My small taobao order just arrived in the mail, the R-Series stuff is nice, but I'm very disappointed with the little dipper skirts.

I ordered them in 3 colourways and got them custom sized to fit my waist of 65 cm. But when I tried them on today, they were falling off my waist, they literally sit on my hips now and it looks terribly awkward. I'm not sure how the sizing could get so terribly wrong, it's like 15 cm too big.
Did anyone experience similar issues with little dipper, especially the petticoats?
Also, is there a way I can make the skirts smaller? I have no sewing skills, so I can't do it myself, but would it be expensive to get it altered? I've been looking for skirts like this forever, so I'd really like to find a way to make them fit before considering selling.

Different anon, but I found them fine. I think after the fact I realised that the gathering could be more even, but other than that, the ruffles are even with no frayed edges, and all edges are finished. The fabric is a light chiffon that's sort of... fluffy for a lack of better word. Due to the gathering issue, they could drape better, but they're pretty fluffy. I sometimes use them as a second petti actually.

I also wrote a review before with more pictures. Unfortunately, I lost my hard drive so sorry about that.

>I would suggest you try smaller orders with us, and if things go well you will know we can be trusted for your next order. If you're still in doubt you're more than welcome to let me know your contact number and I'm willing to call and answer any questions. :-)

Hoping this is "small" enough. Making the list made it seem long, seeing it in picture form makes it small in comparison.

I put in the final cost they provide on their side of your order, which is nice to know since I hate getting hit with insane fees without knowing, and the anticipation kills as well.

I don't think so, anon. If it was $116 for just the items then I would think you did shitty. But people seem to forget that Taobao really isn't "cheap".

That was also my impression - that Taobao was cheap unique fashion pieces you wont find easily elsewhere without paying a bucketload in a niche store in the city.

I'm aware of the jacked up exchange rate, despite the claim in the email (unless they are meaning the best exchange rate for themselves with the rate stuck at 4.75 per AUD despite it being better now) but overall, unlike an order made in Taobaoring where it totals to $60 only, at least I'm seeing once and for all how much I'm going to shell for all that (pun intended :D)

And yes, as said its about $20 per item shipped in a way. Yes that may be absurd for the bits of jewellery, but if you take off like $10 from both of those they could be applied to the salopette and the blouse to make them $30 shipped. Which isnt bad either imo.

I have the dark angel ones (from ebay). I don't even have fat legs but yeah they are most suitable for very thin legs.. For me they stretch a lot and print is barely recognisable anymore while I am wearing them. Color of the tights is really weird, like white on the inner side and dark on the outer side, so when they stretch the white kinda..takes over and print looks really messy and awful. Might take pics later but I personally don't recommend the dark ones unless you have super skinny toothpicky legs

I have the original Grimoire tights bought directly from their Japan webshop. It is the stained glass one and the print is exactly like what you described. It is white inside and dark outside therefore once it stretched the color becomes lighter.

If you said that for items you could have gotten from aliexpress for around the same price, I would have said yes.

However, these seem to be pretty unique items that you wouldn't find hanging out in a chain store or on aliexpress. 116 is actually a pretty good deal for what you got, especially with the few number of items you have.

I ordered a dress directly from Krad Lanrete (because I have an address in Taiwan and an Alipay account), but I'm getting kind of confused with how the shipping works. It says something about it here:
"本品不包郵,上海地區拍6元運費發快遞,其他地區直接拍12元快遞運費"
And I'm assuming it's saying that in certain regions of china, shipping is 6 yuan, while in others it's 12 yuan. However, I don't see any link to where I can pay the shipping fees?
If I go to other listings, most of them seem to be linked to:

"?港澳臺地區不用拍運費,順豐到付發送"
Which I think says that some places (including Taiwan) don't have to pay shipping? Is this right? I have no idea what the last part means (after the comma), though.

hello you pm'd me on tumblr but i might as well reply here. i think usually you PM a seller on aliwangwang before buying anything to check the details.

>本品....運費
If you are in Shanghai, domestic shipping (through kuai di) is 6Y. If you are in other parts of, I assume, Mainland, kuaidi is 12Y.

>港澳..發送
HK, Macau and Taiwan buyers do not purchase the shipping fee, please choose Shunfeng Express and it will be shipped directly to you.
SF Express is another courier company and they handle shipments from within mainland China to other Chinese places (like, HK Macau TW SG m'sia) I've had pretty good experiences with SF but i don't know how well they do in Taiwan

It sounds like you shouldn't purchase the shipping listing. Did you try choosing SF over the default KD when purchasing the dress? unfortunately the best thing to do is PM them on aliwangwang. I heard that KL is kinda uncommunicative and they don't have good customer service, but i think you're covered by alipay and the worst that could happen is that you'll be refunded. I'm still experimenting with how to buy from TB without an SS and I've not produced any results yet, just lurking some singaporean forums and reading them talk about it. I have no actual experience doing this so maybe my information is wrong. Since you seem to have some connections in Taiwan you should ask some Taiwanese about it.

I got some tops from there. The cotton ones wrinkle if you sneeze at them, but are otherwise actually quite decent under JSKs. I also bought the college style bow blouse, which is quite nice for the price and the cheapest of its kind I've found so far on taobao.

It really is too fucking big though and pettis actually are supposed to sit at the waist and not the hips because that way the weight of the petti itself would pull it down, like the little dipper pettis do it in my case.

Huh. I have the same problem to an extent but I usually treat it as an underskirt and wear another petti under it. The petti buoys it up, so I don't have a problem when I put the skirt above it.

>> No.7311396

>>7306139
The quality is fine for that price. The fabric is really soft. There are a few loose threads and some weird sewing at some places but overall the sewing seems nice and durable. It's not like the skirts will fall apart or anything after wearing them for a few times. The skirts are very heavy though, so you have to layer them in order to make them more fluffy.

I also took a few pictures of the skirts if you need some closer views of the construction (turned out too big, I had to upload them manually).

My suggestion: take a thick string. Poke a small hole in the waistband and thread the string (or ribbon) all the way through. Create a drawstring. It will be easier than a real alteration and since it is an underskirt it won't matter if there is a small hole with a bow.
I personally would stick a grommet on the hole or whip stitch the edges to prevent fraying.

Basically, there's 3 sleeve options. The difference is the level of extravagance and amount of lace on the sleeves. Option 1 is the most extravagant. That Baidu page had pictures of what exactly the 3 options were, but it doesn't appear to be working anymore. I believe the one in the model pictures is option 3, and the one on the dream form is option 1. Option 2 is somewhere in the middle, but I can't remember the exact details off hand.

Where can I find these shoes on Taobao?

>> No.7317315

I'm putting together an taobao order, so they can ship it to me after chinees new year.
but a lot of dresses I put on there, who are still in stock at that moment. all go over stock over night. I've missed 3 dresses because of it.

does it has something to do with chinees new year, or am I out of luck? They are mori dresses btw, no idea if that makes any difference.

they'll probably come back once the shop's back from vacation. i think it's to prevent people from buying too many dresses during their nearly-month-long holiday, and they'll have too much work to clear when they come back

Both are around the 95$ range. I also found http://usstore.marimekko.com/apparel/CT-Platform-Mansikka-130.asp
The real deal, on sale for 45$, so if you're a size 6, you're in luck, because that's the only size left. I am not.

Look at the shipping costs listed on the SS site, then add everyone's items total weight together and it will give you the total, then you can divide it up via everyones total item weight.

example:

the whole order is 2.5 kg and the site says it will be~ 60 total, if 1 persons's items are 1 kg another's 0.5 kg and another's 0.7 kg and another's kg 0.3 kg how much will each person have to spend if the total is 60?

So the cost of the items and shipping were refunded.

Now there's a new problem. I reordered the items that were lost. ok.
I added some more items to the order. ok.
said items were then declared Out Of Stock, according to Happy Buy. ok. fine. that's happened before. lots of times.
I cancel the orders. ok.
shipping cost for the canceled order was not returned. Why?

so here's the track of events.
1) building an order
2) started small with some definite buy items. everything goes fine
3) add some larger items to maximize shipping costs. everything goes fine.
4) add some smaller knick nacks to round off shipping
5) happy buy tells me those items aren't fully paid for and asks for me to pay domestic shipping costs.
6) balance deductions clearly show shipping was already paid for
7) exchange 6 emails before Happy Buy finally agrees that domestic shipping was paid for
8) Happy Buy then say that an item from the seller is actually more than listed price and asks for more money
9) exchange 3 emails to confirm that they are purchasing the correct item. Happy Buy finally agrees that the original listed price is correct, and the amount I originally paid was correct
10) happy buy declares that the items for that order are Out Of Stock
11) cancel items. cost of items and shipping is returned
12) submit all items in my warehouse to happy buy for delivery
13) happy buy tells me that they lost some of my items
14) reorder said items. happy buy states items bought.
15) add some knick knacks again (same ones as before. different seller.
16) happy buy says items are out of stock
17) cancel items from said seller whose items happy buy says are out of stock
18) domestic shipping cost charged for the knick knacks is not returned to my balance.
19) send email asking why shipping cost for the ordered items was not returned
20) waiting for reply

lets see how this continues.

Has anyone had issues with New York customs?

I used to live in California and would make big orders from China all the time. I recently moved and my package went through NY. Nothing brand name or even close, just very basic black clothing. It got shipped back to TBS. I had my agent check over the package to make sure a seller didn't include any gifts that couldn't be shipped. No issues found, and I had it sent to another address in Japan.

I made another order in the US, again with nothing shady, and it looks like I'm out of luck.

> January 17, 2014 , 4:38 pm Processed Through Sort Facility
> Inbound Into Customs
> January 21, 2014 , 8:54 am Inbound Out of Customs
> January 21, 2014 , 9:40 am Arrived at Sort Facility
> January 21, 2014 , 9:41 am Processed Through Sort Facility

If I remember correctly this is exactly what happened last time. It just said processed through sort facility for a few weeks until it arrived back in China. I called USPS last time and of course they were useless.

I'm just baffled at why this keeps happening. Pic related, types of clothes I'm ordering. Even if it happens to be a knockoff it's hardly something that would raise flags. If this package doesn't go through I've wasted around $150 on shipping.

I'm a bit early to panic since it's only been a little under 2 days, but the updates have stopped coming. This is exactly what happened before.

USPS can't tell me what's going on so I was hoping someone here might have an idea.

Does anyone else know where I can get a cosplay like this? I was particularly looking at this one because it was more full and looked nice. Though, the store took it off of their listing and won't be restocking it at all.

I've actually looked there after they pulled it but they don't have the one that I want sadly.

My order just came today! Everything's surprisingly good quality.
I played for my order on the 13th, it shipped out on the 16th and arrived two days ago on the 21st. Unfortunately because I weather I wasn't able to pick it up from the post office until today.
I'm very pleased with everything. all of the wigs are very soft and very good quality. The cosplay wigs especially are very thick.
I can take pictures/review anything if anyone wants.

can you review the crowns and the sailor moon bag please?

>> No.7324925

>>7324907
Sure!
>crowns
They're pretty nice quality for the price. They're pretty big, about 3 inches in diameter, 2 1/2 inches tall. They're made out of plastic, but it's a very thick, sturdy plastic.
There's two alligator clips on the bottom hot glued on.
The plush part of the crown is very nice and soft.
One of the crowns came with the top part slightly loose, but it's not going to fall apart or anything
Overall I'd give them a 4.5/5

>bag
I'm pretty pleased with this bag. It feels very sturdy and the design is printed on very nicely. You can't fit too much in it, and it doesn't really open up very much. I broke one of the clasps to the strap while putting it on, but it's still completely usable.
Overall I'd say it's a 4/5

Let me know if you want any pictures of anything.

Here you go!
In the top right picture you can kind of get a better idea of what I mean by the not opening much thing.

The chinese term for fursuits would be 兽装 just in case if someone ever asks but there are hardly any at Taobao.
