/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

One one my dream dresses! Now I need a blouse for it though, and probably a new bag too. And some random bodyline shoes because free shipping totally justifies unneeded purchases.

I know none of the nameless poem op's have been sent out yet but I wanted to include it anyways, heh. Probably won't buy until later this month just cause it's the holidays and shit but I'm also going to have to buy some shoes for this (all of mine are bit too sweet or are the wrong color) as well as a more nicely matching bag.

just recieved a dress from closetchild's sale. it doesn't fit, my ribcage is too big. I'm pretty sad since all the other dresses by that brand fit fine. i'm thinking of selling it.

> we buy shit anyway
Yes we do. I'm sure the new guy at the Post recognizes me by face now.

Waiting upon my TB order, which I just fucking missed today, and a jar of Shiseido night cream product for my mom (Christmas gift). I hope the jar doesn't gets smashed in the mail...

I've got a few blouses (Lady Sloth and The Floral Notebook) in the mail at the moment. I don't know why I didn't expect them to take so long.
I also placed a HUGE order of FanPlusFriend stuff not too long ago. My comm took advantage of my VIP coupon from a contest a while back, and we ended up spending $1200 after discount, for 6 girls. I'm excited for my peignoir (which is an appropriate cut for lolita) and some girls got in on that Musical Palmer set while it was still being made. The order was updated as shipped today, so I should have it in three or four weeks. 20 items will take a while.
In total, I still have four items in the mail. Good lord.

>>7983231
Which dress and size, anon?

>>7983231
What dress was it?

Just this with the matching OTKs.
Non-cgl related is a new joy stick for my 3DS.

>>7983244
>>7983247
It's from jesus diamante, pic related. It was listed at a size 38, but all measurements are within my range. I did notice a similar issue with some Baby dresses before as well. I guess I just have really big ribs.

>>7983240
Link to the F+F peignoir?

I ordered it in white to go with one of my longer pink/cream JSKs.

my favorite thread

lucky keys is probably one of my favorite prints from AP this year. and last month's haul (etc biscuit and honey cake) is at the post office right now ready to be picked up. I am soo excited for everything

>>7983140
this is beautiful. grats on your dream dress!

>>7983214
can't wait to see more coords from nameless poem. that blouse is also really lovely

Weaboo shit everywhere. Will add more Taobao items after the new year probably. Mostly just wanted those shoes, the headdress, and the goddamn Clow rug. Mmmhmmmm.

Have other things in the mail as well, but they're not even vaguely cgl related, so left them off.

>>7984074
... the scarf isn't on its way to me yet. I forgot to fill a square with the right colour. Bah.

i used to hate this print in pink but i kept seeing it in cute pink/gold coords + then it popped up on closet child for dirt cheap i'm really hype ngl

Only this but so much hype

>>7984074
Source on the rug?

>>7984074
pics when you get the rug!

>leather ciffs and collar for cosplay

>six pairs of socks
>a belt

I still need to find a fucking jacket, and it seems to be an impossible task

>>7984074
Link to sailor moon disguise pen (A2)? and those charms (D3) pendant (B1)? Looked up a few for ccs after my last order but didn't find a decent quality/price one I was happy with. Review of your stuff either here or taobao thread when you get them?

I have a friend that lives across the country. We're both big Halloween nerds and have started sending packages once a year with halloweenish stuff. The one she sent just arrived. The pouch is hand made and the bat is a baby toy for my son.

Waiting on these and the lp... briar and prelude are dream dresses.

>>7984095
Rug is a pre-order. There's also a Sakura version in pink:

>>7984098
Will do! I'm fucking stoked about that rug. Some friends are doing a GO to buy a bunch in one go.

>>7984106
Pen is a preorder, same shop as the rug:

Rain House has great stuff.

>>7984164
those are cute... need moar hauls plz

My black friday stuff is starting to come in! Still waiting on some cute glasses for lolita (zenni had a buy 2 get 1 deal) but I got this $35 mystery box from too faced and a redbubble throw pillow for my boyfriend.

>>7984156
How much did you pay for vampire prelude, if you don't mind me asking? It's my dream dress too and I want to know how much I have to save for it.

>>7983412
How did you manage to get all of those in your cart?! I was able to get the high waist JSK in sax but not the headbow...

Finally going to try one of those Naked palettes that everybody raves about, and the Hello Kitty one was half price so I couldn't resist.

>>7983338
That's actually really cute and doesn't look like a pegnoir, more like a chiffon cardigan or something.

>>7984074
Fuck, someone needs to make an FMA version of that rug with transmutation circles.
>polite sage

>>7984979
Maybe they will/have? The shop it's from is mostly doing Sailor Moon and CCS stuff, but I can poke around Taobao and see if anyone has done FMA-style ones.

I went a little buyfag this month, and there are still a few auctions I'm waiting to close. I think I'll make a Taobao order once xmas is over for some cute winter clothes and some long sleeved blouses.

Didn't include christmas presents for friends who lurk here

I got this but its gonna be too tight on my boobs, I didn't realise that when I got it.
Also bought a cute rose necklace, which arrived a few days ago.
I am saving all of my money until after christmas, I do my big shop mid January usually, after the holiday rush.

>>7984164
So how much is the pen going to be in full? I see a lot of prices on there lol

Damn the pink version of the rug would actually super match my room. Must resist. Just to be sure it's 99 yuan total right?

Thanks for the links, have you ordered from rain house before? I feel like I'm going to order lot from them next time if their quality is good.

>>7985537
This is the third round of preorders, so it's 70RMB in the end. And the rug is 99RMB total, yep!

I haven't ordered from them before, but they were recommended by a friend and the prices are cheap enough that I'm happy to risk it. The Kero scarf (there's also a Spinel one, and earmuffs of both) was what drew me to make an order from the store, and I figured I'd give their other stuff a go while I was at it.

>>7984553
320 aud, I bought it from my local comm. I settledfor purple but I want Ivory and black. The print is lovely and the fabric is great for aatp. The chain on the op is removable.

>>7984979
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.lgv24T&id=42069465752&ns=1&abbucket=8#detail

Found one. It doesn't look as good as the Clow/Sakura ones though. Kind of wobbly.

I have two things in the mail right now (a blouse and a small taobao order) but the tracking for both of them isn't updating. I was told by the seller that the blouse is probably lost (ugh) and I'm too afraid to ask about my taobao order. Does China just stop scanning the tracking code when it gets too busy?

not included: classical puppets petti

>>7983239
source on the bakery sweatshirt?

TBR sent this exactly one month ago and it's still on Origin Post is Preparing Shipment. It's not unusual especially this tme of year with SAL, but I want my stuff already. argh

I got:
- 2 Classical Puppets pettis (one white, one black)
- Classical Puppets bloomers (black)
- A Surface Spell bonnet (black)
- 2 lingerie sets
- fake nails
- pink wristcuffs

and I preordered the mini trunk fukubukuro from Liz Lisa. I know this won't ship until Jan. 1st, but it's so cute and I can't wait for it to arrive.

>>7983214
Super cute blouse! I'm tempted to buy it to go with my cinema doll sk

>>7985445
The Duel Art artbook is amazing, you won't regret getting it!

>>7985608
Ivory and black are my preferred colorways too! It's a reasonable price, thank you for telling me.

>>7983140
Not a loli but that dress is gorgeous!

>>7985771
Where did you get that lingerie set?
Will I have luck finding lingerie that's cute and classy as that if my boobs are big?

>>7985771
Oh and I was referring to the bra and panties on the left.

>>7985805
There's info for 'bigger' cup/band sizes in the Taobao spreadsheets, but those particular sets only came in A/B cup sizes and I think 75cm was the largest band size.

>>7985807
Here's the link btw. I didn't see your second post until just now.

>http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=20279106858

Is it allowed to post non-lolita purchases here?

>>7986049
Go for it anon! I've seen buyfag stuff so why not?

Celestial skirt, Lucky Keys JSK and headdress, G&LB, KimonoHime, Body Shop products, used books.

I know the max on that one classical puppets petticoat is 78cm, but just how far does it stretch past that comfortably? or is that it?

>>7986075
the elastic on my CP petti is pretty thick and I wouldn't go much higher than 80 cm for it, but you could probably cut the elastic and add a little length to it because it absolutely has room to stretch. the elastic it comes with would just be way too tight as is.

>>7986092
Good choice. Maybe pick up a dimmer too, to get more variations on the speed. You can buy dimmers on eBay or even at your hardware store, since they're usually made for lamps.

>>7985816

Cute bras like these make me want a breast reduction..

Have some scarves on the way, and NSMB2 which I'm giving as a gift.

>>7983239
>Yes we do. I'm sure the new guy at the Post recognizes me by face now.

The post guy called me Miss Package and package lady when I actually had to step out of my house and sign for something.

I almost took offense because half the shit that comes here is actually someone else's things, but at the same time it's not a bad name.

Best friend bought me this for Xmas, so much hype from me... I don't have any dresses that aren't in your face so this will be fun to coord I think

>>7985745
where is that bolero from?

Red is what came in already and black marks the specific colors I got. I ordered the blouse in black but there wasn't a stock photo for the black blouse. I kinda went accessory crazy this month.

>>7987294
That beret is adorable and now I want it. Nice haul!

>>7987315
The cat one? Its actually kinda weird url. The ears are some kind of velvety texture but the rest of the hat is wool. I wear it anyway and it looks cute but I'm not sure why the difference in materials.

>>7987316
Oops, didn't notice, I meant the clef beret. And I love the Chess Story jsks.

>>7987263
Not that anon but I think it's this Infanta one

http://tw.taobao.com/item/39942178246.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1087129940.79.Yj2aQa

>>7987322
Ah my bad. I hope those berets look nice irl. I couldn't find any reviews on that shop. I'm excited for the dresses myself. I don't have any dresses from taobao so I'm hoping they will be a nice addition to my closet.

>>7987327
Don't worry, and good luck with the beret. Speaking of taobao dresses, I only have a KL OP and two Miss Point skirts, but I love them and it's nice to have lolita clothes you can wear in a more casual way or just without worrying about ruining them all the time.

>>7987331
Thanks. KL has such nice stuff maybe I'll get something from them someday.

Aw yiss

i love sweaters even though im not sure these will be practical to wear

>>7987578
oh Christ this is all terrible.

Hoping to add a bit more before the month is over. Trying to rework my wardrobe.

>>7987600
i always cringe whenever i see those animal tights

>>7987724
Why?

>>7987294
Adding this ugly book shirt because I am weak and want Watership Down on everything.

just wondering tho, if you purchased something from ebay in the beginning of november and it's getting delivered to canada, does it take way longer than the expected time? usually my stuff takes 3-4 weeks

>>7987761
depends where its coming from, if its with standard shipping and considering everyone is ordering for christmas, i would wait a bit more

How long will a package typically stay in LA customs? Just curious. It was shipped via Japan EMS. I live in the Bay Area.

>>7985756
Sorry anon, didn't see your post.

>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=41499216216
I received it by the way. It's nicer than I expected.

>>7987164
> Miss Package
That's cute as hell.

When I picked up my package, Post guy joked about how the items should last me for quite a while. If only he knew about all the shit that's currently on its way, lol.

>>7985445
Be bepqrared to get caught in every shit with that Moitie earrings. I own the necklace and it tangles with my hair/wig, with lace on my blouses an dresses, with other necklaces, even with people while hugging and this is realy
embrassing!
Moitie conects people, I guess.

It's five days after being scanned at Japan's international post office. I can't make it home for Christmas this year so I'm wishing for a Christmas Miracle so that me, Rilakkuma, and Yan can get drunk and watch movies.

>>7983239
My dorm post office comments when I haven't ordered anything in a while, and the main post office (for international packages) knows me by name.

>>7987855
Omg someone actually bought it from the bodyline thread. Post more pictures when you get it.

here's everything I'm waiting for at the moment
not included are the christmas gifts i ordered

the wrist cuffs aren't for lolita, but are for a cosplay i'm working on.

>>7987869
I'm planning on it. Sadly I gave my teenage sister all my bodyline, other than the chocoberry skirt that was buried out of sight or I would totally dress him up. Kind of hilarious how kids are, after my friend and I laughed hysterically about buying it when I went home for thanksgiving, she added a hatoful boyfriend daki to hers.
>they make hatoful boyfriend daki in the first place.

Ordered a wig and wefts from Arda during their cyber Monday sale. Unfortunately, the wefts ran out of stock and got cancelled, which means I can't start styling my wig until they restock. Ugh!
>>7987760
That movie traumatized me as a child. Loved the book though

>>7985445
hey, i'd love it if you posted a review of that f+f jsk once it arrives, anon. i really like the way it looks but i have no experience ordering from them

fucking hate ordering from mexico

it takes forever, it's been a month

i could have gone to mexico and back myself

>>7984156
adding this dress to my list my luckypack was confirmed too! Nice christmas haul for myself.

>>7988014
I have that dress in ivory/creamypeach (I can never tell which colour it is) x black. It's so damned comfy.

>>7988014
>my luckypack was confirmed too!
You whore. I put in my reservation just minutes after they opened.

>>7983136
small impulse order i just made and i'm super excited! stuff is coming from japan & china so i'm sure i'll be waiting on it

also waiting on a few packages that are gifts.

>>7988058
i love galaxxxy so much. Good pick anon.

>>7988067
thank you kind anon! & might i say u have good taste as well :-)

galaxxxy's having an xmas sale on their international site, and with the yen being so low the prices are really good!

>>7985805
Not on taobao. Elle MacPherson intimates does larger cup sizes in pretty cute stuff though

>>7988047
Aww don't be sad I'm sure if you stalk LM one will come up really cheap! I have a super fast net so that also helped. I missed out on last years so I was super prepared this year.

What do you do when your parcels never arrive? File a paypal claim?

>bought Toy March parka
>communication with seller is spotty
>am told it's been shipped
>been a ridiculously long time

I've recieved post from the US and Japan recently without delay, so I'm guessing the holiday post doesn't have as much affect on my country.

>>7988117
Do it. I remember you posted about this last week or something. Fucking bitch tempting you with toy march parka. Burn her.

>>7983333
What's that thing in the glass? The white stuff, not the flower? Link please?

>>7988132
I'd just feel like an absolute asshole if she's actually shipped it out. She's got pretty good feedback on etsy. I'll probably do it though, thanks anon!

>toy march isn't something to fuck with

>>7988117
theres no tracking?

>>7988156
No tracking or anything unfortunately, just her word that it's been shipped.

>>7988117
Not going to shit on you for not demanding tracking, but regardless of the outcome, tracking is always worth the extra money.
File a claim. If she has shipped it, you can always close it later, but once the time runs out, you're SOL.

>>7987932
The movie is one of my favorite movies and the book is my favorite book. I need it all over everything but there isn't much mercy for it.

>>7988310
>mercy
Merch I ment merch. My computer has autocorrect and it's really annoying.

>>7988157
Ask for a receipt. You get a receipt when you pay for shipping. It's not a guarantee she sent your stuff, but it's... something, I guess.

>>7988292
Shipping was included in the total, and it's my fault for being too stingy to fork out an extra $15 for tracking.

>>7988334
I asked her twice exactly when she shipped it out, and I was only told it's been shipped out and my second message went ignored even though she's been active so I really doubt she'd show me the reciept!

Thanks anons, I still have a bit more time until I can no longer file a claim so I'll give her one more week. If push comes to shove, I'll file a chargeback with my credit card company.

>>7988117
How long has it been.
Also yes Paypal claim has a very good chance at getting you your money back if you do it in time.

>>7987855
I bought it too...for my boyfriend.
He thinks mr.yan is kawaii as hell so I bought him a bodyline seifuku and some shoes to match.
Waiting on all this stuff,I've been broke this month buying gifts for family and friends so no burando although I did manage to reserve nameless poem and I still have jellyfish coming in the mail. The bunny socks are also for me but everything else is for my boo.

It's all finally in the mail on the way to me. The meta dress will probably arrive before the iromuji, nagajuban, or the kitsuke kit.

>>7988970
Yoh sauce on the kitsch kit and iromuji?

>>7988997
Silly autocorrect - kitsuke

>>7988546
Can I get a sauce on that marijuana sweater? My boyfriend would love it.

>>7989010
http://www.ebay.com/itm/371187692110
I too had to look it up.

>>7988997
Not that anon but judging by the pic it's this ebay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/311099078143?

I've been eying it for myself but I haven't bought it yet.

>>7988997
I got my iromuji here: http://www.kimonoya-japan.net/product-list/25

And the kitsuke kit here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311099078143

>we still buy shit anyways.

I thought I told you that we won't stop
Eh eh, eh eh

>>7989476

All that wine, unf.

Two wishlist dresses and bidding on another, artbooks, and a vidya preorder. Waiting to pay for a figure preorder and might add a few mugs too....

Help.

During this time of year, do any of you seagulls tip or give a gift/card to you postal worker? Will they accept it?
I'm thinking about getting the EMS guy something.

>>7989476
>Dat headbow

SO MUCH WANT

As for me pic related. If it isn't sold out by time I get the invoice anyway.

>>7989581
The USPS guy usually gets a tip from me. Stick it in a card and thank him for caring for your stuff. I usually try to catch him to deliver it personally, as I find the people who cover routes switches a lot during the holidays.

>>7989581
I'm making my regular mailman a scarf as thanks.

>>7989633
what a sweetheart!

>>7988093
Why would you tell me this I spent all my money on christmas and taobao already.

>>7989581
They can accept gifts, but aren't "supposed" to take money but will anyway especially if you put it into a card. They usually get boxes upon boxes of chocolates this time of year lol but one guy I knew got a bottle of whiskey.

>>7989605
When that happens, it's usually the CCAs on rotation that are paid a fraction of the amount of regulars that are covering the really heavy miserable hour holiday shifts with barely any overtime compensation (USPS doesn't pay any penalty overtime in the month of December.) Tip them too if you can, even if just some cookies or something, their jobs blow major cock this time of year and they're nobody's "regulars" and take different routes every day so nobody wants to tip them. Where I live, they're usually CCAs from a nearby town that get bumped over to our larger area to help with the rush, and the poor things are extra lost and running behind because they don't even know the way around.

It also sucks because the CCAs are the ones that are forced to work Christmas Day for package delivery. I once got an EMS package delivered on Christmas and I felt terrible about it, since I was expecting it to come the next day. I gave her some cookies but I wish I could have prepared more for her.

Also during the summer, one of the most amazing things you can do for your carrier is offer them a bottled water or gatorade. It's way more appreciated than you can imagine.

Combination of things I just ordered, sales, and things that have been stuck in the mail for a while.

ok so i ordered a jsk from lacemarket and I think I got scammed?

The seller gave me a tracking number (I can only assume Royal Mail because it's a two letters, 9 numbers and the last two letters are PL for Poland) but it's apparently invalid?

any suggestions?

>>7989824
She might have typed it incorrectly. Did you get it enough time to get into the system? Sometimes they take a day or two before it starts tracking.

>>7989841
I thought so too, but she said she'd mailed it out Nov. 27th and didn't get me to tracking number until Dec. 9th so I can only assume the number would be working by now. It get that it'll take a while since it's international but I figure I should at least be able to track it?

>>7989701
Man, that's fucked up. I complain a lot about how sassy and lazy my dorm post office is, but damn I'm glad they don't work the holidays. I'll probably bring my main post office buddy some cookies or fudge though when my Yanpillow arrives. He's super cool and always asks about what I've ordered this time.

>>7989581
Fuck no, our postal workers are rubbish. If they actually provided a good service, then yes I would.

>>7989605
How much is an acceptable tip? 40$?

>>7990009
Its by %. I usually tip 20% but thats generous. 10-15% is the norm

>>7988035
Can't wait to have it on my body! Thanks, It's hard to find nice meta but it is one of my favorite brands! I really want the lsd type carnival dress! Does the fabric feel nice?

>>7985445
Really liking the look of that jsk too, despite the slightly odd shape of the neckline on the mannequin like there is no armpit room.IDC if people think red and black is ita, that's cute.

>>7985805
Buy Figleave, Curvy Kate, Nordstrom or from Brastop, they carry alot of brands up to K cup. I go there because finding a 30DD I like without it being expensive or dumb cashiers eyeing me up trying to tell me I don't know my size is pretty damn impossible.

>>7988310
I'm in love with the book, too and so disappointed most people noped out of the film and haven't bothered to read it.

Anyone else (from outside the US) having issues with Amazon tracking numbers and delivery times? There are three parcels due (one order, split up due to size I assume), and none of their tracking numbers work. Amazon's site gives me an error saying "We're sorry - tracking information is not currently available. Please try again later." And has done since it shipped.

The usual pattern of two letters-nine numbers-US hasn't been used for the numbers either. They're each a string of nonsense that doesn't track through any postal site I've tried. Two say the carrier is "AUSSIE_POST", the third says "I-PARCEL".

All three are also about two weeks late by their predicted date (I ordered in mid-November, and chose expedited to get them here before Christmas), but Amazon has said "wait until December 21st. If they still aren't there, we'll refund you or send new ones." I'm a bit at a loss here, because while there are a frivolous things for me in there, the bulk of the order consists of Christmas gifts. I can find other gifts last minute, but am I just fucked on these packages ever surfacing?

>>7989886

Same here. Thieves, liars. 9 times out of 10 I have to go to the depot myself because ParcelForce likes to drive right past your house as you are looking out the window without even stopping to leave a slip or they don't turn up at all and lie to you that they attempted delivery.

>>7990138
Are they from amazon or from a shop selling through amazon? The last time I ordered from a shop selling through amazon they never sent my shit and ignored my emails despite being a US based shop so I had to file a dispute to get my money back.

>>7990138
I ordered something for an anon in Australia and it won't let me track it either. It gives me an expected delivery date though.

>>7990138
Anon within the US here: Recently I've had trouble with tracking numbers from outside the US not working until they hit US soil, I suppose because of the rush they don't have time to scan them over there or something. Had this issue with packages from China and Singapore. So that could be it.

By the sound of the info you have though, that's really shady if it's a seller through amazon and not amazon themselves. I'd try to contact the seller. If it's amazon themselves I wouldn't worry as much but it may be Christmas rush issues.

>>7989581
I'm thinking of getting at least a thank you card or something to my DHL delivery guy if I see him before christmas (probably). He carries so much shit up the stairs thanks to my shopping addiction.

>>7990156
>>7990232
>>7990408
Through Amazon itself. I avoided anything that needed Marketplace sellers because the shipping triples, or worse.

I've been using Amazon since like 2009 and never had a tracking issue until now. I was wondering if maybe they've changed something? Because the tracking numbers are particularly weird looking.

>>7989581

Necrosarium. The series comes in red and blue.

I managed to sell a bunch of dresses so I was able to buy some new things. Black cardigan didn't arrive to the taobao agent and got refunded so that was strange. All my spare money is being used for christmas so selling stuff was a good idea.

>>7991204
Oh, and the Innocent world JSK arrived yesterday. Worth the low price but some of the sewing is average.

>>7988546

>>7991224
Thanks for the IW update, I was debating on getting the back one.

>>7991261
You're welcome! The fabric is soft and light, just a few areas fraying and the hook above the zipper is falling off. I bought mine for $55USD second hand so I'm happy.

>>7991257
Here you go! It comes in black, red, and white. https://www.etsy.com/listing/201106286/ I needed something large enough for my camera supplies.

Nothing fancy, but a few secondhand pieces for my daily wardrobe. I'll get some more exciting things after Christmas.

28C-D. The only places I've not been looked at like a crazy person was Rigby and Peller, and surprisingly Boux Avenue

>>7989755
Please make a review after Boguta shirts arrive! I'm in need of shirts but I'm afraid of their quality.

>>7991282
Will do! Boguta originally sent me two of the same blouse accidentally, so the order has taken twice as long.

Ordered from ap via tenso for the first time and I'm really nervous. I hope it gets sent to the right place.
Also ap never charged me shipping, do I get charged shipping through tenso then once the order comes in?
I didn't think I would ever go through tenso after they changed the site but I just had to buy that accordion bag.

>>7991281
Another 28er! Have you actually gotten one with 28 as a band size? I can't get it in store here unless I go to a specialty store that will cost me an arm and a leg. I settle for a converted size (larger band, smaller cup) at local stores. Just wondering if having a 28 band bra actually makes a big difference?

>>7991705
tenso will charge your for their service fees and international shipping once the item arrives at their warehouse and you choose to send it out.

>>7990150
This every time. My neighbor has a home job and tries to run out and catch the lady for us and herself when were expecting things but a lot of the time the lady gets away

>>7989755
Nice Necrosarium haul. Hope you're prepared to be disappointed by that bag in the lower left, though. I haven't seen a single review where it arrived in decent shape.

>>7989541
Aaand added the other wishlist dress to my mail. Fuck, I've spent way too much money.

My friend bought this for me for Christmas. I'm so excited!

>>7989581
I'm getting mine a gift card for Tim Horton's, it's a Canadian thing. We chat about once a week (I work from home and get a LOT of packages) and he's so much better than any of the other postal delivery people I've had at previous addresses.

Ordered this yesterday but who knows if I will actually get it. 95% of the time IW stuff is sold out before they process my order (I've tried for lucky packs like six times now and never gotten a single one!).

>>7991864
Thank you so much.
Any idea how long they usually take to arrive?

>>7992053
Tim Horton's exists in America too.

That whole the online store being closed so often thing IW does is very annoying. Has it always been like that? I've ordered a few things from them 2 years ago and don't remember their store being run that way. Welp, time to sit and pray that the dress I want isn't sold out.

>>7992066
True, but Canadians are REALLY obsessed with it. Americans have only had shops for the last 5-6 years, I think. Before that, I used to do bulk shipments of their coffee to pals who were living stateside!

I remember ordering once via a Japanese form, but that was at least 3-4 years ago. The webshop used to be better, but I think they have the same problem most lolita brands suffer from: it's hard to get good bilingual staff for the wages that they can afford to pay.

>>7991281
>>7991746
>tfw 28F
>muh homies ;_;

I've only recently discovered my real size and so I am shocked at how much more expensive these bras are. Currently wearing a 32C on the smallest setting until I have enough rubles for good bras.

>>7987600
where did you get that skirt anon?

>>7987939
>>7990098
It's actually really shitty irl. Like I wasn't expecting a lot from F+F but the dress can barely fit a petticoat under and it looks awkward with one. I bought the biggest size to make sure my boobs would fit it and it's quite a bit bigger than the 40" max. The print placement is also fucked. I'm getting in contact with F+F to see what can be done about it, but not expecting much.

>>7991746
Yes, if you find the 30 band loose at all. I found shopping in China was really good as the 70 band there was significantly tighter than a 30 band in the UK. I usually wear a 30B-C and look for companies that run small, but I definitely notice the difference with a 28 band. It depends on the fit you like and how bony your ribcage is as well - as some people who measure 28" find 28 bands uncomfortably tight due to ribcage shape

>>7992136
Clearance section of asos, amazon, and ebay. Shock absorber has decent sports bras that get sold on ebay for like... $10 shipped, and Curvy Kate and Panache often have bras for similar prices on amazon and ebay

>>7992066
>That whole the online store being closed so often thing IW does is very annoying. Has it always been like that? I've ordered a few things from them 2 years ago and don't remember their store being run that way. Welp, time to sit and pray that the dress I want isn't sold out.

Even if they did, they never used to be so slow to invoice and send things. I honestly am really upset with how my orders have gone in the past year, I've had to email them after 2 weeks of silence to get any kind of communication every single time. They used to be so good...

>>7992299
That's disappointing to hear. I was planning to shop at IW more next year, now that JetJ have raised their prices above what I'm willing to pay, but I have no patience for crappy customer service.

>>7991884
For the price I'm pretty happy with it! There is a scratch on the left wing, but otherwise not bad.

>>7983136
Got my shit.

I think I have a couple other things coming in but nothing /cgl/ related.

>>7992136
omg high chest twin. So far the best fit I found were 32Cs from La Senza, got a few during a sale and was surprised how much better they feel than my previous bras. I have a 32C from VS but maybe because the style is different, I'm not sure but my LS ones give a much better lift and...shape? I have a gift card from VS for christmas though so I might give them another try with a different style. Definitely check out LS if you have one in your area! They have seasonal sales all the time so maybe you can snag a couple for a decent price. I'm from Canada though so I'm not sure how popular it is elsewhere.

>>7992280
It's even hard to find 30s here, or if we have them they don't go up high enough cup size-wise that will fit me. Might try to find something on taobao next time I make a small haul, just worried about the listed size being true to the real thing.

>>7992756
I'd honestly try asos, just because they have such a good returns policy. That way you can check the fit of different brands and then buy them cheaper on clearance

>>7992430
Those are amazing. Are they official merch?

>>7992784
By official, you mean the original AMUSE alpacasso brand, no. But they're cute as fuck

One is a pre-order, one is a Christmas gift. I should have a Batgirl hoodie coming in that I ordered months ago, but that probably won't be for some time.

>>7992818
Fuck me, I'm not even sure how I managed to do this. I fucked up.

>>7992818
What's with the big white space? Did you forgot to put an item in?

>>7992821
lol did you use paint? You probably pulled the space down to make it bigger but didn't realize that your screen stayed at the bottom of the image and never zoomed out to check the overall image after you pasted everything in.

>>7992835
Haha, you're right! I probably put everything on the lower half thinking it was the entire space. Well. Egg on my face.

>>7991864
Just curious but can you use your tenso address to buy from Japanese shops,like Jane Marple for example? I want to order a few things but the ss fees I might incur on a 1.5k order worry me.

>>7992299
Thats really sad to hear. I have no idea why they would think thats okay to do. Their service used to be amazing.

>>7992053
>>7992299
>>7992345
>>7992985
Their slow service has bugged me too.
>that one order that took 5 weeks to be shipped

People misusing their email doesn't help either. I guess some customers expect a speedy reply to orders, and when they don't get one they send multiple follow up emails which only delays orders more. I get following up with them if a reply takes a while, but some people jump the gun and do it after a few days even though IW clearly shows their opening times on their website.

>>7984109
Oh man, I have those same tarot cards. I love all the cute little creepy designs they have. That's super sweet of you and your friend to do for each other.

>>7992059
They ship via EMS, so it's pretty much standard shipping times for that? I live in Europe, and customs usually latch onto my stuff, but it's never taken more than two weeks for me.

>>7992973
You can use it to buy from any Japanese shop, basically. They give you a Japanese address and phone number. The only thing that doesn't work are places that only accept Japanese bank or COD for domestic addresses.

Got this for 4700 yen and I'm super-pleased.
Pretty sure it's the black/pink, not the black/white that I was after, but I'm okay with that since it was a steal.

Sort of on topic for this thread, not sure where else to ask... Has anyone ever shipped a magazine US to Canada? Is it still about $6 or does the price leap exponentially?

>>7993923
just look up the rates on USPS.com or whatever shipping company you prefer.

Also waiting on a bunch of Japanese snacks (for gifts), a few cheap hair bows and possibly a bolero. I blasted away so much money this month. Stress is so bad for my wallet.

Lovely haul, anon.

>>7991021
Updating on this situation...

One parcel has now hit Australia. The tracking from BEFORE it hit Australia has disappeared from the record, and has been replaced with just "Packaged arrived at courier facility." The other two are still MIA, but this gives me some hope that they might show up in time.

>>7994856
... forgot to update before as well. The tracking started working sporadically a bit after my post. Half of the time, it would list the tracking information (if I clicked the "track your order" link in my email), the other half it wouldn't. The other two are still only listing tracking info sporadically.

>>7994217
Is that an AP knockoff? I'm p sure that bag's from AP but that looks nothing like their stock pictures.

>>7989755
Used money I would have spend on christmas presents for the ex to get these too.

>>7989824
>>7989855

Message her back and tell her you're having problems tracking it. If it's registered mail and from Poland, chances are you'll need Poland's tracking system (or do what I do and use track-trace.com). At the very least the seller can take her own tracking number down to the post office and have them find out where it is.

Also keep an eye on the days since your transaction and be ready to file a dispute before it lapses.

>>7994952
Nice! Good decision anon

>>7994902
That's the Cinema Doll bag.

>>7989824

>people need to learn to use track-trace.com

Is it normal for registered SAL from Japan to stop tracking right after it leaves Japan?

>>7995009
No, it should update when it's on plane. Every 10 miles of flight.

>>7995011
Or when the pilot presses the "update tracking" button.

Where did you get the snacks from? They would be great gifts for some of my friends

Bought the small one because it was cheaper at $13 and $12 shipping than the $50+ buy it now ones. As soon as I won it, the seller listed the big one for the same price. My internal rage is so strong.
It doesn't matter though, as long as it comes in time for my bf's birthday next month (being shipped from Hong Kong)

Happy Holidays, everyone!
>>7992430
These are so cute!

>>7996063
I bought the snacks from JList. I looked the prices with a few other stores, the prices seemed comparable and they have a decent variety. I know there's a few subscription snack boxes that are sold at a good price. I would suggest looking up Youtube videos of Japanese snack hauls if you don't like JList.

Question for ya'll. If a package is stolen or lost, would you guys say it's the seller's or the buyer's responsibility? Would you guys think a refund of any sort would be called for in that situation?

This works with nothing in my wardrobe but the tacky border print was too good to pass up.

>>7996584
Depending on the shipper but it's their responsibility. Not the seller or the buyer. Seller can't control FedEx, USPS, UPS, etc. If it's stolen then its your management's fault and you are just shit out of luck unless you have insurance. Once it leaves the seller's hands and they have proof of shipping it's not their fault.

But if you have a package coming and you don't pick it up from the post office after 30 days or you pick it up and leave it somewhere after deliver then it's your fault 100%.

>>7985512
can I have it

>>7996658
So if a package was gone without a trace after it was "delivered" and the seller just shipped it without any notification if they put insurance even though you paid them enough for it you would just suck it up?

>>7996821
Or I should say they didn't put insurance I mean.

>>7985445
Do you have a link to the socks anon?

>>7996821
That's why you get traced insurance anon. If you don't get insurance you are taking a chance for your package to be lost or stolen. If you do have insurance the seller is suppose to give you a tracking number and you follow that. That's what insurance is for. After that point it's outside of the seller's hands and whatever happens is due to the shipping service. If the shipping service gives you crap then you have to report them and deal with them. Unless the seller does something like not give you a tracking number, the item isn't as described, or not ship your item you can't really blame them/file a claim. Sellers can't control the post office or whatever you use.

I had a $60 Vita game stolen from my mail box with paid insurance shipping and Nis America was kind enough to send me another one after the post office claimed "LOL not our fault," even though it was signed insurance.

>I have no idea how the hell someone stole that.

dear god, i can't wait.

my closet is mainly pink and black.
I recently got into lolita, so I think I'm off to a good start.

>>7996859
>*In some cases the seller doesn't even have to give you notice about tracking because the buyer should already know if its printed on the paypal receipt, email, or otherwise. It's just a common curtsy/etiquette thing.

>>7996859
it's not the post offices fault. Their job is to get it to your mailbox not guard it till you get home. That's like complaining to the dealer that somebody stole your PT cruiser

>>7996909
It shouldn't have been left in the mailbox in the first place though. They were supposed to hand it to the receiver and get a signature as proof of delivery to ensure that shit like that didn't happen.

>>7996909
Signed insurance means you sign for it and receive it in your damn hands, not in your post box.

>>7992066
Yeah but Tim Hortons is a Canadian thing. Not an American thing.

>>7996909
Actually in this case it was the post office's fault because it was signed insurance and I had a sign that says on my box, "WE are always home ring the bell if its a package, a check, or a bank notice!" because of just missing the mail person or in one case my neighbor stole my bank notice and used my account number to commit fraud.

>mfw they sighed up for a T mobile account with it and T mobile thought it was me even after I showed them my ID that had a different name then the account.

>>7997831
This is why the cluster boxes really need to become the standard. They're so much safer and more efficient. They're great for packages that don't need to be signed for, too.

>>7997862
The only place you see those where I come from are college dorms and trailor parks

>>7997870
I've lived on different sides of the country and they're all over the place in suburbs and apartment complexes.

>>7997870
They're all over the suburbs where I live and a short walk to the corner is worth never having to worry about shit getting stolen.

I think Canada is trying to replace door to door delivery with these?

>>7997862
We have those here, my idiot USPS courier places my packages in the wrong boxes at least 3 times a year. Neighbor only once fessed up to the roommate hoarding a batch of my boxes in their closet. Never found the rest of my stuff.

>>7997870
They're really common in planned communities/commercial suburbs these days. I don't have one where I live now because the house I'm in is older, but the next few streets over were redeveloped, and they've got a set of these for each block.

I have something similar to this on my street but those package mailboxes are a lot smaller so the postman has to comes to my door anyways if it's a decently sized package or box. I live in the suburbs outside the GTA (Canada). I've lived here for 20 years and it's always been the same mailbox on my street.

>>7997893
>I think Canada is trying to replace door to door delivery with these?

I had those, then door to door and now because Canada Post is run by morons we are going back to mail boxes. Fun fact the new ones are suppose to be harder to break into... which was proven wrong when thieves just took the whole fucking unit.

>>7998588
>thieves just took the whole fucking unit
Well that's a new level of wow. I wonder if it was people just protesting against the loss of door to door delivery, or if somebody was that desperate for junk mail with the possibility of a $50 check from somebody's granny.

>>7998603
Probably people being spiteful. Or someone who saw a large package delivered and assumed it would be worth something. Or junkies. We used to get junkies trying to break open our mail boxes when I lived in a non-gated apartment complex around Christmas because, like you said, grannies/aunties tend to send kids money if they can't see them over the holidays.

Lariat/necklace and bodyline shoes should be here hopefully tomorrow or the next day. These awful tacky wonderful kuma shoes maybe by the end of the week.

Got these clutches from ASOS after some anon posted them in the mail thread, and goddamn they are awesomely big. I don't know why I expected them to be burger-sized.

When I ordered I believe the site did say that shipping should take 5-8d ays. I also understand that there's a holiday rush during this time. Would it be unreasonable to contact them to see if they could get anymore info on where it is on the 19th? Or will I likely just get a "it's stuck in the rush" answer?

>>7998817
Nice haul!

I'm gettin' real pissed, /cgl/

I paid extra for this wig specifically because it was listed as being located in the USA. There were cheaper ones from China, all probably from the same source anyway, but I needed it in a hurry. Shit still isn't even in the USA. The shop's location is listed as being in Japan, but all of their items are miraculously shipping from China. They have good reviews so I'm not concerned about scams, I'm just so angry that it's taking so long to get here.

>>7998817

I finally got the last of the items I bought during Aliexpress's 11/11 sale. I thought it was lost forever, cause even though it was EMS it took a full month from when it left China to when it hit the US.

>>8001732

>>8001969

Thankfully yes. All the items are plastic and most are very flat (all the plates), but I was worried about the sundae cups. Luckily they came out OK!

Still pretty mad at Canada posts incompetence though

>>8002395

>>7995009
Normally it doesn't show up again on tracking until it arrives in my country, however I'm waiting for 2 packages that left Tokyo on the 5th Dec and there still hasn't been an update.
