/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Yes it is a shitty OP pic but I didn't care to make it any better.

reposting from other thread:
Question, if a listing says it's a couple's item, a pair, etc.
If I order with 2 Sizes will I get both?
This is what I want, but do I have to buy it twice? or will I get both in one order?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.138.WtEOhd&id=24499616492

>>6980474
I'm going to take a guess and say the listing is for one ring. If it was a pair, the options in choosing the "color classification" would have been pairs rather than individual pieces even though the listing says pair.

>>6980465
It's okay, OP, you didn't disappoint

This is kind of a weird request.
What's the search term for safety eyes for teddy bears/stuffed toys?

It seems that every combination of plush doll bear safety eye, etc (in English) all bring up other things like makeup, bear phone cases, or stuffed animals. It'd be great to find some like pic related (note the back is curved instead of flat like the typical safety eye)

>>6980494
I searched 泰迪熊 眼 DIY and got a ton, though idk about ones with curved backs. I've found DIY is a good general term for all craft stuff.

Not sure if I should be asking this here, but anyone knows where I could find this kind of K figures on tao bao?

first time ordering a wig from taobao. Just wondering about the quality of wigs from Kucos?

>>6980581
Those are Karakore (Colorful Collection/ColoColle) figure keychains made by Movic of Japan. Any that you find on Taobao will be badly made bootlegs and I wouldn't recommend supporting that industry.

I need some socks for my coord that aren't freakin' Secret Shop. Does anyone know of some good shops for socks suitable for lolita?

>>6980658
You can get loliable socks literally everywhere on taobao if you take 30 seconds to search

>>6980655
Muahahahah you will never knotw my secret code.

>>6980653
>>6980655
Those are some terrible passwords...

>>6980659
>literally everywhere
"Literally" should not be used if you do not mean LITERALLY. It is not some random expression used to highlight something or add intensity, it has an actual meaning. And considering that not all stores carry socks, no, you can't find loliable socks LITERALLY everywhere on taobao.

>>6980827
You are literally the most buttmad poster I've seen on /cgl/

Literally

>>6980465

I laughed. Thanks for making my day.

>>6980831
It's funny because I am not mad at all. I just thought adding an explanation would be nice since quoted anon looks like they are literally - this time actually literally - dumb.

>>6980656
If I had the money I would buy the originals but yeah... Could you help me with a tag/term for the bootlegs?

>>6980840
Seller on Taobao aren't going to conveniently tell you that they're making bootlegs. Assume 99% of the stuff there is until proven otherwise.

Originals aren't that expensive, they're only about 500-550 yen each retail. Sites like AmiAmi easily sell a box set of 8 discounted for like 3300 yen.

>>6980827
No one gives a shit.

OP, I approve of this image.

Has anyone's Captain Mia reached their SS yet?

>>6980856
No I just asked for a term for these kind of figures.

>>6980997
the general term for figurines is 景品

idk how to search for that particular collection you're looking for, but they seem to be all chibi versions? in which case you could try searching 景品Q版

>>6981045
Thanks!

>>6980879
i do

Which is faster Hong King Air or EMS?

>>6981342
EMS
Last package I got from Hong Kong Air took about 3 weeks.

>>6980839
I think this is the same loser that screwed up the ita thread.
Fucking summer autists, why can't they learn to normal like the regular autists?

>>6980827
You're supposed to be teaching the Chinese English, not teaching us English.

>>6980839
>literally dumb

The literal meaning of 'dumb' is a person who is unable to speak due to being deaf, you sanctimonious fucking moron. You were lecturing us on how to use a word correctly, and then proved you don't understand how to use it correctly yourself. I hope every single Taobao order you make for the rest of your life gets misidentified by Customs as buckets of anthrax.

>>6980994
Nope.

Reposting from previous thread since even ebay seems to hate me and doesn't have anything to offer:

What I'm looking is golden bias tape and all I keep getting is ribbon. Is there is any specific search term for bias tape? If anyone would happen to have shops they use for such things, I would be more than happy if I got any links.

I tried looking through the dictionaries, tried google translate and looking with similar search terms, but with no luck, wikipedia article about bias tape only translates to japanese.

>>6980994

Hi, kind of off-topic for this thread in particular. I *really* want this dress, how much did it cost you altogether? Do you know if they're still selling it to those who didn't preorder? Sorry to dump all this questions on you.

I received my order from TaobaoFocus, but it hasn't stopped being an active order. Is it supposed to remain that way? I want to get the leftover money sent back to my card, but the page says they can't do that unless I have no active orders.

What should I do? Can I send them an email or something? Their online help hours are inconvenient.

I know this is the taobao thread but anyone knows another store like amiami? The item that I want is out of stock.

>>6981998

Did anyone else see this?

>>6982105
Yeah was posted here ages ago.

>>6982109
Missed that, sorry. Are people gonna use it?

>>6982105
That's old. I saw it was posted on tumblr recently but it's been there for quite a while.

I won't be using it because there is no Paypal option (I think. I never bothered reading it)

>>6981777
It cost me...165 yuan for the SK before SS fees and international shipping. They *might* have leftover stock after the preorder is shipped out, but it was pretty popular so they might not. If they do, it'll be more expensive.

Not a problem, and this thread is for everything Taobao related so you're perfectly on topic.

>>6982013
God bless your soul.

How do I search for bat bags? And/Or replicas of the Moitie one?

>>6982142
Really? I paid 219yuan in total after they asked for the rest of the deposit... This is before shipping, SS fees, and intl shipping too. Either my SS is ripping me off for a whopping $13 or you haven't finished paying for your skirt.

ok I get (from the dictonary) that 学院风 is school style and 学院风, 洛丽塔 and 羅麗塔 is lolita but do any of those combine to make finding uniformed themed lolita?

>>6982169
Just look up loris (unless you're looking for different sellers making it?)

>>6981632
Got it!
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=23103216025
Apparently the term you're looking for is something like "piping tape" or edging: 滚边带 seems to work

>>6982179
Oh ok thanks!

>>6982172
Seconding this, I can never find the school themed lolita without it getting sexy and creepy

>>6982171
Oh hell you're right. I just realizes that originally TBS made a mistake and I never corrected it on the spreadsheet, even though I paid the full amount. My apologies, I'm an idiot.

Uhh... what happened to the store directory? In OPs post at the post before, all 3 "store spreadsheets" lead to the dictionary.

>>6982201
Or if anyone wants to help save me some time and link me to good maid dress stores that would be awesome.

the "可爱女仆" search brings me crappy lingerie ones, im looking for cute con friendly ones

>>6982201
It's a bug with certain addons. Try disabling different ones to find the culprit.

Not to mention that the sellers don't suddenly start to ship worldwide because of this.

Hey dudes trying to figure out the characters for a twin size head board. Or just a head board in general. I can't seem to do it right.

What would you use for an eye mask (for covering your eyes while you sleep)? I've tried eye mask, sleeping mask, and eye cover and keep getting beauty products.

>>6982606
床头靠板 is headboard

>>6982721
眼罩

Don't you hate it when you've seen something a million time and then when you're gonna order it, you can't find a listing anywhere?

>>6982736
>眼罩
Thanks so much!! Found exactly what I was looking for. What's the literal translation of that in case I want to look again?

>>6982736
>床头靠板

Thank you. I kept looking at a thesaurus for other phrases for the damn thing. Thanks!

If Krad Lanrete doesn't release the jellyfish print soon,I will loose my last dollars on DC..

eye-cover

Anyone know of any stores that sell tea related things? Specifically I'm looking for cute spoons, but any accessories really.

>>6982769
first I searched "sleep" and "mask," and then that new term popped up in the title, which was the actual name for those eye masks. apparently it means goggles according to google translate? idk how that works...

>>6982774
I just put headboard into nciku, put that into taobao, translated the search results page to english, and then clicked one of their suggestions ("did you mean headboard?" type of thing). good luck with the shipping on that thing

>>6982780
*lose

>>6982781
I know,I know!
I'm not sure about that,but according to the comments it seems to be released in the end of July or in August.

also I found this other shop that sells nice tea sets, not much in the way of spoons though. but just look at how cute and dainty that shit is

Hng, I have so many teapots and cups with saucers, I want these too.

>>6982819
more spoons along those lines if you search 咖啡勺 创意, too

>>6982842

Thank you again, anon!

Possibly a weird/stupid question, but does anyone ever seem to get temporarily IP blocked from their SS at random intervals? (Specifically TBN, in this case)
On several occasions I have been unable to access their website, but it will work just fine if I use a proxy. Any idea as to why this happens?

>>6982911
They blocked your IP. They may have blacklisted you. I'm blacklisted by Taobaonow for opening a Paypal dispute with them and my IP is blocked as well.

>>6980994
just arrived at my SS

>>6983024
>blacklisted for opening a paypal dispute
that's pretty shady, what's the story behind it?

>>6983153
To be fair, I would do the same. There are many people out there to scam.

Hey anon that's finding search terms not in the dictionary, are you emailing petrovna them? You should if you haven't. For future add-ons since she doesn't check the threads that often anymore.

Sage because not that important.

>>6982780
Oh that's pretty. I think I may go for that instead of Chess Story's latest release or KL's print.

>>6982811
These are so cute! Too bad they'd never survive shipping.

>>6981599
I love you

Any store recommendations for nice backpacks/shoulder bags?

Quick question. FedEx is $30 cheaper than EMS but I hear you have a high chance of getting hit by customs in the US. Any experience with this?

Does Bhiner offer a refund on products if it's at their warehouse? They just showed me a picture of a dress I bought, and it looks nothing like the pictures in the shop.

hey guys, i have been looking for capes/cloak coats for a while and found this from a seller on etsy... i am pretty sure it's a reseller but haven't had luck finding a more inexpensive place to buy it anyone know of taobao stores related? i'm looking with 披风外套 right now.
also if i could ask, terms that would help me search for stuff that looks like the other clothes from the etsy? store is etsy /shop/MaLieb. they are kind of.. long? thanks guys! i will post if i find it.

Yay me for getting over my taobao/shopping addiction!!! I haven't even found anything I -need- since like, May. I think I should quit Lolita too, but my wardrobe is so small nowadays, I only have three blouses, three skirts and a JSK. Might sell my CP petti and get a smaller one, how much do you think I could get for it?
It feels great having money let me tell you. Next order will NOT be over 150 USD and it wont be until September or so.

>>6982194
You, sir or madam are my goddamn hero. Thank you so much.

Does anyone know how to find hairties like this on taobao? I really like Q pot hair ties but not enough to spend 20+ on them

>>6983729
I hear you!

A big part of me getting over mine was staying out of these threads and blocking the taobao tag on tumblr

>>6983729
I think a few people in the BST thread are looking for CP pettis so you could try posting it there.

>>6983718
I reverse image searched it and I got aliexpress links so I'd say you're right about them being a reseller. It's still really expensive, though (~$112).

>>6983208
search term anon here, I saw that someone had added at least a few of my suggestions to Petrovna's dictionary, but I was thinking of just getting editing permission anyway just so it's as up to date as possible. thanks for the reminder!

>>6983465
these are some of my personal bookmarks for more everyday, mainstream styles. also try out the site mogujie, it does price/style comparisons. I've found a ton of cute stuff on there
http://bngbag.taobao.com/

>>6983718
my taobao reseller senses are tingling with this one too, especially after seeing their kinda stilted wording in their shop description on etsy. I'll give it a whirl, anon

>>6983874
try 发圈可愛 for starters? though a good number of results turn up if you also search 发圈qpot, though I'm not sure if having qpot in there actually changes anything...

What search term would I use for peignoirs? I've searched nightgown/night shirt/ pajamas and I end up with lingerie. I'm expecting the quality to be shitty since they're so thin but I wanted to try cult party but I want to see if it suits me or not.

>>6983718
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.228.WREo6p&id=18041094585

>>6984221
why would you buy that on taobao? they're harder to find now than a year ago because of tumblr but just look on ebay and etsy and shit.

>>6983718
http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.338.qaSBG6&id=13256151658

come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I came across some of ma lieb's other wool coats elsewhere on my search for this one...

>>6984253
Because, as I wrote, I want to try cult party kei and I'd rather spend $10 for a cheap one I might only use once than spend $30.

I've skimmed through the database, but I can't seem to find a search term for clothing that has photographic print (like JetJ's skirts and dresses).
Heck, I don't even know how to describe it in English, let alone Chinese.

>>6984266
Also, use of classical paintings in the fabric etc

Are there any good stores for home/dorm decor?

>>6984266
if you search 油画or 油画风 (oil painting/style), then choose the women's category, a good number of stuff turns up, though it seems like there are a lot of repeats

>>6984306
seconding this request, gearing up to move into my first house and have a lot more space than I had in my apartment. Not just super kawaii stuff either (although I wouldn't mind decking my sewing room out with it) as I have a fiance who doesn't want all pastel everything

>>6984309

Thanks a lot! I'll try a combination of terms and see if I get anywhere!

>>6984221

>>6984510

I have, honestly I think a lot of their stuff is cute as hell, but I'm not sure if I'd dish out the cash.

I know people have asked this before, but how would I search for sallopettes? Whenever I try to find some, the cut doesn't seem to be right.

I don't know if you guys have seen this but it needs to be brought to everyone's attention

WHY DO I WANT THIS SET SO MUCH?
I love you anon

Captcha: satisfaction Sir

>>6984611
I'm pretty sure there's a thong too

>>6984602

I need this. Holy fuck.

>>6984613
This just got even better then. I'm turning blue just from laughing so hard thinking of the expression my boyfriend would have seeing me in them. Haha oh my goodness
But I don't see the thong in the pictures? I glanced at the options and saw "happy edition briefs" and "flavors edition briefs"

>>6984632
I think I did, but I was laughing too hard. Fuck, I'm still laughing.

>>6984611
Do they ship to the US? Also, where is the "buy fucking NAO" button?

>>6984639
Read the FAQ.

>>6984263
Go to value village or a thrift store. You'll be suprised.

>>6984641
The FAQ didnt answer if this shop shipped to the US. Nor did it tell me where the buy fucking NAO button is.
It only told me that I needed to contact a SS if it didn't ship to the US.

How much aprox in shipping fees do you think 2 or 3 short wigs would be in SAL to canada?
My boyfriend's old tiny chinese mom wants me to get her a wig.

>>6984648
Make an account and message the seller and ask them if they ship here.

Did anyone else had trouble ordering Sailor Kitty? I had it reserved, but my SS screwed up and the shop owner rejected the order. ;_;
I went to contact the owner, (who's an absolute sweetheart), and they told me that my SS didn't give them the reserve ID... Now I'm panicking because I'm scared that they'll lose the ID and I won't get the dress...
(BTW, if I do get it, does anyone want to trade their blue JSK for a beige JSK?)

>>6984648
Most shops don't ship direct to the US. (Though that IS changing, I think? but whatever they're doing is new and I'm unfamiliar with it...I saw a link about it somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.)

Do you have google chrome? It will auto-translate and you may be able to hunt down the individual site's shipping information page.

Check out bhiner. It's a tad more expensive than some shopping services but it's SO INCREDIBLY EASY OMG (it's my go-to ss). I've made some big taobao orders with them and they've been great.

No messy emails, easy copy/paste item URL style cart, and their english is good.

>>6984602

I'm feel like I'm playing russia--- Chinese roulette with this..
I'm trying to buy the PJ pants, and I have to choose between 3 items that are translated as
>Happy Pants
>Heavy Taste Trousers
>Joy's Briefs.

I have a feeling it's not the 3rd.

>>6984648
You obviously didn't read the fucking FAQ or you'd have figured out how taobao works and that your questions are stupid.

>>6984705
the ~happy~ and the ~heavy taste~ versions are similar, but different prints
长裤 is the word you're looking for, for long PJ pants... 四角短裤 is like, boxers/short pants.

>>6984376
What are those drapey things called? I really like them

>>6984705
I think Heavy taste trousers are your best bet
Happy pants could be the underwear
Joy's briefs could be the shorts/boxers

Anyone know any fashionable (Japanese fashion) clothing for scrawny men over the height of 6 foot? Thanks.

>>6984717
Thank you!
I'm using a SS that auto-translates everything for me, so I'll have to double translate it back.

Which version is pictured in the cover photo?

>>6984718
peignoirs, it says in the original comment

>>6984722
Can you be more specific? What kind of style are you looking for?

With yoybuy's 5% fee sale, have they slowed down in service / become unreliable at all? I'm thinking of placing my first TB order with them.

Also... How do tee shirt sizes compare between Chinese and US sizes? I'm between a men's small/medium. Can fit small, but medium is more comfortable.

I want to buy Infanta's new kitty print salopette thing, but I'm unsure of which size would be an ideal fit for me. How important is the fit of the bust in this type of garment?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19150218638

On a somewhat related note, what do you think of the pink x blue? I wanted something fun, but is it too much?

>>6984724
the one in the cover picture is the happy shirt, so I'm going to assume the pants will be of the happy set.
The heavy taste set's shirt has sort of a polo collar.

>>6984755
Imo salopettes don't look good on busty girls, as long as you're relatively flat, you should be okay. But that's just my opinion, if you like it, go for it! The shoulder straps are slightly adjustable, so if you have a larger bust you can always adjust the way the bodice sit.

>>6984730
Gothic, punk, visual kei or anything extremely formal.

>>6984755
Salopettes look best on stick thin girls... Well lolita in general, but salopettes especially. Also, short. I think of sweet lolita as little girlish. It's fine for shorter girls (under 5 foot 3) but for anyone taller it looks like some fetish ageplay thing.

>>6984767
>>6984775
You both bring up good points and I honestly have to say I agree. I'm just under 5'1" and thin, but I do have a moderately sized chest.
Thank you, I'll definitely take what you've said into consideration.

>>6983718
not helping, but it does say on the etsy profile that they are from china. you could try and message them asking if they have a taobao shop.

>>6984221
there is leFlacon and Miss-point which do cult party shit...but if you're in the europe/america, just go to a vintage/thrift store man.

Yeah I wantedm ine for daily wear too. Most I could do was try and style it back with heat and put it in braids. Yours might turn out better though, so good luck.

>>6985457
wigs are each around 400 - 600 g (the longer the heavier), shoes are easily 1 kg each, especially the ones with the laces. Jacket might weigh around, dunno, 500-600 g? That's one heavy order though.

Links to cute hime or fairy kei stuff, that is not super exagerated please?
And kawaii stuff you can wear daily without people staring at you like you're crazy?

>>6985549

fuuuck i'd been hoping around the ~6000 g range because I'd been using TBR's weight lists and some wig estimation stuff from other cosplay sites.i've requested like...everything unnecessary removed so no boxes, no nuthin

i'm hoping for the best!

what's the heaviest order you guys have had?

i dont know the style or name of this particular looking hat , anyone know? any reputable taobao stores sell the same style?

>>6985574
have you looked at the google docs? there are plenty of store listings for those styles

>>6985440

I totally bought a hello kitty knife recently, I had no issue with customs. I'm in Canada as well.

>>6985457

Link to the jumper skirt?

how long is normal for an order to stay in customs? i paid for ems hoping my stuff would show up in a timely manner and now my stuff has been stuck in customs for 7 days...

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=22291684976 !

yeah, of course! i'm getting the pink messenger-bag style one.

Sorry if this is something that gets asked a lot, but does anyone know a store that sells clothing with a deer/fawn print? I've tried the different taobao dictionary search terms but I'm not really getting what I want from them. What I'm after is basically a top or cardigan or something that's printed to look like deer fur, and all I'm getting is leopard printed stuff and tshirts with pictures of deers (and giraffes for some reason) on them.

>>6986280
That's because the literal translation for "giraffe" from Chinese to English is "long-necked deer."

>>6986280
so I take it you don't want the expensive rabbit hair sweaters that are made to look like deer fur, then

>>6985625
it says on victorian maiden that it's a wool canotier, but I think you could get away with calling it a boater hat

My next order, though not sure if I can afford the wigs so I might take those out till next time. I can't wait to get it though, I usually only order wigs and small accessories so this will be different. I hope it works out.

>>6986294
Huh. Now that I think about it, that name actually kind of makes sense. They are kind of similar.

>>6986316
I'm not sure if I know which ones you're talking about or not. I did find some jackets(?) that looked like deer fur which were pretty expensive, but actual fur tends to make things too bulky in my opinion. I just like the look of the pattern. Fawn print on like a sweater or something would be the best thing ever.

>>6985457
link to pink shoes on the top right, please?

>>6986399

By the way, is TaobaoRing being suuper slow (way slower than usual, I guess) when it comes to confirmation for anyone else? (yeah I know it's Saturday)

>>6986169
I'd been wondering about this too. From what I've searched:
threads waaay back had some people who'd bought dildos and vibes and if I remember right, no one really recommended it-- there were a lot of issues like mold lines and strange ... some kind of a slimy (??) substance on some? Also the vibrators were weak and kind of sketchy if I remember right.

I think the bondage cuff sets are fine tho.

>>6986390
I think I meant jackets more than I meant sweaters, like pic related

this one isn't super bulky, but it's 500 yuan and it'll also probably make you a target of PETA. I haven't seen any normal thin cardigans with deer print but I'll post if I come across anything, anon

>>6985189
what are the chances that those shoes were being made only by/for that shop? I've found a couple that were pretty similar

I moved to China this March, setup a local bank account a month later.... oh god thanks to these threads the mailman knows me by name (or at least by "the foreign girl in apartment XXX")

Aside from purchasing fashion and accessories, I've also started purchasing weird shit like soil for gardening.
Not only am I becoming addicted to Taobao, but there are several "malls" (Qipu Lu) that sell the clothing you'd find on Taobao that I'm frequenting too often.

tomorrow, I'll put together a quick collage of items I've purchased that might seem relevant.

So it's been a while since I have heard anything about customs taking items from packages. I am curious, has it happen to anyone recently?

Hello /cgl/,

does anyone know the tag for 'hi-low dresses'?

>>6986758
I was convinced customs would crack into my package (I'm the person who got two bottles of illegal-to-ship epoxy resin with a silicone mould, to the UK, which steals items all the time), but they didn't. They leaked in the box, though, and now the rest of my order reeks of petrochemicals. I wish they had.

Anyone know where else I can find these (or similar)?

Still waiting on the sailor dress to be completed and send to my SS. I wanted to have my clothes before my trip to glasgow/birthday, but I am afraid that isn't gonna happen now....

Does anyone know if TBS includes extras (Notes, little gifts) automatically?

>>6987036
I think the extras might be given to you by the shops you buy things from and not the SS?
I only buy through TBR and have only received extra things in 2 out of 6 orders. One order consisted of 2 tiny items and another one was pretty massive. So I don't think it's from the SS (unless they just hand them out super randomly maybe), but rather the individual shops.

Does happen automatically though, that's all I can say for sure.

Can anyone recommend a reputable shop with good false eyelashes?

>>6987045
I knew that the shops are the ones that include extras in your order, what I was asking was if TBS included them when they shipped or just tossed that sort of thing to cut down on packaging. Sorry I was unclear.

>>6987053

I am the anon who bought the bondage set from the last thread. TBR have finally responded to my emails regarding the missing set, asking me why I hadn't told them when I saw the photos (I had left a message on the order form!!) and why it took me so long to ask them (well, it took them over a week to respond so I don't think it's so bad).

Between this service and them taking over two weeks to start enquiring about my order in the first place (I had to email them to tell them to start the process in the first place) I think I will go back to a different shopping service. Taobaoring is cheap but they've not been worth the bother.

I used to use Taobaonow, are they still good? I am looking for a service that will send through DHL or SAL as EMS sucks as soon as it reaches the UK. I'd read the recommendation spreadsheet but that's where I got the recc for TBR from!

>>6987347
I use Taobaonow, they are very friendly and helpful and quick to respond. They always inform me when something is off and sometimes take pictures. The only time they had a little screw up it was in my advantage. The package came with some weird earings I didn't order (So i gave them to my boyfriends mom, who is into hippie fashion and loved them very much) and instead of the starry night angel skirt they send me the JSK (even though i paid for the skirt), so yeah I like them as a shopping service.

>>6981886
obviously send them an email. give us an update since taobaofocus is one of the lesser known ss.

>>6983299

Au contraire I've been able to get dishes through just fine. Though it adds weight to the shipping prices.

>>6986667

are you going to become an /ss/?

but for like items that can be shipped internationally so you don't have to bother with storage?

>>6987356
I just put in my refund request to see if it would go through, and it ended up working just fine.

I'd reccomend taobao focus for sure, ordering was a snap even though there were a few minor hiccups.

As far as I know it's not a replica, I haven't seen it on any brand sites or lolibrary or otherwise, so if it is it's far from iconic. I believe a few more of their bags of this shape may also be generic designs.

>>6989097

I just ordered a bunch of mugs and plates and they all arrived fine. I did have pillows and things for cushion however. Was the mug in a box by chance? Nearly everything of mine was, and they padded it with newspaper as well.

Can anyone help me find tights that would work for a Maddie Hatter cosplay? I swear I've found polka dot tights in every colour combination possible BUT white/blue.

>>6989184
I think I just had bad luck. It was in a cardboard tube type thing, and wrapped in a couple layers of plastic. I ordered a couple t-shirts and like 7 pairs of socks, but I have no idea what my friend ordered, so I don't know how padded it was.
I'm not pissed because it was like $3, but the other ones are pretty expensive. I'm sure you could tell the shopping service to pack things more carefully if it was something more expensive.

I've seen people here ask for kiddie/age-play/"imouto-kei" stuff. I think this would work for that. Maybe fairy-kei, too?

Hey guys, would it be safe to order 4 or 5 Sanrio phone cases at once? I wanted to give them to my friends and this style actually isn't sold on eBay (somehow). I'm afraid customs will flag me down, but I live in the US and will be using EMS if that helps any.

I'm thinking of getting burando on taobao. What are the chances that it will get taken away by customs? I would hate it if they thought it was a replica, or they will just take it anyway and claim it's replica.
