Anyone got any cute hats or other winter accessories?

>>7957704
I did. I'm anon >>7957664. Tried to buy some winter clothing during 11.11 but well.

Does anyone know what taobao shop this is?

I saw the skirt on ToAlice but the background was different and there were no shirts.

http://spreepicky.storenvy.com/collections/319971-dresses/products/8794167-set-afternoon-tea-cookie-sailor-collar-seifuku-unifrom-blouse-top-pleated

I don't know if it was in the last thread or the one before that but some anon said they bought this and their SS sent them a picture of it. The quality looked kind of shitty but I'm wondering if that anon ever got it in?
If so, how did it turn out?

>>7957735
They are from when To Alice was still part of Mysis.
http://mysis.taobao.com/

>>7957779
Thank you!

>>7957768
That anon here. Still waiting for the rest of my items to arrive at my SS so I haven't received it yet. I can do a review once I receive it though, but with shipping times as it is I have no clue when that'll be.

My EMS box just made it to US customs today, it looks like China didn't scan shit after acceptance/sorting. But it'll still be a 10~11 day transit time.

>ordered around $100 worth of stuff
>everything arrives to forwarding service within 10 days
>order another $100 worth of stuff

I need to be stopped.

Forgive my reposting but the thread died.
>>7957095
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?

>>7958121
Which forwarder did you use? Anyway, this site brings up any tracking number. http://track-chinapost.com/

>>7958259
The only forwarding option to the US. Idk what it's called but it says EMS DHL in an image seems the location is Zhongshan

got some more things in at the yoybuy forwarding service
my dress only weighted 358 grams, so it only cost me $7 dollars to ship it to me Airmail Small Packages, which is great because I've never had a package get lost this way and I don't have to fucking sign for it.

Plus size anon here. Just paid for my order. One of the skirts I ordered apparently is "out of stock" after I paid but the item page says there are 88 in stock. Aren't there rumours that taobaoring is banned from certain shops for trying to haggle? or is that a different SS. Bummed cause I was most excited for that skirt but w/e. Excuse the horrid collage.

Sauce on the ribcage shirt?

So my 11.11 shop finally came >>7949878

I'm happy with almost everything that came. The cosmic replica... The bow came separate. No, it wasn't detachable. It looked like it was ripped off. Luckily there was no damage to the dress but I'll need to sew it on myself. I saw in a lot of reviews people mentioned something about the bow (maybe it was a common problem or it was bad quality?) so if anyone else ordered one don't be surprised if the bow isn't great. Apart from that it was fine, it looks quite nice.
The CCS messenger bag is lovely looking but it is way smaller than I was expecting. It also feels sort of flimsy so I wouldn't carry anything heavy in it. But again it looks and feels very nice. It's a bit pricey for what you get though. The seller left a cute note on it but I can't read it sadly lol.
Nothing else really worth commenting on, everything else met the description/pictures.

If the tights I'm buying now end up fitting, I am going to lose my entire paycheck to that store.

it's selling the collar... wrists or the entire blouse...?

>>7959075
That butter toast plushie. Do a review when you get it.

>>7959359
It is by Onespo, just search the brand's name and you find tons of stuff with cutout hearts.

>>7959427
That's a onepiece, anon.

>>7959075
Like on the plushie/pillow?

>>7959427
it's a deposit for that blouse I think

>>7959503
r u blind?

>>7959525
No, pic related, there is no seperate collar and wrist cuffs.

>>7959570
Forgot to mention that the options are for what style of collar and sleeve ends you want, the blouse in the attached pic got the sleeve option of the black one.

>>7959508

Does Dear Celine restock items? I found this blouse on Clobba, but but it's not in their shop. I'm sure I could get it cheaper from their Taobao directly.

>>7958824
Sauce on the straw hat please?

>>7959425
Are you thinking of these tights maybe?
http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=36611061765

They'd look great with a plain black dress. They're supposed to be your main piece or else it would look too busy.

>>7959724
Thanks a lot, you read my mind !

>>7958916
Hey could you do that toalice blouse/brown dress review for me (anon from last thread)? And the top left purple wig if you have the time! thanks!

>>7959443
seconding the butter toast plush review

>>7959599
occasionally, but not on a regular schedule. i just check their shop every few days. so far i was able to land both of their tweed kodona vests and a blazer that was a re-release of a winter 2013 item.

speaking of which, my blazer arrived at tbtrends today....paid for air shipping already so hopefully it's here soon!

I'm hoping that Yoybuy will hurry up and change the status from Bought to Arrived so I can pay for my order. So excited to get this sweater.

Does anyone know any taobao stores that does custom sizes for maid dresses?

Link to the butter toast plush?

>>7959359
>>7959496
>>7959382
Nope, literally no one is selling it unfortunately, even earlier all the stores only had a few in stock

>>7959427
It's the second payment for that blouse, if you didn't pre-order it with a deposit you can't get it, and the options are for high collar (I don't know the exact term but like cuff picture but on the collar?????), and peter pan collar

>>7959911

It's foam blocks for needle felting. Goes with the wool roving beside it in the photo.

>>7959075
omg that tight store I'm in love
>http://lena1314.taobao.com/

That said, I did order some of the same tights from a different store that was selling things for slightly cheaper if tights are your thing (but if the stock pictures are correct then it's actually also slightly lower quality if it matters)
http://cff1107.taobao.com/

>>7960089
holy fuck i want all of them.

currently cursing my ginormous hips and thighs.....bet these are all tiny as fuck

I looked through reviews but a lot of them are from a little while back/not as recent. Which SS should I use if anyone has dealt with any of these recently.

TBSpree/Spreenow or Yoybuy?
Medium size order of bags, little (nonfragile) trinkets, cosplay, and some clothing and plushies. do not need it right away but before end of Dec is nice

>>7960412
How ginormous is ginormous? Some of them fit 12/14 quite comfortably if you're not super tall

Alternatively find keywords for the tights you like and then add MM to the searches and you get plus size tights

>>7960480
Spreenow and Yoybuy are both good imo, it'd be down to personal preference for yourself. Something I will say is that spreenow package things better and have better communication than yoybuy but that's not to say yoybuy is bad. I prefer yoybuy's cart system but spreenow is fine too.
>do not need it right away but before end of Dec is nice
At this point it'd be nice if it happened but I definitely would not bank on this happening, I got 2 packages in November and both were really slow/delayed, December is going to be absolutely nuts.

>>7960561
hips are 41", thighs are each 25" around....i'm not tall, but i have a lot of leg to cover. there's no measurements listed on the first tights site linked, so i'm assuming the hip only goes to 100cm.

(also inb4 lose weight.....i have a large pelvis and neither my hip nor thigh circumference change with weight gain/loss.)

>>7960895
your thighs alone are larger than the waist measurement of most women who that chinese clothing was meant for

might want to rethink that

>>7960898
stfu sieg

>>7960480
Before December is going to be impossible unless you pay through the nose for DHL no matter who you go with

>>7960899
whatever...ham thighs

Will pruany throw a fit if I ask for a picture of my package in the scale? They swear its almost 8kg but that sounds like too much for what I ordered.

>>7960895
you're at the point where you may be lucky and you'll fit them, but they'll be likely to rip or be very not-opaque in the bad way. Honestly just don't do it. There are stores that sell tights for bigger thighs, maybe Haenuli or that one storenvy place with the narwhal tights. I'm too tall/big for taobao tights too :p

>>7960982
Do it. If they refuse then just choke up the shipping costs and then never use them again. They've been pulling this shit too much lately.

yoybuy forwarding anon again
the item i shipped on the 22nd with Airmail Small Package, just arrived at NYC. I paid $3.00 to ship this item and that is the quickest I've ever gotten something to he USA with a cheap option. Hell, EMS for me still takes 5-10 days to even get here (atleast, in my experience).

>>7961135
You are a hero among us all, anon.

>>7960058
> The real weight of your parcel is 1.400 kg. The estimated weight is 1.479 kg. We have refunded the price difference of international shipping 1.44 USD.to your YOYBUY account. Please have a check.

Well thank you, Yoybuy. After hearing about all the crap going on with shopping services over charging, I'm really glad they emailed me about a .079 difference and gave me a refund even if it wasn't that much.

I wear my free Yoybuy tshirt with pride today.

>>7960895
A wide pelvis will make your hips bigger but you can still lose weight off those thighs. Don't kid yourself.

>You have made such a great choice, for your items looks so wonderful.
lol thanks TBR but you probably say this to everyone you saucy minx

>>7960988
exactly....hence why i said they wouldn't fit me.
>narwhal tights
OMG. link?

>>7961188
yeaaaaaah nope. lost 15 pounds this year and zero thigh change. it's a genetic thing: all the women in my family have big thighs. they're not all jiggly cellulite....i'm pretty athletic so they're muscular. they're also mostly in proportion with the rest of my crazy figure.

>>7961264

Nah usually they just tell me "your items look good!"

So you probably have an excellent haul.

>>7960895
similar with that hip. I have 41 inch hips and I'm 5'6.

Agencytaobao still hasnt updated my 2nd half of my order to arrived yet and I'm leaving to the west coast on the 18th
What shipping service would get it to me before then? Are they ass hat expensive?

>>7961354
Maybe anon means Tejajamilla on Etsy? I don't know if she has a storenvy too.

>>7961360
It's almost all socks and tights. Maybe someone at TBR has a foot fetish? Ha.

>>7960895
>>7961409
I also have 40" hips, 23" thighs and a ±31" inseam and I had no problem with the few tights I've ordered off Taobao so far. Lets hope everything from this order will fit me as well.
I get you on the thighs btw. It's practically the only place my body stores fat and they're decently muscular. My BMI is only 17 so losing even more weight just to get smaller thighs is probably a bad idea.

>>7961422
Unless you are a veritable giant, how is your BMI 17 with those measurements????

>>7960895
>hips are 41"
>I'm not tall

>>7961422
>40" hips
>BMI of 17

I'm sorry I have to call bullshit on these posts. I have 38" hips and I am not obese but definitely overweight, I have a BMI of about 26. I don't know how it's possible to not be overweight with these measurements. What are your stats? I'd like to believe you but there is no way someone with a BMI of 17 has hips that big... Either you're weighing yourself wrong or you're measuring yourself wrong. I'm tall myself too, I'm about 5'10. I just cannot believe someone with a BMI of 17 can take a size UK16/US18 in pants, it's impossible. What is your BF%?
On this topic to at least contribute: Most tights have fit me fine around the hips but they are always far too short so I can't wear them. I'm hoping that when I lose more weight they may fit since I'll have more material to pull up my leg but I'm not banking on it.

>>7958824
Sauce on the heart bags pls

>>7961434
>>7961449
Maybe >>7960895 >>7961422 are just extreme pears. We all know at least one person with ginormous hips.(Though a 17 BMI does sound odd).

I'm 5'1 and have a BMI of ~22, and last I checked, my hips are 39" and thighs 22". It's just that my weight is concentrated in my lower body (I have a 31" bust, 25" waist).

>>7961434
>>7961449
Big hipbones and wide pelvis, hardly any meat. My hipbones look like they could take an eye out and it's not pretty. My shoulders are point and bony too. I'm aware that I need to gain weight and am working on it.
Pic obviously isn't me but I look a bit like that even standing up.

>>7960818
>>7960925
OK thank you!

>>7961449
please come measure me then.....i'm doing that regularly since i'm doing the focus t25 exercise program (finished turbofire earlier this year). last measurements
B- 37"
W- 31"
H- 41"
(my thigh measurement was typo'd above....should have been 23.5". just noticed this, calf is 14.5" and solid muscle)
inseam- 31"

i'm 5'5" and exceedingly shortwaisted, so i'm all leg (another reason why i despair taobao tights). also a pear. ~150lb, size 10/12 pants. trying to get back to 140, but i looked basically the same as i do now and wore the same size, just less of a stomach pooch.

polite sage because i can't believe i'm telling anons this.
>inb4 FATTY.

>>7961555
But at 5'5" and ~150lb your BMI is 25 and not 17...?

>>7961555
Uh ok but that is believable for a BMI of 25. Not a BMI of 17, which is where the disbelief came from.

I found this cute shop for planners, scrapbooks and a few home goods, maybe it could be added to the spreadsheet?

>tfw BMI 18 and I have nowhere near these measurements

Can we get back on topic now?

>Tfw only want to buy two things that aren't really on eBay?
Any SS that do really small orders like super small? or do I have to go through the Buychina (or was it Aliexpress) way?

In the last thread I commented that yoybuy was charging me more for DHL packet due their volumetric weight system, but I gotta say that the customer service there was excellent after I contacted them. They answered quickly and with good english and changed my shipping method from DHL to EMS. Today I got the message that my parcel has been sent out without additional fees or hassle. Surprisingly, in the mail I got the shipping company has been marked as DHL.

Anyway, small shitty order for small shitty Christmas. Friend has ordered a good quality white fluffy fabric from taobao and since it's hard to come by here (or it priced like a motherfucker) I decided to get a meter for a next project. Few wigs for a friend and me, a handbag and Christmas present I didn't add in this picture.
But if you're looking for adorable and fluffy plushies, especially Alpacas (or LINE characters), I recommend this seller.

i use tbtrends all the time. they tend to stay quiet unless your order status gets updated "like all your stuff is at the SS, etc). they were very nice when i was waiting for dear celine to add some more blazers in my size, and when i emailed to let them know about the restock, they told me they had already purchased it for me.

>>7961417

I emailed them three times about some questions because I wanted to add onto my order but I received no reply and no email back so I was sort of concerned.

I haven't used Yoybuy for a couple of years. Do you still need to add funds to their page?

>>7962062
hm, that's odd. though it usually takes them about a day to get back to me when i've emailed in the past.....don't give up, anon!

Anons who have used the forwarding service before, I need your help. After you put all your items together and go to pay for shipping and it goes to this page, when you press the orange button to confirm can you look over shipping info again before confirming to pay like with ebay?

>>7961264
Y-you too?
TBR is cheating on me ;_;

>>7961163
I just had the same thing happen with Pruany and got a $6 dollar refund. Surprised me with all the problems lately, but we'll see when that big box finally gets here.

Holy shit. Just received shipping notification from my SS and supposedly shipping to the US via EMS is approx. $150. Does that sound correct for the amount of items I ordered? >>7947927 That's a fuckload more expensive than I was expecting shipping to be.

>>7962559
It's EMS and you have a lot of heavy items
I'd estimate you have about 8kg worth of stuff

With items that are preorder, will an SS just charge you the full price before ordering? How exactly does it work with SSs that use cart systems?

>>7962565
Damn, really? I've never had shipping cost this much so it kind of shocked me. (I'm no longer getting the shoes or necklaces, so it's really just full of clothes. If the shoes were still in the order I'd understand since those are heavy, but jesus.)

>>7962581
yes
>>7962584
it's because you have a lot of sweaters which probably weigh anything from 500-700g each the dresses are probably around 300

Anyone know if there's still a chance SAL will arrive before Christmas? My purchase is a little small so I would prefer to avoid EMS but I'm also under a time crunch.

>>7962586
Thanks anon. That makes sense.

Hm just checked their shipping calculator and apparently UPS or DHL is far cheaper than using EMS. Anyone know which method is most reliable? Looking at time estimates they both seem to be quite fast.

>>7962588
Very very very very very slim if you ship out right now. If it's light, maybe try Airmail?

>>7962650
I have a deep set hatred of UPS and DHL. They get your stuff to you on time, but be prepared to pay bullshit fees. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

>>7962670
>but be prepared to pay bullshit fees
Where do you live anon? And how much are the fees typically? I've only used DHL once a couple years back with some Bodyline items but never got charged any fees.

>>7962674
Canada. They range from $20-40 depending on the cost of the items. It's usually the same deal with UPS and DHL. Always get hit by customs with them too (like 90% of the time).

hey anons how much do ya'll usually mark down your packages? my order is about 300$ full of clothes (regular clothes and cosplay.) not sure what I should ask my SS to mark it down to without it being suspicious

I got my package, and I have to retract my accusation of Pruany overcharging me for shipping. They just put it in a way too big box and packaged it to survive the zombie apocalypse. Which was kind of nice of them, although a bit unnecessary.

>>7962383
I just made an order and didn't have to do that. I used the "Buy For Me" option instead of the 'pay all of it at once for faster shipping out' option and it let me pay via Paypal without adding funds to my account. They did refund excess shipping to my Yoybuy account balance though.

>>7962481
>225 yuan to ship two keychains

Also you left your address on there, anon. Might not be such a good idea to keep that image up.

>>7962650
Remember that DHL doesn't charge by weight, it's by dimensions so it may end up costing more like another anon mentioned earlier.

>>7962698

It depends on how taxes in your country work. Mexican customs, for example, charge a percentage for all packages over $300 so I just mark it down to around $290 or so.

As a rule of thumb, try to stick to somewehre around %60-%70 of the price - most custom people don't realize that lolita items are expensive, for example, so you can easily claim that a $200 dress is actually $80.

>>7962670
>>7962678

fucking this. they charge you import fees 99% of the time, when regular mail only does it if your package gets inspected.

I did an order through Pruany a while ago, before some anons started having trouble with them. And now that everything is finally here and has been weighed, I want to make sure I'm not getting over charged for shipping. I ordered 3 knot boleros, 3 pairs of tights, some lace sock toppers, and a floral head band, and they said it came out to. 2.2 KG. Is that a logical weight, or is it too heavy?

My customs office has sent me a letter asking for an invoice proving the price I paid for my goods, but my SS marked it down so if I show them one they'll know I was lying. How fucked am I?

>>7962985
They are pretty much used to this and don't care about it at all, at least in germany. Also the seller marked the package down, not you so it's not your fault he did - at least you could say so if anybody would ask you about it.

>>7962985
I was requested to do so several times. I don't know how the custom in your country works, but here they don't even look that much to the invoice...But I don't even pass the amount that customs request to ask for taxes so.

Any good goth/nugoth/creepy cute stores? or stuff like killstar, kreepsville, ect?

>>7962985
Why don't you photoshop your invoice?

>>7962985
Your SS might make a fake invoice for you. Spreenow always marked my package down without even asking me and they always attached a fake invoice to the package for customs, it worked everytime, I can also access their fake invoice online. Ask your SS. If not and you're really stuck I can send you mine and you can edit it.

I was told to ask for help here. I'm trying to order some stuff from fox cherry using taobao now but no matter what I do none of the links are recognized by the shopping cart. I tried removing the tw since that would cause a problem and I tried using a different browser but neither has worked. I just want some headwear, man. What do i do to make it work?

>I tried removing the tw since that would cause a problem

You can't just remove the tw part, that doesn't work since it makes it a different link. You need to set your region to global in the top left panel

>>7963115
You are talking to a taobao noob here. Top left panel of what?

>>7963126
Look in the FAQ and search for the word global. It has a screenshot of what anon is talking about.

>>7962912
As an anon said above, sweaters are usually 500-800g each. Boleros are probably similar. The total doesn't sound too excessive.

Can you provide a link for the boleros? I'm having a hard time finding cute ones.

>>7963143
The faq on which site? I assume you mean taobaonow but I'm not finding it and my computer is being a butt so I can't just use f3 to search for it. I actually had to movent to using my phone since my laptop stopped working all together when I tried to search for it.

>>7963155
The FAQ in this thread in the first post.

Most questions are answered on there already.

>>7963165
Ok. Thanks. Sorry about that.

>>7962862
>It depends on how taxes in your country work
thanks for the info. where do I find out what amount I start getting charged? I live in the US

>>7963193

don't worry about it. We don't get taxed unless you look like a reseller.

Murrica fuck yeah.

For those who were wondering if there was a Taobao shop.
http://yanhuatang.tw.taobao.com/?_lang=zh_CN:TB-GBK

I want everything in their shop

Thanks so much for your help guys. I managed to put in my order and I am quite happy. Apparently taobao is automatically on global if you use an ipad. Now to hope nothing I wanted was sold out.

>>7961754
I use TBR for small orders, I even bought a single choker once and shipping was only like 2 bucks with airmail.

Seconding source on the sweaters

Question: Does customs care about buying stuff like this?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-900691042.75.y3PpNZ&id=42582952500

I wanted to get some COSPA items (even though I know they might be bootleg lol.)

So Anons, remember that one SS, was it like Transbao or something?
Got anything new from em?

Looking for a Mori poncho
If anyone found some nice ones let me know

So I'm a total newbie with Taobao and I want to choose the right agent. What are you favorite agents or which one do you highly recommend?
I was hopping to try out freeshoppingchina, frugirls, and yoybuy

>>7963499
Ponchos are okay with Mori right?

>>7963599
Yoybuy seems okay,
I just placed an order with Agencytaobao and they were good so far (they are about to send my order)
I have done Celestial and she was good but pricy

>>7963619
How were the fees and shipping cost?

>>>7963619
>How were the fees and shipping cost?
I mean Yoybuy seems to promise the lowest shipping and other seagulls around here seem to like it, so...

>>7963152
Ok thanks. I'll still check the package when it comes.

Bolero Link-http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-723693995.14.tMZV1A&id=17752918690

>>7963205
Wow I can't believe you found it. Might as well throw this out there in case anyone recognizes the models or items, this same shop sells feizhuliu and bobon21 items so I know it's all from taobao. Ebay seller ling_lam2008

Am I the only one who has been undercharged by Pruany ? Got a 6,1kg package, paid for 5,8kg.
Guess they are just bad at using scales.

>>7960089
>>http://lena1314.taobao.com/
do you think they stretch a lot?
>tfw i'm 5'11

>>7963925
Wait for the first anon's order to come in, but chances are if you're not twig thin, you are too tall for most tights that aren't specified to be tall/plus size

>>7963624
The only issue with Yoybuy is that they have a 10% fee which is a bit on the high side compared to places like Bhiner.

>>7963599
>>7963619
>freeshoppingchina, frugirls
>Agencytaobao

I thought we all learned from Transbao to not stray away from established SS to save a buck? But I guess it's your money to lose

>>7963945
Well I am in the process of using agencytaobao and it's going good so fat and their % is on the low side.

>>7964024
Then give more that you'd reccomend

I recently received a taobao order, and this one mori-style sweater has the most horrible industrial smell. I've washed it twice and left it to bask in the sun, but it still has this lingering smell. It's almost... chemical?

Has this happened to anyone else before?

>>7964044
freezer

>>7964044
Yeah but not as strong as the scent you're describing.

>>7964048
good tip I'll try it. Thanks

>>7964035
There is a tab on the SS spreadsheet called "which SS to pick"
Please read it

>Almost all I wanted was out of stock.
It hurts.

>>7962481
You're using Taobao from Australia but your Taobao page is entirely in traditional Chinese, like what they use in Taiwan, as opposed to simplified, like what they use in the mainland.
That's so odd. I figure it would default to simplified if you're browsing internationally.

I haven't used the forwarding service, so I can't tell you 100%, but that orange button says submit your payment.

But this would switch you to the second tab you see up top, 付款到支付宝 which means along the lines of [proceed to] pay money to Zhifubao/Alipay.
Where you would then be brought to the Alipay site and you would have to put in your login credentials (like when using Paypal to pay with eBay).

tl;dr, it shouldn't make you pay without again asking for your password. You're not on the payment screen.

>>7964094
I'm more used to reading traditional Chinese so I have an add-on that converts simplified.

Thanks for your help!

>>7962751
It's not just two keychains lol I just cropped them out but left some stuff in so it looks more like a page.

And yeah I never noticed until you pointed it out ;_; Anyone know how I can delete it? It's too old for me to do it myself. I've emailed 4chan so hopefully it will be taken care of soon...

Wtf? Is this an error? First time on TBT. (Used to use Pruany, and never had any issues but now I'm paranoid.)

>>7964129
Have you checked your emails? There might be an explanation. Or not, then glitch.

>>7964129
Nope that's not an error it's just ass backwards.

>Price is the normal price
>Discount price should be the shipping fees plus normal price, they adjust it and it reflects it after you submit order.

After you submit your order they will change it around and then you have a final order that you will pay. Same thing happen with me. A 140 CNY shirt was about 160 with shipping.

>>7964129
If not just submit an email but you have to compose an email because their message system isn't working for some reason. I'm using TBT right now and I had to personally go into my inbox to email them about questions.

>>7964129
I just realized my post was autistic as hell because it's late and I'm slightly high.

TBT has a weird glitch that happens when you put items in your cart. The discount price is suppose to be the final price with shipping while the price is just the price. What you do is you put everything in your cart, then submit order. TBT will adjust the price for you and put in the information and then give you another quote. You pay for that.

If you want something like cheaper shipping or have any discrepancies you email them (as in you go into your email inbox and compose a message because for some reason their message system is glitchy too.)

Outside of their communication I haven't had any issues with TBT at all.

>>7963402
Not really. They're looking for normal knock offs, like sneakers and purses, not weaboo shit.

The spreadsheet isn't opening on my phone :( Can anyone recommend the best cosplay wig store and best clothing store for grunge/dark clothing?

Has anyone used the Lucaille store before? (http://shop33700042.taobao.com/))
I tried using them about 2 years back, as a group order to the UK, but they refused to take my order through a shopping service and instead told me to order on their new english website, where the prices were about 10x than the taobao prices.
Has anyone had this problem recently or have they realised how stupid it was?

Here's my current order! Can't wait for it

>>7964436
1. Those shoes are cute as fuck.
2. I gotta have sauce on the boystyle outfit in the bottom left corner.

>>7964044
It always happens with stuff made of wool. Sucks to be you.

>>7963492
Transbao has been kill for a long time anon

>>7964436
SAUCE ON SHOES

>>7963930
Nooooes i hate my gargantuan self :(
Not tstick thin, not fat either. Avergare weight - 72 kg.
If anybody cares to share amazing plus sized thights i'll be so happy (I know I know I can always search for myself but I may as well ask right?)

>>7960561
>MM
Dif anon, what's the term for tights? Just gotta translate that and add MM and I'll get Plussized tights?

>>7963945
So which SS would have the lowest shipping AND fees? Also trying to choose my first SS

>>7964044
Try washing it with vinager?

>>7964617
连裤袜, 打底袜 for tights in general

丝袜 for like, idk, 'silky stockings'??? I don't know the english word

MM is like a weird slang for plus size, there's also 大码

This will probably only get you plain stuff though if you don't add in other search terms like 可爱 (cute), or 韩版 (Korean), etc

You can also add seasonal words like summer/winter/autumn (夏/冬/秋) to get varying thickness

>>7964623
Read the faq please
PLEASE

For the record some of the newest SS have really low fees
But also cheapest shipping and fees also mean shittiest english ability and sometimes the trade off isn't worth it

>>7964634
Anon I love you I was trying 褲襪 MM and only got boring stuff now with those new kewywords you gave me I'm so going on a spree.
Also, picrelated I love how they show how much stretch is in dem tights by putting two people inside

>>7964637
I'm sorry sempai. Will do.

>>7964155
Thanks!

>>7964129
TBT anon again, is there anyway to cancel/delete items from orders? I feel super dumb but honestly I am finding this system to be so confusing

Are there any taobao brands that make otome-ish dresses? I love ETC's babydoll dresses but most brands I see are poofy extravagant lolita

>>7964436
I'm so jealous of you for getting those shoes, they're gorgeous.

>>7964436
ugh those shoes are so cute. curse my big feet! Sauce on that hooded scarf thing in the top right corner?

>>7964720
>>7964812
Anons, i've found a really kewl store on Ali Express called Shoes of Dream, you send them pictures of any kind of shes and they make them for you in any size. So far I've bought 3 pairs from them for 28 cm, for the price quality is pretty good! I recomend them :)

>>7964860
how much are they?

Where can I buy fawn fur material? Or a search term for that?

Anybody has the kewwords for "sof sister"? Searched the archives and spreadsheets with no luck. Google translate says 软妹, is that correct?

>>7964174
Good that means I can buy my weaboo plates and keychain shit lol.

Also what's 12/12? Are all shops doing it?

>>7964861
>>7964867
Sorry totes forgot the link -> http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1359737

I bought 3 pairs that are not available in the shop anymore:

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6184796578.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6184796580.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6184796579.html

As you can see bots are somewhat expensive but I live in Southamerica and it is impossible for me to find pretty shoes in my size so I had no problem in paying what the store asked for them. They are made from pleather, but the inside has a soft plushie type fabric. If interested I can take closeup pics when I get home but they will look worn. The pink pair arrived one size too big, I pointed it out to the seller and they excused profondly, refunded me for the whole amount and are sending a new pair for free (still in transit)

>>7964710
Hungover anon >>7964155

You need to email them and resubmit another order form if you didn't pay for it yet. (guessing you didn't.) Had the same problem on 11.11

>>7964927
12/12 is a smaller version of 11/11 sales.

How do I communicate to my SS (Taobao trends) the specific measurements I need for
>http://tw.taobao.com/item/40007066241.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z10.1.w4004-5545451360.22.Dc8cfV ?

Just making sure I get it right, and I hope Chrome translate is telling me that it can be made custom.

>>7965457
Email them with the link (using your inbox and not the contact listing.)

It's best to do both because I'm not sure if their contact through the website is working or not. I tried it before three times and they didn't reply but they replied quick when I personally emailed them.

I do know that you have to do it all in cms.

>>7964919
It's right there in the dictionary...

>>7964714

>>7965955
Link to that SHIELD bag, please?

>>7966031
Looks like all their stuff isn't in stock? I hope it's just because they're releasing new stuff. I really wanted those piano shoes.

Earlier this year I saw a photo of a flower crown with cute curly ram horns, someone had said it was from a taobao shop but I'm having trouble finding it. Does anyone know of the store or even just have the stock image of the headband?

This place's stuff is super cute imho, if you like Amavel's style. I don't think anything is actually a direct replica, only inspired by, so that's a plus to me!

So I prepared an order ~2 months ago, all ready to send off to a SS, but something came up and I will be out of money until mid-December. I daren't yet check to see if the items on my list are still available.

On a scale of 1 to your village in Animal Crossing, how fucked am I?

>>7965955
>>7966477
Am I overlooking the size chart for those shoes, or is it just not there?

I already read the spreadsheet about the SS, but I would like to know if anyone here bought from agencytaobao/happybuy and if they are good, because I'm a little skeptical about their fees and all

Has anyone tried Airmail? What are HK Air Parcel's risk of custom fees compared to EMS?

>>7966658
Ooh! Haha. It's from here! http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=41341362017

>>7966662
Does the 9999 yuan mean it's sold out? Google translate is being a butt for me right now.

>>7966670
I'm talking with my SS about that right now. Hopefully they can give an answer about that.

How long does TBR take to confirm an order? They're one of my last choice SS's and last time I tried using them they confirmed my order almost a year after I placed it.

Hnng. I want those to Alice piano shoes but I can't tell if they are sold out or not. How can I email taobao now to ask? I can't find the email on the site.

>>7966690
If they are sold out it should be a 0 next to the cart and something that is voided out. I forgot what but they explain it on the first post anon.

>>7964436

Please sauce on the bunny hood/scarf and the cute bag next to it!

>>7966684
What?
Usually a day or three, if they haven't confirmed it by 2 days(discounting weekends) I always message them and they get to it.

>>7966684
Seriously? Wtf.

They always confirm the next day for me.

>>7966715
I'm sorry I just get very confused when dealing with something not in English. Things I should understand I just can't.

>>7965955
How can be these shoes so cheap??
It's so pretty to be true...

>>7966731
I don't have the exact screenshot but whatever the item is when you click or move the mouse next to it it should have the inventory. If it's 0 then it's sold out. It will also say something like "this baby is sold out."

>>7966670
Also, some sellers will keep their items’ listings in their shop even if they don’t actually have the item in stock or if it is a preorder. They usually pick a ridiculous price; what is commonly seen is that the price of an item is 9999 yuan. This is just as a placeholder price. Sellers do this to show a “portfolio” of items they have made/sold/whatever.

>>7966766
>>7966770
Thanks guys. I'm not using an actual computer which makes things a little more complicated. The translator on an iPad doesn't translate all the text only some of it. I'll keep that stuff in mind for next time.

>¥ 9999.00

this is some sort of cruel joke... right...?

>>7966792
Means it's out of stock.

>>7966792
on a scale from 1 to tacky,

...what if I just put a black sharpie to these shoes?

>>7966743
Because that store it's from a popular scammer; the items don't exists tho, so you will never receive them....

>>7966839
I would if I could. My computer broke down so I'm stuck navigating and iPad that refuses to open links. I'm sorry, I do feel bad but everything on this thing is pulling teeth.

>>7966743
It's about 22USD. It doesn't seem that cheap to me (though not expensive either.)

...suede heels?

My SS has received all the items of my order. It mostly looks good except for the stuff from top right. The antler sweater had it's print sewn on upside-down. I'll review it when it gets here if there's enough interest, but from what I can see now, it doesn't look too promising.

you mean the sweater vest? It's a sweater vest lol.

Just paid for my shipping from taobao forwarding service to me. Should arrive within 5-9 days according to their shipping service info. The logo for tb's fs has both EMS and DHL on it so I'm not sure which postal service they are actually going to use.

Oh, cool! I didn't even know it was a thing.
But damn, I'm so curious about the shoes that are still only concept sketches. They got some interesting ideas

What's the search word for pillow case? Does anyone know a trustworthy shop that sells cosmetics and Palty hairdye? I don't live in the US and don't want to import from there when I can get it with my other stuff.

maybe you should import it from japan instead of china. I wouldn't trust getting cosmetics or hair dye from taobao

Alright thanks! Just thought it'd be nice to get all things from the same place but it's wiser not to as you say. Do any of you know where you can find hairdye online that ships from Japan?

Does anyone have any cute Mori clothing to reccomend? Maybe a shop not on the spreadsheet?
I need more ivory and colors that match with brown in my closet. (I just got like 3 pairs of brown shoes and I don't have colors to match it.)

Is the bakery top from the same shop as the antler jacket? Can you do a review on the quality of it when you receive it? I wanted it but after seeing how the antler one turned out I'm a little skeptical.

>>7967779
Pretty sure secret shop only sells to clobbaonline now a days.

pinkyparadise sells palty hair dye. prettyandcute also has hair dye (palty and other brands)

I can't tell if they are fucking with me or don't understand what I want

what's this 1212 sale?

>>7968997
according to an anon earlier, it's a smaller version of 11/11

>>7968407
Yeah, it is. And sure! I don't know when it's going to arrive though, since I went with HK Airmail in the end and have no clue how the holidays is going to affect it.

weigh the package when you receive it and before you open

I'm using the one from taobao because I wanted to take advantage of their 11/11 overseas shipping promo.

To Alice's irl shops are so cute!

does "penny loafers" translate into chinese? (its not in the dictionary)

That hype when your package is in your country.

Haven't used taobao in a couple months and... everything looks different? There's no descriptions on any of the items I try to look at anymore

>>7969722
Are you looking at the mobile version or something like tw.taobao.com? Because everything looks fine to me. Or maybe it just doesn't load ? Do you have a message instead of the description ?

>>7969306
Thanks anon!
>>7968645
I was hoping for a non-American site but maybe there are none. Thanks though!
