/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This Kira Imai artbook. Two GLBs. Two tubes of Japanese toothpaste.

I didn't realize how much stuff I was waiting on until I made this.

>>8202582
Just curious, why toothpaste? Is it an ingredient or flavor thing?

>>8202604

I can't help but snigger each time I see BL use pik to describe pink. Why not pnk? Also pick means cock or dick in Dutch, hence the sniggering part (Dutchfag reporting in!). Yes I'm immature lol.

>>8202604
where is that adorable cat shirt from?

>>8202625
>subscribe to my blog!

The stuff on the top row just arrived the last few days. Currently waiting on bottom row to be shipped.

Thank you American Apparel Anon from the last thread, I got 4 pairs of work pants for $40!

>>8202652
Shit, those shoes are cute as fuck. Source?

>>8202656
Axes femme. I don't think they're in stock anymore but they were called Napoleon Pumps.

>>8202633
Bless the anon who posted it in another thread. I kind of want to get the other style too.

There's a bunch of other cool designs, but they're only printed on the front.

Still waiting for my AP celestial JSK and bonnet in sax...

Lolita Taobao order:
>two OPs
>one JSK
>four skirts
>two blouses
>a vest
>a capelet
>5 hair accessories
>a bag

And a bag, some socks and a wig from secondhand sales too.

>>8202652
I am unspeakably jelly of that VM dress, been on my wishlist for ages. Where'd you manage to snag it from?

>>8202604
Sauce on gems up top? I'm in need!!!

Every time I think I'm close to having an empty collage I end up buying more. Someone take my wallet from me.

>>8202751

I've only seen it for sale a couple times before this and didn't want to miss it again, so I jumped on it as soon as I saw it!

It popped up on lacemarket yesterday, sold by a Japanese reseller (takoyako co).

>>8202853
>buying from takoyakico
>thinking they're japanese
poor thing.

takoyakico are two fat white chicks living in japan who buy from CC and jack the prices up to afford their apartment. i've missed out on CC pieces because of them so many times only to see them listed on LM for 3x the price.

>>8202860

Damn that's really shitty then.

I check CC daily, but I haven't sent this VM dress listed on there recently. They probably got it in store and I never would have gotten it because it wasn't posted on CC. I'll just make sure to avoid them in the future, but compared to the original price for this dress it doesn't seem too bad given western markups on brand. Looking at old egl sales prices it's ranged from $170 - $270.

>>8202614
Got a tube during a trip last year to use while I was traveling. The texture and flavor are very different. Hard to describe, but there is a nice sweetness to it. My boyfriend ordered it because he loves the stuff.

made this to convince myself to stop spending money but it ended up making me bite the bullet and put out the cash for the cutsew. I just need some socks, get some patches and do some crafting to put together a coordinate I have planned. There's also a red blouse I don't have a picture of.

Seriously though, self, no more.

>>8202935
What shop is the cutsew from? I can't read the logo. Thanks.

>>8203020
cheriecerise.com. Be warned, i read on lacemarket auctions (how I discovered this webstore) that you should consider the minimum measurements the "size" to be under because it's not as stretchy as it looks. My measurements are in the Size 1 range but I ordered Size 2 to be safe.

>>8185638
Got two of my parcels in the mail, thank jeebus.The girl I bought the dress from overcharged me double on shipping fees, so yeah, not too impressed with that since the conversion rate is shit for me to begin with. On the bright side, my bonnet matches my BtSSB jsk perfectly and I have all the items I need for my gift swap meet. Waiting on a bulk order of tights from Aliexpress, but I think those might be lost within the void because the tracking number doesn't seem to register on Canada Post.

Hopefully it attaches my image this time.

sage because its a rant

pretty ticked. Last week, usps misplaced or lost two of packages that should have been at my address. it came with tracking and said it was in there but it wasn't. there is a gigantic apartment number on my mailbox and definitely could fit inside so i don't know how it would be misplaced
i called the usps number and they said they sent an email and gave me confirmation number saying they will call me in 48 hours. 3 days past including a sunday and no call so i called usps again. this time they gave me the post office's number and they said they didn't find any packages left at the place.
how the FUCK does two packages gets misplaced or lost in one week? not to mention one kiwiberry order that im pretty sure is gone as well because it should have been here by now. i hightly doubt its neightbors since i had packages delivered to the mailbox just fine before this past week as well as a larger mailbox all of us toss in misplaced mail or general 'current resident' letters at. not to mention majority of them are just elderly
i just don't know what to do anymore since that circle lens didnt have a tracking number provided so theres no actual proof it was sent.
i dont think i can trust usps anymore so i can't even order anything right now

>>8203979
Definitely call the post office and ask to talk to the person who works your route to find out if they can remember what they did with them.

>>8203992
when i called the post office in charge of my area, i spoke to THREE people in the span of 15 minutes. the last person said theyll talk to the person who does that route but i dont think they did and probably won't tell me
i cant even wait for the postal worker to ask because of classes and work

>>8203216
Aaa wooser.

>>8204011
Well that's utter shit, anon. I'm sorry.

>>8203182
I wouldn't worry, anon. For some reason only about half of my AliExpress tracking numbers from the past few months worked on the Canada Post site at all, and yet they've all been arriving perfectly fine/decently on time.

>>8204016
Wooser bro be my bro! I love the show and nobody knows it.

Sorry for being off topic here, but this seems like the best place to ask since this board seems to be predominantly frequented by the femanons of 4chan and I need a larger sample of presumably female opinions.

What do you guys think of role reversal?

You know... being on top, teasing the guy like a guy would typically tease a girl, being the big spoon (regardless of any height difference), generally taking the lead in the relationship.

Pic related. I think this conveys what I'm talking about pretty well.

Thanks in advance.

>>8204546
Fuck off with this shit, go back to r9k

>>8204546

>>8204546
>being the big spoon
>role reversal
Have you ever shared your bed with another human being, you poor soul?

>>8202604

Bottom right spoon is gorgeous ~

>>8204601
It looks like a plastic toy and probably is.

No photos to share because I don't like posting really incomplete coords, but my CL Night Carnival OP came in today! It's definitely heavier than I expected but the quality is really nice and the print is just a bit less bright in person than it was on my computer screen (making it easier to match. The colors don't clash at all.)

This little shit is still stuck in customs.
I'm hoping for a letter today.

I've just put in a bid for another dress, but I think I might lose it because I put it in too late (meanwhile, I can see two Japonica accounts fighting over it, lol)

Oh well, at least I have these two to look forward to.

>>8204764
Those are both super pretty and I'm not usually one for pastels/busy prints.

>>8204546
I like role reversal as I like the normal role distribution. Actually, not being able to switch is such a complete turn-off for me (plus a guy adamantly refusing to take the typical 'feminine' role probably has self-esteem issues).

> sage for being completely OT

>>8204962
Damn, forgot to sage. Sorry.

>>8204802

Aw, thanks. I realise they're not as popular as Marine Kingdom/Dream Marine, but I love this kind of detailed floral prints.

>>8204067
Thanks anon! It stopped updating last week, so I've been a bit worried about it.

On the bright side, I unexpectedly got my Omocat order in the mail today. My post guy chuckled when we saw my bed head since I rushed to the door. Heh. My glitch shirt is a M and looks super wide, though.

>>8205104
How long ago did you order the omocat stuff?
I bought the stupid tamagotchi sweater when it released and it just now shipped out.

>>8205157
I made my order March 3rd and it was shipped out sometime on the 17th. The delay in my order was due to the crop top I wanted being out of stock. I didn't get an email about it, but instead I had to go through the FAQs page and find the status of my order that way. They quickly refunded me the cost of the crop top and it was shipped the next day.

This beauty including the blouse in pic. Said I wasn't going to get it, did it anyway.

costume767 & costume217

i ordered double of the costume217 for a friend and i. im hoping to wear one of these to sakura matsuri!

>>8206174
That maid outfit is cute AF anon but I hope you have boobs. I don't and it's so saggy in the front.

>>8202772
If you search for "10pc mixed gemstone" it comes up with a lot of listings you can bid on!
>>8204601
>>8204604
It was only $.80 so I'm not expecting much, I thought it would be a neat little tea spoon.

I also forgot to add the chocolate coasters I got too.

Same anon from >>8203979 and >>8204011

What are some other options besides asking a friend to receive my packages? I can't do that forever. PO Boxes are pretty expensive, no? I can't trust USPS anymore. I don't order packages often

>>8202604
>sakura

I'm waiting on both Figma and FigureArts, AND the nendo Tomoyo

Jesus, take my credit card.

>>8206232
sauce please

>tfw my parasol and my shoes are going to inevitably arrive just far enough apart that I'll have to take two seperate trips to the post office instead of one to pick them up
it's so incoveniently located too, and only open during really limited hours why

>>8206270
Prices may vary but what I can tell, the most expensive USPS 6 month box is $55 or so.

>>8205104
Anon, how's the general fit of the items? are the measurements accurate?

>>8206180
i have a bust of ~100 cm and i ordered the 2L because i heard it runs small. how fucked am i?

>>8206373
just checked my fee group and size of box but its over 100 per 6 months

>>8206446
sorry *160

>>8206423
I'd say so. Unfortunately nothing is as long as I would have hoped, but then again, I'm on the tall side. I ordered an XS, M and a L and my measurements are roughly 33-26-35. The sleeves are nice and long on the sweater (size L) and the XS fits nice and snug like I wanted it to without being tight. Next time I'll probably get a size M for the sweater, though.

>>8206490
This is exactly what I was wondering, our measurements are pretty close but I'm pretty gangly arm wise so was worried about sleeve length. I was going to get the large jumper but it's sold out so might just go for M and hope it still looks alright if things aren't as long in the body

Super excited for all of this holy cripes.

>>8206511
I'm around 5'7-5'8" and the sleeves actually go past my wrists, I'm sure you'll be a-ok to swing for a M.

>>8206515
sauce on the phone case thing? holy frick it's adorable

>>8206519
Thanks anon, I'm 5'7 so this is perfect

>>8206561
It was from eBay, Korilakkuma knockoff. They have sizes for a huge range of phones -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cute-3D-Funny-Teddy-Bear-Cool-Plush-Toy-Doll-Cover-Case-For-Apple-Samsung-Phones-/321256400211

Got these bad boys today in the mail. IC pair are a bit too big but I will make them fit, they must fit.

>>8206446
Is that for a big box or a small box? Because I think if something won't fit in your box they just leave you a note and you can get an employee to get your package. I would think if you got the smallest/cheapest one available it would work just as well.

Waiting for all these stuff... Life has not been the same since I discovered taobao forwarding.

>>8206275
Oh man, I was really tempted to get the Tomoyo nendo too. I might cave soon.
>>8206280
http://www.animicausa.com/shop/Kitchen-and-Tabletop/Chocolate-Coasters/tpflypage.tpl.html
Free shipping too!

>>8207458
Forgive me for being ignorant
but what is forwarding?

>>8207487
You buy your shit yourself, and people just ship it to you instead of they buy it for you and ship it to you after quality check.

>>8207458
Review those Bodyline school shoes when you get them please?

>>8207458
It's so freaking cheap it's hard to not buy things or have at least a few items piled up in your cart. Me

>>8207275
for size 3. yeah thats true. just dont want to miss picking up packages if my schedule wont let me pick anything up

Waiting on a wig. Epic Cosplay's website says free shipping usually takes a week, but I usually get it in 3 days. Now it looks like it will actually take a week (I ordered on Sunday and they haven't put it in the mail yet) and I feel let down because they spoiled me with their better-than-posted fast shipping in the past.

This complaint is stupid and I don't need the wig for a month; I'm just bored and refresh the USPS tracker a lot.

Sweet baby jesus, USPS is being slow as molasses in january.

> shitty bodyline petti
> sponge bar for knitting machine
> clamp for knitting machine

>>8207580
I feel u.

> box was sent out Feb 17

>>8207487
Yep, you buy things from taobao with your own taobao account, they'll send it to an address in China which consolidates it and ships it to your address. This way you don't deal with agent fees or out of stock issues because the agent took too long.

>>8207500
Sure, they've left japan a while ago so they should be here soon

>>8207557
I would go to the post office and talk to an employee about what box to get and how long they hold packages and stuff.

Bodyline package is out for delivery! Four down, three to go!

>>8207612
Do you have a good guide/tutorial to use it?
Sorry, I'm new at this.

>>8207644
Seconding this as I would like to know!

>>8207644
>>8207864
The Taobao topic has one.

>>8206174
i ordered these two this past monday and they've already arrived!!

i ordered the 2L with the maid costume and i have a 100 cm bust, and it fits me very well, but on the small side. definitely order a size up.

the seifuku i ordered in L for a friend and i and i'm not sure how i feel. i heard that the seifuku run large in the bust so that's why i opted for the L size, but hmm. the sleeves reach my wrists comfortably, but my boobs really fill out the shirt a little too much so my belly peeks out. i might try it with a more reducing bra to see how i feel. also, the pleats are sewn at the bottom. am i supposed to cut those off?

sorry if no one cares for this review and it's spammy.

How long until fanplusfriend ship out? My order has been sitting at Awaiting Shipment for 9 days now and it's pissing me off.

>>8207458
I know this isn't the taobao thread but would you mind linking the pink peter pan collar blouse, and the pink ruffly sweater with the white outline details, please?

>>8207644
It's sort of like using Tenso really

Getting the black set in pic related! I'm excited. It and my new art tablet (Intuos Pen, small) should be here tomorrow.

Got a shitton of socks and tights to wear with all the skirts and Liz Lisa dresses I just bought. Some tights I didn't even bother putting up photos because I forgot.

Got the adorable milk sweater-dress and 3 different colored milk bags because I have no self-control.

Also FINALLY snagged me those fuckin wing sandals!! I am happy.
I want more Liz Lisa dresses, though, so I'm prowling on FB. But nearly all the posters are from EU. The shipping prices are crushing my heart. Ugh..

Hey guys! I'm reposting this from the shoe thread, I hope you don't mind. I just figured a lot more people who know about mail are here and will probably be able to help me. Do you guys know if my package will arrive to me soon? I need them for an important meet (we're going to see an orchestra!)

I got EMS shipping.. the shoes were shipped on Monday. The tracking number doesn't work on the Chinese website anymore, although it worked yesterday- now it just says "No tracking information for the shipment, or overdue tracking." This is where it currently is/was when last updated on the USPS website:
March 19, 2015 , 10:33 pm
Processed Through Sort Facility
HANGZHOU EMS, CHINA

>>8208317
Where'd you find those sandals?

>>8204231
All of my friends thinks I'm weird for liking cup noodle shoes. Have you heard of poyopoyo? Equally as good, less sarcasm and more soul warming.
Shame no one knows it.

>>8208317
source on necklace please

After a two-month long search and rescue mission, this damn JSK is now in my arms and dear God, it was well worth the wait.

My listenflavor stuff arrived! Really happy with them! Still waiting on my glowing star plush...it still isn't here yet...

>I live in NY
>when will my package come back from the war.

I'm just stressed because it's my dream dress. I've never had something from overseas go to New Hampshire from customs.

>>8209252
That's happened to me before, it was bounced all over the USA before it made it to me. If it doesn't move by the 29th or 30th, I would call the post office and ask if something is wrong. Sometimes they send it to the wrong facility and forget to scan it when it leaves. Good luck!

>>8207458
sauce on the cardigans on the second last taobao row?

>>8208317
sauce on the scarf?

Joined in on a friend's bodyline order to get a couple small things.

I ordered a package from bodyline, and tracking says it's out for delivery right now in new jersey. I live in Connecticut.
How likely is it for bodyline to give wrong tracking numbers?

Ordered some clothes from Yumetenbo (Rakuten) and I got a coupon code for free shipping that is available for Yumetenbo until 31th this month.

I doubt I'll use it so I will share it here.

Just recieved this tiny order. If anyone wants a review I would be glad to post one!

Just put in my first Miss A order in months. Bought a bit more than I thought I would though.

Casual stuff plus some otome items. I'm hoping these "broken in" docs don't take as long as my others to be able to wear comfortably.

arrived:
>oppai mousepad
sena a shit, but i liked the design. all the girls i actually like are dfc, and i find the ass mousepads a little too lewd.
>thick faux thigh highs
way thicker and nicer than expected for $9 shipped

two bra/panty sets that i know don't fit
two skirts
cropped sweater
etude house lip exfoliator

Ordered the dress on the right for Easter. Here's to hoping it'll arrive on time.

Also, does anyone else go candle crazy when spring's coming? I raided my Yankee store a few weeks ago when they had that big sale, too. I'm obsessed.

Oops, dropped pic.

Christ. I didn't think it was this bad.

>>8211797
I'm in a similar boat. I've spent $1500 on aliexpress in the past 2 months...

>>8211814
Thankfully I haven't spent that much but I'm scared to see how much I actually did spend. This is what happens when I've got nothing else to do all day.

>>8211797
Where do you store all that stuff? I have storage problems and I don't even buy that much.

>>8211875
>tfw I buy storage boxes from aliexpress to store items I buy on aliexpress
please help me.

I'm not gonna put everything bc I'm lazy, but here's some of my favorites that are coming. The most I spent on any one thing here was 25 dollars. (honorable mention: mystery BTSSB floral skirt that had no picture, but was only 8 dollars so fuck it.)

>>8211875
A lot of it is jewelry or clothes or wigs. The wigs I resell at a mark up to make a small profit to basically fuel buying more stuff so yeah.. I don't know how I still have room.

I'm buying a jewelry/accessory hanging organizer so that helps some. The rest goes in my closet (if clothes/costumes) and I have a hanging organizer for my shoes and the heels that don't fit go in a box under the bed.

Also helps that I have a mirror wardrobe and a dresser in my room.

>>8209507
they were from 2 shops:
http://smilefashion.taobao.com/
http://tuhui.tmall.com/

>>8210272
How're the gingham dresses and where were they from?

>>8211814
woah if you buy that much from aliexpress it's probably better value if you buy it from taobao and ship it together rather than pay shipping for individual items...

>>8212085
It's not actually. Also you don't really pay shipping from aliexpress anyways. Plus, I buy a lot of things that you can really only buy on taobao in bulk.

>>8211885
Ita as shit.

>>8211350
I live in an apartment complex and management won't hold our packages for us. It's easier to have it shipped to her house.

>>8212078
I got them from Yesstyle because I had a coupon and gold membership. Here is the link: http://www.yesstyle.com/en/tokyo-fashion-off-shoulder-ruffle-a-line-gingham-dress-blue-l/m/info.html/pid.1036075132
But you can probably find them on the official Tokyo fashion website.
The material is a nice thin cotton that is a little see through, but there is a built in slip. I love how light and delicate the colors are. The 'straps' can be on the shoulders like a jsk or offshoulder. Both ways look good. I got size M and I am 5'2 105 lbs. 36-26-36.
Overall I recommend the dresses! They are very cute and well made. The Yesstyle price is too high without discounts or coupons though.

>>8211350
What about EMS? I did a group order with EMS shipping a few days ago.

The card holders look kind of weird, but the bee charm makes up for it, aha.

I needed some cute things for spring/summer so I put in a little Miss Point order. So excited.

How much do you guys usually spend on one taobao order? I'm about to make my first one and I can feel the wallet pain already.

>>8202935
That black/gold dress is beautiful. The rest and everyone else has bought such lovely, colorful stuff for spring.

Lolita is not my thing... I'd end up looking like I'm in mourning no doubt if I tried. A mourning ita. Oh well... here's what I'm waiting on right now.

Anyone own it ?

>>8213550
For me, it depends on whether I'm ordering solo or if I organized a group, generally speaking:
>Solo: $100-150
>Group:$200-350

I tend to order cosplay wigs and some materials and maybe a few lolita things here or there. But if I were to do a taobao order solely for lolita, I'm sure the order amounts would be up. Just depends on what you're ordering and how much/

I'm waiting on some new pieces for my wardrobe. The blue JSK is my first JM dress, so I'm hoping it fits alright.

>>8208317
can you review the wing sandals once they arrive? I have a mighty need

Waiting on Angel of Music jsk and bonnet and headbow.
I'm wondering if I should ask them if they remembered to include my headstuff after rechecking the total of my invoices.

Waiting on these, it feels like it's been forever!

Not sure where else to ask this, but has anyone in the UK successfully disputed customs charges before?
I bought some stuff worth £21 and I got a £19 customs charge which is pretty nasty.

>>8215973
Never.
Is that including the ridiculous handling fee or whatever parcelforce likes to slap on there for 'having' to retain your package?

>>8215976
I'm assuming so. I'm still peeved off, the package is only 2 small Nintendo games.

>>8215973

Unfortunately they also charge tax on the amount you've spent on shipping which might explain why they want 19 pounds but still, it's rediculous.
How much percent tax do you pay in the UK? In NL they charge the shit out of us too.

>>8215986
I feel for you anon, was your package marked as a gift? Parcelforce is notoriously unreasonable and customs is ridiculous.

>>8216012
Whatever the fuck percent they feel like, as far as I can work out

>>8216012
OP here, I'm going with what >>8216019 said.
>>8216016 I don't think so, I was using Tenso. Lesson learnt, I'm not using them again.
I just checked and it was £6 tax, the rest was handling fees. For a small amazon.jp box.
>pic related, my face rn

>>8216109
Ugh those bullshit handling fees. I just paid for a package from yoybuy, it was £11 customs and £13.50 handling fee. I hear it is possible to import items and pay for customs yourself without going through parcelforce so I might try that next time.

>>8216109
Don't you get a bill? I doubt they just asked you to pay without explanation or official paper.
According to the internet it should be standard 20% + 3.5% for the product type video games. Applied to shipping too. Some special cases such as bicycles from China have rates as far up as 50% or more for political reasons.

>>8216168
Nevermin I read your post again.

>>8216109

can you post photos of your dog in the clothes when they come in the mail?

>>8216317
Sure. I've taken some of her in her Taobao clothes. I just got her a new one that's been washed (I wash all her clothes before she wears them because I don't know what chemicals are on them) and I can take a picture of that one.

>>8216325
please do! i love seeing dogs in clothes. i need to order some clothes for my dog from taobao, but im always iffy on what i should and shouldent order.

>>8216326
I'd share my Taobao shop where I ordered from but Bhiner's servers got wiped and I lost all the info from that order. Now I just stick to Ebay.

Pic related is
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Summer-Clothes-For-Dog-Pet-Dog-Clothing-Puppy-Grid-Cotton-Dog-Vest-T-Shirt-/281623385158

Pictures are terrible because I can't get her to sit still long enough to take one. The only thing I don't like about it is there's elastic around the neck. I'll probably see if I can cut it out.

>>8216353
aww, shes so cute. the shirt looks good, other then maybe a bit small. thanks kinda anon! might order that one.
also dat engrish
>take a picture of dog

>>8216387
Yeah, it's a tad bit small because everything is elastic. The neck, the shoulders, and even the back. It's the oddest thing since I'm used to putting her in little tshirts. I'll probably just take all the elastic out and see if that helps but so far she doesn't seem to mind it since I stretched the neck out for her.

>>8216245

How do you bypass parcelforce anon? Share this vital knowledge.

>>8216387
>thanks kinda anon!
*thanks KIND anon is what i meant

>>8216165
I'm getting pissed off at taobaotrends shipping my stuff by EMS at no extra cost. It's nice that it comes faster, but usually I don't get hit with customs when it's airmail.

>>8216213
EMS, since I wanted my games fast. It's been longer than using airmail thanks to customs holding them for so long though.

Went a little hard on my first order but nothing I can't afford. Waiting on getting actual clothes for the moment until I sort through my current wardrobe. Most excited about the 70 something yards of lace ( I didn't include them all, just some of my faves)

Why doesn't spreenow offer airmail? The EMS prices + customs are making ordering from taobao to save money, counter productive

>>8217650
Probably because EMS is fast, insureable, and trackable, thus providing them protection against claims

What is with USPS refusing to scan stuff unless it's been lost in the mail system for 10+ days?

>>8216461
Here, under 'Declaring the goods yourself': https://www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk/content/how-declare-goods-when-importing-post
Not sure if that will work though!

>>8217641
Just gotta say I appreciate that you've put in the sources as well! Also that musical note lace is well cute hnnnng.

Is US customs taking longer than usual to get EMS through the system? My package managed to hit customs within a day of being mailed from Japan but it's been stuck there for the last three days. Used to be done in about a day or so and it's not like right now is supposed to be a heavy shipping time.

>>8210988
No idea. I actually had to search several different times because my SS kept telling me it had sold out. They were super cool about me putting in and combining orders, though.
Anyhow, found another listing:

>>8215341
I feel that, anon, and I will.
I'll probably post a review in the Taobao thread.
The shoes and the milk dress are the last things I'm waiting on to arrive with my SS.
Suffering.

>when it comes to clothes, I'm an impatient fuck
>it's actually been like 1 week since I ordered

Waiting on a cyperous wig. How long is this thing going to remain at New York's sorting facility?

>tfw you have been waiting for a commission since November and it finally arrives. It's wrapped in two sheet of tissue paper, chains on item are tangled, try to untangle them. Notice item is broken.

I've literally waited for this for so long and I have a broken headpiece. I feel my patience wasn't justified and if it was damaged by taking it out of the box (since I don't believe it could have been sent broken), I don't know how it would have survived being put on my head. Should I bring this up to the seller or just give up here?

>>8218259
I'd bring it up to the seller. You paid for it, you should get your moneys worth. Definitely bring up the thin packaging. They should have used bubble wrap.

Expecting it this week. It's my first dress and I'm reaaally excited

>>8216306
Today's mail haul. I keep waiting for the mail carrier to ask why I get packages on a daily basis. She must think I'm either a hoarder or I have a home business.

>>8218299
Don't get put off lolita if it doesn't look right on you. The waist is very high.

I have this stuff coming in, a pair of base sandals for my Pit cosplay, and a plastic baseball bat for me to mod into a Ness one.

>>8207458
Some stuff arrived! I split my taobao forwarding orders into a few batches.

>>8207458
I should've ordered a size up... I usually get 255 for bodyline shoes but it was really difficult to squeeze my feet into this pair. It feels comfortable enough though and are pretty sturdy.

My package has been sitting in the sort facility for the last 4 days... is there something going on with USPS?

>>8219498
>Day 6 of my EMS package also sitting in LA sorting center

Maybe that means customs hasn't seized it.

Anyone who is waiting on a package, I'm sorry to say but USPS is fucking up left and right lately.
I'm >>8215012 and the box they're "sending back" is bouncing around useless sorting facilities for days now. It seems like their customs offices are flooded and things either aren't getting scanned, or are being sent to the wrong sorting facilities. I can only assume because it's con season everyone is being flooded with packages from all over the world and they're not competent enough to deal with it.
Keep an eye on your packages and if anything seems wrong at all, either go to your local post office and have them inquire about the package for you, or possibly call the facility that it's currently in and inquire yourself before they send it somewhere it's not supposed to be.

>>8219546
Seconding this. USPS just recently bragged on their site like "We'll scan your stuff even more than before so you always know where it is!" and yet I've got stuff going from China to the next town over from me with no updates in between. I don't even know why I check my tracking info on Ebay these days because nothing moves. I've already had a seller contact me wondering if I've got an item from them that the max deadline is April 5th and I'm like "Nope. Tracking says it hasn't even left China yet." which means for all I know it could be delivered tomorrow.

>>8219558
>order package from china, epacket last thursday
>no updates
>package arrives today

>>8219558
>>8219562
It's a fucking conspiracy. Shit that I send/get that's within the USA gets updated every step of the way but it's foreign mail that USPS seems to have trouble with.

>>8219573
http://www.fox4news.com/story/28667189/almost-3k-pieces-undelivered-mail-found-at-dfw-airport

There are multiple threads on etsy and ebay about general shipment delays throughout the US through USPS as well. Looks like it's just a waiting game at this point.

Thanking my lucky stars that all my stuff comes through New York.

>>8218655
Yeah, I was deciding between 2 dresses and ultimately settled on that because I like the high waist

I got to the Tokyo Alice cheap MM glut late, but I still managed to snag some nice things!

And some yahoo auctions stuff too.

>>8221155
Ahh, so you're the one that got that IW dress. Had my eye on it but decided to get something else instead. Love the MM tweed dress too, nice taste!

>>8222483
I love the OP cut of that print but the creepy stuff isn't my thing. IW, why would you do that to me.

That print would be great for some tasteful guro though.

I really was not supposed to be ordering any lolita related items this past month... help.

>>8218694
sauce on the taupe and black skirt in the upper right and the bag? please and thank you

>>8222997
Sure thing, here is to hoping that it is worth the money.

>>8222997
>>8223001

I have it. The quality is pretty nice but the elastic on the sleeves is tight as shit and the neckline is hard to wear with any jsk. Good for skirts though. The chiffon feels nice and isn't too see-through.

>>8206232
The spoon would look cute on display, or turned into a hair accessory, don't worry about it too much

>>8208191
Sorry for the really shitty quality!
It still needs ironed and stuff but I really like it! The top is a little sheer material wise but the skirt has these cute pockets!

>>8222509
If you got anything to say about those skincare products after you used them, I hope you drop a note in the skincare thread! I'm most interested in the snail ampoule.

>>8222963

Thought I was done, went and bought more shit. I kinda regret bottom right, it will be a huge pain trying to sell this set on.

Link to the dark red fur collar cardi and moon cat shawl?

Finally confirmed my Taobao order after months of building a cart. This is just my part since I'm doing a big group order.

I told myself no more stuff but then I saw these second hand Meta shoes on Usagiyouhinten for 2200 yen and kind of needed them. They need a little TLC but for 22 bucks, I can't complain.

>>8222701
In the ahcahcum mook there're 2 bags, one hand bag with a dolls' face on one side and a cat's on the other, and a little purse shaped like a cat! Got it more for the dollface though.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the axes femme cat cardigan? I keep seeing it on yahoo auctions japan for 7,000 yen. I am not playing that much for an axes femme cardigan. However, I would mind buying it if it was cheaper.

The surface spell dress is taking forever to be shipped to my SS. I ordered everything on the 03 of March hoping I would get everything by a big meet in mid April. That's not going to happen, but at least I can look cute in late spring (hopefully.)

Dark red cardi is axes femme and I got it on y!A. There's always some around.
Cat shawl is from Heather and Iris (http://shop113600104.taobao.com/)), but I can't find the listing anymore.

Finally crossing another dress off my wishlist. Which is great because this is only the second time I've seen Nostalgic Doll secondhand.

>>8224326
Dropped my image.

Turns out buying is cheaper than making. Half of it is going through customs right now; I'm pretty excited.

Is there a good yj! auction service that doesn't ask for money up front?

Also are there any downsides to sniper bidding?

>>8224950
Honestly, no, I use sniper bidding all the time via Buyee (yes I use Buyee because I like the ease of doing it myself but hate the fees) and have had no issues with it. It's REALLY helpful to have if an auction is going to end sometime early morning/late at night. If someone out bids your maximum bid, you could get in the game and rebid.

>>8216109
Tenso is how you avoid customs not incur them. When all your items have arrived and you have consolidated them there is the option to amend the package values and contents.
I mark everything as a gift and divide up the individual items until it totals 2500yen. Voila no customs and no clearing fee! I use EMS so it's less likely to get lost and I won't lose my money as I wouldn't be able to claim through insurance for the lost items.

>>8218211
You can do it, I've looked into doing it myself but it's honestly not worth it. It can delay your items for weeks and it's a lot of hassle. I'd rather do what I posted above or pay the fees to get my items in a few days rather than faff about for weeks

>>8224924
chibitenshi asks for money after she's brought all your stuff but if you have no or little feedback she might not

>>8224963
This. I love using buyee because I can jump on auctions and react very quickly. The fees are worth the convenience for me, and they're tolerable.

Have been waiting two months for these

>>8225201
I have the one on the right and it doesn't really fit my style, guess I should sell it?

>>8225510
wouldn't it make more sense to wait until it's no longer available to buy straight from the brand anymore? Otherwise, people have no reason to not just buy it from there (unless you're dropping the price a ton)

A bunch of my items arrived since the last thread (the navy taobao shoes turned out to be the most glorious things i've ever put on my feet), but that didn't stop me from adding quite a bit more
Also waiting on some cheap ebay jewelry auctions to end, and contemplating a few pastel chiffon skirts

>>8224950
For y!a just be aware that a lot of the auctions will extend out the auction for 5 minutes if you snipe under the 5 minute mark. I've had better luck doing 5m01s bids so that any other active snipers don't get tipped off as easily. It gets bloody irritating when some jackass comes in and bids at the 4m30s mark which results in the damn auction extending almost 10 minutes.

>>8225566
I don't see any navy shoes on your pic, but I'd still like a source cuz I could use more navy shoes.

Anon in previous thread asked for review on the lunatic lemony lollipop wing headband. Sorry for the crappy photos, it was kinda hard to get.

The color is not white at all, it's more like shimmery silver color. The wings look a bit wrinkly fresh out the package, but they stick out your head a little, which is super cute. It's not amazing, but ok for 1500 yen.

Hopefully I'll be seeing some of this in the next few weeks...

i think i'm getting more into the mindset of buying stuff i really like and will actually wear, rather than cheap but dunno-if-i'd-wear-that-out pieces. i hope it'll be more fulfilling and cheaper in the long run (less purchases and shipping costs)
>wishful thinking maybe

sage for OT

Hey /cgl/,

I sell things on my etsy, and recently a customer has contacted me saying that she has not received her item within the supposed timeframe.
Upon chatting with her more, I learned that this is not the first time this happened to her: apparently she got her mail lost a couple of time.
I told her to wait for some days more and if not I'll have to replace the item.
I used light packet from Canada (she lives in NC). This is the first time this has happened to me, and since she said she got her mail lost a couple of time, I'm pretty sure it's an issue on her side rather than a systemic error. I copy pasted the address she gave me and she said everything was fine...
Soon I'd have to (unwillingly) replace her the package. What should I do in this case?
I'm just bitter that etsy doesn't have a customer credibility score like ebay does... If they do have one, I would make sure to avoid customers like this.

Anon, if it's an item that you would have to replace, is it likely she's just being dishonest to get multiples of this item or something along those lines? Mail delays happen but for someone to repeatedly have postage issues seems very questionable

>>8228420

Your buyer sounds shady as fuck.
Did your package have tracking? Only send tracked and preferable signed for. This "lost in mail, never received a thing" is almost always a scam.
The fact that it happened to her before sounds shady as fuck.
Don't replace her package, just refund her but only if you didn't ship it tracked/signed for. Otherwise she might claim it got lost again and assuming she paid with paypal, file a claim.

This is the last message she sent me. She was pretty enthusiastic about getting the package.
The whole "they never got the package back, just lost" is what rang a bell on me, since I printed the label, and things get returned when they are in deliverable arnrt they?
I didn't send it with tracking, but I might have in the future. I was thinking of resending her with tracking signature and her paying additional postage.

And no its paid via her debit I think.

Anon, always use tracking. Always.

>>8228420
Most mail through Canada Post is protected up to $100. Did you save a copy of the label or take a picture?

>>8228697
Yes I do! I'll give them a call then.

>>8228698
You just need the code that's on there. They'll ask for a tracking code but they just mean the number.

>>8228707
There's no tracking tho.

>>8228751
Maybe light packet is different but all the packages I've sent still have a code that the mail system uses even if I don't get tracking.

>>8228420
ebay's "credibility" score for buyers is false security though because buyers can't get negs

>>8228476
This is hindsight of course, but never ship without tracking. Ever. Unless it's domestic, but even then only for small/cheap items.

I'm actually making a cosplay using these.

I'm excited for it because look how god-damn comfy they look. My last cosplay involved fitted suit trousers and they were really fucking warm and uncomfortable.

And now I get to wear these instead, the comfiest trousers ever made.

Orders dont include the shitton of jewelry, hats, and squishies i ordered. Just getting into Lolita so I hope Im starting out with something cohesive. The only things I'm really worried about are the shoes fitting and the wig going well with my skin tone.

I also have no idea what to get for tights/socks if anyone has recs? Might have to do a taobao order for that.

>>8230515
Use an SS next time instead of MLD or clobba. Even with the SS fees and shipping, it'll be cheaper.

>>8230573
I definitely will! Some of the dresses aren't are the taobao storefronts (or maybe I'm just terrible at finding stuff) so those orders are still processing.

Best part of my mail today. I've been wanting one of these coin purses for ages.

Hnnngg can't wait.

Picked this up not too long ago also.

Anon, go on with your broke ass self.

So mbok and bodyline order 1 came in the mail today, really pleased with everything (please excuse the crappy cellphone pic). The red bodyline shoes obviously need a bit of breaking in, but fit perfectly and are nice quality; for $8 shipped I couldn't be happier. Was also expecting the necklaces to feel super cheap, but they've actually got a lot of weight to them and seem nicely sturdy.

The liz lisa bag is a lot bigger than expected, yet again isn't the same shade as anything, but has actually done a really good job of bridging the gap between mm offwhite and btssb offwhite that the three don't look terrible together

>not pictured, bat tights. because i am currently wearing them and am not taking them off to take pics of

Had a good experience buying from MLD. Having a harrowing 3 month ordeal getting stuff made to order through SS...

>>8230803
Excentrique? so. Nice.

>>8231014
That depends on the brand you're buying from though, and your SS. I've had a good experience with MLD too, but the markup is not worth it for me.

mu-fish. Check the store spreadsheet in the taobao thread too.
