Jesus christ do I need that hideous, hideous, thing in my life.

>>8656756
It's beautiful, OP.

Taobao-Finds is back up and running if anyone needs inspiration for stuff to throw their money at.

>http://taobao-finds.tumblr.com/

Asked this question in the last thread without realising it was in auto-sage, whoops. Would anyone know if the "creams" used to make decora phone cases would make it past customs? And thanks to the anon that answered my question about the glow in the dark paint.

>>8656769
Yep, looks right! A lot less intimidating when boilded down to the basics, right? As for the warehouse limit, yeah that's also it. It goes item by item and stacks, which is what you need to watch for. For example, if one item goes over it gets charged around 18yuan a day. Then a second item goes over. Now you're charged 36 yuan a day. In this last order I had one item the seller shipped late (after pestering) that also got stuck for a while in local shipping, which brought two items over the limit. That was the only irritating part of the order. Consolidating and paying is as easy as the rest.

The only other thing I can think of is that you learn about the thing that you click to chat with sellers. This is if they're being slow or you have a question. I had to use this to get one item shipped, so it's useful.

>>8656787
>>8656789
I would say that wouldn't make it either, sadly. It might have a higher shot though, and I think you may be able to find an ss that may attempt to ship it? I don't think the forwarder would, they denied my bjd doll eye putty when I asked.

>>8656833
Ah darn, I use the fs. Thanks for your reply though!

So, I'm wanting a cute heavy coat for Winter-- I was looking at this Dear Celine one, but I'm assuming it's for preorder, yeah?

>http://world.taobao.com/item/522693804683.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-10170411923.9.WdGd5x

>>8656868
Yes, for the end of october and the second payment is 618yuan.

Say I made a 300 dollar clothing purchase, what am I looking to pay for additional shipping, custom and client cost from the USA? 300 just an example I've never bought because of this. Does anyone know ? Thanks

for gulls looking for R-Series, they're now here:
http://r-series-lolita-fashion-official-online-store.myshopify.com/

What taobao shops have some nice halloween/fall lines released? (As in, not for pre-order.)

>>8656877
The shipping costs depends on the weight of your stuff. What all did you buy? Only clothes? Did you buy any shoes?

You most likely won't be hit by customs. You might if you're shipping by DHL but you're probably using ems.

Are there any decent dresses coming up for reservation or closing soon?

I got money to throw!!!

>>8656911
I didn't buy anything just trying to know what I'm getting into before I got anything I just threw 300 as an example because I need some new clothes ;-;

>>8656922
We'd still need to know a weight estimate to help you out, sorry. If you use the forwarder the shipping is less expensive and you don't have an agent fee, but you have to learn and micromanage a bunch of things. Don't try it unless you're able to do that. My last order had three shirts, a lolita dress, two pairs of shoes, two wigs, bjd accessories, tights, and two headdresses. My shipping was 48 dollars.. Seems like a lot, but a similar weight package from the last time I used an agent cost 76 bucks, not even counting the 10% agent fee. If you're in the states, you will almost never get hit by customs. I've made around thirty taobao orders in the past three years, and I have not once been hit.

>>8656914
...What style do you like? Are you talking about lolita? It's hard to point you to anything you'd like with such a wide premise. I would recommend looking at truth2teatold's tumblr if you want new taobao releases and preorder info.

>>8656914
http://world.taobao.com/item/522808531367.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-10914156099.44.fIPxIQ
This is cute.
Assuming you meant lolita

Hope this isn't a silly question but anyone know what the cheapest proxy is if living in the EuroZone? A lot of proxy's I find are geared towards US customers so end up paying for two currency conversions plus all the fees of the proxy. Then of course some charge silly prices on their shipping.

So what do you find is best and cheapest if living in the Eurozone? Thanks!

So, how much of a terrible idea would it be to buy an english game code for Steam off of taobao? (If the seller has decent reviews?) Very/so-so/not very?

>>8657403
Pretty terrible. Sometimes you can't even use codes from other people because they bought them in a different region. It would have to be pretty cheap to test it out.
If you're not living in a country where games are stupidly priced then you should buy them as is. Just wait for a sale.

>>8656922
>>8657013

Yeah derp. Should have specified lolita.. Mostly classic or gothic or anything with a painting like print on it.. Actually even sweet prints if they come in darker colors..!

(Oooh that constellation dress though, I like the design just not a fan of the constellation prints really)

>>8657403
Most shopping services won't buy virtual items.

Alright, so, from the dream-dress thread, somebody linked me to 2.taobao. I'm assuming it's just a secondhand version of the website-- does it work exactly the same? Could I use the TB forwarding service with it?

More shops similar to Bobon 21?I want some larme/himekaji whatever clothing but i fear to buy japanese burando replicas around taobao.

>>8658037
Yes, it's just where secondhand listings of taobao items are put up. I don't know about the forwarding service, but spreenow definitely doesn't mind buying secondhand stuff. There's a chance that you might have to do some communication with sellers (like in the comments section) so if your Chinese is fluent then go for it, otherwise an SS might be better.

So I've read over the SS spreadsheet multiple times and I'm still scared. At least I know which ones to outright avoid now. What shopping service (or forwarding service) are most gulls using? I trust your opinion.

Even though I've used taobao for a while, I have no idea how to filter things down from a starting search.

For example, key word "princess" and then filter it down to women's clothing > sweaters, or something. Because, sometimes I'll try looking up like "cat" or "dog" in chinese for, y'know, a cat or dog themed accessory or clothing, and it just brings me to pet supplies and I'm not sure how to filter it to just clothing.

>>8658037
You can't buy from it with your own taobao account if you're not in China. I tried, contacted the seller and everything. I even got the okay that it could be shipped to me directly, and how much. However, you literally can not buy and pay for it as someone international yet. It isn't set up like normal toabao is, sadly. I had to scramble and find an ss to buy it for me instead in the end.

>>8658573
I haven't tried it recently, but I was able to buy second-hand from Taobao with my own account and US credit card. It took 24 hours for the transaction to go through after "fraud verification", though.

>>8657013
I need this in my life. Bless you, anon.

>>8656756
its so creepy

>>8658573
Which SS did you use?
Were they fast? How were the fees?

>>8658582
I tried but a popup message comes up seemingly blocking the item from being added to the cart.
I know the translator email but does anybody happen to know what this says?

Thank you in advance!

>>8658684
whoops dropped pic

>>8658582
That's weird, it never let me do it and I tried less than a month ago. I even contacted the taobao customer support and I was told I couldn't as an international buyer. It wouldn't let me add it to the cart because the pop up below stopped it, and then when I did what it said it still wouldn't let me add it to my cart or initiate it. Ugh. If you remember doing anything different that time, can you give us info on it? I'd love to shop there directly.

>>8658684
I used taobaospree. They were kinda slow because it was a weekend for them, but once it got started it went smoothly. Their fees are kind of high, but I use them for complicated orders because I trust them. I've been burnt by trying to save money on ss, so I just go with what I know if I have to use an agent.

As for that pop up, that's what happened to me. It says something like contact the seller to buy or something, but even when I went where it said and contacted the seller, I was still unable to do it. Leaving a confused seller and the need for an ss asap since I'd already told her I'd buy it.

>>8658686
"Please select/choose: Business transaction type"

(in pinyin: qing xuanze: jiaoyi fangshi)

>>8658695
Seconding anon dropping their secret on how they managed to do it!
My usual SS isn't responding probably due to the national holiday week (Oct 1~10). I'm really hoping they process the request in time.

>>8658762
Thank you so much for this! Chrome wouldn't translate the popup and also wouldn't allow text selection so I couldn't copy/paste it.
Because of your translation, I figured out that turning off Google Translate allows you to select the transaction type (1) and proceed to the first checkout page whereas with GT on, it is blocked by the popup above. However once at the first checkout page, proceeding is blocked again by an error message (2) that is mentioning setting a phone number. The link directs you to your account authentication page (3). But my phone number is already set so I'm not sure what it's asking for. I went through as filled in as much as I could but still no dice.
Hrmmmmmmmm successful anon come back~

I'm organizing a group order and now I'm just waiting for the other members to pick their items! I hope all goes smoothly! I'll probably end up buying striped thigh highs in like five different colours, I just think the're super cute even if they're a bit weeby.. Not sure about the wig for Yamatonokami, though. I'm not a huge fan of any of the options...

If anybody has stores with cute tights/thigh highs that aren't on the store list, I'd love to know!

is the forwarding service showing up as empty on taobao for anyone? I have several items being held and they would show up on the page before, but for some reason it says that there's no items anymore.

>>8659560
What the fuck, mine too. I'm going to ask my fs if they know what's up.

>>8656895
>//r-series-lolita-fashion-official-online-store.myshopify.com
What exactly happened to it? Haven't been on /cgl/ for a while, sorry.

>>8659560

>>8659632 anon here, I just got back from my fs (4px) and it doesn't seem like they know what happened but if you need to pay for shipping or know the weight of your items etc you could just message your fs with the order number and tracking number of the items. To pay, you can do it through the appropriate listing in their shop

Hopefully this issue gets resolved by taobao, it's quite annoying :/

>>8660014
ah that's good; I messaged my fs too but they didn't reply; the only issue now is that my order is pretty huge and from a bunch of different shops, which would probably be a pain to ask manually haha

>>8660023
You could just ask to see everything you've ordered so far I guess?

>>8659457
link for the bread dress and bunny tights?

>>8660501
Here you go!
Bread dress: http://world.taobao.com/item/45137679034.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-10893240833.2.46uQca

Made an order with TBR last night (kinda leery after recent bad TBR talk) and didn't expect anything since their working days are Monday - Friday but I woke up to a confirmation and an email from Monica letting me know that some of the items I wanted had defects and if I still wanted to order. First time dealing with her and she's super nice.

Really surprised they got to my order so fast though since it's coming off a holiday and they supposedly don't work on weekends.

Order is pic related. Saving the higher priced stuff for 11/11 to get some good deals.

I really like those bracettes but I think I got sent the wrong colour, I ordered the "Pale" colour, which I gathered to be pink, but when I got them they were more Ivory so either the colour is wack or I got sent the wrong colour.

>>8656789
I've gotten deco creams before, but that was when I used yoybuy, since they've gone down the shitter I can't find a shopping service who will even purchase it for me.
>>8656868
On the line of coats, does anyone know of a shop that sells lolita coats that does custom sizing? I'm tall with long arms and all the coats that I find have way too short sleeves

>>8660578

>>8660704
Perfect translation.

Also this is one of the items Monica said had defects.

God, my bank is a piece of garbage

>pay for two items off of taobao, everything going great
>try and pay for third, "BANK REFUSED TRANSACTION"
>fuck me, ok.
>check email, told to verify transactions
>verify them
>try and buy 10 min later
>still can't
>try again 30min later
>still can't
>can't call bank b/c it's 2am
>next day, call bank
>verify transactions over phone
>wait 30min
>still can't buy
>jesus fucking lord of christ
>call bank again, on hold for like 45min
>"seems like some other area has a hold on the account, let me connect to them"
>cue 30min wait again
>I JUST WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY

How do you get Taobao to send you SMS messages with tracking updates?

>>8660931
ugh, now people are going to think I'm this cringey since I just posted something about this recently
this is a pretty common occurrence; the bank blocks it because of fraud detection

>>8661289
Yup. Either call before you buy or switch to another bank or, ideally, a credit card. I have a bank account I use pretty much exclusively for taobao because it never gets blocked and if it did, they offer 24/7 servicing. The bank is shit otherwise but it's great for overseas.

>>8661289
I'm mainly ass blasted at the fact that I had to verify twice and that didn't do shit, even though the email said "Verify or restrictions will be placed on your account".

Not surprised that taobao would invoke a fraud detection, just pissed that it took twenty different methods to get a hold off of if when it should've taken one.

Looking for a pair of pirate-y black boots, does anyone have any recs? I checked the usual shops in the spreadsheet but didn't find anything I liked- pic just for reference.

>>8656756
Sauce for this, please

>http://world.taobao.com/item/520718997650.htm
J-Just like your anime girls.

>>8661770
I love that people are paying for these when you could easily just write it on your own skin yourself. They've sold over 100 pairs, just think about that for a minute.

>>8661770
>>8661787
I can't even read Japanese but I know hentai "slutty pig" graffiti when I see it.

God, are there any stores that sell it at size 5 and below..

>fml I hate my feet

>>8661821
>>8661770
>>8661830
Most of that stuff is replicas of the designer https://twitter.com/mekemon who is very popular for her sexual menhera goods which are against slutshaming/being proud of being a slut.

>>8661949
>>8661988
Thank you! I think I will go normalfag then, I just wasn't sure of the exact name in English for these.

Anyone else using TBR just get an email about TaobaoRing Support Center and getting a user account for it?

>A new TaobaoRing Support Center account has been created for you.

and after that

>We would like to acknowledge that we have received your request and a ticket has been created.
>A support representative will be reviewing your request and will send you a personal response.(usually within 24 hours).

I was baffled over what the second thing was but when I logged in all it was that they had gotten my order payment via paypal and were showing me their paypal record of it.

>>8662627
This happens when you sent them a message recently as their message system runs over their support center now.

>>8662651
Oh dang, didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.

I've found so many shoes almost like these, but never these exact ones.
I've checked clobba for secret shop stock and vm. Neither have these boots. Does anyone know if I can find these on taobao? I've checked antaina too.

Does anyone have the source of this coat? I've tried searching under the term bear coat and lolita coat but I couldn't find anything.http://himi.storenvy.com/collections/807213-outer-coat-hooded-jacket/products/14480958-2015-winter-bear-claw-love-chamois-cashmere-coat-women-coat-free-shipping I don't want to support himistore.

>>8662983
Seconding. I also have some storenvy/reseller stuff i'd like to source. Anyone recognize these? Or what they are replicas of? My best guess would be swankiss replicas

>>8662983
Huzzah, I can be of use! It's a Swankiss replica-- here's a listing of one on taobao.

I went to a meetup the other day and this girl had the cutest wristcuffs on, she said she got them from taobao but she couldn't remember where she got them. They were brown lace with little gold fork and spoon charms and she said that the shop she got them from had a bunch of different colours and charms available to put on them. Is it too much of a long shot to ask if anyone could point me in the direction of something like that?

I know this is a Taobao topic but there's no From Japan one and I just want to say.. holy shit it's the future.

I just got the email about them updating their website and wow. I think I'm going to like this.


And on Taobao related news, Yoybuy is still sending out "We're shameless and we need more customers" promotions offering super cheap deals on clothing and accessories.

Are there any Taobao shops that sell sneakers similar to pic related?
I went through most of the shops in the spreadsheet without any luck and I'm desperate for some cute pastel sneakers.

Alright, this is my first Taobao forwarding order, and most of my items have this as their tracking information. (As in, says "shipment been recieved", "has been signed for", etc. I'm assuming this means the warehouse has it, but I cannot consolidate them yet/says to wait for warehouse receipt. Will the receipt come later?

>>8664375
I did some years ago, their quality is nice but their lining for coats is odd, they used satin for the sleeves and fleece for the body in my case but was warm anyways.

Sauce on plaid dress?

>>8664491
did you try the image search on taobao?

>>8664609
Any chance you've got a pic of it?

Back to whatever method you paid with. So if you paid with your card it will go back to your card in a few days. One of mine took up to a week.

>Buruma
Suuuper comfy. T shirt is a true white. The blue trim on shirt matches the shorts, but is lighter than the briefs. Overall soft, clean, didn’t find any loose threads – I was expecting it to be a lot lower quality since it was less than $9 for all three pieces.
For reference: Size M, selected “Blue (briefs + tshirt + pants)”
My measurements are 33-29-37. Both bottoms were very snug on the thigh, I’d recommend a size up if you’re similarly sized

Wig
The color is a little redder than the stock photo – its about 50/50 dark brown to red fibers. But it can photograph dark brown in the right lighting. The clips for the twin tails are the EXACT color as the fibers, so they’re extra hidden during wear. Came with a wig cap. It’s snug on my tiny head which is a little unusual. And it came packaged incredibly well!

I have been here quite a long time now, I just don't spend all my time here. I asked because I found an old thread where people said it was a scam and other said it was legit.
Didn't know cgl got saltier in the taobao threads.

YOOO I NEED SAUCE ON THAT MONHUN SWEATER

What's the best agent to use for a small order? I only need to buy 4-5 things.

>>8667198
Nevermind just found that section in the spreadsheets.
A better question would be for Antaina, would it be best to choose 1 size bigger?

>>8666092
not even that anon but also a kids size 3, any help/links you can provide would be golden

>>8667089
Keep in mind that buying something glass means a higher chance of it breaking. Now other than that, it is usually safe to buy glass objects that touch food/your body because lead glass is expensive and heavy and it is very unlikely that that is what these manufacturers are using. As for SSs letting you buy them, I do not know

Also can someone tell me if it's worth it to make a taobao order if you plan to buy less than $100 worth if things? I'm aware shipping and possibly customs fees will drive it over.

everything I've ever wanted <3

I'm wanting to buy this head bow which apparently can come either with or without the cross chain. Which option should I choose to get the cross, because google translate isn't helping?: http://world.taobao.com/item/520423002571.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7728556.w4004-9568046563.3.KZmIbU

>>8658542
>>8668502
are you using world.taobao or the regular taobao? if it's world.taobao, you have to search something first, and then click on a category from the sidebar (see pic) to search within that category.

if you're on the regular taobao site, it's right under filter criteria, and then related categories. filtering is much easier on the regular site than it is on the other versions.

Is there any taobao shop that sells these socks, or ones similar to it? I'm trying to get the original BTSSB socks, but I don't know if I'll have any luck.

>>8669001
As far as I can tell you have to add the 2 yuan option to your cart as well in order to get the one with the pearls. So you pick a color, add it to your cart, then add the 2 yuan option to indicate you want the pearl version.

>>8668743
if you're just looking for a bat shaped bag, those motie bat cross bag replicas are everywhere

>>8656756
What is this?

I sent this shirt to a friend living in Japan a number of years ago. He used to dance the Carlton as a joke. He said he wore it a bunch even though his wife hated it at first.

Did.. did I help start a fashion trend in Japan?

>>8669100
Ah, I see. I guess I just tell my SS to add the 2 yuan option instead of trying to buy both? Seems like they might fuck it up though. Don't understand why I don't have the option to buy both the headbow and the cross at the same time.

X-post from dumb questions I want to buy a basic A-line and a basic Bell-shaped petticoat for cosplay purposes (I don't wear J-fashion btw), and I heard Classical Puppets on Taobao has good petticoats, but I didn't realize there were so many choices of petticoats within these two types... Which ones should I pick?

https://classicalpuppets.world.taobao.com/category-284550650.htm?spm=a312a.7728556.w4010-189500543.21.wX1014&search=y&catName=%A1%F4%B3%C4%C8%B9+Petticoats%A1%F4#bd

>>8669200
Depends on what cosplay you want to do?
For something like madoka youd want something bell-shaped
For something like touhos youd want an a-line.

Umi and Hanayo jackets just arrived.
Let me know if you want reviews and/or pictures.

>>8669542
Reviews and a link please! I've wanted the nozomi one forever

Taobao's already putting out the 11/11 promos.

>>8669557
I'm pretty sure I bought size M, but somehow they sent me size L. A little too big for me, but atleast it fits. I'm 164cm.

On the TMall site, it says that it's made from cotton, but this definitely is not cotton. It's made from the exact materials a swimsuit would be made out of.

The school emblem is sewn on pretty well, but it's missing one line on the left side for the µ symbol.

I honestly don't know what to say about this pocket. It's just like.. dangling there.

The places that have been sewn down is down the left hand side, and that single point on the right side where the blue and white meets.

As seen in the photo, I can slot my arm through it.

Stripes on the sleeves are sewn on instead of printed on, thankfully.

I wouldn't say the zipper is flimsy, but it doesn't exactly glide on smoothly.

On the in-game card, the zipper is supposed to be a flat circle with µ's engraved into it. But all this has is a normal, every-day zipper.

Last picture.

Picture of the inside of the jacket. Need not to explain. See for yourself.

Oh and the link is
>https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=520119468684

>>8669601
Do both pockets open? If not, and it's lined up with the place where the opening should be on the outside, it's probably that pocket? You would just have to rip it open.
Some clothing are like that

>>8669613
Overall I'd say that the jacket's quality is so-so. It's very stretchy. A bit disappointed with the quality so I might keep Umi one and sell Hanayo.

Please please please do not buy it for winter as it does shit-all against the cold.

I'd strongly suggest looking into the authentic Japanese ones if you have the money to spare.

>>8669621
Yes both pockets do open!

>>8665312
After seeing that bread dress, I'm thirsting for it badly.
I made a Taobao account so I could message the seller with the help of Google Translate, which I'm hoping does well enough.
So far, it seems you can still order it and they can even ship directly to the US (assuming that's where you're located).

As far as paying for it, I think an Alipay account was made when I made the Taobao account, am I correct in assuming this?

Hey guys, I've been trying to find this shirt that says "fuck this shirt unicorn" that was posted on a tb thread some months ago, whatever term I search for it never seem to show up, does anyone happen to have a link for that?

Is there a link to a good selection of the LL Halloween outfits? Anywhere? Live looked everywhere I cant find any.

All this stuff finally arrived today! If anyone wants I can post pictures or reviews or links.

>>8669769
Link and review of the lace purse please! Thanks in advance.

>>8669601
this is how pockets are normally attached to the inside of unlined jakcets/coats. you can't stitch them down all the way around or else it'd show on the front.

>>8669630
OH SNAP. thanks for finding out, anon. i use a SS, but i may have to make a small order soon to get that dress! let us know what the seller says, please!

>>8669769
pics/review of the green scissors jsk and the 2 green bows please!

>>8669181
No if you want the bow with the chain you need to add both the bow and the 2 yuan option. Your SS needs to buy both. Bow, chain.

>>8669778

http://world.taobao.com/item/38393760986.htm?fromSite=main

Overall this is really cute! The construction looks good and the lace flowers are sewn pretty securely. They are pretty delicate though, and the corners of the fabric where the end of the metal clasp is will stick out if you pull on it but otherwise it doesn't show. The chain is pretty sturdy and is detachable. It can fit a smartphone, wallet, keys, and maybe a little makeup.

>>8669769
Link and review for the shell jewellery at the bottom? Thanks!

>>8669785
That's basically it anon! Just give them your measurements and tell them what color you want. The seller told me you pay them the deposit and pay the rest after 15 days, when they're done making it. Or was there something else you wanted to know?

>>8669789
The jsk is alright, especially for the price. The print quality and construction are good, its fully lined and fits well. The material is kind of weird though, it has a bit of stretch and reminds me of a thick bedsheet my parents used to have, but this is softer. It's wrinkled from being stuffed in the box though I will probably like it more after I iron it.

The bowtie is adorable. The little silver button thing is hot glued on so I will have to be careful that it doesn't fall off.

The green hairclip is also cute but the jewel thing is hot glued and it's about to fall off. The gold lace is also a little floppy but a couple stitches will hold it down. It came in a plastic bubble thing so it wouldn't get squished.

>>8669789
>>8669877
I'm also not a fan of the back, the lacing ribbon is too different from the greens in the dress. I'll probably replace it with a cream or gold ribbon. The waist tie has a gold shimmer but it's not glitter, I kinda like it.

>>8669212
That's why I was thinking of buying one of each shape, but I'm still confused over why there seem to be multiple of each type on the site. Google Translate can only help me so much.

>>8669841

http://world.taobao.com/item/12612244709.htm?

These are gorgeous. I'm no pearl expert but I'm pretty sure these really are freshwater pearls, some of them have little warps and distortions under the surface. The glue they used looks clearer and sturdier than hot glue, but maybe they just used less, I'm not sure. The only problem with this set might be that the bracelet is very small. It measures 15cm or 20cm with the extension chain maxed.

>>8669769

I'd love a review of the clock bag, strawberry dress (waiting on the skirt for it myself) and boleros! Pictures would be lovely as well.

Has anybody ordered with Taobaospree recently?
I just got a reply from Cici that says "Before making an order list, I want to let you know that right now we do not support you pay directly to our paypal, you need to pay via our online shop.

http://spreelove.tictail.com/ this online shop (support paypal and credit cards)

You can buy any items to make up the payment amount you need. After you paid the order, please send me a screenshot and tell me your order number, then I can order the taobao items for you"
Why can't they just invoice me? I also don't know if she wants me to go with just the price of the items themselves or the items + shipping + 10% or what. I'm so confused.

>>8669769
Review for the Yolanda Berry dress, please!

Hey gulls, this might have been answered in one of these threads before but I'm not sure.

This is my first time purchasing from taobao, and I'm using taobaoring. I got this message from them on one of my items:

>Sorry, the seller needs us to confirm payment advance before they send the items, so we can not buy from this seller, as it takes great risk. The seller may play cheating and we can not get the money back.

Do other SS do this? I really want this item so should I take my business to another one? Also, the taobao seller is a popular one in lolita. It has a good rating so I don't see why this is an issue.

Ty for the help.

Has anybody else problems ordering from taobaoring? I made a quick ordered, clicked on proceed or whatever it's called and my order was gone. It's not in my order list and it's not in the quick order anymore, I don't know if it went through or not. It took me hours to search for all the items I want and put in my order, so I'm seriously pissed right now.

>>8670120
Works just fine for me, maybe some of the products you wanted caused a bug with its listing?

>>8670101
was it a preorder?

>>8670123
Maybe. The other items I wanted they could get tho.

>>8669769
Links for the boleros please?

Has anyone else had the problem of a package just stopping on the same street as the international warehouse for days without updating? I'm on a rush order for a halloween meet up (though that's probably a bust at this point), and one package out of six is all that's left to be in the warehouse. It's been stuck at【中国】【中山市】广东省中山市黄圃派件员:伍文玉 -order number- 正在为您派件 since the 11th, which I thought meant it was at the warehouse waiting the be weighed. But all the others got weighed and are ready in between that time, so I'm confused.

I messaged the forwarder and haven't heard back, so I messaged the seller, and he says he'll help call after a LOT of confusion (my google translate skills are apparently poor). I'm just annoyed because this same thing happened last time, and made me have to split an order up for one item that didn't update for a solid week... Until one hour after I consolidated the rest. Hm, The timing makes it seem like it's almost on purpose, but I'm trying not to be paranoid.

>>8670058
I've used them to get a dress from 2nd hand taobao about three weeks ago, and it's easier than it sounds. You still can pay with paypal, you just have to add stupid stuff in their shop to you cart to reach the total, and pay there. I got my stuff just fine, and even when they had to refund me part of the money for an item the seller decided not to sell anymore it went really smoothly. Before I started to buy directly, I used them for years, so I still have trust for them (though I do admit they've been slower this year).

>>8669769
Beautiful haul, anon!

>>8669585
I wish it weren't during the hell holiday shipping period. I'm wondering if I should stay away from temptation, or check out the deals.

>>8670235
I just made an order and even I'm looking into buying at least a few things for Christmas during 11/11.

>>8669967
You're welcome! The seller has added the deposit option back to the listing so you should be able to just add it to your cart.

I'm placing an order right now and paying for the deposit. When I check out it charges me 12 yuan for shipping but the seller says that when I pay the remaining balance, I'll have to pay the 200 yuan charge to ship to the US (which is what we had agreed on). Is that initial shipping charge right?

>>8670235
Thanks for the info anon! My item total works out to be 30 cents off from a nice round multiple of 10 so I shouldn't have any problems getting my cart to equal the right amount. Just waiting to hear back from Cici about whether or not I need to factor in the 10%/domestic shipping yet.

>>8670329
one more question for you anon! did the seller say that the different colors are different cuts? if you look at the listing, the green jsk has a different neckline than the red jsk.

also which of the options is the deposit+final payment?

>>8670490
It says in the description that they're custom models so if you want the green jsk in the red's cut or vice versa, just shoot them a message. I asked for that and they didn't say they couldn't do it or anything so it should be fine.
Pic related is what Google Translate gave me. I don't think you can pay the deposit and the final payment at the same time.

Can anyone point me in the direction of shops that sell cute, otome-able cardigans, preferably in fall colors? I have one shop saved but all of the ones they have are pretty pastel and the ones I find by searching are too normalfag-y.

>>8670235
I messaged them about it; it's cause they moved warehouses on the 9th or something, and so it's taking a while. Pretty pissed too; I have one piece of every cosplay I'm doing for AUSA in that order and I don't think it'll make it in time

>>8669769
Dammit Yolanda still haven't shipped my Berry River jsk, please do a review!

This is embarrassing to post, but this was posted on this weeks btb secrets, and it looks to me like it's from a taobao brand. If anyone could give a link to it, it'd be appreciated. I'm sincerely sorry if it's not from taobao, but something about the background makes me think it is.

You consolidate your orders on the "Official Cargo"/官方集运 page, correct? And, a button will just show up to merge orders under "Order Operation"/订单操作?

I'm being hella impatient because I just placed the order 6 days ago, but I just want to be 100% sure everything is going as intended.

The page for the dress is gone but this is the shop. The print is vibrant and beautiful but that's the only great thing about this dress. The bodice is weirdly cut and it sticks out kinda awkwardly at the armpits. And the fabric is really easy to ruin. If you rub or scratch the fabric it makes a white spot like where I circled and it's impossible to fix. The back of the dress is really loose, baggy shirring and I have to cover or fix it.

http://world.tmall.com/item/45736813823.htm?

I think the color I got is sold out....it's a good umbrella though, the handle is long enough to hold like a parasol instead of being really short and awkward like most collapsible umbrellas.

Has anyone bought from 7cos? I'm looking at getting a Sailor Moon wig but i dont know how reputable they are

>>8671500

I got a long grey wig from them back in August, I believe you can find my review in the archives. The wig was really average quality (a bit shiny, mediocre thickness, takes a bit more effort than usual to detangle) but you get what you pay for.

The clock bag looks fantastic. I was worried it would look cheap in person but it's really nice. It uses a AA battery for the clock and it works! The hands jiggle out of place while moving the bag though, which sucks. Also the clock part inside the bag doesn't have a cover, so the things inside the bag could easily jostle the dial that manually moves the hands which really really sucks. This bag is so cool though that I'll just have to figure something out to make it work. There is a thin zipper pocket on the inside and one on the outside that could fit a couple small things. I opened the bag as wide as it could go to take the picture of the inside.

>>8670044
>>8670087
>>8670694
It's beautiful. I don't really have anything bad to say about this dress. It doesn't feel as luxurious as many lolita items but it has a soft, light charm. The subtle details are really cute but not over the top. The bodice has faint stripes and the lace is simple but not cheap. I can't find anything wrong with the construction, it all looks fantastic.

>>8670044
>>8670141

http://world.taobao.com/item/5278180256.htm?

I'm not impressed with this one. It's very thin and awkward looking. The sleeves are a little tight for something size L. I'm hoping the ruffles will look better if I iron them but I doubt it.

http://world.taobao.com/item/9961209539.htm

I hope they release this again so I can get the short sleeved version next time! The fit is great and the details are beautiful. It looks pretty white in my picture but it's more of a cream off-white.

>>8670058
I made this order >>8669769 using taobaospree and I was a little worried because I had only seen a couple anons saying they used them but they still seem as reliable as ever.

Any recommendations for decora? Clothes and accessories both. I'm finding plenty of pastel stuff for fairy kei and the like, but the bold, garish colors of decora are difficult to find.

>>8671597
Thank you so much! I've been considering getting this bag for a while but the price kept putting me off and I couldn't find many reviews for it.

>>8671800
It just isn't popular at all in China, you can find some stuff with searching "Zipper" but that's it.

i'm thinking of buying pic related with my next taobao order, but on the listing it just says "other sizes" when there's supposed to be medium and large as the description states. it's available on my-lolita-dress but i really don't want to pay a 45 dollar markup. should i just buy it on mld or buy it through my ss and hope for the best? this question is probably really weirdly worded, sorry

Is there an SS that does preorders? I was going to use TBR for an order but the seller apparently requires payment before it's shipped.

Ok, I'll give them a shot, thanks!

So I live in the US, and I've asked spreenow which shipping is for shipping to the US.
They didn't answer me so I was just wondering what shipping anyone has used successfully.

Do any of you know of any other store that sells these love live outfits? What are they even called?
I found one but the only set they seem to have available is the kotori and hanayo one.
I'm mostly looking for the Nozomi and Rin set.

Same here, anon. I've been trying to find these shoes for months.

I'm about to make my first order soon and also want to buy tights, knee-high socks and maybe some pants/shorts but my problem is, that I'm not as skinny as those asian models. Is it still safe to buy some or not? In the descrption of the pants are size measurments but the tights/knee-high socks often don't have any measurements and it doesn't say how stretchy these are! So I'm a bit scared that these won't fit me. ;;

I only want to do a small order but it seems silly to switch SS when I have that credit.

>>8674198
They've gotten worse, anon. $8 won't get you much anyway unless you order just one item.

How I do it is to check my logistics and click on the 'Has warehousing (20 days free)' link. That brings me to my cargo page, and from there you hit the orange merge buttons on everything you want to add to the order. Then you hover over the merged drop down thing in the upper left and check that you have everything you want to combine. Then you just hit combine and pay, put in your card info, and boom. It's really easy?

about to gift this shit to my family

Has anyone bought a used Nameless Poem (or any other lolita item) from ershou? I've been thinking about doing it (don't want to pay the $200 price they seem to go for on the western market), and there seem to be a lot for sale, but a lot of them have like no information on the listing, no sizes or anything, and lots of them have placeholder prices, like 1.00 or 1000000 or something. Should I just ignore those or should I get my SS to contact them all (?)

>>8675053
I bought two dresses from there. One came in just fine, but the other's seller backed out a week after with an obvious fake excuse to cover her seller's remorse. Just pick the best listing you can and use a good agent (I used taobaospree).

Is anyone having a problem with Spreenow?
I'm trying to go to the original links of things in my cart, but it's just saying they can't find the store.

I haven't been able to look at any of the original listings of things I plan on buying.

I finally heard back after days on asking where one of my packages is stuck without updating at the warehouse, but I can't understand what this means? Google translate is really awful.

"亲您的-ordernumber-订单已经做好入库信息了、" Someone please help? I just want to get my stuff here in time for my first meet up.

>>8675178
Sorry anon, but I'm not getting much from this. Any other Chinese anons around who can help?

"Your order (order number) was already made according to the warehouse information." Is what I can read, or something along those lines.

Do you have a full message, or is that all they sent to you? It seems like your order is made, but they didn't say why it's at the warehouse.

If you would like, you can try sending them this:

"请问, 我的包裹(-ordernumber-订单号)为什么从库沒有寄?"

(This says, "May I ask why my package has not been sent from the warehouse?" Please put your order number instead of -ordernumber-.)

Hope this helps in any way. Good luck.

>>8675198
That's all they sent, which is very confusing (and irritating since I asked them days ago, so they've had time to write more than one sentence). Thank you for trying anon, and thanks for the message to send back! It may be because of the week long holiday they had at the start of the month, but the forwarder is being very slow and slapdash compared to my previous order. I gave myself what I thought was plenty of time to get things in before my meet up, but it's all taking 4x as long. For example, I consolidated and paid for the rest of my items (aside from the stuck one I asked about) to be shipped out three or four days ago in the hope at least that part may make it, but they haven't posted it yet. I wish Americans had another forwarder we could use.

>>8675198
>>8675230
Two minutes ago the tracking updated to say the stuck package has warehousing now. So apparently they must have found it wherever they've had it sitting around the office for 10 days. Too bad I now have to pay the steep shipping for it alone, even though they still haven't even sent out the rest of the items.

Oh well, now here's to hoping they send my stuff out soon. I hope everyone else's orders go more smoothly than mine: the holiday season rush will be upon us soon.

>>8675178
>>8675198
they look through your packages first to make sure everything is sent and the seller didn't forget anything (only the quantity of items, though). since they had the week long break, a lot of the items are backed up and they haven't had time to check

>>8673522
No one who could help or has some experience with buying tights/long socks and the fit?

Does anyone have the link to this dress ?

>>8675576
Try searching the picture on Taobao?

>>8675299
I'm your size but I'm also 5'9" so that might make a difference. Ordering from just any store will be a pretty big risk, you're not going to fit into most tights/socks. Not comfortably, anyway. Look around for shops that people specifically recommend for larger sizes and you should be fine.
Mufish' original stuff (ONLY their original stuff) is supposedly pretty stretchy (and rly cute unf)
I've bought these thigh highs in five colours now and they're amazing, 10/10

>>8675053
Some of the high priced placeholder listings are just WTBs. If you see something like "seek" or "beg" in the title, that's usually a good indicator.

>>8675619
Thank you anon! This helps me a lot and the Mufish stuff is adorable!

can someone please find me a decent, relatively cheap (under 100 USD) sweet salopette or jsk on taobao

>>8676191
There are literally thousands, just search for a sweet salopette using the dictionary.

>>8672646
I found these

They look different but could a anon help me out and please tell me I'm wrong.

Im having the biggest brain fart.

I'd really appreciate it if I could get some help on keywords for cable knit pullovers, preferably in pastel colors. So far I'm only getting plain knitted sweaters or cardigans.

Anyone have any links/terms for cute sailor-style hats kinda like pic related?

>>8676614
cable knit is in the dictionary, then just add "ice cream color"

>>8676824
Here's one I've had my eye on for a while
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=520792559381

Can someone help me find the seller of this or anything related? I want a blouse with a cute bat shaped collar so bad.

Link to the shop for these again? I thought someone posted them a few threads back but I can't find it. I can't recognize/read the name on the photo.

>>8676945
thank you so much anon!!! I had no idea how I missed that.

>>8676991
Oh wow, I'd like to know myself too. Reverse image search only shows someone who sold them on LM.

>>8676991
Me either. Tried image search/keyword bs but I was only able to find this

I'm the anon from last thread that got that. I would be doing reviews right now that were requested last week, if my mail wasn't being delayed.

Placed my first order but there was a glitch where they charged me twice for shipping...

Are there products on Taobao that you can only buy with some kind of vip membership? I'm confused.

Can someone help me? What happened to my package, I'm pretty sure I already payed for shipping already?
I'm just panicking and really confused right now

>>8677532
VIP is just for a discounted price.

>>8677543
it miraculously fixed itself sorry if I killed this thread

>>8678493
Congrats on getting it fixed, anon. I wanted to help. but didn't know how. I'd have panicked too.
>>8677434
That cat purse it adorable! I'm sorry they double charged you for shipping! Did you manage to get it figured out?
>>8675273
Most of the other items came in afterwards and got processed while the item was still stuck. I'd be less annoyed if the same thing hadn't happened in the last order I made, where one item conveniently got stuck on the warehouse's road for days and days and then was put into the warehouse only hours after I consolidated the rest. I dunno, it probably was a coincidence. I hope it was, at least, because I prefer direct ordering in every other aspect.

>>8677141
Is it weird to message that seller and ask where she bought it originally ?

>>8677434
Link to the cat purse? It's adorable!

>>8678577
Couldn't hurt?

>>8678517
Did you message the forwarding service about the stuck item? they'll usually go check for you if you bother them enough

>>8678600
Yes, both times. The first time they never responded, and the second they responded after I sent them around three messages in a four day span with what seemed to be half a sentence (further up in the thread here) that I couldn't get the meaning from. I'd contacted the seller and asked them to call and see what was up as well, so I don't know if that was what prompted me receiving the message back or not. Even with the response back message, the item didn't get unstuck until I consolidated the rest.

Maybe I just have really bad luck. The order they've posted for me has been stuck without updates too, dashing my hopes I may at least get that part in time. Ah well, maybe I can just save it for next year's halloween meet.

I'm looking for nun-style lolita dresses that are available to purchase or reserve on taobao right now (so not like nameless poem), any suggestions please? I've found one by To Alice so far.

>>8673322
Another pro-tip: most natural pearls have imperfections. They have tiny ridges or patches, aren't perfectly round and the shine sometimes isn't uniform. Just like you can see on the photo you posted.

Freshwater pearls with no imperfections are very very pricey and are usually only used in high-end precious metal jewelery.

newfag question but is it more economical to order from taobao + pay shopping service and shipping rather than buy resold stuff off ebay/storenvy etc?
I realize resellers inflate the prices but since the shipping and service costs are cut does it make much of a price difference?

>>8679593
It's definitely cheaper to use an SS. Storenvy/Ebay mark items up a way too much for it to be worth buying from them.

/fa/ggot here, is it possible to ask the seller for more pictures of their product? These specifically
http://world.taobao.com/item/520578593384.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.K8foZz#detail
I'm trying to work out if this seller is trustworthy or not, seeing as they have only a handful of sales.

>>8672169
Electronics can be fine, I've bought them before without problems. Check the reviews and the store rating.
The only concern might be something with a battery because they can leak or explode in transit if they're not good quality

I'm trying to buy a few otome dresses from taobao via the forwarding service, particularly this store: https://store.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.1MZPOE&user_number_id=286533749
but the shop cancelled my order. Through some shitty google translate it seems they need me to buy the 1元 listing to confirm my order or else the system will automatically cancel my order. the 1元 listing doesn't allow for forwarding services though so i can't buy it. Is there any way i can go around this or will i have to go through a shopping service?

>>8680656
Yeah, I've also bought electronics and electronic components off Taobao before with no problems.

I would also advise against batteries though, I'm not actually sure if the forwarding service will ship batteries.

>>8680569
You can, but you have to have a shopping service be the one to ask the question. If I'm completely honest with you, there are so many shoe replicas on Taobao (even replicas of shoes that come from indie or obscure fashion brands), that I wouldn't trust anyone selling them on there. I've also noticed they have the same stock photos as many other listings of the shoe, an immediate redflag

Not taobao but... http://www.amazon.com/Hipster-Carlton-Sweatshirt-Hoodies-Pullovers/dp/B012IDMH2A

what shop had those etc replicas ?

>>8679593
Aliexpress is sometimes cheaper though.

>>8679593
never use storenvy for taobao shit. you can use aliexpress though, it's better to do that for smaller orders(if you can find things) and pretty much all shops offer free, government subsidized shipping.

these?

I just did an order full of replicas.

Please, God save my soul. I can afford brand, but I only want replicas.

>>8680728
Mmm, damn, I really needed new shoes and these seemed like a godsend. Do shopping services do small stuff like that for free? I have an account with Yoybuy from a year ago, though I hear they're shady now, that I could ask, but I'm happy to register for Bhiner, I just don't want to have to Paypal them $5 or something.

>>8681093
What did you buy?

are these type of jsk/ suspender things that are one size not gonna fit right on someone who is 175cm? besides being short I mean.
