/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm looking for thigh high socks similar to these ones, but I'm having a tonne of trouble~
Does anyone know a good sock store on Taobao?

Here's my order as it stands. Looking to place it some time next week.
Im stuck in a cycle of adding things to make it bigger and then taking them out 5 minutes later, but I think I'm done for now.

Left side is stuff for me, Right side is stuff for my friend.

Sorry I'm so bad at collages.

>>6871974
Just buy some thigh highs, fabric paint, and a sponge or stencil, put the socks on something(if you do it flat the stars will warp and crack when you put them on), and paint those stars on.

Bumping because I'm super sad and want to see if any other elegant ott lolita type stores exist.

Can I still order pic related or did I miss the reservation?

>>6872206
Yeah, you missed it. However, keep an eye open since they might have extra stock or do another round after they get the preorders out. The whole shop seems to be pretty much closed.

My order has finally arrived! Yaaaaaaay! The shoes from Anna Shoes/Seasons are not quite on par with Secret Shop, though they ship in the same box. The material is a bit thinner. Otherwise, they're very nice quality. A few minor flaws here and there (mostly a bit of glue showing from under the insole, some crooked stitching at points). But nothing glaring that shows up when worn.

Got to dig through and look at everything else. But this was my order. Let me know if anyone wants reviews of specific items on there. Still waiting on the Krad dress, btw. It's just sitting there by its lonesome in my orders list.

>>6872416
How is the chest bag?

Also how is the coloring on the Alpaca wig? Pics would be awesome if possible.

>>6872104
Link to the two wigs on the bottom please?

>>6872466
Chest bag is really great. It has a little zipper pochette/folder inside that attaches at each side with snaps, as well as a few interior pockets for your mobile phone, etc.

I'll put the wig on my list of photos to take. Just right off, it seems quite a bit more honey blonde rather than the strawberry blonde in the stock photo.

>>6872480
And I realised now that I uploaded the wrong collage by not reading the file name in full. This was the final order before international shipping.

Do any of you happen to know the seller for the wigs like the one I posted? (I believe that the pictures of the head with the chinstrap with a heart are from the same brand, but I can't find it :()

Order came in yesterday!
Woohoo
It shipped via SAL May 17th and came in May 27th

>>6872513
How are all those blouses (especially the bottom one)?

>>6872488
Is that milk bag a replica? How is the quality?

>>6872508
l-email has this wig.

>>6872513
I love all of this! So envious at all your haul

I'll put up a full review with pictures tomorrow. Everything hurts too much to move around right now.
Oh by the way, STAY AWAY FROM THE BJD TIGHTS they are hilariously fucked up.

>>6872518
Yup, it's actually pretty nice but the inside material is a little weird feeling and may rip easily. But the outside is totally sturdy and really cute. Fits a whole lot in it.

>>6872515
I wouldn't really recommend any of these blouses, but they aren't bad either. Basically it's the same quality that you'd find at F21 but for a lot cheaper (The bottom one).
I was disappointed with the DC blouse. It wasn't as fabulous as everyone said it would be but then again, it appears that I just don't like blouses that much in general. They always fit weirdly no matter the tailoring or size or style.

>>6872546
Thanks! c: My favourite piece is the laser cat shirt!

>>6872488
Man you are going to have to review everything. Everything from artka and the galaxy dress especially.

>>6872518
It is, yes. I got one white and one red. The summary here >>6872558 is quite accurate. They arrived squashed to shit, but they bounced back after I crammed some newspaper inside and let them rest for an hour or so. They're ENORMOUS.

>>6872599
The Artka items are divine. The quality of the materials especially. One of the pieces I got is a wool blend and so ridiculously warm and cozy. I'm also in love with the thumb-hole sleeves on two of the tops I got. The red dress with the swag/twist in front is incredibly thin, so I'm not sure what to do with that yet. The other items, I've already got several outfits planned.

As for the Magie Astres dress from Dark Box, it's nice, but has some odd details. The dress was listed as 100% polyester (which is fine; it's the only way to get rich colours with digital prints), but the weave makes it feel incredibly soft and light. I've got to try some different petticoats to see which will work best with it.

The weird part about it was the sizing and the lining. Sizing wise, I ordered an L for me (for the bodice length) and an M for a friend. The measurements on the chart are pretty wide between the two and I was very easily below the size L measurements. However, they do not take underbust or torso length into account. Because of this, when I put it on, it pulls up into a babydoll cut. It's still knee length, so I'm guessing that they only added length to the skirt portion, not the bodice? The overdress hides that fact, but I'm still a bit bothered that they increased the size of the JSK width-wise, but not length-wise. Had I know that would be the case, I would have ordered a custom-fitted one for a nicer fit.

As for the lining, it's organdy or a stiff chiffon. I'm not sure why they chose that material, but it caused me to raise an eyebrow as I tried it on.

>>6872513
Link to the map heart bag?

>>6872488
Link to dem kawaii brown boots?

>>6872803
Sadly, they're sold out. They disappeared not long after I placed my order for them. Artka has a other styles that are pretty cute, though:

http://artka.taobao.com/search.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w3-18395707460.14.knZIhT&search=y&scid=513160807&viewType=grid&orderType=_hotsell&scene=taobao_shop

>>6872558
my bjd tights turned out fine

>>6872513
Can you review the wallet and the white cat shirt? And also, links for the wallet, the shirt and the bottom white blouse?

Can someone please help me finding search terms, and or the items for Howls near ending cosplay? Im having trouble searching male high waisted pants and poofy white shirt.

>>6872777
Measurements for size L:
Bust: 94cm, Waist: 74cm, Width: 34cm, Skirt Length: 93cm

My measurements (just taken):
Bust: 88cm, Waist: 72cm

And this is what it looks like worn. The waist pulls up to my ribcage and barely, barely zips as a result. Not the worst thing I've worn, but it makes me look twice as big as I actually am. Probably going to solve the problem by wearing the dress with either an AatP or AtPi style cincher or waistcoat to shift the silhouette away from my boobs.

I'm quite disappointed, because it's a gorgeous dress otherwise. I would have gotten it custom fitted had I known the bodice was going to look like this.

>>6872945
I know this is a taobao thread but that shirt is possibly the easiest thing to sew that I can think of. You can literally do it with just rectangles.

What's the most reliable taobao store to get a dress made from scratch for large sizes (And I mean really big)

A guy friend of mine gave me the odd request to help him find a pink custom made lolita dress because he doesn't want to be Ita. I don't think he'll be wearing it outside.

Tried Boguta but apparently his size is way too big for them to even attempt custom.

He's like 120cm bust (With water bra) and 110cm waist or something similar

>>6872964
HMHM. I once had a girl in a group order whose bust was 125cm and whose waist was nearly 120cm. They double-checked every measurement before beginning, down to bodice length.

They charged a considerable amount more than usual (150RMB extra, roughly double the cost of her blouse), but she was really happy with the result.

>>6872970
Ah awesome thank you, I was a bit wary of them because of some shopping services turning HMHM away, but I've never had a bad experience with them

First time using taobaoring and I'm already getting impatient since yoybuy was always so fast with confirming orders..it's going to be a long couple of days.

>>6872513

Review of laser cat t-shirt please?

>>6872975
Just email them...

>>6872513
Link to the heart bag with the map on it?

This is what my shopping cart looks like right now, but i'm not done yet adding stuff. Cause I also want a new kigurumi (I have one at my parents house and it is really great for when i'm cold, so I want one at my own place too ^^)

>>6873014

Sorry just saw that you're going to do pic reviews. I look forward to it!

>>6873033
THE DRESS WITH THE SQUIRREL PLEASE

>>6872777
>>6872947
And I just got through checking off every item from my order. I'm missing three items from Artka that they definitely sent me photos of. Well, fuck. Time to see if they held those back or sent them to someone else by mistake. The number for the order wasn't written on either box.

>>6873033
I feel like an idiot for not knowing but it's almost 3am and I've had little sleep... but can you link me to the Sailor OP?

>>6873166

Here you go, now go get some sleep you little shopping addict.

>>6872416
where did you buy the catgirl stockings from anon? ty

>>6873297
This shop:
http://polo2club.taobao.com/

Okay, perhaps this is a stupid question, but I just placed my first order through TaobaoNow and sent the first payment.
I want to leave a comment confirming that I sent the payment but the admin comment says, "Please help us and do not put anything in the payment comment, and let us know when the payment is done. Thanks! ^_^"
I really don't get it. Am I not supposed to comment regarding the payment?

>>6873403
Use PayPal? They don't want comments in their PayPal payment thing.

>>6873415
Ohh, okay that makes sense. Wow, I'm dumb. Thanks anon.

http://amash.taobao.com/
Some vintage store.

>>6872975
They only need long when the shops don't respond since they always ask first if things are in stock, my orders always get confirmed within few hours.

Is there any taobao store that sells good kigurumis? I've seen a link posted in a Taobao thread but i lost it.

>>6873033
link to the bottom right sailor dress? that is just adorable

>>6873482
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15120395804

Here you go, they also have it in other colorways.

>>6873488
thankyou!

Ugh, it's been a month now and all I'm waiting on for my order is a $2 phone case and a $7 pair of shorts

It's driving me insane, everything else arrived at my SS weeks and weeks ago. What the hell is taking so long?

>>6873578
What kind of shipping did you get? If you got SAL and it got stuck in customs or something, that could explain it.

>>6873578
Whoops, stupid me for not reading the full post. Maybe they had to be custom made? Have you tried asking your SS?

Anyone saw this print on taobao? I only found the voting fot colorways from last year but nothing else.

>>6873596
Yeah, that's possible. My SS did give me warnings about other items that did have to be custom made (telling me before I finished my order that there'd be a wait), and I opted out of them to save time. They might've forgotten or not been as courteous on those two, though.

I'll try waiting til the end of this week and then if they still aren't here, I'll ask or maybe even remove them from my order... They're both cute, but I don't know that I feel a pair of shorts and a phone case is worth all the extra wait-time.

>>6872416
i loooovvveee your order!! could you post some photos of the chest bag?

>>6872416

Hnnnnggg all dat gorgeous artka stuff!

>>6872513
could you review both tights please

Apparently Romwe buys their stuff from taobao, anyone know where this dress comes from?

romwe.com/retro-lapel-neck-black-dress-p-36313.html?SASSource=shareasale

Got nowhere with google image search, another website sells this dress and called it 'Andrastea Dress' but that's as far as I got with my research as that didn't lead anywhere.

Wow, my SAL package was shipped on the 24th and it's already in NY

I was not expecting it to be so fast, last time it took like a month to arrive

>>6874011
I'd like to know where/how to find Romwe-type fashion. What is it even called in Chinese?

>>6874011
try something like "nun dress"

>>6872470
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18454046237

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20141748727

>>6874372
No luck as I did several search terms beforehand on taobao (e.g collar dress) including this one.

>>6872975
Urgh me too, a couple of my items are nearly sold out so the wait is nervewracking.

>>6873136
And they've been found. They apparently got set aside and didn't end up in the boxes. So they're going to send it with my Krad dress when it gets completed. Which is fair enough.

Off to take some photos now. Of the wig and treasure chest purse particularly. Any other requests for items from >>6872488 while I'm at it?

>>6874295
It don't got a name, they just sell everything that is at the first pages of the women's section when you chose 'sort by popularity'.

My friend is cosplaying a character that requires a short white lacefront wig. Does anyone know of any Taobao stores that sell lace front wigs? Any terms that could help would even be appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone know what I'd type in to find a pair of creepers?

>>6875319
Just buy one off arda, the one store I know of that sells lacefront wigs is around 300 yuan for most wigs anyhow.

>>6874011
I have been laughing my arse off whenever I find a 90 dollar pair of romwe tights for 4 dollars on taobao. ALL of their stuff is from taobao, including those cute torn floral sweaters.

>>6876003
Which tights link please to the taobaopage

>>6876003
Before I found out taobao was even a thing I bought a sweater off romwe, luckily it wasn't too expensive and it was on sale. So do they just buy the taobao thing, sew their tag on, triple the price and call it theirs? Jesus christ. I feel bad for anyone who shops at romwe now. And I know a lot of people who do.

>>6873033
Where are you anons getting all the really cute lingerie? I'm searching around for some but no luck..

>>6874011
>romwe.com/retro-lapel-neck-black-dress-p-36313.html?SASSource=shareasale
SMH for Romwe, bought this dress ages ago before I figured out where they got their shot, and it's shitty material plus the black dye turned the white accents grey.

>>6875265
>it don't got

It hasn't got a name, you fucking retard.

>>6876078
I feel pretty lucky that when I discovered romwe I was too poor to afford their goods because I love that junk.

>>6876114
Ah, thank you for catching people talking funny on the internet! It would have all gone to shit from there.

>>6876087
Everything in there is from http://misskkmagic.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1000126.3.xaqkk5

They carry larger sizes then for example http://pinkyqueen.taobao.com/

Just note that a size B in europe is a size C in China. Before I knew that I was like '"Fuck yes, so many bra's that are in my size'' then I found out a Chinese B is an Europese A......

>>6876118

You're black, right? Only a black person could be so cocky and arrogant only their dumbing down of the English language.

Fact is, your retarded, backwards way of speaking is creeping into real life. Why? Because people see your typing like a fucking retard on the internet and think that's actually the correct way.

Fuck, I need to get out of London. You guys (blacks and would-be blacks) are doing my head in.

Hey guys, I have a fake socks related question!
I really want to get some that have a ribbed top to the sock and not just a smooth continuation of the sock to stocking like I've seen in some photos. The problem is, in some listings, the seller shows photos of both! Can anyone link me to a listing that they've bought from that is definitely rib topped socks?

>>6876144
I am not the poster who you were correcting and no, I'm not black. If I'm "cocky and arrogant" for laughing at your anal pendantry and superior attitude then we are two of a kind.
Except, I'm not a inbred xenophobe who shrieks at people for using ebonics on the internet, I'm someone who posts on 4chan and browses taobao and laughs at you. Eat shit.

>>6875911
they are SUPER popular right now. Type in Vivi (as in the Japanese magazine) and you'll find a ton.
http://trade.taobao.com/trade/detail/trade_snap.htm?spm=0.0.0.0.YTJccn&trade_id=259505710105568

I just bought these. They smelled heavily of glue and paint, and they were very squeaky but that went away after airing them out and wearing them out once.

As for quality, they material isn't as good as Demonia creepers, but for that price, they are excellent!

>>6876198

You may not be black, but you're attitude stinks of one.

Nah, i'm not inbred. That's for those upper class twats. I'm just a working class girl who's tired of seeing her city destroyed from the inside out. It's quite sad listening to my grandparent's stories of London pre- mass immigration of scum. Y'know, back when people cared for each other. When there was an actual community and there was respect for your fellow human beings. Yes, it sucked to be a woman or gay in that time, but has that really changed with the influx of Muslims?

Blacks and middle east fucks have destroyed our society. I realised that when I on holiday up North. No blacks, no paki bastards. Just us British, hard working East Europeans and some hilarious german tourists.

But you know what's funny? I hate the EDL. You probably think i'm some retarded UKIP voter. In actual fact, i'm very liberal. I consider myself a feminist, and the whole shit storm over gay marriage pisses me off (lesbo here).

Also, have you heard of 'Multicultural London English'? It's an ebonic accent, and the people with that accent sound fucking retarded. There's a reason employers discriminate against people with the accent, and that's because people with that accent either sound like idiots, or scum.

Cry more, SJW.

>>6876228

FFS, *your.

>>6876228
What the fuck are you even on about m8

>>6876228
how is this relevant to anything in this thread

>>6876228
Ok, you're a feminist, working class, liberal lesbian white supremacist?
Surely, through the discrimination you face as a working class lesbian you know what leads people from low socio-economic homes to become coarse and unemployable. Or are you just that much of a fucking baby that because they are a different kind of oppressed working class who look and sound different to you that you think they are bad and ruining your country?

I don't hate you because I know you've had it fucking tough, but I wish you'd see how base and childish racism is.

Getting back on the topic of Taobao, I've been searching for h.Naoto Gramm style clothing (gothic fairy tale like) but can't seem to find anything. Has anyone come across any stores that sell gothic lace grandma clothing?

>>6876260
I loooove that stuff. Are you looking for replicas or just similar stuff? I'm very interested in either

>>6876261
I'm looking for clothing & accessories in this style

>>6876263
If I find any I will post. I would name my children "gothic lace grandma clothing" because of how much I like that style.

>>6876260
punkrave.taobao.com first came to mind, but it looks like their summer stuff isn't too lace grandma like but maybe you can use keywords from their item titles?

>>6876260

try artka?

Should elaborate:

Don't you dare compare my suffering to that of them fuckers. They're causing half my suffering. As a white, female lesbian I deserve to be killed, in their eyes.

They are not oppressed. They are the privileged ones in 21st century Britain. They can get away with shit because they're fucking black or a muslim.

They are the minority, yet turn on the news, and what do you see? It's them causing the troubles in society.

Their cultures are vile, but call them out on it and it's racism. Never mind the fact they want me dead because i'm gay, that's their culture/religion.

No, never mind the fact a group of black bitches drove me to attempted suicide because I was white, I was asking for it, according to my school. Black people couldn't possibly be racist, according to my school.

Don't dare tell me i'm racist for hating these people. They have made my lives hell simply by been their typical selves. Their default setting is a racist, evil bastard to.

Stop. This is a Taobao thread. I care about Taobao (and people's shopping addictions to this site) not your problems.

Has anyone ordered from Classical Puppet recently? My SS ordered on March 27th and apparently, it still hasn't arrived yet... They aren't answering their emails either?

>>6871795
I'm thinking about going with taobaonow, have any of you guys had good, non-credit-card-stealing experiences with them?

I made an order with CD on 5/9/13. The CP petti (and everything else minus a preorder) went to the warehouse by 5/17/13.

I don't know what's up. SS sent an email on the 14th, CP said it would come in a week, and now still nothing.

>>6877071

My petti took a month to come. I made the order March 3rd, the petti came beginning of April. Sometimes it can take a while, especially with custom shops.

>>6877077
I heard CP takes long, but it's nearing 2.5 months now so I'm getting a tad worried...

>>6877071
As other anon said, it depends on the shop. Sometimes it takes forever and sometimes it's really fast. I'm guessing I'm one of the luckier ones where CP was making some pettis when I happen to order.

what chinese keywords should i use to look up monster hunter goods?

Anyone having any issues with Pruany lately?

>>6877161
I have an order with them now and I haven't had any trouble. What's up?

>>6877237

Made a big order, paid, and its been three days and they haven't purchased anything yet...which is bad because some of the items are ordered include stock = 1

Any holidays I should be aware of?

They're great! I have a friend who loves cats and teaches art history, so I think she'd love to have these in her office/purse. I've been trying to think of a gift for her recently and failing miserably, but these are a step in the right direction. haha

Thank you~

>>6877822
those models creep me out.

>>6876334
I just saw that. I want to have it so bad but I just know I'll fail at coordinating it.

Okay. After searching for hours in vain, can anyone help me figure out the search term or a shop that sells heel-less shoes / gravity heels on taobao?

Will you be so kind to share the links to the denim jumper dress?

>>6878525
I'd kill myself in them but I'd look so good doing it.

>>6877904
Can you link the shirt with anchors on it in the middle? I was gonna buy it off ebay but I can't find it anywhere now. Thanks!

My cosplay items and petticoat arrived at TBS now!

The Yuru yuri cosplay looks liek it will ebr eally nice. The wig is seem to be hella long though! I was supposed to be 60cm, it looks like it is 100cm, so I will have to cut it

>>6877243
Do the items in your cart say without payment?
And there haven't been any announcements on pruany's site about holidays or anything so I doubt it.

>>6878111
I'm in Australia too, ironically. That's a lot of cash! (Worth it though.) I hope I have funds like that to blow on taobao one day. ~

>>6878813
That Elmo looking hoodie looks the way that I feel right now. What's that cute looking little sailor blousey thing?

>>6878893
Yeah, it will be hard to chop up that Elmo kigurumi when I get it because of the yes...

The sailor thingy is my Yuru Yuri cosplay, pic related

>>6877904
Can i have the link for the light brown shoes please?

>>6878887
I'm not that anon but I've heard that it's best to wait for Pruany to contact you and then you pay. Is that wrong? I'm doing by first order with them and I haven't paid yet thinking they'll contact me.

>>6877822
None of those blouses fit me....I need blouses that fit a 39cm shoulders...

Has anyone seen this idiot who is upset that she didn't do enough research and paid expensive EMS shipping for 1 heavy bag?

Yup. Noob mistakes.

>>6879056
Are you also tall? I've alot of problems with tight also...

>>6879060
Can we get a review on the wig later?

>>6879113
> So this Lolita Handbag costed me 85$USD. Friggin 85$USD. Just because the EMS shipping was so high. This is a warning for those ordering from this shop. I don’t think I will ever order again from TaobaoSpree nor No.99 Mask.

I was even more surprised to see this person seemingly blaming EMS costs on the TaoBao shop itself.

>>6879207

Makes me feel better about paying 87 USD for my order. At least it was spread over 12 items, six of them lolita items, and one of them a purse.

I just want my stuff quickly before I go home for the summer.

Hey everyone! I've seen quite a few people asking about swimsuit sizing so I thought I'd post the ones I'm going to receive today (or tomorrow cuz my mailman hates me). I've only ordered one swimsuit before and I got it in L. It was a closure in the back instead of a tie, so it was pretty tight. I was between a 32C-D at the time. I'm a 32D now, so I ordered these in XL! Hope they fit.

The rest of my order is stuff for cosplay, and my friend's swimsuits. So pic related are the swimsuits I ordered and some slippers for summer!

>>6879113
She's so dumb and angry it's hurting me. Why would you not look into these things? How could you not be cautious (and read things??).

Oh god, I have a problem. I'm trying to decide between auction stalking for brand, or more Taobao dresses/petticoats.

Dear god I need a job.

What kinds of stuff do you guys think I could purchase from taobao cheap/in bulk and resell fairly well on ebay or storeenvy? I already bought a bunch of tumblrcore shit (galaxy print, cross motif, nugoth accessories, chiffon dresses etc) but I really want to expand my horizons. Any ideas that are popular in a niche market? I'm terribly uncreative.

>>6879730
Pink Savior and Unicorn's Shop Stuff, that roses+studs shit sells like hot pancakes in these days where Yeha becomes more and more expensive, special chokers, cuffs and garters that suit Cult Party as well.

>>6879801
I'm in her comm and I can safely say she's never made a taobao order on her own.

Has anyone bought false eyelashes from taobao? If so, how's your overall opinion about them?

>>6879958
I got some Dolly Wink lashes from a shop. Not sure if they were actually legit, but the packaging and style of the lashes matches up with a definitely legit pair I owned (specifically got the same style to make sure they lined up). They're pretty much what you'd expect.

The glue, though. Fuck that. I put a tiny drop on my hand to test before applying it to my eyes, and it actually tingled/burned.

>>6879958
Yeah. I've gotten the plastic kinds that have weird shapes like peacocks and they're cool.

I've also bought those huge packs and the eyelashes are fine.

But as other anon said, I never used the glues from them. They made the back of my hand reddish.

>>6879962
>>6879964
Ahhh, I see, thank you two so much! I want to get some but I was a bit scared of doing it, thanks again!

>>6879962
Do you remember which shop it is? Actually, can everyone rec me shops or pairs? I have a few (a lot) bookmarked but I haven't order lashes from Taobao yet. My sister decimated my stash so I'm looking to restock over the summer.

>>6879964
any chance you've got a link to some of the funky shaped lashes? the ones on ebay are just way too expensive for what they are...

>>6880080
The ones I bought are from this store:
http://shop35639967.taobao.com/

>>6872513
Map-bag anon, link onegai?

>>6879730
If you're doing that and then avoiding customs while reselling pretty sure that's illegal and you will have to think about taxes from your profits too.

>>6874011
Ok annoyingly enough I found the exact same shaped dress on taobao but it was a completely different colour they have on their site (some funky blue one with floral embroidery?) and going through their shops didn't find the black dress so I may give up for that particular dress (plus I can return it if it doesn't fit).

Is anyone here from the UK who can share any experience they've had with Taobao?

>>6880196
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFheq8ic1H8

>>6880196
Everyone's experience on Taobao itself is the same.

The only thing you need to be concerned over is your federal postal system.

>>6880263
Yes I know.
That's why I'm asking about the UK?

Revenue and Customs and Royal Mail website are not helpful.

>>6880352
I think you can have items up to the value of £40 if marked as a gift not charged through customs, if not as a gift it's £15. Above this and you get charged 20% for VAT, you get some annoying postage handling charge (£8 for normal postage, £13.50 if you chose express like EMS). At a certain price over £100 you get charged customs duty as well, which is probably a rate of 12%. Btw this was written from memory so could be out of date but I'm honestly not sure about the customs duty as I think 12% refers to clothing as a guess but other stuff could be different (so maybe just estimate 20%). Probably best to risk it getting the value marked lower with customs as UK customs always seem to check, however I've bought CD box sets that haven't been marked as gifts that are worth more than £15 and wasn't charged customs, haven't figured out why. Always assume customs will charge you though.

>>6880188
I have no idea what you're trying to say, could you reword that? I'm sending my items through customs when I purchase them, aren't I? So how would that be illegal?

>>6880378
What I meant is that if you purposely got the value on the customs form lowered to avoid the extra fees when importing items, that would be illegal. Don't know the consequences if you're caught.

Taxes would be too complicated to explain as I don't know much about it and I may not live in your country (cba to check if you posted where you live) but you can't just resell stuff and not pay tax on your profits (you may need to meet a threshold though before you pay tax, or may have to reclaim).

>>6880365
For an order of £50 and 100 how much would you expect to pay?

>>6880391
I never ask my SS to mark my items down, and I'm also careful to never intentionally purchase knock-offs, electronics, makeup, or other things that might not be kosher.

As for the taxes, my dad is a CPA, so I'll ask him what the situation with that is. Thanks for the heads up though!

>>6880396
Dunno, work it out yourself you lazy fuck.

So I'm a little confused, the SS spreadsheet says that you can combine orders with Taobaoring after the first payment (item costs) but before the second one (shipping), but on the TBR order form, it says "You can split items to mulitple parcels or combine orders to one parcel to save international shipping fee, just leave message before first payment." Can I only combine before the first payment, or can I do it any time before I pay for shipping?

>>6880571
I suppose I may as well include my order--I was in a rush to get the MC skirt and Surfacespell blouse before they went out of stock so I went ahead and paid, but I'm also planning to get some accessories and stuff and wanted to ship them together.

Does anyone know of shops similar to this that have cute/retro-y styled normal clothes for really cheap?

http://catworld.taobao.com/

I love this shop but they always sell out so fast of the things I want ;_;

Picture related.

>>6880817

If you click the women's section on taobao and scroll down to styles, there's a style called 'Sen Female' per google translate. Go there. There will be a lot of things in that vein of style.

>>6879253
Link for the shoes?

Does anyone know if SAL does a "Small Packet" equivalent like airmail does and if any SS supports it?

I know I can buy a couple of small accessories and pay like $7 shipping with airmail small packet; but I was wondering if SAL had an even cheaper way per 100g?

>>6880825

Thanks!

Bhiner is really getting on my nerves, everything in my order arrived 4 or 5 days ago and I still don't have an invoice for my second payment, despite having messaged them a couple of days ago.
Is it worth switching to a more reliable service and having to pay more in service fees? I'm torn because bhiner's fees are only 5% and that makes things really affordable for large orders.

>>6880877

I would, I've found that Bhiner is more expensive for large orders depending on how much they weigh because they don't do SAL.

>>6880882
I usually order lots of chiffon and light clothes, so the weight isn't an issue, but I did want to try a service with SAL because shipping always comes to about £40 for me

>>6880825
sen female is google's engrish for mori girl.
森女 = lit. forest girl

>>6880895

I like mori girl-ish stuff, but I always find shops where it has a lot of really baggy clothes and I don't like that part of it. I wish there was a specific term for the style I like, the closest I've found is something called "grandma style" and "grandpa style" but I only saw one article about it in a Japanese magazine.

Basically how the girl in a lot of this website dresses exactly:

http://miclam79.blogbus.com/

I'm pretty sure she's a model for some Taobao shop but I can't figure out which one.

>>6880901
Have you checked mumuhome? they have alot of non-baggy mori stuff

I'm looking for a kotatsu or just a low table with a removable tabletop. I like the design of having the blanket with the table and then the hard tabletop, but I don't need the heater that usually comes with them. Any suggestions on where to look for something like that?

I paid for an order last night from Bhiner since they were still active at the time. When I was done paying I checked the order page and my order isnt there....? I got the usual email that I paid for my order though. Checked now and they still havent updated my order page. Has this ever happened to anybody?

I just combined four orders with TBR two days ago. They had no problem combining basically 3 full orders and a partial order (basically, everything that came in because I am an impatient person) and even changed the address.

While we're on the topic, they really fucked up my address when they shipped it out. Wrong area code, basically. Should I contact my post office about this?

>>6881691

Oh, and I should add that I did combine the three and a half orders right before I paid shipping. They reweighed the order after I asked them to combine all four.

taobao newfag here.

I've tried placing an order with 3 different taobao agencies over the past week and none of them seem to want to confirm my order. Other agencies seem to just want me to email/wire them money immediately without even confirming anything.

What is a taobao shopping service that is actually reliable, attentive and expedient?

>>6881702
See pic. In addition, check the spreadsheet.

>>6881706
The spreadsheet doesn't say jack other than bare statistics on rates and shipping fees. Doesn't answer my question.

>>6881719
If you take 5 seconds to read you'd see that there's a huge list of who to not purchase from.

>>6881721
That still doesn't answer my question.

http://egl.livejournal.com/19244387.html?thread=434390371#t434390371
>I've given up trying to use those taobao specific shopping services :c. They never let you know the shipping cost before you commit to buying the item
>they never let you know the shipping cost before you commit to buying the item

Just, shoot me, please

>>6881728
Woooooowwwwww they're fucking dumb. This has to be a troll post no one can be this stupid.

>>6881732
they're probably just too stupid to check the weight of the items or ask about it beforehand.

>>6881727
You want to know a reliable service, which are the services listed in the spreadsheet. Spreadsheet anon will either remove unreliable services or put a note about them in there. Same goes for the FAQ.

Check through the archives and such for reviews on specific services.

>>6881702
TBR confirms your order before the first payment. I believe TBS and Bhiner does too.

>>6881706
Don't be a dick. The spreadsheet doesn't say jack about whether an SS confirms the items before or not. That's exactly what this anon was asking and telling them to check the spreadsheet won't help or solve this issue when it's not available information.

keywords to look up monster hunter goods? direct chinese translation ddn't give me anything relevant....

>>6881702
Why do you want things so badly confirmed anyway? I like yoybuy cuz I don't have to wait for that crap. The worst that happens is they refund you, and you put that money towards shipping. They, and other services also usually ask if you want to order something else or a different color if something is out of stock. I guess I don't see what the big deal is. I've lost out on a lot of items from waiting on confirmation.

>>6881860
Not that anon, but I could see for example if you were buying a main piece and then a bunch of accessories to go with it (and maybe some other small things), but the main piece turned out to be sold out, there'd be no point to having bought all the little accessories for it. So you'd want to make sure first.

>>6881691
>>6881694
That's good to know, thanks! (I'm the anon who was asking above)

Since I haven't heard about this in a while, is customs still confiscating replicas at the pace they were before or has it slowed down recently? Has anyone ordered and replicas and got them?

>>6882033
back to normal from what I've seen

>>6882033
Another question: how can customs tell if something is a replica? I understand some knock off are obvious but is it because the return address on the package is a shopping service? What if someone in China is shipping an authentic brand piece; how does customs know?

>>6876204
Creeper shoe update! After a week of heavy wear the left sole is beginning to detach from the upper shoe. This has happened to 2 pairs of Demonia shoes, but it didn't occur until a year or more of year.

Though the right sole is still firmly attached, be aware that they are not the most sturdy shoes, which is reflected in the price.

>>6882080
They have a list with the brand logos and their specific measurements, if the product got a logo with different measurements, misplacements or spelling errors, it gets destroyed.

>>6882080
Well... a box full of "branded goods", coming from China which is the counterfeit capital of the world, value marked low... It's not exactly rocket science to assume that most of what is leaving China are fakes.
But I suspect in the recent crackdown, customs officers were also just taking stuff they liked out, I know some anon lost a couple Chinese-brand lolita dresses.

>>6882692
This is so sad. I live in China and we have real LizLisa and Swimmer stores here, but I'm afraid to open a shopping service because of all the fakes...

Maybe a stupid question, but does the shipping calculator on TaobaoRing include the 40% discount or not? It's £40 to ship my order and £25 to ship via SAL, so if I've got 40% coming off of that I'll go with EMS.

>>6882704
I feel like maybe the only way to get around the risk would be to mark the package accurately, maybe include some kind of certificate of authenticity?

>>6882802
Yea it includes the discount already. SAL is always significantly cheaper.

Any idea where these items are from?

>>6882819
China

I'm looking for a loliable green vest. Anyone seen anything recently?

>>6882819
As for the brand, that's Candy Stripper. As for the Taobao shop, I haven't a clue. You can find all those items if different shops.

>>6881347
Did the order transfer from the confirmed page to the order page?

I don't know the correct names of the pages but there's two separate pages.

>>6882819
mysis.taobao.com for most of the clothes, and for the accessories just look up "amo", "ayamo", and "spank" in the search bar

Has anyone tried dhl before? How is it with customs?
Inb4 faq sheets. I know its prone to chinese customs, but how does that work? Do they charge the ss then charge me or do they straight up charge me?

>>6882962
Different anon but pretty sure most of those are stolen images so you probably won't get the exact same item to the picture.

>>6883006

I shop there all the time, the quality is superb and always looks like the image, even the bags.

I def recommend mysis

>>6882819
My sister and I shop

http://mysis.taobao.com/

>>6882964
i dont how it is eleswhere, but here in canada dhl likes to charge "brokerage fees". even if your stuff doesnt get hit with customs, they act like it has just so they can get extra money out of you so you can get your package.

>>6882656
Ah, that's no good. Thanks for the warning, anon!

I'm STILL trying to figure out if the Coconuts model is a real person or not. On one hand she makes the same face every time, but on the other hand, it could just be copious shooping.

>>6883273
Same face+shoop

>>6883273
I remember someone saying it was a kigu mask + lots of shooping?

>>6883319
Why go through all that effort?

>>6883319
Absolutely no way. I'm sure it's just posing and shooping.

Is there a term for low-cut/low-neck I can search for? 99% of tops I find are high-neck but I'm pretty busty and it just doesn't suit me at all.

So the spreadsheet mentions Celestial Delinquent and dollypoodle as being best for customized stuff, but has anyone had good experiences with other SS doing custom orders? I'm looking into some jewelry from http://rose-of-sharon.taobao.com, if that helps

Fox cherry is back up!
Figures though! She goes out the day before I place an order and then comes back he day after I pay for another....

>>6883787
I've ordered custom pieces through TaoBao Spree before. I had them order a OP style dress from Surface Spell (gothic/custom), and requested that they remove the sleeves to make it as a JSK.

>>6883799
Meant to add other examples.

Ordered customised shoes from an*tai*na through them.
Requested custom changes to the straps of a JSK from Surface Spell as well. Should have been more specific, however. They put the buttons in the front rather than the back, which was weird.

Can you guys post how much your orders weighed? i am thinking of placing and order after lurking for nearly 5 months and have lost that site that have you an estimate on how much stuff weighed.

>>6885100
I'm >>6872488 and still photographing shit for reviews.

It was broken into two deliveries. One was 11.7kg, the other was 10.8kg. The majority of the weight was the purses, shoes and heavy dresses from Artka (made of wool).

Next order I do, I'm going to ask them to pack things INSIDE of the purses. They leave the paper inside from the original sellers and it ends up making the bags heavier and the parcels bigger than they need to be.

>>6872513

Could you review of laser kitty shirt, please?

Were do you guys buy your fake figures?

>>6885145
i always ask taobaotube to remove the boxes and bulky packaging after they sent me three shoes once all in boxes.

>>6885175
I'm happy to leave shoes in boxes so long as they put other things IN those boxes with the shoes, purely because I had a heel broken in transport once due to lack of box. I still have no idea how the fuck that happened.

>>6880901

That's how I feel about mori girl too, the baggy aspect is a turn off. I think I get what you want, like earth tone colors, old fashioned floral patterns, really homely style? Taobao likes to call it vintage 复古.

Bad part is I'm a dude and I have no idea of fabric work or sewing in general. Well, there is a sewing machine in my household and I have a black hoodie that I could stick stuff to but I'd rather not a) sew my hand into the jacket or b) ask mum to do it. Anybody got ideas?

many thanks!

You have to use a serger to work with jersey fabric, so there's no way for you to do it unless you have one.

If you know shit about sewing then no, it would not be piss-easy to do it.

Besides, why the fuck are you posting this in a taobao thread?

>serger
I'm not American, is that what you call Overlock machines? We have one of those too. My mum's pretty into sewing.

Was about to order it from Taobao, posted in in /a/ instead, they then linked me to this thread.

Do keep in mind that at least for bobon, their stuff is TINY

That's height/weight. It's never accurate, you are better off going by the garment's measurements.

>>6886999
Why are you trying to use a size converter? Those things are damn near useless for Taobao since most of the shops have their own sizing. You'll want to have your measurements memorized (For girls it's generally bust/waist/hips/length). Shops list all pertinent measurements in the description. Oh, and fit things to your largest measurement, since it's easy to tailor things smaller.

Another thing to keep in mind is the difference between garment measurements and body measurements. You want the garment to be a few cm larger than your body measurements so you have wearing ease.

Thanks for the tip. What I am impressed with is the prices of these clothes. I will be lurking around til then.

just order it off taobao then

If ANYONE who got the laser cat shirt could tell me about the quality and stuff that'd be great - I'm thinking about getting it for my brother but he has quite broad shoulders.

Here are some. There a links to several others.

For future reference, autosage is 300 posts. This post (unless someone posts before this one) will be 296 so technically this will bump up even with the new thread unless people sage their other posts.

I'm a little late, but 无跟高跟鞋 is heel-less heels.

>>6887434
Those are awesome! They seem to be driving gloves? I wonder if they feel strange.

A bit late, hope you're still here!
