I am pretty new to Taobao, soon I place my second order, but I am a bit lost in some stuff, so I have some questions.

Does anyone know a store or a listing for bows (specially if they have details such as gems, etc), for blouses? I tried to search but I had some trouble.

And finally, I am planning to get a wig too, there is a lot of them but I don't know too much about the quality of the wig so is there a reliable shop for those? I did some research but it is just to make sure.

Fowarding service is basically a middle man group that orders stuff for you, ship it to their warehouse or site to go to, then ship it to you.

Testing out the forwarding service, put in a modest order yesterday of 11 items for about $80 (shipping to forwarding service included but not to me yet). Didn't want to go overboard in case anything went wrong. Just wondering, on average how big are your orders? I'm wondering if I played it too safe and it's not going to be worth my shipping money. 5 items have shipped so far from the sellers, hopefully the rest will ship within the next day. Will update with my forwarding experience and shipping costs in the future if anyone's interested.

Nah, I was going to do the same -- small, unimportant order for testing the waters. Not funny to lose a $200 order in one go while using a new service that hasn't got all its kinks worked out yet.

I'm going to wait until March, though. Need to travel soon, which means I can't receive my things, and I get back just in time for China New Year to begin.

Please help. I'm a shoe size 8 (USA) and all the shoe size conversion charts says I would be a size 39.5~40 (CHINA), or 24.5cm.

I didn't think to measure my foot and I bought a size 40 (CHINA) pair of shoes since technically I should be a 39.5 according to the charts, so it should be okay correct? But they don't fit!

Apparently my feet are actually 25.5cm when I tried to measure them. How do I manage to fit into size 8 (USA) shoes, and sometimes even size 7.5? Did I measure my foot wrong because apparently I should be a size 9 (USA) according to the charts!

So that means I am size 41 or 42 (CHINA)? But in the archives some people said they are size 8 (USA) and buy size 40 (CHINA) and it fits them. How come it does not fit me? Is it just the individual shoe or should I start buying size 41 or 42 (CHINA)?

The problem is many cute shoes stop size at 39 or 40. I just want cute shoes.

Thank you for your time.

Has anyone else ever received items with a really unpleasant smell? A few months ago I bought some knit cardigans that were super stinky. It's a persistent, kind of artificial smell, probably something the items were treated with so they wouldn't get eaten by bugs or something. It sure smells poisonous.
Washing the smaller cardigan twice and airing it out a little got all of the smell out, but the heavy sweater is still practically unwearable. I've washed it countless times with gentle detergent (because that's all I have) and often air it out on the balcony but it's not doing much.

But... what problem? How temporarily? I managed to email them and asked what the best way is to proceed from here and whether they've actually bought anything yet. If they haven't bought anything then I could cancel my order and ask for a refund, but if some of the items are already underway to their warehouse then it gets a little more complicated.

I always wear size US8. This is my first pair of taobao shoes that I got size CN40. Maybe it was just a special case of the shoes I bought being too small and I will normally fit in size CN40 like all the other size US8 people?

I really don't want to buy more taobao shoes and then I will find that they don't fit. But the shoes I want only go up to size CN40.

Hey US anons, when your tracking finally enters the country, passes customer, and says "The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later." does that mean it's nearby and about to be delivered to your home in the next day or so?
Because if it is either my package is being delivered to the wrong side of the country or I have the wrong tracking. Usually my packages go directly from China to Chicago but this time it stopped in California and gave me that tracking update. I'm getting worried.

I don't really trust charts that compare US shoe sizes to whichever other country's.

I didn't really look at the chart. I just went with what some people in the archives said about US8 usually being a CN40. CN40 is for 24.5cm feet according to their chart but for some reason when I measure my feet I measure 25.5cm. Am I measuring my feet wrong because if I am 25.5cm there should be no way I fit into US8 I think........ and that's what I always wear. And sometimes I wear US7.5 also.

Forget all that you're thinking about how US8 will be CN40. You may be a "40" for some seller and the next size up for others. What I'm saying is to always compare your cm measurement and not whether you're a 7/8 or 40. As for proper measuring, take a piece of paper, put your foot on it, mark the top of your big toe and the back of your heel and measure. I guess you can round down for a snug fit and up for a looser fit but just in case your seller has a rep of sizing smaller you can round up. Hope this helps.

It's basically a gift card kind of thing you can charge your alipay account with. There is no extra fee unlike if you use credit card. I live in Australia and recently our post offices started selling them (though in the form of a really long receipt with the redemption code on it).

If any Aussies are interested you can ask your post office about them. If the person at the counter has no idea what you're talking about ask to talk to the manager (I had to do that when I bought mine).

But got this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w6939208-7833088742.1.Lb0OVz&id=39909753771

I told spreenow about it, telling them they sent me the wrong product and they replied telling me "it's just a small color difference. That's normal. The seller said so." Since they don't want to admit fault, is there a way I can get them to fix this?

>> No.7934310

Tell them that they are wrong, there is a clear design difference and that you want a refund or exchange or whatever. Be really insistent and just generally be an unhappy and upset customer until they give in.

You're 9.5US and wear a 41CN? That's so weird then. I wonder why I can't fit into 40CN when I'm 7.5-8US. Maybe the seller sent the wrong pair or their sizing is just weird. Maybe I will order 41CN for now to be safe, but there goes all the cute shoes I want to purchase. I will measure my foot first though. Thank you!

Tell them it is a total pattern difference, not a colour difference. Like other anons said, upload pics. Insist that they are completely different tights. Did they send you any messages regarding them?

Hello anons, I just want to confirm something with you. The highlighted portion in my pic is the domestic shipping cost correct?

I just want to confirm since I'm buying 4 of those things and Bhiner is trying to tell me domestic shipping is 3.37 USD. That's a little more than 20 CNY. I find it hard to believe that with combined shipping for the items it would come to more than double what it would cost to ship one of them via EMS. Am I approaching this incorrectly or is Bhiner really trying to overcharge me? (Previously they charged me 7 USD for items from a store that provided free shipping.)

>> No.7934540

>>7934528
Some SS have flat shipping rates. I know lots of stores on taobao will have just 5CNY for their shipping but my SS will always charge me 15CNY regardless.

Well the cosmic replica should fit most with exception to length since it isn't very shapely.
If you want to resell it then use ebay or tumblr, but look at lacemarket and see how much a real one is going for, I don't think real cosmics are very expensive so don't overcharge and you'll probably sell it just fine.
Also, make sure to specify that it's a replica.

Does anyone know where to buy any cute JSKs or OPs that are chocolate themed?

And no replicas; I already know where I can find them.

I'd like to know how that went. I'm looking at other services' shipping costs, and starting to wonder if Pruany is actually charging the same EMS rates as other shops, but lying about the discount and inflating the weight to compensate. Which fucks anybody who wants to use undiscounted SAL/Air in the ass.

The XL size says "包郵" which, according to the spreadsheet and google translate, indicates that it's free domestic shipping. Only the XL size has that though. Did they make a mistake or is it truly free shipping? I wanted to buy size L but if XL is free shipping I'll take it.
