I know this is a taobao thread, but does anyone have any advice on comparing clothing prices on aliexpress?

I wanted to go through pink saviour but i saw they had like hundreds of transactions so i went to their "partner" shop linked in the item descrip, in the end i bought from this listing:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=37490981491&
it's exactly the same as pink saviour's though, or so the description claims.

Also I'm using forwarder and not SS so I pmed the shop owner to talk about sizing. I bought down this option [上面没有的尺寸备注内衣] and told her the sizes I want. She said she'll "note it down on her own end"

for reference pinksaviour's link is here:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=37503276484&_u=43j5q6ff874

>> No.7502707

>what happens when the listing has no shipping mentioned?

Some of the major SS have a set shipping rate regardless of what the listing actually says. TBS is 15 Yuan for example. If they have a set fee, list that. If in doubt, just leave shipping blank, and they'll sort it out.

>Also what if a price is crossed out, what would i put on an order form?

The crossed out price you sometimes see is usually because there's a VIP price available. Most SS aren't VIPs for any shops, so just list the crossed out price. If there's a sale on however, check when the sale will end. If theres still a few days, list the sales price. Mind you, some SS have apparently deliberately ignored orders until after the sale was over, so the price (and their commission) was higher.

Think about it... Do the math.
Sometimes it's cheaper with eBay, sometimes Taobao.
Remember you can't just use Google to convert x Yuan into your currency, as each Taobao agent uses their own form of conversion. Although Google translates 1 CNY = 0.160 USD, a lot of shopping services make 1 CNY = 0.168 USD... Might not seem like much, but it definitely adds up.
Then you have to times the percentage fee (5%-10% depending on who you use), domestic shipping (15 yuan), and think about how much internatioinal shipping will cost you.

I don't know about original poster - taobao search gives you the option to sort by how recently items were posted, and the very first search result with default search options doesn't appear to be the first one posted, just the most popular. it's usually safest to go with the shop that has the most number of positive reviews + transactions; when the item popped up for sale isn't necessarily as important (unless it's the original maker/designer, which doesn't really apply in the case of replicas)

Ali, ebay, and taobao for mostly normalfag clothes and cosplay.
For lolita, some taobao indie quality is up to par with brand, such as KL and R-Series.
I think only a small portion of anons in these threads buy replicas though, in terms of prints.
Although I do know that replica bags are pretty common, replica bag quality is almost as good as their original, as brand specializes in clothes and less on their bags, shoes, etc.
(Plus, why spend that extra $100 on a brand bag when you can use it to save up for a brand dress instead?)

Oosp, posted before I saw you had responded as well. Anyway, it's a lot cheaper to get on taobao when you buy in bulk or don't mind waiting a month to get your parcel.

When I made my very first taobao order I got like 5 items and spent 60 on shipping (EMS) so I paid $165 for everything which included http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20226184266 and the Galaxy Seifuku. After totaling up how much I spent on shipping since it was a small order I did all by myself, it did cost a lot. But think of it this way. Some places charge 50-60 for the Galaxy Seifuku (most StoreEnvy) and 40-60 for the winged backpack. That's also not including shipping, which could cost you another 15-20 as well. Ultimately if you either get a bigger order together with friends or are ok with slower shipping, it's a lot cheaper to buy it on taobao. Not to mention, their rating systems are more reliable, I find.

However, if you're only gonna buy like a dress or two, I'd say stick with ebay though sometimes you get what you pay for. I refuse to buy another winged backpack anywhere else then where I got it from because I've seen such horrid replicas, I'm scared if I search for a liiiittle bit cheaper, I'll get a shitty one slapped in my face that I won't even touch...

And thanks for your interest in my order! And trust me I'm dying to see that Persona Male Uniform be rocked in person.

Don't apologize for being curious! I too like knowing answers to questions I have. It was about 52 dollars (would've been a little cheaper but we literally missed a slight sale by just a day) not including shipping our entire box.

I've never been hit with customs, and if I do get hit with it I guess I'll deal with it. This is my first group order and I highly suggest it. Makes shipping a lot more affordable.

Since everyone didn't order the same amount of stuff, I just took all the fees TBR gave each item and had the person who's item it was the fee. Pretty easy, just have to convert prices and stuff.

they will be back soon, since their last order session ended at the end of march and they usually open up orders every couple of months. Go ahead and make an account and sign up for their newsletter, and you will get an email when they open up again. ordering internationally is easy, just go via the cart, you'll get an invoice a couple days later, and then they will mail you the items in a couple of weeks (everything is made to order). And the owner speaks great english and is very kind. I own two headdresses I ordered from the shop and the amount of detail on them, the fabrics, and the construction are just great.

im iffy on new shopping services, especially with rates like that. a bit too good to be true imo. and i usually do moderately sized packages, something that'll get marked down easily without a second glace. i do know people ask their shopping service to split packages if it's too large.

if by clearance rate, you mean what we'd get taxed on, if it's marked as a gift and looks like it'd be a gift, you can get away with anything $60 and under without being taxed. for purchased items marked as such, anything under $20 dollars won't get taxed. which, if you want to risk it, ask your ss to mark your package down so if you have to pay taxes, it won't be much.

Oh, and most transactions should take place on taobao. Don't do anything that involves a direct bank transfer, and you'll probably want an SS to deal with the transaction. If anybody needs a second hand SS I can help, but I can only arrange for shipment within China. This might help because taobao SSs might not be familiar with lolita trades or they might not be willing to sell overseas.

In my opinion, Aliexpress is more trustworthy than ebay.
The site takes more responsibility for the arrival of your item and your satisfaction.
When you pay (say $20 for a dress), AE holds that $20 for you until you confirm on the site that you received the item. The seller doesn't get your money until you tell AE that your goods have arrived.

While this is true, aliexpress is much more likely to side with a seller than ebay/paypal is, so if for example an item arrives but is unsatisfactory in some way, aliexpress may decide in the shop's favor especially if the seller wants you to pay return shipping on an item or whatever if you're in a dispute.

>>7512603
They talk about the quality, and most girls will list how new it is. 9成新 is 90% new, don't go for anything listed lower than 7成新, anything at 9.5成新 is likely to be only tried on. 全新仅试穿 is brand new only tried on, 全新带吊牌 is new with tags, 全新没吊牌 is new without tags. They might also list other defects like 染色 - dye bleed, 钩丝 - pulled thread etc. You should also ask for proof pictures and inquire about the condition when you begin the trade.

HALP! take 2

Trying to find dodgy/derptastic/hilarious body pillows or at least body pillow covers for an upcoming birthday.

I did try 抱枕 but nothing comes up.
Also need translation for "Captain America", "Winter Soldier", "Loki" or "Avengers"
Suggestions appreciated.

It's for a friend's upcoming birthday - her mom died within a week of her last birthday so the need for comedy is high.
Seal gif in appreciation of any assistance

Has anyone bought this particular wig from The Second Nachname before? Pic related, it's Saber Alter's wig. May I ask for a review on the colour? Is it as light as how their picture is? Thank you.

What's the time frame on your Persona 4 cosplay? My SS (TBR) told me it'd take 20-25 working days to custom make. I look at the cossky listing but I don't see where they got that.

On a related note, does anyone know how long TBR takes to ship out once all items are received and shipping is paid for?
