doubt youll get it in time, I had my order get processed for abour 4 weeks before it was even posted

I ordered these from there not too long ago and I'd say they took a little less than a month to arrive. They had a lot of loose threads and some other minor issues that were easy to fix, but they have proven to be good shoes for only about $11. I stepped pretty deep into a slush puddle the other night and my feet never got wet.

>>7376255
Everytime ive ordered it took about a month... but it may depend where in the world you are

bump

>>7376255
They take 24 hours to process your payment, and then depending on who you buy from, they have a set window for how long their 'processing' takes which can be anywhere from a week to almost a month.
And then of course shipping which could take a few weeks.
Followed by the potential for receiving the wrong item or the wrong color.

Good prices, but not good on a strict schedule. You're out of luck, OP. I doubt it'll get to you in time. (But you can hope and order anyways. Maybe include a note on the order that you need it ASAP?)

I'm getting ready to set up shop and ordered a few things from some different shops in bulk. One has a processing window of 7 days and the other 21 days or so. The race is on to see which items arrive first.

>>7379925
Update, my item with the longest processing time shipped within the past few hours, less than 48 hours after I ordered it. Maybe there's hope, OP.

IDK how the rest of my order will go but everything has been shipped and I got the glow-in-the-dark stars in the mail! 2 are in-transit (1 in NYC) and the rest are either pre-shipment or not found on the USPS site.

I'm in Canada, ordered about 30 things from aliexpress, and 70% of the time the stuff comes in about a month or a little less. 20% of the time about 30-40 days, and the remaining 10% is three weeks or less. So there is hope!
Also all items have an express shipping option for about 20-30 bucks, why didn't you use that/ ask the seller to change it to that for the remaining items?

are there any milk replica purses on aliexpress? Or anywhere besides taobao?

>>7380721
not milk replica but closest replica i can find.. without looking in "lolita" since there are plenty of heart shaped bags

is aliexpress more expensive than taobao?

>>7381460
Yes. It's more convenient, because it's all in English, so you're cutting out the middle man of finding an agent, but it is more expensive.

>>7381460
If youre only ordering a few things, and they have free shipping, it can be less expensive. It depends.

>>7381460
It's definitely cheaper if you're in Europe, because everything has free shipping, so you can order one thing at a time and never have to pay customs (and everything is sent by registered airmail, which doesn't get hit so often anyway).

The base product price is a bit higher, though (often about double what it is one Taobao), so if you're in a non-customs country and you want to order tonnes of stuff, Taobao is your best bet.

I have ordered from them twice and both times were very bad experiences. The first time they sent the wrong item. The second time they put the order in "shipped"status, even posted a tracking #, but then emailed me 3 days later saying it was out of stock and asking me to pick a different item of equal out lesser value from the same store. They did not offer a refund. It took me 2 months to get my money back.

DO NOT SHOP THERE YOU WILL REGRET IT

>>7382833
...except most of us have and everything went well?

>>7382833
Fresh off the boat from tumblr I assume.

Huh. I see what I'm guessing is a replica of one of my dream dresses there.

Does processing time mean that it'll take that many days to actually ship?

My duvet cover came in the mail today for twin size bed and it makes my room look 10x better. The pillowcases are nice if you have the flat basic pillows, but my poofy pillows are getting smudged inside. It also came with a top sheet of the same pattern.

>>7383235
Yes

>>7386238
I suggest you wash it first, anon.

Recs on good wig stores on taobao? reasonable price for good quality? I'm willing to shell out a little more for better quality but there's so many different sellers that use the same stock photos (same with ebay) that idk who to choose. I assume they typically take from taobao anyways though?

>>7389615
Definitly this. It's not unusual to get bed bugs from items like this when you order from China...

>>7389699
omg I goof'd I meant "Recs on good wig stores on AliExpress?"

>>7389699
Just look for reviews for the specific item and then make sure the seller has decent reviews, too. Most (all?) of these sellers have Taobao shops as well, and yeah, most all of the stock photos will be carried over from Taobao to AliExpress to eBay.

But the prices aren't too significantly different from eBay--I might just buy from there if I were you.

>>7379925
This anon again. My item with the shortest processing time finally shipped after my repeatedly messaging the seller. Was worried he forgot/would let it time out so he didn't have to worry about a dispute later. I'm hoping for a good product so I can leave a nice review so everyone is happy.

>>7386238
liiiink?

>>7376264
omg those boots are adorable! do you still have the link?

Ordered these things at random times. The bag has already arrived and I have to say, I'm more than pleased! Its beautiful, sturdy, good quality, etc. And doesn't have that weird factory smell. I'm in love.
The other stuff is a result of all that positivity~ hoping the rest arrive just as amazing.

>>7390984
bag and dress link?

>>7389615
Yeah, not just bed bugs but any leftover chemicals or dyes you may want to take care of just in case the cheap manufacturer didnt
>>7382946
Are you gonna leave us hangin'?

Fuck you.

Why post this without any links?

I bought three of the grimoire replica tights that someone linked in here and they are shit! First of I can't get them past my knees? The print is almost not visible when you wear (haha no) them because they are stretched out. I ended up cutting them all into socks but they are not long enough to be in a garter belt so I'm trying to put elastics in them. Waste of money. The title said womans tights but i doubt even an asian person could wear these. also The seller is not answering.

some of the things I'm waiting right now.

Any cute cheap dresses? anything with long sleeves or short poofy sleeves.

That grumpy cat shirt! Every time I see it it's one size only and it looks too small for me and my long arms.

>>7391483
My god it's so cheap and I want it.
But I probably won't use it since I'm a matching freak and it doesn't match with a lot of things I wear.

>but $10 tho

Cheaper listing of the same clock bag, but with less colours: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/networks-fashionable-casual-clock-pocket-watch-one-shoulder-cross-body-women-s-handbag-3376/1634693956.html

Also, I thought this bag could be quite cute for classic. There's a couple,of different clock face designs: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013-spring-vintage-cute-clock-2-illust-women-s-print-handbag-small-bag-handbag/1450582650.html

Dem shoes. Link pls?

Link to the Rilakkuma pants, please?

>>7391226
that's what you get for buying cheap replicas.

>>7391713
you can tell that you're a teen because putting 'fuck you' on your clothes is totes adorbes right? not completely rude and disrespectful to everyone around you

>>7392429
Agreeing with this. Unless you're in a country where english is not the norm, don't go around wearing offensive clothing near kids with better upbringing.

>>7392429
Not even that person but really? Like there isn't worse things on tshirts than 'fuck you'. It's a piece of clothing, it's not illegal to wear why bother caring what other people think, much less about not being rude to total strangers that probably won't even notice.

Links to peter pan collar blouses that would work for Lolita? I just want a plain white or pink one, preferably short sleeved.

>>7391713

>>7392466
This. The sweater has a swear on it, so what? Its a piece of clothing, its not like anon is going to go around and tell kids to fuck off, right?

Here's my order
>>7381460
It is cheaper to buy normalfags, mass produced stuffs that many taobao shops have a copy of. Even if they increase the price a bit, in the end, the shipping is free, so it doesn't add up to SS service fee and the shipping.
However, when it comes to niche things such as cosplays and j-fashions, I think it's a better idea to just order from taobao instead. I don't know how many taobao shop owners opened their own cosplay shops on ali, but it seems all the j-fashion things on ali are just resellers, and they jack up the price a lot.

>>7396753
I need that cat sweater in my life!!!

Ditto!!

The slippers are cute too...
