Thanks! That one looks really nice but there's no back pictures. I'm just having trouble finding one that doesn't have shitty elastic in the back or the back hole isn't rounded. I may go with the one you linked me though.

Can the person who's in charge of the shop list please update it with the links in the thread?

What's going on with this page? Is it a reservation or just a preview? I can't figure it out.

>>7947788
It's a preview page

Making an order with Bhiner. One of their shipping options is USPS. Has anyone used this shipping method before?

>captcha Highland wastedh

>>7947625
It's translating 'in stock' as spot for some reason, but it should be
1. Black and white
2. White (in stock) and white (reservation)
3. White (reservation), black (in stock), white (in stock)
4. White (in stock)

Just made a small crafts order with Yoybuy. Is anyone else having issues with the website not translating their drop-down menu options when you're adding stuff to your cart?

Anyone on here have any experiences with ywailisi? I'm considering them as the product I want has free shipping within China. Looking reviews up yields massively different results, so I figure I'd turn to a more critical crowd.

I used to use Taobao Now but was wondering if there is a better SS as I have heard Taobao Now has been having issues.

Most of this stuff is mine, but some of it is not. Hopefully everything comes in by Christmas? The bags and foxcherry stuff are going to take a while probably.

>>7947867
It has actually never worked for me in general.

>>7947893
I've used them plenty of times and they are good.

>>7947902
Really? I got it to work once for this order but before they updated the site it worked fine. I'll bring it up because I love Yoybuy but dang that's a hassle.

has anyone seen any reviews of this shop? http://banbeiniunai.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1000126.2.UoVoBl I'm trying to decide if the chocolate rosette replica will be good enough for casual use.

>>7947899

Cute.

Can you link to the shop where you got all the bow bracelets?

And please review the replica AP heart bag when you get it!

>>7947914
Yeah, totally! The bows are from here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=21059200060

My "11/11" order. It started out as a few items but I kept finding more things as I waited for everything to arrive at my SS. Hopefully I don't feel compelled to buy more since I need some of these before Christmas.

>>7947899
Link to pokemon shirt please?

So, some people asked me in the last thread to review my toalice stuff when it came in.

The quality is really, really good. I'm surprised at how nice it is. Everything is so soft and comfortable (pic related). My favourite thing from them was a shirt I bought. The material is insanely nice and very stretchy/form fitting, which is good if you have a large bust like me.
I also got a JSK and coat too and the quality is insanely good. Would recommend and definitely will buy from them in the future, they have such cute stuff.

Some people also asked about the creamy made coat and creamy made CCS jacket. Yeah, I can confirm that they definitely run small. I'm lucky that it still fits ok and it'll look better again cause I wanna lose weight but I still wish I had gotten the next size up. So if you're either tall, busty or plus sized get the XL. Even then I don't really think it will fit plus sized very well, you'd probably have to be just barely plus sized for it to be ok. It's not very long either.
However, the material is really nice and it's well made.
Only complaint with the coat is that the buttons aren't great. They will open randomly. Even if you press that shit in real tight they will still pop open at the slightest movement. I even tried buttoning it when I wasn't wearing it and the same thing happened so it's not a case of it being too small for me or something (even though it sorta sounds that way by the way I wrote it). Really, really annoying, I'm considering replacing them tbh. But the coat is very soft and warm.

new store list spreadsheet anon here, working on it but google drive is being an ass and keeps telling me to retry/refresh and only loads a few tabs. will keep trying though.

Do we have a spreadsheet section for shipping times? I know some anons mentioned how long their packages took across the years, but when I really need to refer to them, I can't find them anymore.

Can I ask the dumbest question there is? I swear this is not bait I'm just retarded and

Yeah, hoping yours turns out alright. I think the main problem is the gap between the two wrist bits was too big.

My SS just refunded me because apparently it's out of stock. However, they claim everything (necklaces, rilakkuma cord ties, etc.) from this seller is out of stock so I'm not sure if it's entirely true or my SS just pissed the seller off somehow

That just cracked me up, what ss do you use?

>not linking taobao directly

>>7948149
Bhiner. First time using them but I wanted to use an SS that would for sure be able to purchase items on 11/11 and I saw in the previous threads that they were accepting last minute orders

>Of course all the items that I bought on 11/11 are STILL on sale now so that was pointless

>>7947963
Sorta. In the FAQ, I list the different shipping methods and what they are about. There is also a chart on there with estimated shipping times (from the buyf/a/g thread).

But there is none for across the years.

>>7947958

s-sorry

I bought too many non-lolita clothes lol

>>7947899
The doge stuff is going to delay your order probably. I ended up having to cancel them because it was going to take an extra 2 weeks.

>>7948482
the bag is made to order as well, so I'm ok with waiting ~2 weeks. hopefully not any longer than that though, I'd like it if stuff was in by around the 20th of December.

>>7948485
What kind of shipping are you planning to use?

>>7948491
EMS

>>7948108
Added some shit from this store into my order.

> mfw I was only supposed to spend ~$200
> mfw my order is now ~$400
> mfw no more spending for me for a while

>>7948482
? Is there something wrong with the store? I wanted to buy doge items too.

Question: Does Taobaotrends normally take a while to answer questions. They were pretty quick about it at first but it's been almost a week since I asked them a question and they haven't replied back. I'm just curious.

>>7948528
Usually not at least in my experience with them.

What SS's offer the VIP price? I cant't seem to find out on the spreadsheet.

>>7947899
Can i get the link to the purple sweater in the right bottom corner?

>>7948092
Source for sweater on the left?

>>7948528
I don't think there's anything wrong, just that my SS asked if I was willing to wait an extra 2 weeks. I need some other stuff in my order right away so I cancelled the doge stuff (it was meant to be a gift anyway)

>>7948558
You won't know unless the SS says they are VIP. Read about the VIP stuff in the FAQ for more details.

>>7948092
I have that sailor pullover but I never know what to wear with it, what I did try though was casualizing it.. I added sneakers (navy blue) and a skirt and leggings, like a casual sailor or something

Interested in yoybuy's new forwarding service but there seems to be not a lot of info on the spreadsheet about it save for 1 anon's post. Can anyone vouch for how accurate their shipping calculator is? As in will they end up tacking on any extra fees? They seem to have similar alipay fees so no real big difference there.

Going to compare it to my taobao forwarding service fees after all my orders arrive. So far it seems like it'd be roughly the same for shipping fees if yoybuy's calculator is correct but they have more shipping options and hold it in their warehouse much longer than taobao's so depending on my total shipping fee in the end I might end up switching for future purchases.

>>7947607
>waiting until after Christmas
Definitely. I'm waiting on an order right now and working on another one, but I'm going to wait until next year to actually place it. It will suck if stuff sells out but I honestly can't be arsed to deal with the postal service during holiday season.

>>7948492
I'd say it will probably take longer than December 20th, especially if you have to wait 2 weeks for items. The mail is always insane in December, there is always a humongous backlog with the postal service. Even right now the mail is starting to get slower.

>>7948652
Oh perfect I have a pair of those, thank you so much for the reccomendation

>>7948652
wait what about if it's cold outside? What would i wear with the shorts

>>7949022
woolen or lined tights ? Preferably matching the top.

>>7947899
Please, link to that purse?
Or heart shaped purses in general

>>7949072
meaning navy blue? Could you give me a good example?

Sorry for being a noob, but is there anywhere besides Aliexpress that I can try to find mori and kawaii inspired stuff without needing a SS? I really can't afford shopping service prices. My couple of items that total to maybe $25 or $30 always comes out to $70-$90 once fees get put on the total. Also, is the markup of items on Aliexpress fair, or unfair?

Pic not really related, just thought it was a cute dress.

>>7949072
>Preferably matching the top.
don't. it will look like you're wearing a leotard

Why did my order go through before I found this?

>>7948899
Is Airparcel faster than EMS this time of year? Or are they all slowed down?

>>7948538
Wonder what's up. I wanted to use a SS instead of a forwarding service because most of the items I want you need personal measurements.

>>7948784
I would love a comparison if you're willing to post later, I ordered on 11/11 from taobao's forwarding to the US and didn't know about yoybuy's forwarding until the day after.

Does anyone have a link to a replica of the Alice and the Pirates cabriolet shoes? I want them so bad T.T

Personally I'd just wear it with stuff I already have, so black denim shorts, navy tights or black fake thigh highs with black or navy converse and a navy beret.
Maybe a black scarf, not sure if it would cut into the collar detail.
Knowing my luck though, none of my navys match.

>>7949723
>black denim shorts, navy tights
I did this actually, exactly. And with the sneakers

>>7949728
I like navy with black as it helps show it up more. Sometimes it just looks black, which annoys me.

I'm not sure how well something like that would go with pastels but I like navy with lavender. Lavender skirt, cream or white tights (the stripes on the top colour) navy sneakers, navy beret (maybe add a bow in the same colour as tights) and some lavender accessories. I actually have lavender hair so it coords well but doesn't help you.

>>7949753
What if you did white thigh high socks (off white), what would you do for the bottom?

>>7949763
Stick to the navy converse probably. I'm just working with what I own though.

>>7949769
I meant to cover your ass (like what color skirt or shorts) because if you do navy blue it might be too navy blue together and then the white looks like it doesn't belong, or would you do black and have like 3 different colors on? Confusing to me.

I said lavender skirt with the cream tights.
Black would work too, 3 colours is fine so long as you work them all in properly, just read what I said for lavender and replace with black.

>>7949804

Sorry for the late reply! But here it is worn. It's kind of hard to see in the pic but it's sorta short, not too bad but any shorter and it would be unwearable. I'm about 5'9. It's a size L btw.

I got a miumiuluo wig lucky pack sort of thing, and I was surprised to see that they gave me what looks like a super long blond wig. From the SS pics, looks like there's a variety of long/short wigs. I hoped there would have been unnatural hair colours, but I can work with natural.

So I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. I measured my feet for shoes for a costume and they're 8.5 inches. When I look around it says that I should be about 35 in Chinese shoe sizes. Though, that goes to a size 5 in women shoe sizes in the US? Though, a good majority of my shoes are 7-7.5. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? Or does it just vary?

>>7950587
Well I'd say that the seller got fucked over, lost product and money.

>>7950664
Do you have a link to the item you want? Might be best to compare it to the shoe sizes on the item chart from your seller.

Chinese go by Euro sizing dont they? If youre a 7 -7.5 US then I think that would convert to 39 - 40

>>7950666
I just checked with Loli-Loli Paradise and she says she is still selling it, so Im not sure. Im hoping not though as I am still desperate to buy it

>>7950668
That would be the thing that it doesn't have a shoe chart. Only chart I found is this

>>7950676
Sorry not a lolita so not very familiar with them but it sounds like it got lost in shipping, unless this is a limited 1 item thing I don't see why they would stop selling.

>>7950680
Wow that's weird, link to your item?

>>7950676
I think the big thing is that nothing seems to match up haha. Even in US conversion I should be a 5 with my feet being 8.5 inches but my shoes are 7. So it's kind of messing me up.

Anyone buy cups from taobao before? How's the quality? I'm afraid of stuff rubbing off as I'm drinking or something.

>>7950676
>Chinese go by Euro sizing dont they? If youre a 7 -7.5 US then I think that would convert to 39 - 40
No way...

I bought four shoes from one store in the same size (39) and one was 1.5cm too big, I have no idea how they measure it. I wish they'd just put cm/inches.

>>7950687
It's this one http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=39612418893

>>7950703
Don't buy things that would involve your mouth touching it.

>>7950710
Couldn't you just tell the seller how long your foot is instead?

>>7950710
Since it's a custom piece you're going to have to tell the seller your body measurements right? Just put down your foot size in cm, they should know which size to get you.

>>7950664
You're measuring your feet wrong. Mine are 9in/23cm, which is a US6, euro/Chinese 36-37. If you're closer to 7-7.5 then that's 9.5in/24-24.5cm/euro 38-39.

>>7950685
It was a reserve listing, so I had to buy it so I would get one. And so if mine is lost then I miss out. Oh well, got the refund, just really disappointed.

>>7950689
Thats really strange, I guess you could always ask for the insole measurement in great desperation?

>>7950708
Seriously? That seems off? I know 39 should convert to 24.5 in Jap sizing and then they both go up from 0.5 millimeters from there, So 25 - 40, 25.5 - 41 and so on. Or thats what the conversion reads in most of my shoes. But I agree, I wish they would just show the actual measurements of length and width and shoe ordering would be significantly easier..

>>7950723
>>7950717
Thanks for the help! Figured I should go with the suggestion of just putting down my foot size in centimeters. Thought I could make things easier by just telling them the converted shoe size but looks like it was more of a pain than anything.

>>7950676
no, chinese size is like euro sizing + 1
i usually get size 8 us, 39 in euro, 24.5 in japan and 40 in china

>>7950729
Christ, Im getting more and more confused! I generally just buy the 39 and sometimes its too big and sometimes its too small, though I think Im only a 7 - 7.5 in US sizing. I think unless the exact measurements are there buying shoes online always seems that way though.

>>7950732
Just to confuse you even more, I'm eu 41 and always bought 41s on taobao, like over 10 pairs and all have fits except 2. One was too big, the other too small.

>>7950732
I think 39 should be the right size for you if you're around 7.5, but you have to make sure to check reviews and stuff because shoes do tend to run big/small on taobao

>>7950723
>Seriously? That seems off?
It is definitely off, because every other shoe I bought was size 39 and they fit so perfectly... just one was off

>>7950703
>>7950712

Yeah no lol. I've bought cups many times, they've been fine. Just sort them by high sales so you know they're ok quality.

>>7950765
So you have a home toxicology lab you used to test them?

My EMS package went through several sorting centers, but hasn't updated since the 18th. Is EMS already that backed up, or did it go through outbound customs and they just missed scanning it? Only time will tell.

>>7950766
Stop being so paranoid. You can use this excuse for almost everything on taobao. If 10,000 people have bought these cups then I think they are probably not going to kill anyone.
But you're right, it's not like there are any shops over in the west who ever import their cups from china or taobao or anything or we'd definitely hear about poisoning all the time, so thank god for that!

>>7950779
>Is EMS already that backed up

Yes

Also it might have moved but wasn't updated yet.

>>7950766
You don't think most plastic cups come from China anyway?

I went a bit over board on that rilakkuma shop.
180 dollars on just cute rilakkuma nick nacks.

So I'm ordering from taobaoring as usual and made my first payment. Though, I'm not sure if I should be concerned but when I did it through paypal, it showed the same e-mail but transaction e-mail wise, it had Bai Ling instead of BEIJING TAOQI INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.. like usual and it didn't have taobaoring.com below the e-mail either. Is it weird or am I just thinking too much?

>>7950826
Mine went to Bai Ling aswell, but Sydney's been emailing me with the sydney@taobaoring mail so it should be fine.

>>7950828
Alright. Thanks! I was a bit worried because things were a bit different compared to the last few times I bought from them.

>>7950784
People are really fucked, then. At this rate, it will mean EMS takes two weeks or more to arrive.

>>7950836
If so, anyone know any faster alternatives then EMS then? At least at this point.

yoybuy forwarding anon again
i realized after they shipped my order, i actually owed them 63 cents, and they shipped anyway, telling me to just pay it after via the account balance. i've never experienced that before. i had an order held for 5 days (i was on vacation) because i owed dotdotbuy 3 cents...

>>7949496

The main difference is that with Yoybuy you can use Airmail Small Package, which isn't offered by Taobao. So, if you wish to order something small, you can get it shipped for very cheap (under $5) with this service.

Also, Yoybuy has way more options for shipping (where as Taobao has two, and they are expensive).

>>7950836
It'll definitely take 2 weeks or more. I got a package a few days ago and it took almost 2 weeks when it usually takes about 6 days. It was only mid November so anyone ordering now is going to be waiting a while on their packages.

>>7950844
Yoybuy ship with DHL as an option (it's actually cheaper than EMS) and the ETA is 2-4 days. I'm waiting on my last package of the year right now and it's taking a lot longer than usual, should have arrived in my country by now but it only left China yesterday, that'll tell you that the mail service is starting to become quite slow and it'll only get worse once we hit December.

>>7950862
Like a few in the thread, I'm doing taobaoring and the description for DHL is concerning since it says fast, but expensive. Though, I think I could give it a try.

>>7950863
Sorry, I don't know much about taobaoring. Do they have the same discount as yoybuy? See their rates and check, I'd honestly advise it if you want your stuff by christmas for sure.

>>7950862
Fucking hate DHL, but at least they're fast as hell.Sent out a package last December and it arrived within a week.

>>7950867
It doesn't seem to have a discount but if I want them early I might just have to do DHL. Can't believe I forgot how busy these places would be around November-December.

Can someone please provide me with a link to this dress or the shop that's selling it?
I've lost it just before making an order

>>7950862
I got a package yesterday that was first scanned on friday so less than a week for me.

Man some of my stuff is taking ages to get to my SS. I ordered two weeks ago in the hope that I would beat the holiday shipping rush but nope. Is it common for some items from a store to show up right away and others from the same store to take much longer to arrive? Everything was supposed to be available, too.

>>7950892
Yeah. Some items are preorders. Others need to be made before shipping out.
And sometimes, the shop just hasn't shipped the items out for whatever dumb reason.

>>7950874
I found some similar but not that specific one anon.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.238.X6rmXc&id=38247240564&ns=1&abbucket=3#detail

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.298.X6rmXc&id=39065857476&ns=1&abbucket=3#detail

I submitted my payment for shipping to me from the forwarding service. Since I bought on 11.11 shipping ended up being around $17 instead of around $28. Now in the tutorial at the top it said something about press the confirm receipt buttons when the forwarding service gets the package so the companies can get their money. Is this at all related to the little stop watch symbol above it? So should I click it now that it's been sent to me or wait until I receive it if it's not related to the timer?
>pic related

>>7950930
I think it's the latter because I'm mostly waiting for a bunch of of generic (for Taobao) socks that can be found in multiple stores.

>>7950712
>>7950766
>>7950782
>>7950785
Generally that there are import laws about stuff like lead paint and shit like that, that makes things from your local dollar store reasonably safe

No such guarantee when buying it from Taobao/aliexpress/ebay directly, but it's not like you can't check via description/reviews

Make up and food is more iffy than homeware though, and everyone has different safety tolerance levels so whatever, it's not my body you're testing so live and let live

>>7950972
Then most likely that is the reason.
Another reason it could take forever is because the shop is selling stuff that it doesn't have and is waiting for the warehouse to ship it to them first (or shipping from warehouse to SS)

>>7950987
>but it's not like you can't check via description/reviews

Exactly. If something has good reviews and a lot of sales then it's most likely fine.

>>7950999
Yeah but honestly something can have good reviews and be unsafe or low quality, it's not like people post reviews after months of use. No need to be overly dramatic though, as long as you give cups/plates/etc a good wash before using them and avoid buying metal cutlery or stuff covered in paint it can't be too dangerous.

Question: Can you order prop weapons from taobao or is there a SS that can order/ship them for you/

>>7951007
Agreed.

Has anyone gotten any of those knockoff Dolly Wink lashes off taobao and could share some details? At least I'm assuming that they're knockoffs since it's taobao. Like these

Antaina had some.

I'm still waiting on a few items to arrive at my SS but some of these are gifts so I need them by Christmas. Judging by the comments, should I go with DHL then? I've only ever used EMS. I live in the US btw.

I've never ordered from taobao around the holiday rush so I'm a little concerned.

>>7951462
For DHL, you basically have to be super careful what you order. I know Yoybuy warns about having replicas/knockoffs in your order if you use DHL because they check more for that stuff.

>>7951426
Idk where you looked, but I clicked two antaina listings at random and both had gold (one ecen has two shades) . Maybe I got lucky though. Unless you were thinking of a more matte gold.

I've got 2 Axes Femme replicas and some rilakkuma slippers in there. Also some disney tights I guess. Would that be an issue you think?

I think they'd only care if it were big name bootlegs or electronics or something. You can ask your shopping service to hide them well if you're worried.

>>7951516
They shouldn't care. I ordered liz lisa replicas before and it was totally fine. I'm waiting on an AP replica in one of them too. Yoybuy will tell you if DHL will accept them or not anyway on the item page.

>>7951537
What's the list of crap that customs will care/make an issue out of?

Also has anyone did a review on myobook?

Other people who use taobaotrends, if something is paid for and is arrived to them (and they're just waiting on the shipping cost to me to be paid), how long are they cool hanging on to it? I was thinking of making another order and then paying for all of it to be shipped together when it comes but I don't know if it's too late or that would be rude (they've had my other thing for a week).

GOD DAMMIT. I literally just got refunded for this from the original seller and wasted all the refunded money on other shit.. AND NOW HERE IT IS.

SO.
FUCKING.
TYPICAL.

Id say go for it Anon, its like what, 40 dollars? And its a stunning skirt..

If I order something today, how long should I expect to wait for it to arrive at my SS? I've got some stuff waiting there from my inital order but I found some other stuff that I wanted as well, but I don't want my stuff to get clogged up in the Christmas SHipping rush

>>7951702
Depends on when the store ships to the SS. You can't really know for sure since some stores are quick and others are not.

I would guess that on average it takes 3-5 business days.

>>7951681
Lol, I added to my order that twice already. I don't know how long they keep stuff, but they're probably cool with holding onto while you make another order.

>>7951638
I wanted to get it too, but only in navy and they were gone way before I could buy it, so I got chocolate rosette instead.

>>7951804
Oh gosh, link? I know, I wanted it in navy too. Managed to get it in sax though so not too bad.

Yoybuy sent me an email saying something had arrived at Yoybuy, I went to their website and checked, apparently something from their forwarding service has arrived in my warehouse. My only recent order has already shipped, I haven't used the specific forwarding service, and the weight of the item isn't the same as the weight of any of my orders. What do?

>>7947734
The most recent thing on my EMS tracking is "BEIJING/posting", this was 3 days ago, it's my first time using Taobao and I'm worried, does this mean they're trying to post it within Beijing?

>>7952313
It means China Post accepted the package and it hasn't moved anywhere since. My own package is just sitting in place since the 18th.

Use the Chinese for shirt or sweater as a search term and sort by sales (third tab), you should get nice and cheap stuff, the most sold must be pretty generic.

Hope you get to read this anon, but it's by half milk just like the cosmic replica. They are taking reservations now (10yuan deposit, total price 189 for the salo and 199 for the jsk), I used taobaoring and paid 199yuan right away, should be out by the end of the month.

Has this happened to anyone?

I made a small order through yoybuy (around 72 USD with three wigs, a small handbag, some fabric and a plushie) and after paying the items and later, the shipping they charge you additional costs for the shipping?
Yoybuy claims that my items weigh little less than 3 kg, but after shipping payment the package weight has climed up to over 8 kg. They even mention both weighs in the email they sent me, but offer no reason why this has happened. I'm still waiting them to answer.

There should be a snowball's chance in hell that the shipping cost (along with other fees) to climb over 130 dollars (64 USD being the first part I already paid) with such a small order.

>>7953676
Thank you!

>>7954257
This happened to me before. Are you shipping with DHL? If so DHL go by dimensional weight instead of physical weight, it's more about how big the package is.

They actually did it after I asked and changed the shipping method from DHL to EMS. Thank you anon! I hope that drops the amount.

>still not finished purchasing
>a bunch of the items I was most looking forward to are now "no available after paid"

As a newbie to /cgl/, please forgive my ignorance.
This isn't the first time I've seen a taobao thread but... why is it worthy of anything? What makes it remarkable? Why a chinese website and not anything else?
I need to lurk more on /cgl/ but your answers would greatly speed up my understanding.
Basically, I am seeking the know-hows around the board and this thread itself, please enlighten me.

>>7956635
lolita and cosplay stuff is sold there in decent quality for low prices

>>7956262
It sounds as though it's fine, it's likely they were calling about your dress to confirm your identity.

>>7956635
Everything is sold cheaper and if you do it right you can make money by using taobao.

>>7956635
>Why a chinese website and not anything else?
do you know that there are also ten pages of other threads on /cgl/

Thanks for the rapid response, I thought in threads of such boards, replies would be slow (seeing OP's post dates back almost 5 days ago).
I've been spending the past 2 hours familiarizing myself with the culture in every possible way, and would just like to ask:

Is there any recommended good and popular shops you guys often use for cute clothing/stuff? (i.e. provides high quality stuff, cheap, tons of variety, user-friendly navigation, etc)
Or do I have to browse through the hundreds of them in the spreadsheet and choose one by luck... (it's difficult for me because of decision making problems)

>>7956635
You can purchase some reasonably high quality goods at fairly reasonable prices. Many people involved in cosplay and lolita are not interested in paying the high price for brand items or custom local tailoring. Because Taobao aggregates from a ton of different shops you can buy pretty much anything on there and your shopping service will receive all the items and package them together for you.

Taobao also has the pulse on these sorts of items and kawaii shit, which ebay or amazon or individual retailers might not.

>>7956767
right in the OP, in the several shopping lists...?

>>7956767
It depends on what you want. Lolita? Cosplay? Lazy bear? Doge sweatshirts?

Did you look through this thread first?

>>7956262
Has anyone ever had their replica destroyed by customs? Outside of Japan?

I'm confused about this...
http://tw.taobao.com/item/41525366442.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z10.1.w4004-4190861643.2.PN2ZzF
it's selling the collar... wrists or the entire blouse...?

>>7956796
>>7956804
Like I said, I know there are shop spreadsheets but it's huge a huge compiled list with no pinpointer as to which shops are "better" than others.
Also... uhm.. you got anything for cosplay?

This is probably a dumb question but does anyone know where to find your tracking number from the taobao forwarding service? Then what's the Chinese shipping website to track it?

There's more but the easiest thing to do if you want cosplay or mango/animu is to just put a series in Chinese and look for stuff that has more than 0 buys. Or put a character's Japanese name in.

I emailed the person who does the spreadsheets but I have no idea if they updated it or not with the tags I found.

anyone know if this will be a cotton dress? when i got lost in sea blue i was disappointed that the fabric was like weird nylon-y synthetic and pretty thin.

Anyone know if these diamonds really make it trustworthy?
I'm sorry this question is kind of stupid.

I keep looking at shoes and a lot of the stores have high ratings but use other stores shoes.

I'm trying to find the source shop for a lot of shoes.

I see this shoe model a lot but I have no idea who actually sells them.
