>Persian kitties forever.
hah.

Re-asking, since I had no response last thread.

What term would I use for "border print"? I want some fabric for cute skirts. Not necessarily lolita, but I like border prints in general. I'm trying to get it using google translate, but I keep getting trims and lace (I guess I'm coming out with something with a meaning closer to "material for borders" instead?).

>>7012755
As someone who speaks Mandarin fluently, I'd say there is no direct term that gives "border print". If you use google translate and then narrow the search on Taobao's website (for instance they have different categories), and look for 布 (which means fabric), then click on that category and it should lead you to fabrics-only.

Going on 3 weeks now waiting for my galaxy fuku to arrive at taobaoring. ugh.

Chinese anon here, border print fabric in Chinese is 定位印花布.

>>7012901
Why would you buy those? They're obviously handpainted, and not even done well. The paint is going onto the sides of the soles, and it looks like acrylic which is going to crack so easily.

>>7013061
anon please explain these options if its not too much of a hassle for you.

So I've decided to get a wig from Taobao for the first time so can anyone recommend any good wig shops please?

>>7013097
Link to the leggings please!

super pumped! can't wait for this stuff to come in

>>7012128
>>7012457
I'm almost 100% positive these stores have to have at least some or a variation of those storage boxes
http://jianjia.taobao.com/
http://52zizi.taobao.com/

>>7012482
I don't know if high-quality but still relatively cheap fake thigh-highs exist. most of the shops use the same sets of stock photos, so unless you find a fancy place that does their own photos, you're probably getting the same ones that everyone else is buying. you could always try searching the term for fake thigh highs and then sorting by price, and going by that (and customer reviews)

Does anyone know of taobao stores with good, preferably huge twin tail wigs like the ones in this >>7012644 photo?

It's okay if they're more expensive. (Alternatively, if you simply know where these wigs might be from, just tell me and I'll fork over my soul.)

>>7013066
Oh boy here we go.

>>7013097
Link to lavender lolita bag please!!

>>7013097
What's that guardian angel thing?

>>7013126
Not the anon that bought it, but it's a rape bell. You hang it on a bag or purse or something, and when you pull it it makes a screeching sound.

>>7013097
I want your whole order!
Links to both shoes and the socks would be greatly appreciated if you get a chance.

Yeeeees got my package in. If people need things fast, I suggest using budget express courier. Shipped 7/27 and arrived today (8/2/13).

>>7013132
Oh, thanks. Well that's the cutest rape bell I've ever seen. I assumed it was a mini flashlight or something.

>>7013097
>>7013132
Okay now I definitely want that. Can I have the link to it please?

>>7013013
styleboys.taobao.com

>>7013093
Did you look at the spreadsheets? At all?
A wig, what kind of wig - natural, cosplay, kawaii, lace front...?

If any chinese anons knows how I'd be able to locate natural/copper red wigs, I'd be super grateful. Digging through pages of pages of wine red ones. I'd guess there aren't many though, so maybe I've already found the ones that exist.

>>7013154
I did, yes, but I'm looking for reviews and first hand experiences to shops that sell natural, everyday wigs.

Is this purse real or a knock off?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w4002-1063514263.113.xgQaZi&id=23936108879

Also, any links to other purses like it in other shapes too? Or a search term for heart shaped, star shaped, etc purses?

>>7013197
knock-off, the lettering on the bag you'll receive will also say Vcastle instead of milk. Google translate the term for heart + bag, don't be lazy and ask for spoon feeding.

>>7013206
>using google translate
>not using the dictionary
>not even suggesting the dictionary

>>7013206

I have tried that, heart + bag does not give you heart shaped purses.

>>7013209

I tried the dictionary with "心形物包" but I get a bunch of dog treats or something. Is there something more specific I can use? I'm sorry, I do not know Chinese which is why I am asking.

>>7013208
>>7013209
My bad, google translate gives you heart as in the organ. Chinese, so don't use those often.

心包 is the term. star 星 or 星星。

>>7013221
Like I said, you do not get heart shaped purses with that, just regular purses. I tried the heart shaped term from the dictionary plus purse and didn't really get heart shaped purses either, there were like heart shaped boxes and dog treats for some reason. So I'm asking for a more specific search term possibly?

>>7013217
心形包包 works really well for me.

>>7013225

Thanks, that one is way better.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-2993902509.11.e5A0TS&id=19327309880

Can someone confirm the price of this dress for me? Is it really 300 YEN or am I seeing things?

reasking because it didn't get answered, best term to search for candy themed lolita prints? Also there was anon looking for cookies.

>>7013237

It is 300 yuan, they are similar looking. All prices in Taobao are usually in Yuan because China. If you have more questions like this, there is a FAQ at the top that answers stuff like this.

In a previous Taobao thread, I saw images (and possibly a link to an old thread) of /fa types being disappointed in Chinese-made ebay purchases. Lots of weird skinny jackets and such. Does this ring a bell? I can't find it in the archives.

>>7013237
>>7013242
Yuan and Yen use the same symbol, sort of how CAD and USD both use $.

>>7013098

>>7013117
I think only the lace is lavender. The rest of the bag should be white.

You're thinking of that yesasia/milanoo korean-style jacket that looked like garbage.

>>7013253
Why are you ordering a rape bell? They don't usually work outside of asian(as in no one knows what the hell they mean as far as sound etc)

>>7013253
Thank you!

>>7013254
Was it all just one jacket? I remembered it as a few, and my boyfriend just linked me to some jacket on ebay that triggered the memory of it/them in an alarming way.

>>7013257
I think it was a few of them from yesstyle specifically. They were boxy and unfit even though the photos showed them to be very fitted. But I wouldn't order from ebay in any case. Stick to good taobao sellers for something similar, they are out there.

I'm planning on ordering all this stuff when I get my next paycheck. Can't wait.

>>7013257
>>7013261
/fa/ here, they were indeed yesstyle jackets. Would post a pic, but I'm on a different computer.

>>7013273
I was just about to put my order in a few days ago but then I started watching Attack on Titan. I added a hoodie, that pin, the key necklace, and the Recon Corps jacket. Now I have to wait for my next paycheck, too.

I'm currently writing a review for my Taobao order but I know some anons from a previous thread were worried how unaccommodating the Captain Mia JSK was on moderate sized boobs.

It doesn't look too bad I think (ignore the lace that folded down. Didn't notice when taking pic). I wear a 34C (my largest bust measurement is 35").

>>7013282
I started with the cosplay stuff then the blog I follow on tumblr showed me the winged jacket that lead me to the galaxy shirts, and the watches...

commence shitty small order

>>7013342
link to bear tights and socks on far left?

>>7013310
Awesome, someone else got their Mia! I reviewed mine in the last thread, so I'm eager to read yours.

Just a friendly note though, bra size isn't very informative because so many people wear ill fitting bras. Underbust and full bust are more useful.

>>7013342

They're both from the same shop, which is nice and convenient. I'm honestly more excited about all these socks I'm gonna get than I should be.

>>7013345
Yeah I am including my measurements in my review because of that. I don't really want to buy specialty bras because they are bloody expensive hahaha...

Taobao shops don't usually restock unless the demand is overwhelming. The only one I can think of that's done second runs is Krad.

>>7013573
I'm too lazy to individually weigh them but I think the green wig is the heaviest item out of the order.

I guess the next one would be the JSK.

this is like raver/scene pool party orgy wear, it literally does not fit any category you picked

so... do you want the pictured crap, or do you want what you actually listed, because they look nothing alike.

>>7013682

>do you want YOUR pictured crap

my picture fits imouto-kei, obviously you can see it's nothing like your pictures.

>>7013682
man I love pinkly ever after.
It's so hard to find my weird age play clothing. Most of it caters towards the sissys and more fetishy people.
not the mentally unstable people who just want to pretend their 4 like me.

>>7013528
Thank you for the sleeves term! So happy haha

>>7013685
can you just fucking stop.
Your shit is hot topic scene.
Go to your local fabric store get some balloons, elastic, and a yard of tulle. Put it all together and you have the shit fuck of a tutu that girl with the candy bra was wearing.

you'd have to be semi autistic to want to dress like a scene kid in the first place though.

the estimator i looked at said 200g per shirt

>>7013687
I only find ageplay stuff things for sissy/men :( Like super shiny huge dresses

if you ordered the cutlery JSK from r-series, they announced that there was a mistake with the measurements, here are the correct measurements:

>Bust 84-100cm, best fits busts 80-94cm,
>Waist 66-96cm, best fits 62-80cm.

those satin messes are the reason people have miscarriages

on yoybuy, can i add items to my order if say I bought stuff, and then found another item?

>>7013731
yeah! that's part of why i miss them. whenever shit arrives just tick all of 'em to ship in one shipment.

>>7013718
Which estimator did you look at?

Incidentally, I think it also depends on what kind of T-shit it is. So we both could be right with 400 and 200g.

on pruany, can i add items to my order if say I bought stuff, and then found another item? I already paid my items are arriving

>>7013736
I was looking at bhinders.
they look to be made out of really light cotton - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18867218559&spm=2014.12317209.0.0

>>7013735
miss them?

>>7013741
It looks heavier then some other T-shirts but not that heavy, so it's about average i guess. So 300g

>>7013742
I can't use them anymore because alipay hates all of my cards and refuses the verify any of them anymore, and my bank says it's not an issue on their side. my last orders had to be shipped with a friend's card. but they have been the fastest/prompt/easy to communicate with and use when I did use them.

>>7013482
Thank you for your review! I got the skirt in ivory and I was also pretty pleased with it, especially for the price. It's a very nice summer skirt and my only gripe is that I wish they had done pre-orders earlier in the year so that I'd have more of the summer to wear it.

No pics because I'm terrible at taking pictures but I'm sure I'm not the only seagull who bought the ivory ver if anyone's looking for that one. Blue ver anon's review was absolutely accurate to mine.

>>7013715
have you exhausted all your brand search terms
spank, 日本spank, galaxxxy, milklim, etc

spank turns up mostly tights, but there are a ton of milklim replicas if you search the brand, and those stores probably sell similar things that may or may not be knockoffs

>>7013715
Do you know where that dress comes from?

>>7013253

I can't wait for that print. I'm hoping so so hard that they release a nice skirt or JSK. The OP (if the preview sketch was the OP) would look all kinds of silly on me.

I've ordered that one. It does say milk on it. Just not the right font/logo style as the originals.

>>7013528
Thank you anon, you're a doll

>>7013760
You're welcome! I really liked the ivory after seeing the new pics in the item page of the second payment page.

...all the colorways look cute.

>>7013816
(I'm ivory anon)
Yeah I very nearly bought the OP in blue or red after they put another pre-order up, but I was talked out of it because why get two of the same print? I love the bright saturation of the blue and red though... that's not to say I'm regretting the ivory as I love it pieces, just that I'm really enjoying all the colorways. If the blue or red in any style ever come up on the sales comms I'll probably try and snap them up.

>>7013824

>>7013700
Man, the way you replied to your own post was pretty confusing.

Hey, taobaotrends anons! I was looking at their website linked via the SS spreadsheet, and their website looks sketchy? Everything else worked out okay, right? I mean, at least Bhiner and Taobaoring don't look sad in the website layout and appearance department.

>>7013940
sorry about that, I was correcting it, heh, it is kind of late here, my bad

>>7013253
>>7013253
Ok is it just me or are all these links the same? I refreshed the page a couple of times and they still all link to the jellyfish leggings. Rerequesting the lavender lolita bag link, or possible fix please?

>>7013966
Overall, TBT is a reliable SS. It's faster than most others. I did have a bad experience with them though when they accidentally sent two orders to me instead of one order so I was expected to pay more shipping than I wanted. Excluding this, I've used TBR and TBF and TBT is the best of the three.

I'll be putting in an order at the end of august with what I estimate to be about 10kg worth of stuff.

Could you review the guardian angel alarm?

sad when I can spot the Taobao-Finds items.

>>7014646
I think the style is called "boater" hat. I know it translates to "flat-top hat", so that could be another name?
I emailed her a few weeks ago with an addition to the dictionary and it hasn't been added... so who knows.

What my order is looking like so far. I've been sitting on half of these items for a while, but I don't want to actually order anything until the end of the month, as I'm moving house.

I'm also planning on buying tights, socks, and eyelashes and perhaps a jsk or sk, depending on when certain things are released.

>>7014962
your items are really cute, i'm in love with those pins and the purple skirt!

Does anyone know what a good search term for studded chokers would be?

>>7014962
sauce on the bag please? thanks in advance!
lovely purchase btw

try 尖钉项圈 (make sure to sort to necklaces/accessories, otherwise there will be pet collars included), or some other combination of 尖钉 (spike), 庞克 (rivet), 颈圈/项圈 (collar)

>>7014691
Yup, I was just hoping to find some nice fancy, or fun ones. Though I guess those are more business orientated than the lanyards, everything was pretty boring and plain.

>>7015022
thank you so much! I didnt know that shop, it`s lovely

>>7014623
this store is really cheap too http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4492046-2307147873.28.cKVBDt&id=16626332557

I've only really been lurking since yesterday but I'm pretty confident that I know the basics. I just wanted to show off what I want to order so far

I always said I'd never end up like small shitty order anon, and then I realized that my current order was sitting at 5000 yuan.

>>7014657
Does anyone have any idea how much the Jellyfish dress is gonna cost?

>>7015169
Link to the ghost bag? Or the term you used to find it?

>>7015210
It's going to be more than MC, so... $100+ for the skirt, ~$150 for the JSK/OP? That's what I'm guessing at least. Maybe have $200 set aside to be safe.

Who wants to bet Krad will cost brand prices within the next couple of years? Mind you, if they keep up the quality I'm cool with that.

>>7015268
Here's a link http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.0.0.Xuobzz&scm=1007.77.0.0&id=18028635469&pvid=9e949f43-df30-4955-837e-b1461a17b649&ad_id=&am_id=&cm_id=&pm_id=

Does anyone know what happens to your items when customs takes them? I haven't really seen an answer to this

>>7015301
I assume they dispose of it / throws it out.

>>7015301
They probably get binned.

I was looking at kigus but I found the same ones from Chinese sellers on ebay, which would be cheaper/safer if they end up a dud.
51coloryou has a really cute owl hoodie (pic related), how is their quality and are do they match the photos(not a copy)?
Is this seller good?

>>7014657
GFD, KL. GFD. Any idea when they may release this? I haven't heard back from TBS yet so I may delay my order by some weeks as it's just stuff that can wait.

>>7015323
Probably September at the earliest, later if they have problems with the Jellyfish dress. They tend to do only one print series at a time.

>>7015321
check them out using toolhaus.org
I would tell you my findings except my connection is shitty so the search using their seller ID + kigurumi as a keyword is taking forever to load

Long shot, but has anyone bought pikmin plushies/goods from taobao? If so, could you recommend stores?

I'm trying to find these boots/sandals/whatever or shoes similar to these. The girl says these are by Glad News if that helps, though searching that hasn't gotten me these at all.

>>7015210
I don't know either,but I guess >>7015276 is right.I believe even someone on weibo said it will be more expensive than MC.
In the comments KL says "800",but I don't know if she means the SK,JSK or the OP.

>>7015323
Google translate says something about summer but I don't know...maybe some chinese anon could help?
The description:
不知道赶不赶得上夏天的尾巴~(款式待定,印花确认中

It also seems to appear in 4 colors, "morning", "noon","sunset" and "starry sky".

>>7015346
Sunset sounds beautiful and unique. But if the one they're showing is morning it'll be a tough decision.

>>7015301
They take them home and wear them.

>>7015346
Fuuuuck with names like that I'll be hard pressed to choose a color. Hopefully they put up samples of every colorway. I'm glad I skipped the Phantom release and resisted buying a second MC skirt now.

Thanks for the info Scotch!

I really want those winged creepers and that bag... The originals were by Candy Stripper I believe?? There's replicas on taobao which can be easily found but which taobao shop are the most reputable for them? I know some generic creepers on taobao have fallen apart on the soles for some people.

>>7015343
I gotta have those.

>>7015343
I think you're SOL. I'm seeing other styles of shoes on there, but not those particular ones.

>>7015375
That was my exact reaction when I first saw them.

>>7015376
Yeah. I found similar wedges, but the tallest ones only go above the ankle and not to the calf area. Oh well.

>>7015379
Yeah, the highest I've found is maybe two inches above the ankle. Three max? And it was a flat platform, not a wedge. Looks like those shoes are also sold out on the original site. Maybe check second hand auction sites like mbok?

>>7015391
Failing that, an*tai*na takes orders for custom made shoes. If you can find enough photos of those, you might be able to get them to replicate them.

>>7015374
Seconding this. I have a pair in my cart, but I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with a specific shop (for the winged cross creepers).

>>7015394
link? I want to replicate a couple of shoes since I have size 9.5/10 feet the ones I find won't fit.

Are they expensive?

>>7015334
Is just displays ebay's feedback?
There's more "I just realized shipping from China takes a while" neutral/negs than "looks like a knockoff/cheap" but it also doesn't help that they have the feedback listings as private.

>>7015374
Antaina makes them and they have pretty good reviews and quality from what I've read. I heard that this is where Storenvy resellers buy them from.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w1028-2293476610.25.zoh3Dl&id=18360555978

>>7015397
http://shop35767391.taobao.com/

They have info on their first page in English as to how they go about custom orders. They're not TOO expensive, especially for custom shoes, but they're on the higher end of the scale for TaoBao shoes.

>>7015330
September or later is perfectly fine with me. I'll probably do some early Christmas shopping then.
>>7015346
Summer huh? And ugh, those those color choices. I'm already in love with the preview. Who knows how those other options are going to look.
>>7015343
I need those.

It says that these are eyelash curlers, any idea on if these would be shitty or not? I've never seen an eyelash curler that looks like this.

>>7015479
It's not an eyelash curler but a clip to hold your lashes when you put them on. I find those are a pain to use, though.

>>7015485
Thanks, it was just super cute so I was hoping it was something worth using, haha.

Ghost purse anon here, I'm having some trouble looking for stuff to add to my spreadsheet and I was wondering if anyone wants to help out? I'm mostly interested in goth or spooky stuff

are you SURE you got the basics down, anon? if you searched either of those general terms you'd be heading down a crazy rabbit hole you won't be coming back out of that easily

>>7015500
you never gave the ghost purse link, you only linked the galaxy skirt fyi

where did you get your ghost purse?

And yes I tried the term for cat hats from the spreadsheet.

>>7015624
I know how to find those~

>>7015597
I guess i just want to order interesting things if theyre going to rack up to 500 dollars and I;m still trying to get the hang of everything so I'm sorry for mistakes

>>7015601
I feel like a big dummy, sorry! Wasn't paying attention but thanks who gave the right link

>>7015627
cat ear hat

they shouldn't be hard to find

>>7015629
How?

>>7015624
all the search terms you need are in the product name, google translate that shit and pull "rabbit ears" and "hat." I see the navy version on the first page of the results

>>7015630
looool I wasn't attacking you or anything, anon. it's just most people here are like "well fuck my order is $800, what do I cut out?" not "huh I only have like $50 in my order, what should I add?" you're a rarity among us

I don't actually order from taobao that often, I just like finding stuff for people, so I can't rec you much in the way of stores unless you got a really specific style within goth/spooky that you're looking for, then maybe

>>7015609
>>7015610
>>7015630
mm yes I saw that one, I was hoping the other anon had a different link is why I asked

>>7015643
Hmm I tried that and it didn't went so well. Care to share the link for the one that you found?

Does anyone know what the fuck is going on with taobaoring? Besides them taking ages to answer e-mails, now they tell me that several items that I want are out of stock, ok I tried asking taobaotrends if those itens were really out of stock and guess what? They aren't.

>>7015643
I'm just going to put more of an effort and hope the pages feel like translating, I think just finding some cool things every so often will be better since I have no money now

Thanks a lot, you are life savers.

Okay time for the stupidest help question. I've been looking for this blazer set and this T-shirt, both replicas from One Spo, for a few days now. Problem with the sailor set is that I can only find it in navy and I'm looking for white. And I can only find the T-shirt for like 250yuan. I know some shops replicate items without knowing what original brand they're from so they don't add it in the title so I've searched other terms and only come up with sailor uniforms and wallets, oddly enough.

>>7014621
sailor dress - please do! will be grateful <3

>>7015711
I would love to have that skirt the girl is wearing,it's beautiful

>>7015626
Thank you!~

Here you go, friend.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.339.OSZI3Z&id=23992176298
I was so happy to find the skirt since I thought it would be harder to get than the shirt. Guess not.

>>7015727
Thank you anon!

>>7015279
it says that it's a shopping service for japan. that means you pay for triple the shipping...
>shipping from japan to china
>shipping from shop to your SS
>shipping from SS to you

>>7015323
it says they hope to make it before summer ends, and the end of summer in shanghai is supposedly mid-sept. the design is confirmed but they are still working on the print.

>>7013310
I'm so jealous of everyone who got in on the Captain Mia presales!

I desperately wanted a suspender skirt in red, but those were gone SO fast.

>>7015711
could I get a link for the blazer set in navy that you did manage to find? maybe I could figure out something by stringing together random search terms from its description or something

as for the shirt, right now I'm just going through a generic search for "black harajuku alphabet tshirt." seeing as every page has something new, even if there are a lot of repeats, it's possible something might turn up eventually....

>>7015657

Yeah uh wow, why the hell have they been doing this a lot lately? Another anon made the exact same complaint. They're getting a little bizarre.

As for my story, I just emailed them about the galaxy dress and this is what they told me:

Dear Anon,
The seller said it has not been finished making yet. Please be patient.

Shit. Has anyone else ordered this dress?

>>7015754
Here are a few, thank you:

Some have the blazer in white but I'd prefer the whole set from the same shop so the fabric and colors will be similar. I'm honestly surprised such a basic shirt would be such a bitch to find.

>>7015764
thanks for the links, I'll try my hand

as for the shirt, this is all I've found, and I'm not totally sure if this is an auction page or something?? it's 100 yuan cheaper, but still kinda pricey given that it's a basic item
http://ershou.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19484829376

>>7015169
Here's the ghost bag directly from Japan for anyone interested. It's cheaper than Taobao.

http://fashionwalker.com/fw/b/pc/Product.html?mthd=07&PC=RYD13S0043&SC=0F1&SST=92&aid=&aid2=&aid3=&A=07&D=00

>>7015775
nice. Yeah wow, even with SS fees and shipping the taobao one is like 10-15 usd more expensive.

Too bad the original link doesn't have white in stock anymore

>>7014962
Ooo, link for the purple skirt?

>>7015759
I'm almost ordering with another SS but ring IS the cheapest one. Jesus fuck, they are being so sassy too.

>>7015759
If you mean the Dark Box one, yes. I messaged Bhiner about it and was told they'll ship on the 7th or 8th. They also invoiced me for final payment.

It may depend on colourway, though. I ordered the white with a long-sleeve white chiffon overdress.

dug up info about the jelly dress

>will cost around 800, deposit will be around 300
>reservations open mid-august for two weeks
>expected to complete production in september
>only JSK and OP. Unlikely that there will be a skirt.

>will limit the amount of bespoke orders
>will introduce XL size
>size S will fit girls bust 80/waist64 and under
>OP will have sleeve length somewhere shorter than elbow-length; waist 1.5cm higher than natural waist
>JSK empire waisted, will lie on your underbust but slightly lower than Phantom of Opera

>gonna use a chiffon thicker than Phantom
>matching stuffs include blouse, wristcuffs and headbow, but those will be released later than the dresses

>>7015827
Sweet. Thank you, kind detective.

>>7015812

Ah thanks so much! I was getting a little stressed out there but good to know they're not just making up crap.

>>7015794

Yeah, kinda peeved they didn't even tell me the date. I hope ordering goes better for you soon.

>>7015827

Aw dang, no skirt? I was really looking forward to a skirt.

I guess I'll be sitting this one out. Between the price and the lack of skirt, I guess I'll just wait for the cat-with-sky one to come out later on....

>>7015784
Available in white here:
http://www.magaseek.com/product/detail/id_000930138

>>7015847
what krad lanrete said was, "it is unlikely there will be a skirt" - they did not give a definite "yes" or "no"...

>>7015831
no prob, i'm pretty determined to obtain this one myself too. kind of irritating that the information was scattered all over in the weibo comments, as opposed to having them all in one post.

>>7015759
tbr is real weird

i ordered two sets of stickers for stationary I'm getting but they said there was only one left in stock. my friend uses TBS and, a few days later, her SS got her 4 sets.

they also haven't refunded me for shit that wasn't in stock

>>7015771
It's better than what I was finding. Thanks so much!

I'm going to use taobaotrends as my first taobao ss and im still looking for things to add to my list, but I just have a few questions for those who use taobaotrends:

Theres a total fee at the bottom of each order and an agent fee within that total fee, this does NOT cover the international shipping fee, right? So is there extra I need to pay after the price listed there? (just need this clarified)

For details with the order itself(as in how to package it, weight etc), do I need to use the Contact Us form for that, or is there a given form after I submit the order?

>>7016093
You are spot on in all your questions anon.

Though for weight, that will be calculated after all items arrive unless you mean you'll contact them about removing all excess weigh or something.

>>7015786
Sorry this is a little late, anon! http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.1.1000638.266.mrpU2D&id=25561308236

I've read reviews about both TBS and TBT, and they seem about the same. Do any anons prefer one to the other? I would actually prefer the spreadsheet of TBS, but TBT doesn't charge paypal fees.

Hey, update on KL! I preordered thru Clobba in April for Phantom of the Opera and they finally got my custom sized skirt at their office. Apparently, they got over 500 orders+ for this series alone.

From Martin last week:
>This series is very much delayed. All Krad Lanrete reservations had been rather popular and they have over 500 orders+ for this series alone. The latest series got delayed because of this series too.
>And the first print went a little wrong, as the gold print was too light. And those fabric were still used on the dresses and those dresses were sent off to some domestic customers who doesn't mind the colour difference last month.
>According to Krad Lanrete, the OP of this series is the most complicated dresses(not the print is complicated) they've ever made so far which they didn't realize until the production begins and the production went rather slow.
>Part of the standard sizes have been finished earlier this month and had been sent off, while all the rest standard sizes and custom made ones were under production. They have been completed recently EXCEPT the JSK version. Krad Lanrete is preparing shipping recently which is going to take a bit of time due to the number of orders for them(I'd like to think they should be ready by some time next week except the JSK version of this series). :)

Hi, decorative tape anon here, is there any term I can use to search for sticker flakes like the ones in pic related? I can only find nail stickers and such.

Probably a dumb question, but I just wanted to check...
When TaobaoNow says, "We are responsible to make sure it leaves Chinese customs or your money back (If your package weight is over 5kg and with branded items and/or electronics, this does not apply anymore as China customs are getting stricter now)"...would "branded items" also pertain to DoL replicas?

If I was considering getting a replica from them, would it be better to do it in a separate order?

>>7016229
Thank you very much, anon!

>>7015397
as another yeti chan I'd love to know how it goes, those shoes are drool worthy

>>7016597
I want to know, too.

can someone suggest stores that have a wide variety of loliable/ lolita blouses?
i'm specifically looking for short sleeved classic blouses in cream or pink

i've been through all three spreadsheets and most of the stores seem to have really tiny selections.
just doing a general search yields a lot of ordinary blouses, so any help would be appreciated

Are the black milk body suit and skirt in the mermaid scales available on taobao? I've tried black milk 美人鱼 (mermaid) and black milk 鱼鳞 (scales) but didn't find anything

I have to say, these threads have totally put me off taobaoring.

>>7015375
>>7015434
>>7016999
so thanks to the anon who found the originals, I found pic related. they're still like 500 yuan and I think the buckles are gold/bronze, not silver, but better than paying for the real deal...I guess? I only found one other pair (they might have been "genuine" iirc, but they were like 2000+ yuan or something)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.O7xkeH&id=15509527892

I know some people had already made pretty thorough searches for them, but if anybody else wants to have a go, 镂空搭扣靴 seems to be a pretty good search term for the style

>>7017063
Because many anons have been having problems with TBR recently. It's sad; they used to be my favorite SS.

>>7015690
this shop has it in navy and was on the first page of my "bunny ears hat" search.

Has anyone ordered this blouse in wine from pumpkin cat? I haven't been able to find a review or photo of it, but if the color of the photograph is true, I need it!

Okay this isn't really order related, more like a rant. But I'm really tired of people treating me like a shopping service. At work I've gotten like six customers asking me to buy them something from Taobao. It usually goes like this:
>Oh wow I love your clothes/phone case/purse/other item! Where did you get it?
>Thanks! It's from an Asian online shop.
>Must have been expensive for so far away!
>No it was about like "cheapamount"
>WHAT OMG BUY ME ONE HERE'S MONEY
No, no, no bitch. I will write down the website for you and you will purchase it on your own. How rude. I don't even know your name, how are you going to ask me to buy you something? I've just avoided mentioning Taobao at all but I work in a Spanish neighborhood and those people are nosy as fuck. Word of mouth travels a mile a second over there so now a shit load of people know about this magical place wear shoes are $6 but only that fucking weird dressing girl knows how to buy shit. I have no problem with people buying from Taobao, that's why I told them. I save so much money on clothes now it's insane. But just do it yourself.

>>7017225
What are you waiting for? Charge them exorbitant SS fees and make huge profits.

>>7017225
Maybe start charging them? Hell, I'd be happy to shop online for people if I could make a little profit off of it.

>>7017225
If people ask me where I get my clothes from I don't get into specifics for this exact reason

>>7017225
>>7017234

I say ebay to make things easier on me. It's really hard to explain the reasons why I put in so much effort into shopping online.

>>7017233 and >>7017236 have the right ideas though.

>>7017233
>>7017236
I am the laziest person in this entire thread. I could not be bothered to take Consuela's shitty little order consisting of knockoff designer bags. Customs would seize all their shit in a heartbeat since they'd just want Michael Kors and Louis Vuitton shit. That and they're extremely cheap. I work at a supermarket and 90% of the customers are on foods tamps. If I even mention for a second that I want them to pay me, they'll fucking riot. They're so used to getting everything for free. I tried explaining the concept of a SS to a woman and she just looked at me like I had told her I was the reincarnation of Hitler.

I've already started saying eBay. People don't question that.

I know this feel.
People on my Facebook ask me to buy them stuff all the time whenever they get wind that I/My mom is going to China.

I don't mind getting people a few small things, especially if they're fragile and you don't want to ship it. But I hate it when people I barely know (Con friends) ask me to get them $500 worth of clothes, whine until I actually order it for them, then get pissy at me for charging them the luggage overweight fees I warned them about when they ordered, and then makes me lug all of that to a con because they don't have a car and cannot get to my house to pick up the items.

At least now I have enough sense to ask people to pay for the items BEFORE I place the order.

I want to add that I love several of the shoes in that blog post but cannot find them in stock anywhere either. Booo.

Say no. Or charge 3x the item's price. Don't be so goddamn spineless.

If I can barely put together an order for myself. what makes you think I agreed to do so for another person I don't even know?

If it helps, I got the XL and it fits me wonderfully. I'm a busty US size 10/12.

>>WHAT OMG BUY ME ONE HERE'S MONEY

Uh?

Has anyone ordered this hoodie from Stars Rainbow? Just wondering how nice it is and if it runs big/small. I have pretty long arms so I was wondering which size I should get

>>7017488
Oh daaarn I just realized it was out of stock. Does this shop normally restock these kinds of things?

I'm sooooo pissed right now! I missed r-series new print cos taobao spree never answered my email, and yoybuy refunded me cos the seller wasn't replying and when I asked them to try again I got the message that the item is out of stock. How hard can it be to do what I pay you for???

>>7016597
it's not exactly what you are looking for, but perhaps the title will give you more search terms

Any stores that sell full boxes of lashes? I ordered some from a store but received only a pair, I had no idea they cut up the boxes and sell 'em separately. Is this a common thing?

anyone know what stores are good for buying "trinkets" like this seashell jewelry box?

>>7017946
similar question, but I'm looking to buy lashes in bulk? any stores that do that?

>>7017946
I bought a couple boxes of lashes here: http://jmpf888.taobao.com/
I think they sell pairs seperately, too, but they have a lot of boxes.

>>7018388

I can't seem to the find the appropriate name for that style of hat! please help!
