I just got my package from transbao, and here's basically a rundown:
>ss will ask to add you on facebook and possibly skype
>the ss will contact you about every single thing of your order. I'm not exaggerating, she messaged me on skype/facebook every day updating me on the status of my items.
>when you ship items out for international shipping, if you have 3-13 kg of items, they will add around 15% of the weight of your items to the total to account for packaging. This may seem like it's a bit extreme, but they actually do use that much packaging
>Items are mostly unwrapped by them for pictures and inspection before sending out
>every item in my package was rewrapped by them two or three times over. Unless the item in question is extremely fragile, it has a 99% chance that it will not be damaged because their packaging is that intense.
>It's super annoying to get their packaging off the items because they wrap it with some kind of plastic that's similar to saran wrap, but thicker. Kind of a pain to cut through.
>if you want to get the weight down a bit, ask if they can lighten up on the packaging; you honestly do not need that much packaging for one item unless it is super duper breakable
>used Fedex shipping option, package arrived 6 days including memorial day weekend
>didn't have to sign package off, it was left at my door

basically super attentive service, extreme packaging, good overall

The thing is, I don't really have that. I'm going to be moving and starting school in autumn, so I should be saving my money, but I really want to get some new, cute clothes for school that will last me the winter since I don't have much of that and haven't purchased clothes in a while. Do you think I should still go ahead with it?

Step 8: If the color is too light, repeat steps 5-7. Do the same for red.

I don't really like a lot of the ones I find in stores here (and since it's not February no one is selling suits anymore jfc) and the few I find are very expensive. I'd sew one myself but it sounds too tricky for my skill level

Pic related, I want this in my life

I'll just warn you, if you have any ass at all it will be hard for you to fit. The largest part of my hips is 34 inches and even though the rest of my body fits in the S size I bought perfectly, the swim suit is super tight on my butt. I find this just to be a problem in general for clothing from china

I just placed an order with Transbao. Their communication is amazingly fast (and they even apologized to me for not replying to one of my e-mails until 2 hours later. I've had to wait a whole day between e-mails with TBS so 2 hours is godsend.)

Perhaps try contacting them to see if late July is a doable due date? I'm hoping to get my order by early July. I imagine the only thing that would impact your deadline is the fact that you need custom sizing, which Transbao can't do much about.

Shit, I'm worried it'll take my package that long, if not longer to get here. It's been quite a while since it shipped. Never skimping out on shipping costs again. At this rate, my next order that won't even be shipped out until next month might get here sooner.

I fucking love my SS though, she's so nice. The reason she doesn`t want me to buy it is because the seller doesn`t even have proof pictures up yet, and she contacted the seller (who later said that they don`t even know when it`ll be ready). She doesn`t want me to regret it later. :c

Transbao usually doesn`t do reserves, because it`s a bit of a hassle.
But my SS talks to her co-workers for me and usually pulls through for me, it's the best.

The sizing is okay for me! although the bottoms were tight, i ordered the L swimsuit. (in venus/orange obviously)
Not sure if it helps but I'm an AU 12-14 on bottoms?
So i wasn't expecting them to fit perfectly, although the material of the skirt and undies are really stretchy, so it's not uncomfortable.

Although i will note, the skirt is super short and doesn't cover my ass aha;
But I'm also 173cm tall so to be expected i suppose.

For the top, it's a little big on me in the cups, but on the label it says 80C, so i presume that's the chinese size bra that comes with them?
I'm a 14B/C and it fits.

For the bows you can take them on and off, and everything is really well made, and there aren't stray threads everywhere or anything digging in. You can attach the butt bow on the undies and on the skirt, there's a hook on both pieces for it.

I tried putting water on it, but i didn't want to soak it straight away, but its pretty thick fabric, and double layered so i think you should be okay? It has spots for padding inserts, but they're easy to get in/out as pictured.

Also, the colours are a little paler than in the picture i posted, but they are still pretty nice (although i just checked the taobao page, and venus is shown as being paler, so that's fine! it's accurate to the photos posted towards the bottom)

Hope that helps?

Taobao direct orderer here.

I made an order that was "9kg" from a whole bunch of shops. This included the packaging it came in and everything(whatever the shipper sent it in, it came to me like that, the shipping was still cheaper, but if you think about it, if you used a ss, you could have gotten more items in with the weight for the boxes that were included. so I still think that SS's are a good thing.

I'm not sure if you can actually tell them to remove the boxes and stuff... so not really too sure. But otherwise, at this moment I think SS's are still good and on par.

Super sorry in advance for wall of text, I got pretty rambly.

>>7601517
I never wrote a detailed review but I'll do one now, and I'll use the SS sheet to guide me on what to write:

Notes:
- decent english
- order using purse which you can add money to, and a shopping cart. you can use money from your purse whenever.
- doesn't use paypal, uses credit card/western union/money gram
- if ordering multiple items per store, they only charge domestic shipping once based on the first item you put into the shopping cart (shipping for additional items are free in shopping cart). If first item is small and rest are big items, they will make small adjustments to domestic shipping price by taking some money from your purse. (Compared to other SS, this saves a lot of domestic shipping cost)
- in addition to 5% ss fee, there is a 1 yuan fee per different item you order (if you order 2 of the same item, it`s only 1 yuan)
- usually don`t do reserves, but I`ve talked to my SS and worked things out before

Pros:
- order summary page, shopping cart system, "my purse" system are very easy to use
- takes multiple pictures of every item (they will take item out of package if it is easily removed to take picture, then put item back into package), including a picture of it's weight on the scale
- can request to include or exclude original packaging (whatever the original seller ships in)
- EXTREMELY fast and detailed communication
- infinite warehouse holding time
- can buy from other non-taobao sources
- very good packaging for final international ship, will wrap especially delicate items with lots of cellophane wrap.
- can combine as many orders as you want, and you can specifically chose which items you want to ship
>pic related, just check off which items you want to ship

Cons:
- sometimes cancels item in an order without giving detailed explanation (but they WILL promptly explain if you ask)

Fixed some stuff and added some stuff.

>English Capability
Decent.

>Forms of Payment
They DO NOT use paypal.

>Shipping Methods
EMS 72% off is FALSE. in reality, EMS is 51% off.
I actually don't know why they say that, I asked my SS before but I forgot the answer.
I'll ask her again.

>Take picture of items
it`s 1 yuan per same item/listing. Multiple pictures are automatically added (about 3-4). Also includes a picture of the weight of your item displayed on a scale.

>Stock Reliability
Good, if it's urgent would definitely message SS and they'll give priority.

>Domestic Shipping Costs
as explained above
>if ordering multiple items per store, they only charge domestic shipping once based on the first item you put into the shopping cart (shipping for additional items are free in shopping cart). If first item is small and rest are big items, they will make small adjustments to domestic shipping price by taking some money from your purse. (Compared to other SS, this saves a lot of domestic shipping cost)

>Ways of Contact
They don't really use web message. They just email you back when you send a web message lol.
My agent as actually added me on skype, it`s super convenient. She`s also VERY communicative, responds in less than 5 minutes without fail.

>Marking Down Packages
just ask

>Combine Multiple Orders
Yes, covered in last post
>can combine as many orders as you want, and you can specifically chose which items you want to ship, last post pic related

>ADDITIONAL notes
In addition to your "shopping cart" list, you can also move items from your shopping cart to a seperate wishlist (and then move it back whenever you want), so you can save items that you want to buy later!

the original invite codes given out by transbao all end in 123. the ones that don't end in 123 like >>7602691 are just people trying to profit off your purchases

What SS are you using? They must love you for all the business. Or hate you for all the hassle. Who knows.

I want so bad but buyers are already complaining about the fabric (I guess it's too thin like their galaxy series?) and one girl's bow wasn't sewn right and opened at the seams.

The tights aren't really black, more of a dark grey, even when unstretched, and the greeness of the print is pretty noticeable to me. It doesn't show up as much in these photos, but I think you can kind of tell

Taobaoring.
This is pretty small compared to my business orders.

Shopping services are businesses, they're glad to get orders.

Sure, sometimes certain things (cancelled items, crappy sellers, etc) must be a pain in the ass, but I don't really get why people worry about 'hassling' their SS.

No, it's an end payment page.

No specified release date, but it's a summer set so probably in the near future. Bookmark or favourite to show interest, which they'll use to gauge the release.

Did anyone had problems with Transbao this week? I'm having problems contacting my agent in Transbao.. Last Friday, I was about to ship my items out, but then that same morning, my agent said "Don't make interntional shipping order", and "Keep in mind don't top up!".. After that, she hardly replies to me. Then this weekend, she said she's a liuttle busy thats why she isnt replying, the this Sunday, she said she will message me if i can order by Monday. Monday came and I'm getting worried so I just asked her, "Do you have office today?" She said "No" and that's the last reply I got was on Monday Im getting worried because my orders are like 4000+CNY and it's supposed to be all ready to be shipped by now. My clients are waiting for the order but since that my agent is not replying to any of my messages, I'm getting worried that my shop would have bad reputation if I don't make action to this. Now I'm having problems to those who needs their items supposedly next week and am spending a lot. I'm thinking of buying from yoybuy.. But my money is still not enough. Seriously, I would spend 8000+CNY or 1290USD because i have to double up the orders because Transbao is not responding.. Any one know what is really happening to transbao? When i still have contact to my agent, she doesnt reply when I ask this. And second, will you recommend yoybuy? Because I'm planning to order by Monday from yoybuy if Transbao would not accommodate me.. but seriously, I want a refund from them. Or if not possible just to ship out my items so I can just resell the items and my money won't really go to waste. I'm very worried that I've been scammed by them. What do you all think? >__<
