SS's posted about last month.

>>6766019
What is a.m.taobao.coM???

>>6766321
Wow, you sound like a bitch. Someone wants to buy a purebred, so what? I have a purebred cat (Ragdoll), does that make me horrible that I prefer certain cats? It's preference dude, just like I have a preference for the people I date based on appearance. Everyone does. I personally hate Persians, pugs, and the like because of their faces. I bet you think that makes me horrible as well.

>>6766553
>>6766535
>>6766321
>>6766326
I'm not anyone you're quoting, but what the fuck is wrong with any of you? It's not MY fault that there's so many fucking mixed animals out there! So what, people love the look of an animal and want to get one? What the fuck is wrong with that? It's not YOUR money so who the fuck are you to say it's messed up?

The only fucked up thing about pedigrees are MILLS, which in this thread I've only heard about REPUTABLE breeders! Kitty and puppy mills are something completely different, and most purebreds are not from them.

>>6766842
The point is it's really selfish to want to willingly put an animal through so much stress for your own personal gain

Is my tracking ever gonna fucking update from USPS's website? It's said Origin Post is Preparing Shipment for the last 12 days.

>>6766326
When I was about 5, my parents had a Persian cat and he died at 17. He didn't start having problems until around 17, (well obviously all cats get SOME problems around old age), but when he couldn't pee anymore or control where he was peeing, we put him down. Other than that, he had no kidney or liver problems. It was just his bladder that was uncontrollable.

>>6766851
USPS is slow at updating their site (for me anyway). Usually EMS takes forever to change and I usually end up getting the package when it updates anyway

>>6766526
Dude you ARE buying from Taobao fucking dumbshit. BuyChina is an SS just like any other

Browsing taobao tag on tumblr. There's a sn called shittysmallorder.

Fantastic.

I'm gonna make a new thread.

>>6766913
New thread: >>6766916

>>6766330
Did you email them about it yet? I got all my items confirmed and done once I emailed them.

Does anyone know a search term for zentai suits and nylon bodysuits?

>>6763126
Link to arm bracer or whatever you call it?

>>6764955
The only catch is that their physical stores don't have the same selection as their online store. I'd imagine paying a little extra in the prices to get the "free" shipping is still cheaper than the gas spent to get to any of their locations.

>>6766839
I don't think the previous poster was as concerned about vanity as much as your lack of compassion and heart towards non-purebreds. Instead of spending upwards $3,000 on one pet, you could be donating $100 to a shelter that cares for all animals, no matter what breed they are.
