/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I just got my Buychina order in.
I'm very happy with the amount of packaging supplied for my items, sent in a bubblewrap lined packet, the items themselves all in little plastic packets and wrapped individually in bubblewrap and then all wrapped together in a larger sheet of bubblewrap.
It would appear my plan to dodge customs did work, as I suspected they would not inspect a single small packet.
The items themselves are in immaculate condition and the quality of the replica's is fantastic.

I had a few people saying I was going to get scammed, calling me a moron and stuff. Well, maybe Buychina are scammy, but I've personally had a really good experience and will absolutely be placing more orders in the future.

Other Taobao SS are better for larger orders, but if you're like me and only want a few bits and pieces like hats and jewelry then Buychina is cheaper.

Here's my order. The R Series shoes and MC really jacked up the price of the order but I hope it's worth it! I got the heavier items and non-lewd items sent to my family in China so when I visit, I can pick them up.

>>6794623

your still gonna get scammed you idiot, lel

>>6794632

Sauce on that gorgeous little headband up right?

If you want VW stuff, you should try buying secondhand... I was so desperate to sell my Authentic VW orb necklace for extra cash and it just wouldn't sell for months. I priced it way under $200 too. It finally sold for $70 or something. Sage for no taobao contribution. Just a tip though, but I know it's hard to sift through fakes.

>>6794632

Is that... string pantyhose?

>>6794632
link to the skirt and the blouse?

>>6794895
$70 is still way more than you'd pay for a bunch of replica pieces. No thanks.

Chiffonfag here. My order should ship out Monday! So excited!

I keep wanting to make my order bigger but I must...resist...must ship...

>>6794953
Please review the coral blouse in the middle?

>>6794953

Will do. The review will probably be in a taobao thread a week or two from now depending on customs.

I'm seeing these items on eBay and was wondering if tinyeye/reverse image search works on Taobao. I know I can get them cheaper from
TB...

>>6794953

Oh no, please don't sauce any of this. My order is full and crazy and chiffon-y enough already.

Especially don't sauce that skirt in the upper right, or the cream one down and to the left of it, nor that floaty tunic-y shirt just the the left of that either. Definitely not.

>>6794975
She will sauce them, and you will like it anon

>>6794975

Sorry anon, I'm a lace loving sadist. You will feel the chiffon love.

>>6794953
Link to both gloves and the dark green heels?
Your order is lovely, by the way.

>>6794623
why don't you start your own buychina thread and get the fuck out of the taobao thread?

>>6795063

thank you! I've got to run to class but ill give sauce on everything when I get back.

Almost everything is on my way and I'm so excited! The items with the green point already arrived.
I will do a looong and detailed review when everything is here. But till then,does anyone want a link or a short review of the arrived items?

>>6795114

>>6795114
Could you direct me to where you found 178?

>>6795114
I got that redmaria hat too! And if you don't make a huge freaking review I'll be sad because there's a lot of stuff you have I want.

Also, has KL restocked Mozarabic Chant or is it just me? Because I'll have to jump on that in a week or so when I have access to money again.

>>6795114
Links for 47, 58, 115, 176, and 186?

>>6795114
..And here I'm fretting that my next TB order would be too huge and that I'd have to split it in two.

Sauce for items #80-85?

>>6795195

Oh shit, and there's only two left in my size and color.

For once in your goddamn life Bhiner, move quickly!

>>6795114

>>6795114
Where did you get 148?

>>6795210
Oh no! I hope you get it. Try TBS if you're worried? They were super quick for me last time I ordered.

>>6794953
Are you gonna review everything or anything that people ask in the thread?

If only certain things, I'd love review (and links) for the t-strapped shoes and all the gloves.

>>6795114
haha that filename
Where are you gonna do your long detailed review at so I can stalk/bookmark it?
I'm interested in 33, 87, and 178.

>>6795229

Yeah, I put in a listing for Bhiner, but I emailed TBSpree as well just in case. Lets hope one of them gets back to me quickly enough.

And I'm glad I kept the spare cash

>>6795114
Link to 22, 74, and 174?

I debated a long time on whether to get this or not since it's a little expensive for TaoBao and it's the only thing I'd want in the shop, with a flat shipping rate of ￥15, but I decided to get it!

>>6794906
To which are you referring? I got garter+stockings, and then I got tights with the butt showing which comes without the thong. (Fake thigh highs too but I doubt you mean those.)

>>6794915
I'm guessing you mean the skirt to the right of the blouse.

No one cares about buychina, this is a taobao thread. Also, this >>6795089

I'm buying two cosplays from taobao, from the stores CosSky and Cosyoyo.

I've never bought costumes before, I usually throw my own together, so any tips? One is for a male cosplay and one for female, anything different I should do with the measurements for each, besides binding first for my chest measurement for the male costume? I'm also thinking of going 1-2 cm over in my measurements, since I'm paranoid that if they're too small, there's nothing I can do to fix it.

I'm nervous to try this, but excited!

>>6794632
Sauce on elephant bathmat please!

I've been trying to find this belt on ebay, I know I've seen it before but for some reason it's disappeared from my watch lists... I've been searching for like an hour with nothing so maybe it's on taobao

The belt is one of those wide elastic belts, but it has strips of fake leather across the front, held together with metal rings, it comes in gray black and brown I believe, does anyone know what I'm talking about/how I might find it?

>>6795114
>what
Please do review/link 247 when it gets to you.
I think I want your job.

>>6795114
Gonna ask for 33, 65, 82, 86, 201 and 215 (if someone hasn't already askd...) Could you review 96/150 when you get it, please?

I only use tumblr for taobao and I noticed while browsing some of the tags that yoybuy reps are replying everywhere. From glancing at them, it looks like they're attempting to hire more people who speak English to be customer service reps and to spread the word.

Sage since not really important but just an observation.

>>6795114
Links to 115, 123, 124?

>>6794632
could you review the r-series shoes? I want to know if they are worth the price.

>>6795114
sauce on 77, 87, 115, 118 pls

>>6795089

Well considering I started this Taobao thread, I'm going to give you a big, fat no.

>>6796345
No problem. I'll post in a TB thread probably after I wear them for about a week to see how they hold up. I wanted them in red and brown as well but the price definitely was an issue.

The image I posted is actually a combination of orders and the SS already received the shoes. I guess the thing that caught my attention in the pictures was the tread.

It looks like they also gave me some kind of freebie. Maybe a beret? The SS didn't answer my question about it... I'm also not sure if it's from R Series but it seems most likely.

>>6794915
When I was looking through the SS photos, it occurred to me you might be interested in looking at these

>>6796113

The lesson here guys, is to never trust TBR to go completely through on time.

That's before you take into account shipping and ss fees.

But depending on what you buy and where you live, the price difference between shopping here or at the mall is substantial enough to cover it.

>>6796530
Thanks! will really keep an eye on that QB scarf (luckily im still saving up haha)

>>6796526
I feel like Taobao has damaged my brain because now when i see 128 yaun, i think it's expensive! I'm soooo used to buying things around the 50 - 70 yuan mark that something has to be really special for me to spend more.

>tfw £13 is suddenly expensive

Perfect summer accessory

>>6796552
Why did I find it so cute that you typo'd yuan as yaun? I mean, "yaun", it sounds like such a cute word.

Sage for stupid comment

>>6796395
Saw the picture, the redmaria hat really does look lovely! Also, you providing all these links is wonderful for everything but my wallet.

>>6796552

Every fucking time I shop, the price I pay for my regular clothes becomes lower and lower, and then I can never go back from that.

>tfw spring sales are abundant on taobao

Though I can't say much, I just splurged on three lolita items in a row. Wow that hurt my wallet.

>>6796374
Well, uh, that blouse doesn't look as nice as I thought it would be.
I was so close to buying it too, but decided on a DC blouse instead.

>>6796523

Ah, thank you for this. This store also seems to have a lot of skirts pictured in one of the other stores that I couldn't find.

My wallet does not thank you, on the other hand.

>>6796554

I live in Phoenix, this should probably be a mandatory coord item at meet-ups so no one gets heatstroke

>>6796630

Your welcome annon. If it makes you feel any better my wallet is screaming torture as well.

I jumped on that Krad Lanrete red jsk and then, because I'll have to wait for it to arrive, added 8 billion more accessories to my order.

I'm never getting this damn thing shipped out.

>>6796653

I ordered the same KL dress last night too. There were two left in my size, but regardless, we'll be chiffon-y MC twins!

I've added 3 more things to my order in addition, goddamn

>>6796667

Yeah, these threads are like crack to me. Except crack is probably cheaper...

Chiffon-loving-taobao-addict-lolitas of the world unite!

>>6796523
I notice a lot of the stuff in this store (and some of the others) are labeled with something like "Japanese Department of Forestry". Is that a popular mori brand or something? Or is that just the way they say mori?

>>6796653
Can I get a link to these shoes?

>>6796683

I couldn't help myself.

A little advice, if someone would be so kind.

So I saw dress/tunic related (top row) in the store >>6795013 linked and noticed they were having a deal where you can buy one of those dress/tunics along with one of the skirts from the second or third rows and get a really good deal.

I'm thinking I'll get the pale yellow colorway, along with it's pictured underskirt, but since I don't know too much about mori, do you guys think one of the 2nd or 3rd row skirts would match well with the dress/tunic?

It seems like it would be too...busy to me, but I might be totally off on how mori works.

>>6796723

Forgot to mention, I like the green/teal-ish colorway just as well, so I'm game for either.

>>6796729

Agreed and Done.

>>6796750

Only You Can Prevent Itas

Oh yeah, and forest fires. That too.

>>6796723

While they all seem mori-ish, I like the pale yellow one with the pictured underskirt.

It's not that the other skirts are too busy, just the long length seems almost plain and potentially unflattering. I like the layers and asymmetrical hem of the pictured underskirt.

It seems like it would be more figure flattering, showing your slim ankles and reducing some of the bulk that goes along with mori.

>>6796750
Anything you say, Smokey-kun. ;_;

>>6796768

I see your point, I do like the silhouette of the yellow colorway better than the blue/green with the blunt layers now that I look at it.

Thank you for the help!

>>6796769
Better yet, Only You Can Prevent Mori Fires

(mori means forest, right?)

>>6796781

I like it!

>>6796797

I would love for this to be our new Taobao thread pic, or lolita general

>>6796809
Wouldn't it make more sense in a mori thread..?

>>6796679
Babygirl I have never heard of someone turning tricks for taobao. I think you're on the right track.

>>6796824

According to some of the Behind the Bows confessions there seem to be a few people who strip to afford brando, so not impossible I guess?

Speaking of which I need more money for Taobao...

>>6796370
They look promising. Are they made of real leather and wood sole? I'm not sure if google translate got it right.. I'll keep an eye on his thread, I'm really interested in knowing how sturdy and comfortable they are after some usage.

>>6796653

the see through chiffon skirt in black please? and the black flowy dress

Do you guys think a slightly overweight girl (and I am losing weight btw) can wear mori?

Specifically,
>>6796723
The skirts in this post. Not even really to wear mori-style, but just for casual summer wear.

>>6797038
Well, how do you look? You can be overweight and appear to just be a tad chubby

>>6797025

Both are a little pricy in taobao terms. I spent forever debating whether to get them.

See through black chiffon dress: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w17996727761.1.h9iupi&id=19483619350

See through black chiffon skirt: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.59.ygLgl1&id=18394936043

>>6797038

It depends on where you are carrying your weight. If you are slightly overweight and carrying it in your legs, go for it. If the weight is in your upper body, the baggy silhouette is going to make you look even larger. If you are an hourglass, try mori layers with thick waist synching belts to avoid looking like a blob.

As a general rule though, no. Shapeless silhouettes like mori are almost never flattering on overweight people as they tend to add bulk and make you look even larger.

>>6797044
>>6797066
Okay, I just went through google images and tried to find similar-ish body types.
Basically, I'm an hourglass that got fat (original was 34-23-34) so I have medium boobs, big hips and a little bit of waist definition.
I'm thinking wearing the mori skirtts with fitted tops?

>>6797093
I would consider doing some kind of hybrid, keep the bottom and elements mori, but add a blazer or some kind of fitted jacket

Flowy tops will make you look frumpy

>>6797109

This!

Flowy skirts: go for it. They will look fabulous.

Flowy tops with a big bust: avoid. You want something fitted up top to accentuate you're small waist and ample bust.

>>6797109
>>6797122
Thanks guys! Flowy tops definitely do make me look frumpy/like a bag lady.
I'm going to go for it with the mori skirts.

>>6797131
Sage for double posting.
But uh, is it likely my hips will even fit into the skirts? (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0.0.0.LjefIt&id=23167084205 in particular)
It only says waist (50-84) and skirt length (80cm).
Sorry for so many questions

>>6797155
Are you new to buying clothes in general or what? Hip size doesnt matter for a skirt like that

>>6797161
I'm new to being fat, actually.
Haven't you ever seen a skirt be all clingy to the hips/butt and look weird? I'm wondering if this is likely to be a problem with these kinds of skirts.

>>6797169
If your hips are around or under the max waist of the skirt, you shouldn't have a problem? Which if your waist is around or under the bust/hips you mentioned, you should be ok I think (like if your waist is around or under 85 cm).

>>6797169

Hmm, I'm skinny and I have that problem (child bearing hips ftw!) Idk if this is sound advice but I always wear a slip under my thinner skirts. It helps with the clinginess and will make the skirt drape better in general.

>>6797169
No, you'd have to be really fat for that to happen. You're kind of big now, but not so big that you look like a dough monster. Personally I'd nip it in the butt before I got bigger if you aren't already. Don't want that shit to spiral out of control and suddenly you're 300lbs

Thank you guys so much for the advice without the usual /cgl/ knee-jerk reaction of, "Just lose weight."

>>6797177
Trust me, I'm trying! I was put on a medication that ballooned me up, but I've discontinued it and started eating even healthier - I've stopped gaining and really slowing creeping back down.
>>6797176
I never even thought of that but I'll look into buying a few before summer actually starts. Sounds like it might wick away any sweat too which is always a good thing.
>>6797174
I'm a little confused but I think I get the gist of what you're saying - that it shouldn't be a problem.

>>6797185

Ah, ouch about the medication. I know it's really hard to keep the weight down on certain meds. Is it prednisolone? Best of luck with your weight loss.

>>6797203
Nah, it was remeron. Afterwards I looked for studies about why the gain was so drastic and some people gain like 5% or 7% of their body weight in a few months. One journal reported a 16kg weight gain in only five months. Fucking crazy, apparently the body starts turning everything into fat stores as if a famine was coming.

Lookin to buy those VW wing shoes, but I'm worried about them being seized by customs. Does anyone know what I can do aside from asking my SS to remove any tags?

>>6797394
I am too, but fuck if I can find them in a size 9.5/10

>>6797394

I thought customs was only seizing fake designer bags? Has something changed?

>>6797394

Dunno anything else than that, place at bottom of box, and pray to the customs gods.

I'll be praying for you too anon, perhaps we can get a vigil going?

>>6797394
Those seem to be one of the most commonly seized items, actually. I would ask your SS to pack them at the bottom/middle of the box.

>>6794632
Link to hot water bottle and shower curtain? Thanks!

>>6795114
Link to 12, 76, 102 and 103 please?

Customs is taking anything that could be a replica, even if it isn't. Look through the archives if you're interested.

>>6797394

Hey, >>6794623 here.

I was worried about customs seizing my shit but it seems like they don't often search small packages and only go for the large boxes which are likely to be hiding tonnes of stuff.

Your best bet of getting them through? Order them on their own, just the shoes with nothing else. The smaller the package the less conspicuous.

I'm getting ready to make my first order, what do you guys think? I spent a long time working on finding cheaper versions of a lot of the items I wanted, which really lowered the price, but I'm still gonna be paying a bit more than I'd like because I'm buying from so many stores... like 17 different stores. I did get a bunch of items with free shipping deals though. I'm planning on contacting my SS tomorrow!

Sauce on this dress?

>>6797682

Found a similar one here.

>>6797679
I have a rule where if I can buy something on ebay for cheap I wont include it in my order, especially since buying from different shops = more flat rate shipping charges that get piled on

Those elastic rose belts are like $2/$3 on ebay, for example, and that wig headband

>>6797679
Saw those elastic braid things at Ardene's yesterday for 2$.

>Ardene = cheaper Canadian version of Claire's.

>>6797679

A loong time ago someone linked stores with really cute comforters, blankets, and sheets. Does anyone have it? Polite sage for no contribution.

>>6797583
regarding the recent customs crackdown on packages to the US....i REALLY want that damn muchacha ahcahcum cat face purse set but i know the TB ones are replicas and i'm super nervous about it being seized. do i just cave in and get it from ebay ($30 with free shipping) or take a chance and order one by itself so the package is small and less likely to be opened?

>>6797857
I don't think you'll have to worry about it, something like the muchacha bags isn't well-known enough to be a confiscated brand.

So I bought something, and now ems.com.cn says my package left the processing center and was sent to San Francisco some time around 6 AM (US time) on 4/24. On the other hand, USPS's latest update was on 4/23, saying that origin Post is preparing shipment. There have been no updates since then. Is this a normal thing?

>>6797934
USPS is slow as crap to update their tracking

I think I must have missed the trend for this bag but does anyone know where I can find it, or which search terms to try?

>>6796653
Sauce on the vintage-ish purse and headband and both chiffon cardigans please?

Noob here.
I really like this dress http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17882337609&
It's my first time visiting Taobao and holy crack, the price is really about 3USD + free shipping?
How can be dress this cheap?

>>6798634
What the fuck are you talking about? It's like $45, not $3.

>>6798640

>>6796530
do you happen to know any stores similar to this one?
http://manzong.tmall.com/

or does anyone know any?
they don't have merch relating to a series I want

the type that produce original designs based off a series?

>>6798728
Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'll share if I find it cheaper.

>>6798789
(Although, the first link is only black too. I'll look for it in pink!)

Any recommendations for shops that sell large shoes (US 10, UK 8) for classic lolita/otome/mori?

How do you decide whether what you're buying is worth it or if you could possibly get it cheaper in real life?
I mean there are some things that are obvious that I can't find in my country. But some things, like pic related, I'll probably find in real life but not sure if it would be cheaper. For instance, in my pic, it's about $10.

does anyone else ever feel really relieved when something is out of stock? I think I'm retarded but sometimes I need things to be out of stock to stop me fretting over whether I should buy them or not.

>>6798872
Just think of it like real life maybe? Would you buy that if you saw it in a shop for 10 (plus shipping cost)? Or do you mean could you actually get that particular skirt for cheaper here?

Has anyone figured out how to search for "high collar" on a blouse? doll collar, as found in dictionary, gets you lots of nice peterpan collars but they're kind of on-and-off high collar/low collar. Does anyone know how to specify? "high collar" gets me turtle necks unfortunately,

>>6798884
I mean, yeah, do you ever wonder if you could find the exact same thing for cheaper at your local mall?

>>6798889
most of the stuff I'm interested would be massively expensive from my country because how much asian clothing stores tend to charge over here. I think it's best to get things you really like and chuck in a few nice extras even if they may not be all that much cheaper to get from taobao. Maybe? I'm not sure. The shipping wouldn't be that bad on a light little skirt.

Shit, I lost my post. Oh well this is worth it. I pretty much pissed myself thinking this was a shit-stain smear fashion statement but it turns out it is a shadow.

>>6798887
I use 立领衬衣 stand up collar blouse
then go to the women's section

>>6795279

I was thinking the same thing. Don't cook with anything from china. It's not worth the risk.

>>6798947
Yeah...same here. Plus you can buy silicone ones from Japan or the US for like uuh $5 for a set of 3.

>>6798936

>>6797679
Why do people buy clothes like this from China? This is all stuff you can get in Forever21, H&M, JC Penneys, Target, any shop that sells cheap women's clothes, etc.

>>6798898
Thanks anon, I've decided to go ahead and get it! The rest of my order is all stuff I would only be able to get in asian stores that have a 200% markup or not be able to find at all.


>>6798967
I'm the girl upthread asking about stuff like this. When I checked out the websites of stores like the ones you listed, they all wanted almost double (or more) for similar skirts that are half as cute.

>>6798967
I live in a country where f21 shit is at least 15 euros for even the shittiest graphic tee. I ain't paying 19 euros for a cheapass thin blouse when I can get it for at least five euros cheaper including shipping on taobao.

they aren't as cute

This reminds me of my mum. She has a kiniption(sp?) fit if anything food related item I own has a "Made in China" stamp on it.

She lectures me right in front of my boyfriend that I'm trying to kill the both of us with deadly deadly lead.

I know quite a few cooking tools from China are dangerous, but calm your tits mum

>>6799101
>kiniption
conniption?

I'm nobody's mother but I throw a fit when people buy food from China and think it's okay, especially people who are dear/important to me. It's like smoking, you're paying money to kill yourself gradually.

>>6799025
>paying in euros
Eurofag, you sure it's worth it after the customs fees?

>>6799115

>conniption
Ah, so that's how it's spelled

I do understand the danger of stuff from China and I look for utensils/cookware/plates made elsewhere, but I literally own one mug that's made in China and she always tries to sneakily throw it away when she comes to visit.

It's getting harder and harder to find eating related items not made in China though, someday it'll all be...

>>6799119

My stuff usually doesn't get hit by customs. It's not as bad as let's say Denmark or Scandinavia where they seem to have terrible customs. It's one of those things where an inefficient bureaucracy actually works in my favor for once.

>inb4 it actually does

>>6799132
See, there's a difference between "made in china" items sold in the USA, and items straight from china. A huge, huge difference.

>>6799160

Oh, durrrr

Well ignore me then

Hello, it's >>6796723 again, asking for more advice.

As nice as the yellow version is, it looks pretty washed out on the model. And since I'm about the same body type, skin color, and hair color/style as the model I think I'd rather go with the blue/green one. Problem is the store doesn't have very many nice asymmetrical skirts to go under that one.

I've found two that seem like they might work OK, but does anyone have any advice as to which one?

Left bottom skirt: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w17-822930294.54.NfduYo&id=19442971302&

I'm scandinavian and my stuff is still cheaper from taobao even after customs. This country is expensive as fuck.

I'm looking for a shoe like this, but not velvet and just up to the ankle. I've tried some terms from the dictionary but no luck!

This is so true. (Svensk här!)
I can get "normal clothes" or clothes I really like from Taobao for the same price.

Hej sverigekamrat :D

My order just went on like 4200 sek with shipping but for 26 items thats still cheaper than what I would pay for it all in Sweden. (I had dresses that would cost betweeb 300-800 sek in stores in my order)

Does anyone know if antaina will make replicas?
I want to get a pair of the victorian maiden short boots but I'm size 12 US

So what's the deal with using EMS Singapore? That's what taobaoring is doing now for shipments to the US. Are they just not checking packages going through Singapore, or are they more relaxed with checking packages going through Singapore? I'm wondering how much better that is really going to be, and if I should maybe wait a bit to place an order.

>>6799337
Woho, hejsan!

My order was just over 2000 SEK with shipping for about 30 items, mostly smaller stuff and clothes, and two pair of shoes. Yes, it's so much cheaper..

>>6799357
An anon already has gone through it if I remember correctly it should be in the announcement page of the spreadsheet.

>>6799119
Eurofag here who has never bought from Taobao before, but I'm preparing a huge order. What should I expect from Customs? I live in Ireland, if that helps.

>>6799368

If you mean the FAQ spreadsheet, there is just a story from someone getting their package searched by US customs, nothing about Chinese customs.

>>6799354
I have no idea if you can get into it now but there's the Clobbao GO for the SS ones?

>>6799373

Oh hey, I'm >>6799146. My largest package was 6kg, and I've sent over three packages already. None of them were seized. I also haven't heard of anything from customs, even when I specifically asked in a previous thread (the reply was that they also sent over large packages and they never got seized by Irish customs either). I think you're good.

so I'm thinking about buying a really cheap bag, but all the recent transactions shown are from the last 5 days. Seller has 94 positive feedbacks with no negatives.. should I bite? (This will be my first TaoBao order, so I'm still really new to this)

>>6795279
>>6798947

The metal thing seems really obvious, but would that apply to plastics, too? Like the plastic tea strainers and bento boxes?

I am planning to make my first small order from Taobao but need it here within 2 weeks. Is this possible? I'm only ordering from 2 stores. Does anyone have a shopping service they'd recommend for an order like this?

>>6799354
They do, just show them a picture of what you want and they will quote you

>>6799481
If it's cheap, just do it, not a big deal

>>6799517
Probably taobaospree, they seem to be the fastest right now. However two weeks is /really/ pushing it. Say you place the order now, TBS sees it on Monday, places the order, the items arrive in say... 4 days, best case scenario, TBS ships it Monday because of the weekend... and if you use EMS it should take about a week to arrive, and that's if your package isn't held in customs (one time I had an EMS package held in customs for 2 weeks)

>>6799243
Holy CRAP where2cop?
Do you have the link to those ones you posted?

Thanks! I might just risk it and place my order.

>>6799546
Hm.. is there any other place you'd recommend other than Taobaospree? If they're on vacation until the 1st it might be too late by the time I get my order.

>>6799565
It's a national holiday so I think more SS are on vacation.

>>6799567
*most, not more

>>6799373
I'm from England and have never had an issue with customs - I've made 4 orders so far. I was scared at first about customs fees etc but it's all been fine

>>6799373
Irish anon here too. Shipped SAL and haven't had issues yet, but I've experienced customs fees on SAL packages from Japan containing CDs, but don't know if that's related or not. Keep in mind if there is an issue, you pay customs fee AND VAT.

I just grabbed them off of google images, but this is where they're from http://store.costumesofnashua.com/velvet-carnival-calf-boots.html

>>6799643
FTR the brand and model is Bordello Whimsey 115. That's actually a really cheap price for them though, thanks for the link.

>tfw I waited too long to pull the trigger and the two items I wanted a lot went out of stock

It only needed to stay in stock for 2 more days!

FoxCherry hats seem to go oos really fast, I feel your pain.

>>6799694
I learned the hard way. I wanted that hat on the left so bad! It was perfect!

what are some search terms for 1920's styled hats/dresses?

>>6799869
You mean a cloche hat and a flapper dress?

>>6799373
Englishfag. Nearly all my packages get hit with fees, even a few that were marked down enough to avoid customs since they took the shipping into account. Don't know how Ireland does EMS but here it goes through Parcelfarce, who take every opportunity to dick people over.

>>6799882
sure, yep!

>>6799907
Yeah, cloche hat. I'm not sure what the Chinese terms might be for the styles, but keywords like flapper, maybe art deco might work as well since it was big in that same time period.

While we're all chattering about customs fees...

I'm getting my first order in pretty soon and was planning on using EMS or UPS to get my package shipped to the US. Are there customs usually? I don't have much experience getting stuff from other countries.

The package should be about 4-5kg if I've estimated right.

Are there any mini crowns on taobao? I've tried searching "small crown" but I'm having trouble, the term is wayyy too general and I'm not sure how to narrow it down. Help? Pic related, similar to what I want.

>>6799958
Courier services sometimes do (like UPS, DHL, Fedex) but EMS/USPS won't

>>6799404
I saw that but it's closed and they only have smaller sized one for sale

>>6799531
Thanks!

>>6799643
tfw all size six

>>6799903

Irishfag again. EMS goes through AnPost here - they seem pretty lax with their customs fees. I don't know about SAL.

>>6799990

So when you say sometimes, is there a specific factor (or factors) that triggers a customs fee?

Like package size, declared value, weight, items inside, destination, etc...?

>>6799869
Try 英伦复古帽子 It's British retro hat translated. I saw a few that look similar to that time period.

I've had two orders by DHL to the US, the first $800 and the second $500. I've never been hit with fees, and I had everything fully declared with shipping insurance.

>>6800253
To be honest I'm not sure. I myself have never been hit by customs, I've only ever seen people saying they did and it always seems to be with couriers- especially DHL.

I've seen people who ordered only around $100 from Bodyline get hit with customs from DHL; and I've also heard pf people doing couple hundred+ orders from taobao who use Fedex and don't. I'm not sure what the factors are exactly.

>>6800295
Thanks anon!

Whether or not you get hit by customs in the EU/UK has NOTHING to do with how the package is shipped. It's to do with the customs declaration form. If you state the value of the contents as being over £14 you will be charged a percentage fee depending on the type of goods, usually at least 10% but it's higher for things like electronics. Third party companies also occasionally essentially hold your package as a hostage and charge you handling fees etc. If the package is marked as a gift or with a value less than £14 you wont be charged anything. Can people please stop implying it has anything to do with the shipping method or size or weight of the package, it doesn't. All packages from outside the EU are subject to customs/tax charges because they're from outside the EU and all of them are checked (The declaration form is read) when they enter the country.

If you don't want to get customs charges in the EU you need to ask your SS to mark the package as a gift or with a value less than £14, (In the UK, I don't know about the rest of the EU you'll have to check) that's literally all there is to it. Most of them do this automatically though so that's why barely anyone has been charged.

>>6800444
Thanks anon! Those are quite nice, but not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a more gold looking one.

>>6800718
omg, where did you find this

Just got this beauty. Love it.

I don't think I'll be able to resist it

>>6801114
Would you be able to tell me how I'd search up 'plunge neckline' dress? I would radiate love

just saw this shirt for 29 yuan. pretty significant since i recognize it from when yesstyle scalped me for it about 2 or 3 years ago.

anyone know this feel

>>6801480

>>6801058
Too cute.

>>6801480
FUCKING YES. Or how many things I've wanted from romwe for $100 and now found on taobao for like $6. So lucky I'm poor or else I would have been royally ripped off. lol.

>>6799686
>>6799694
tfw got the hat on the right and didn't even know

Has anyone ordered from Jojocos shop on taobao before?
> http://shop73381309.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.w15484617-956956684.1.nQs0wo

I assume its decent from the diamond rating but I want to know before dropping 100$ on it.

>>6801663
I just got my Noiz cosplay from them. It was really accurate to the pictures IMO. Not bad for the price either.

>>6801679
That looks nice. How was the fit?

I'm hoping to order their Yosen sweatpants/jacket and the Psycho-pass inspector coat.

>>6801094
>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19829331401

10 is only the price for the deposit. The real price is 139 yuan.

>>6801373

Don't worry anon, I'm always here. These threads are my drug of choice.

They made it pretty accurate to my measurements. I had another incident with a different seller who fooled around with my inseam so I was a bit worried. But it's a good fit. Nice and comfy.

>>6801114

I am so glad I am not the only loli lurking on baidu.

>>6801565
L-lucky bitch.

>tfw I jelly.

>>6801792
Is it just that one thread? Can you give me a run down on how to look around here?

>>6801728
Awesome. Thank you. I'm so adding them to my next order.

>>6802028
That's one thread. This is the main board I believe:
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=lolita

I only reconize a few words so I translate webpages on Chrome. You get gibberish but you can more or less get the jist of things. I'm only really on there to discover shit no one over here has seen before so I usually stick to the update thread. There's also a general update thread, I would call it, for domestic (Chinese) lolita shops and brand. Shoes, socks recommendations, daily outfits, etc.

Just translate and dive in.

TBR Finally got the last of my order in and now all I have to do is pay! (No idea why it took 2 weeks for them to receive the Galaxy Seikfuku...)

Litttle worried about the winged backpack and getting all the straps to lay straight, but I guess we'll see when I get it.

>>6799373
Another Irishanon here, I've ordered from Taobao and other overseas sites loads of times and I've never even once been hit by customs. I actually only know one person who's ever been gotten customs fees here. We seem to get off a lot more lightly than the rest of Europe. Probably because we're all lazy shites, I dunno.

>>6802189
>ever been gotten
Just ever gotten*, sorry

>>6802183
The bag looks good! Is there any differences between the winged bags being sold in different shops on taobao? I've been planning on getting it as well.

>>6802227
I'm not sure. I bought it from here:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20226184266

And so far it looks pretty good in the pictures. I can always give a review once I receive it if you'd like.

>>6802230
Thanks! And yeah I'd love it if you'd give a review when you get it.

>>6802247
Certainly!

>>6801094
Sorry to bring this back up, but I have the same question. I've been dying to get that Liz Lisa bag. So is this listing a deposit? I've seen stuff like that on taobao but I've never done it before and I don't know how it works.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

>>6802356

Yes. 10 is only the price for the deposit. The total price is 139 yuan.

You pay your shopping service 139 yuan. They contact the store and pay the 10 yuan deposit first and the rest of the amount whenever it is due to the seller. The bag will take about a month or so to make, at least according to my SS.

Bhiner sent me photos of this ones I bought a bunch
What is marked with purple are things for me.

What colour should I get these in? I think the mint version is the cutest but the majority of my wardrobe is pretty dark so I'd have nothing to wear them with.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one buying stickers. Oh wait you're buying coffee spoons, a shirt and some relax bears. Well, I'm an ass.

Link to the floral dress on the top right?

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

>>6795114

Link to 146, please?

Hey do taobaoers here use the taobao cart system or copy the things they want into notepad or something? I just realised the cart only let's you add 50 items.

>>6803477
What are you talking about?

>>6803487
Sorry, I'm hungover. I'm used to ordering online so I was using the taobao cart to test if things were in stock or not and make a list. I just realised that it's limited to 50 items and it suddenly hit me that I don't know how people keep track of what they want to order. Do you guys keep a document full of the URLS or what?
