Is Taobaofinds anon OP?

Sorry if this is onvious but does anyone know what term to search for those buttcape corsets that brands like BPN and Sheglit tend to have? I barely even know what to call them in English so the dictionary's not much help.

I just saw that bread on eBay last night. It says it’s only 15” so I’m disappoint.

>>9671082
Nah, I just wanted a funny photo for the OP pic and it was easier to find through Taobaofinds than trawling through all of Taobao.

Anyways, here's a collage of some of my picks this time around. Is it bad that I'm already making another order when this one hasn't even arrived to my SS yet?

>>9671095

>>9671095
YES please, links to stores would be greatly appreciated

Any other gulls still being strung along by buynosaur?

>>9669441
https://shop137153579.taobao.com/ is having loads of chain crfting related supplies.

>>9671095
Im gonna need links to all that

>>9671089
Not quite sure either. Have you tried an image search so you could probably pick up terms?

just submitted an order, probably should've waited until the 11/11 sales but oh well~

I'm sure this gets asked in every thread so apologies in advance, but I'm hoping there's an established resource someone can point me to:

Master list of taobao brands that cater to plus size?

(The above spreadsheet has info on whether brands take custom, but that's both broader and more narrow than the subset of data I'm looking for.)

>>9671334
Just type "MM" into your searches and it'll give you plus size stuff.

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/newsletter/Pre-11-Lp.html?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=pre201711.11en

Anyone doing the Yoybuy coupon thing? I bought the second-tier one for $12 that gets you $16 off your 11.11 order

>>9671089
I think those are bustle skirts right?

>>9671389
So you're actually getting 4$ off your order? That doesn't seem like a great deal.

i have a question, what shipping do you guys use for big taobao proxy orders and how much does it usually cost?

>>9671271
Links to them shimas.

hi, sorry, i'm the same fag who keeps asking about the cageskirts

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3-c.w4002-7642184343.85.2e1f8adf6ZWzN3&id=554364387905

thinking about getting this one tho

has any one else tried it or have any others they would recommend?

>>9671269
I have, but so far it keeps just interpreting them as completely different things and sending me to like raincoats or lingerie in vaguely the same colours

>>9671389
Be careful, I love yoybuy as much as the next guy but it looks like these deals are just as shitty as their anniversary ones. There are minimum order amounts each can be used on, plus you can only use one per order, and you're only actually saving 10/25/50cny ($1.5/$3.75/$7.50) much as they try to distact by adding in the amount you're paying normally. Basically when all is said and done, you'd actually have to pay about $255 minimum (divided into 3 orders) to save a whopping $12.75.

>>9671391
that's what I thought but from there my strategy would be to find aliexpress listings and use the image search to find their corresponding taobao listings but all that bustle skirt would give me was actual historical-style bustle skirts like pic related or a million listings for party city style petticoats and ravewear. It's the closest I've gotten so far, and I havent given up the search yet, but if someone has a listing or keyword I could start from this would make everything so much easier

has anyone found a gerudo link cosplay on taobao?

>>9671481
I have one that I ordered recently, after all the shipping, conversion, and stuff it was about $40 CAD and I'm obsessed with it. I'll find the link for you

>>9671594

This is the one! You can collapse it too so it's easy for traveling, but don't leave it like that for too long or else it gets a little weird. It's pretty big already and it's easy to layer other petticoats on top for maximum floof.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing reviews for items on the new website? It shows me how many reviews are there but then when I click on it they never load.

>>9671628
Im having this problem on Chrome but the reviews show up on Safari.

>>9671464
Eh, it's $4 I won't have to pay so that's better than nothing. I had some credit leftover from my order that hasn't shipped yet so why not.

>>9671687
I'm using Firefox and they still won't show up. I also have Chromium (chrome clone for linux) and that doesn't work either.

I have one from Yotsuba, that is adjustable in length, shape and size. It's great, I wear it with everything. Works with both a-line and bellshape dresses. It came in a bag that you can use to store it. The one I have is version 2.0, and there is also a version 3.0 now.
If you want pictures, let me know!

My taobao account has apparently been temporarily frozen even though I only use it to browse. Does anyone know why this happens/how long it's been frozen for/how to fix this problem?

>>9671334
>Master list of taobao brands that cater to plus size?

I would also like a list.

We used to have http://plussizetaobao.tumblr.com/
I wish they still updated. I used to be able to click on items and at least trace them back to a store which would lead to more plus size items. But now they haven't updated in so long that the products usually don't have a listing anymore.

38 Miss is one.
https://38miss.taobao.com/

2099 is another: https://2099.tmall.com/?spm=a312a.7700718.w5001-14440943431.2.72194ab1Ta3iyM&scene=taobao_shop

On the bright side typing MM like >>9671376 said works to a degree.

>>9672041

Thought an album would be the easiest thing.

>>9671082
I posted the Pizza Hut dress. It'd been talked about in the previous thread, was distinctive for easy finding in the catalog, and was amusing.

I think the Taobao and Alibaba threads are easiest to find when they're a little outrageous.

>>9672339
To clarify, no, I am not Taobaofinds anon. >>9671082

>>9672308
omg thank you sooooo much! the poof that thing gets is amazing. putting in my order for one right now!

also, i looked at the shop; did you buy any of the accessories (like additional layers, etc.) that they offer on some of their other product pages, or is that just everything that automatically comes with the cage skirt?

this is the one i'm thinking about buying: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=558003339463

My Dolly Cross Hospital JSK just arrived to my SS so anyone else who preordered one should get theirs any day now.

I’ve recently been wanting to order some lolita dresses and what not, but I need recommendations on the shopping services, what do you guys use? (I’m in the US)

>>9672484
I’m thinking of giving bhiner another shot.

>>9672484
I always use spreenow, they're a little slow on pre-orders but they're by far the easiest I've tried out and I've never had any problems with them.

This is my first time trying to get in on the 11/11 sales. Short on some answers to some questions I vaguely remember seeing last year. I'm opening a small business and I want to buy some supplies from stores I figure will have the sales.
>How soon ahead of time should I submit my order for the sales?
>Should I also tell my SS to only submit on 11/11?
>Is there a way I can find out before hand if a store is going to participate in the sale?

>>9672501
nayrt, but I hate their shipping fee so much... i'm trying with yoybuy now, but it's so fucking bugged on Firefox in my notebook.

>>9672484
i've used taobaoring a couple times now and i've never had any trouble with them

>>9672551
1. Whenever your SS starts taking 11.11 orders
2. Yes, if they're taking 11.11 orders
3. They should start advertising and there's a search function that should come out that will let you sort results by 11.11 shops.

Does shipping get extra fucky around 11/11 time? I know they will have a lot of orders to fill... I have a cosplay that won't be ready until the beginning of November and I'm nervous it will get stuck in shipping hell.

>>9672484
I use Taobaoring and like them a lot, but I assume that they are not the cheapest. I don't mind paying a few extra bucks for good service, though. I used to use Buynosaur, sad to hear they fell by the wayside.

>>9671628
I'm having the same problem, regardless if I clear my cache/cookies, etc... I just have to view them in IE or it doesn't work.

Does anybody know if it's decently cheaper to just use taobao's forwarding service for a bigger order? Mainly wondering about shipping prices on taobao's service compared to SS.

>>9672620
Yeah the mail gets super clogged. It's like if Black Friday was solely online.

How do i find girl clothes on male size on taobao?
Mostly cosplay.

>>9673168
Through custom sizing

>>9672348
I bought this one:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c.w11361400-14641546755.5.18e16ed9JYU4tq&id=527894610009

I just bought the petti, nothing else.
I think the on you linked isn't a hoop skirt? It looks like a more traditional petti, just adtjustable.

>>9673001
Thank you!
I always really appreciate thorough picture reviews of petties, so I'm just glad I could help someone else for once.

Where can i find lolita cardis and cutsews (coming in different sizes) on taobao?
Cat tea party have nice cardis but they only have one size that would be too tight on me, i don't want to look like a russian bimbo.

>>9673204
eek, you're right; thank you for pointing that out. since it looks like they're not actually taking orders for any hoop skirts atm, i guess i'll just try and keep an eye on them til they open them back up again v-v

i did notice where they're actually selling discolored, peachy-toned versions of 3.0...i guess it wouldn't really show under a dress, but...it seems they really only have long versions of it left, anyway?

>>9673168
- Look up listings of your desired cosplay.
- Check measurements and compare them with your body measurements
- Proceed to order the size best suited to you or go for custom sizing, else continue searching

Also don't make the mistake to lie to yourself about your size.

The OP of the Taobao General will provide you with enough tools and material to work through the chinese descriptions. Use the google translator or for a complete page translation the google page translator on itools com.

Good luck on your hunt anon!

>>9673475
*Forgot to add:
If you're unsure about the quality, check the review tab and look for customer pics, or try to translate their comments. Or just straight up ask in the Taobao General and people will tell you, if the quality is passable or shit tier.

Shops for deco/gyaru nails?

I'm having a small issue with a cosplay I ordered. It's kind of a long story but I would really appreciate if anyone could help me. Will put a tl;dr at the bottom. Also, would anyone know any stores for just normal skirts that aren't listed in the OP spreadsheet?

Several weeks ago I wanted to order a cosplay, and contacted my agent only to find it was sold out. While I was looking for another one, I found that the listing I was originally interested in had changed and it now said they had one in stock with a specific size; I assume it was a return as they previously said you had to send them measurements whereas this one specifically had 1 in stock that had a listed size. I checked with my agent again and here's where the problem comes in; I can't remember what they said exactly. I THINK they said something about needing to wait 2 weeks, but I didn't save the chatlog (it was live support) and have no way of viewing it now.

The seller still hasn't shipped the item and upon clicking the 'remind shipping' button, they got back to me with this
>the item you ordered the seller did not shipped, I have already contacted the seller to verify many times, but without any reply yet, I suggest you apply for a refund.
I really just want to get this particular cosplay because it's unique and good quality based on the reviews. I'm going to try contacting support this evening, but does anyone have advice otherwise? Never had trouble like this when ordering from Taobao before.

tl;dr - Ordered a returned (?) cosplay, seller might have advised 2 weeks to ship, has not replied to agent messages. Would like to know what to do because I really want this one rather than having to get a different one. Thank you!

>>9673168
I've seen some cosplay listings where they provide an option for male sizes even for female characters. Also, popping in the chinese word for "male" in the search terms might narrow down but also limit the listings that pop up.

been trying to nudge my so towards more 'flower boy' sort of fashion lately but i don't actually have much experience shopping for men's clothes on taobao, does anyone have store recommendations?

Anyone know that app/site that tells you the price changes of an item before and after the 11/11 sale?

>>9673121
Darn, maybe I am going to have to shell out for a physical drop petticoat. Thanks for your hep anon

Anyone else having issues with shop images not loading while directly browsing shops?

How do I make a seller hurry up?

I ordered a fairly elaborate prop in late August through a shopping service from a four-heart seller. In September, the seller said it would be ready by the end of September. In October, the seller said it would be ready by the middle of October. Now the seller says it will be ready by the end of November.

I really can't figure out what they saying. I think it says they have one size small in stock, please contact seller before ordering. Don't just order without saying anything?

>>9675082
Hearts are lowest, gold crowns are highest.

>>9671091
Fucking size queens.

>>9675170
Google and zhongwen dictionary extension says size S to drop one item (not sure what it's supposed to mean), you need to wait 2 weeks for delivery. Contact seller before ordering.

>>9675304
Thanks, thought so, mainly the first part I'm confused about

>>9675175
>>9675082
Chiming in but even the shop experience ratings aren't entirely reliable. You can have a shop with multi-crowns but their customer ratings be 4.0 or something. The shop experience ratings just means they've had a certain number of sales, not what their quality/customer service is.

Hey does any one know any taobao agents that ship to Japan?

>that feel when Lolita overseas
>but too busty for those brand blouses

How often are taobao brands likely to have left over stock for others to purchase? I meant Foxtrot and écailles De Lune specifically.
I'm not sure if I wanna jump on a reservation yet, but if I miss out entirely, that'd suck. Any experiences?

Is WW.fleur a viable option for taobao stuff or are they gonna charge me out the arse? Any suggestions for a better SS that ships to Australia?

Just a small purchase, but it has been so long since I bought anything for me that it feels good now.

>>9675424
Where can I get those blue panties? Also be careful with that pen. I took mine overseas and when I used it I noticed it was leaking. Not externally though just when I took the cap off

>>9675749
sure, here's the link https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=44742838659

And thanks for the advice! I'll ask my SS to pack it well to avoid staining anything :(

>>9675327
You can just order directly thru taobao from japan, saves you money too. Else, literally any SS will ship to japan.

Never orderd on 11.11 before.
This says on something I want to buy:
11 / 11-11 / 11 per full 200 minus 20, not on the cap
11/11-11/11每满200减20,上不封顶
Does it mean it will be -200yuan or -20%?

>>9675170
I think in that first line "掉落" means that some buyer dropped out (not sure if they didn't pay the 2nd payment or returned it or something), and the second sentence is the shop owner asking customers to not haphazardly preorder and end up dropping out later.

>>9676239
You save 20 yuan on every 200 yuan you spend, and there's no upper limit.
For percentage discounts usually they write something like 8折 (20% off) not just a plain number.

>>9676288
That sounds accurate, thanks

My item hasn't moved in 6 days is that even normal? It says my local post service received the info/item has been announced but nothing since.
I already lost a parcel once so i'm pretty nervous

Does taobao sell bodyline stuff by any chance? I've been waiting for costume991 to restock in pink in size M but they haven't got anything for a while.

Leaving this here because people often ask fur sukeban-y stuff often, also comes in pastel pink.

Yeah just search Bodyline in English and you'll get stuff. Check 2.taobao too.

Could you please link the pink long-sleeved cutsew on the top row (it's the third from the right), the pink and grey plaid skirt, the sax cardigan in the second row, the pajamas(?) on the far right third row, the cage petti, and the pink gloves? Sorry for asking for so much, but you have such a cute haul!

>>9673677
I've run into another problem now if anyone can offer advice please..
I went ahead and found that I could order it, but I just got this message from my SS.
>Hi,The seller made it clear that they wouldn't sell it to us-Buy on sb's behalf, The seller says you can only buy it by yourself, It is recommended that you cancel the order or negotiate with the seller. We will handle your case ASAP.If we do not receive a reply from you within 72 hours, we will refund your order first. If you still want the items to be delivered, please resubmit your order with remarks.
Does this sound like a case of the sale being refused because the seller doesn't want to sell to shopping services or something? Any ideas for a workaround? Im pretty desperate for the thing I'm ordering. Thinking of contacting them directly and asking if they will ship internationally.

>>9677415
i'm not cute haul anon, but here's the link to the cage skirt:

> order multiple items from buynosaur
> they are great and friendly, until they start to ignore me

> they finally respond and say their emails are ending up in my spam. sure.

> they refund me for that item, offer to ship other items for free

Welp. Doubt I will be able to get back in contact with them.

>>9677553
Sounds like it. I would give the seller a shout and see what you get. I have definitely straight up contacted sellers in English before and have had manageable responses. See if the seller would prefer to ship it to you directly or if they are okay with shipping to your ss if you provide a china address. They might not want to mess around with international shipping at the end of it and just send it to your ss after you clarified the situation with them. Remember to throw in a lot of please and thank yous lol.

This is what happens when I submit multiple SS orders over the course of several weeks. Much of this has already arrived to my SS, other items are still being processed.

>>9677582
Thanks, I'll try. Going to use google translate and apologize for using machine translation as always.

Yeah, but I decided there might be less color transfer if the colors are lighter. I'm just willing to take the risk for some socks.

Which of these options is the grey color in the photo? There are more options than color swatches listed at the bottom, so I'm having a bit of a hard time, and the translations don't make sense.

Link to the listing? I can only read a few like "chocolate" and "honey tea" but I feel like I might get a better understanding if I saw the listing details.

Has anyone else had issues with taobao earrings causing infections?

>>9679290
>>9679295
Thanks!

>>9679370
I would encourage you too look at the alibaba list.

I haven’t gotten infections /from/ the earrings but some people can. Nickel can irritate skin which makes it way more infection prone. Cheapo earrings usually make my lobes kinda puffy and gross.

Still as long as you don’t think they have lead or lead paint then they won’t be too bad

>>9679370
I always put some cheap hand sanitizer on mine before every use and never had an issue. You might have an allergic reaction to some of the material used in them or just got a bad batch.

Does anyone know what these two things mean? (pic related)
The dictionary is really great but these two don't seem to be in it and it's an image so I can't copy and google translate.

>>9679529
have you already tried newocr?

>it was shipped 18 years ago

I'm beginning to think this will be my future.

>>9679605
I did and it doesn't seem to recognize it.
(thanks for the tip though, didn't know about it)

Does anybody know any stores similar to budbaby/Pink Sailor? I've checked the shop list but I'm just looking for something with a bunch of cheap Popteen-esque jewelry.

>>9671204
yes, me, still waiting for an order I placed in January, I saw people getting the dress around June or July...

>>9673000
not the anon from the order, but I have that petty and it is SO damn poofy, I have no use for it. I seriously feel it makes me look like a christmas tree. If that's the look you want to go for - and I'm sure that IS the look some want to go for, especially with OTT outfits - you should order it. For me, it's just hanging in my closet and I hope it will deflate some day.

>>9679634
Jesus. I used to love them but that's unacceptable and you need to get your money back.

Pretty sure it's listed on Angelic Imprint's taobao store, who I bought socks and shoes from a few times so the backpack is probably ok

>>9679973
It’s cheap af regardless so get it anywhere thsf you like. The lace is fug too

>>9679649
It is annoying but if I email them every day, after like a week I get a response.. I wouldn't hold out for your preorder though. They have made some poor excuses for me but they did refund me eventually. I hope they resolve it for you soon.

Any chinese friend here?
What is this store trying to tell me?

If I don't buy 160 yuan in stuff they will charge me 25 yuan for domestic freight? Or they will charge me 25 yuan anyway?

I think this is my longest running order since I started using Taobao.

That's really weird! I'm trying it too and the first one I can't get to make sense. I keep getting "after the long", or "rear in long" if I try it one character at a time.
I think the second one you have highlighted in shoulder width? (It tells me "small shoulder width")

>>9680300
Same anon who replied, I just realized that some of the characters coincide with the image on the right. (Derp, missed that the first time lol) So I'm pretty sure that the second one is shoulder width. Do you have a link to the listing or a higher quality version of their sizing chart?

Do any lolita brands even do 11.11 promotions? Ive recently made the switch from predominately sweet to classic, sold out my sweet main pieces for classic ones, but im lokking at a $600 order of classic blouses and accessories just to have some options to coordinate things with.

Really generic question before I start looking at the spreadsheet etc, but has anyone purchased a (mini)skirt recently for casual wear that they can recommend? Was just looking for something simple, preferably in black or white. Was going to get this one anyway: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm&id=558041342596

>>9680957
ooh links to the magic forest witch hat, gem choker and horns please? these are all so cute...

>>9681660
No offense, but how do you not know this information already if you're already a lolita? Anyway, the answer is no the jp brands don't.

>>9680957
Links/pics when you can of the diamond tights and the black dress with the 11/11 stamp on it?

>>9681667
Anon, I'm not sure if you're being cheeky but this is the Taobao thread so they must mean Chinese brands.

>>9681660
I've also noticed a lot of brands don't seem to be participating. Brightlele (wigs) and L'Amour de Versailles (classic; some aristo; history/film-inspired clothes) are the only ones I'm aware of since I have their items in my cart.

>>9681646
The hat is limited handmade batches of 5 per month and the batch they're on now won't ship out until December, maybe? Then again mine said it wouldn't ship until the end of October and it hasn't left them yet.

It says it's out of stock but they may restock for 11.11?

>>9680926
I tried to figure out but I haven't a clue. Best bet is to ask your shopping service via their help chat or something.

I want to give back to this thread after always asking questions. Here is an interesting store I found with lewd-ish things. I figure they're of a reasonable quality because they have their own boxes and a fairly high rating, but I could be wrong.
https://paloli.taobao.com/

>>9681794
What in the fresh hell is this..

>>9681700
Ah thats what i figured thanks anon I was wondering if it was better to do a huge order now or just break it up into smaller orders since i hadnt seen a thing about 11.11 on any sites.

>>9681667
Well good thing im not trying to buy from japanese brands off a chinese sales platform!

This >>9681794 reminds me, does anyone have a link to those "hentai" tights? They had all the lewd things written on them in the top portion with arrows and such iirc.

>>9681803
I want this.

>>9677575
Damn it, they offered to ship mine for free last month and when I asked if they shipped it yet, no response, I'm pretty annoyed.

>>9678468
Update: the long sleeve blouse is also sold out in pink so I'll have to look elsewhere for a pink blouse, the one thing I was really doing this order for.

Yeah I think that one is shoulder and the first one is probably related to the length. I'm just wondering from where to where since I'm afraid it might be too short for me (I'm 177cm)

out of curiousity, what's the most you've had to pay for a package? and what was the total cost? add in weight if you know it.
a few years ago i did a $600 group order of cosplays, wigs, etc. and the shipping ended up being $250 ish.

I put in an order for Dolly Cross Hospital unfortunately just after the pre-order ended. I'm using SpreeNow and they told me to wait for the ready stock which would be available early November, but I messaged them about it yesterday asking if it was available yet and they said "The seller said it will be available in end of December or later." Should I expect to actually get this dress?

>>9682758
Early November was when preorders shipped so yeah, probably December or later for regular stock.

>>9682648
for bags, i know there's whalefall (https://whalef.taobao.com/)) and i have ordered a bag from mufish before and love it (https://mu-fish.taobao.com/))

this shop also has some pretty cute designs https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=559539583759&toSite=main

I have never bought anything from Taobao, neither ever cosplayed, but one particular set of cosplays caught my eye, which I would really love to get.

https://elfmade.taobao.com/category-1348233251.htm
Only some of these cosplays are present in the store, all at the 9999/999 price, and can't be bought yet.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=557874611139
The offer seems to be pre-order. Do I need to get pre-order to be eligible for the cosplay? How about the ones that are not available?
How can I know if the store offers custom sizes? If it's possible, how can I ask about that?
And most importantly, how can I get them all? There seems to be a sale on 11/11, so it would be perfect if I were able to get them then.

Any help is appreciated.

Can anyone recommend me a few indie taobao brands that do skirts? I've been wanting to go more casual lately but I've noticed a good chunk of taobao brands don't really do skirts, but there's gotta be some out there, right?

>>9683586
what do you define as 'indie' taobao brands? Most of my usual favourite taobao brands all release skirts pretty often, but I feel like they're all pretty well known ones by now

Dumb question incoming.

For the 11.11 sales, do I have to wait until the actual day of, or can I place an order before then?

I'm ordering direct from taobao, not with a shopping service, if that makes any difference.

>>9683773
You need to wait until 11.11.

>>9683098
The specific one you linked is exclusively a deposit page. So yes, you would need to preorder. Some stores are doing preorders ahead of 11/11 and then opening the remaining balance listing for the items on 11/11. This probably helps them with gauging how much to manufacture and also everyone is going to do massive hauls around this time so stores are releasing new cosplays to hype it up. If there is no deposit page and the listing is just 9999 yuan then you are probably going to have to wait for 11/11 for the price to change.

Your best option is to probably get in contact with a ss now so that they can preorder for you and be ready for your order when 11/11 rolls around. The ss can help you with any sizing questions and any other questions you might have for the seller.

>>9683773
You can add things to your cart now (some sellers actually tell you to do this in their listings) and then wait for 11/11 for the price to change (don't forget to check for store coupons and discounts when you are in your shopping cart) and checkout on that day.

I need to fucking vent
A seller I was trying to buy off said it would take 2 weeks to ship an item that only had 1 in stock. I tried to purchase the item from the seller in mid October immediately after finding this out. My agent contacted him and received no response. 2 weeks past and nothing was shipped. When I contacted my agent they recommended that I cancel my order, but I didn't want to do that because the thing I was buying was unique. I went and contacted the seller myself only to find that they refused to sell to shopping services for some inane reason. I decided to try contacting and using another shopping service a few days ago but didn't have a credit card available at the time. NOW, when I get my credit card in the mail earlier today and go to check the listing, the last one sold. Fuck this stupid shitty website and their retarded xeonphobic sentiment. Money is money and I'm not going to return your stupid fucking dress, why do you think I'm going to do that just because I'm buying throug a proxy

>>9682861

Now the question is, which SS would be best to use, if I need something pre-ordered and with custom sizing?
I checked the spreadsheet from OP, but on Buynosaur they say they do not accept new quotes now.
>Temporarily stop taking new quotation requests
>We’re sorry to stop taking new quotation requests, we’re now focusing on our awesome existing customers, if you have any questions, send us a message on our ‘live chat’ or on our ‘Contact Us’ section!

Taobaoring has been pretty good for me so far

For anyone else buying direct from Taobao, is overseas shipping taking a lot longer than usual? Tracking hasn't updated since 11/1, when it said it left the operating center. I guess that's not incredibly long, but it's never gone more than 2-3 days without updates on my previous orders. Is this normal?

>>9684955
My last one took two full weeks after being shipped instead of the usual one.

I guess I should have just stated Taobao brands. Sorry, I'm so used to calling them 'indie taobao'. I guess any taobao brand that sells skirt will do. I don't see many selling skirts at all, unfortunately. I feel like I'm looking in the wrong places.

When is the best time to submit orders for 11/11 to SS? TaobaoRing just says 1-3 days, would it be better to submit sooner or later?

has anyone bought from twintail-china before? tempted to buy this set: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.20160405.5.34439d1dc1j7kJ&scm=1007.13066.91048.100200300000000&id=537700631211 + https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c-s.w4986-17331890972.2.7c76774efumcWS&id=537818701823 because it's so cheap

>>9685638
Submit ASAP and make a note to the SS to order on 11/11. They'll usually sort it out on the day and get you to pay the first payment as soon as they process the sales prices as long as you make it early.

I'm putting together my first Taobao order, but international shipping from shipping services seems very expensive. Does anyone know what shipping service have the cheapest fee, or should i look up some tutorials and order direct from Taobao?

>>9685685
mostly depends on the weight of your package though. The more orders the more expensive your order is goin g to be

I save a large amount of money buying direct, both from not having to deal with the fees and with MUCH cheaper shipping. On the other hand, when things go wrong I have to deal with the hassle of google translate talking to sellers. It's only happened a couple times though, so to me it's very worth it.

Just my tip, go with JCEX if you buy direct. They're a little more expensive, but way better as a forwarder.

on taobaoring 2kg is 50 bucks with EMS, 40 with SAL.

I’ve been searching for knockoff Piglettes, but so far I’ve only seen them in small on Ali.

Any advice for search terms? “Long ear rabbit plush” through google translate seemed promising, but it only brought up similar ones, not this exact model

Some items got sold out so I replaced them with others, but I haven't updated my collage yet. Currently at $450 pre-11.11 sales ;_; I might post a new collage in the next thread after 11.11

>>9685347
>So were they only willing to ship to you directly?
They weren't willing to sell it to a foreigner at all unfortunately. I suggested that but he said no; I even specifically mentioned I had no intention of returning it cause I knew it would fit me. I feel a bit better now though because I managed to find another tailored one that, while not as fancy, is closer to the original character's outfit.

>>9685685
I typically pay $40 or $50 NZD with superbuy for a 2kg package via EMS.

If a shop is having 11/11 sales, they generally will plaster it all over their home page, right

Does anyone know when exactly one can purchase items after the whole pre-order has ended? These bags seem to be available still and people already received theirs, yet I still can't select/buy one https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3-c-s.w4002-16927098808.57.17ec550dPrrquT&id=549567299735
I just want a cute roomy bag for bbys first coord ;_;

>>9685685
Buying direct saves service fee but not necessarily shipping fee depending on the forwarders that are available to you. Foe example, my forwarders only allow DHL and EMS so the package comes in literally 3 days but shipping is still quite pricey. Whereas ss and other 3rd party forwarders usually offers some slower and cheaper options.

>>9686291
Glad it worked out for you!

>>9686305
Pretty sure deposit/pre-order and payment for the remaining balance has both passed which is why they have started shipping out orders. So the listing is basically closed.

>>9685448
Thanks anon! So I guess that means they do offer free domestic shipping as long as it's 160 yuan.

Anyone know anything about Basetao and if they're doing 11/11 orders?

Just put in my order. Supposedly everything is still available. If nothing goes out of stock before I get it, it'll be my first order where I don't have to forfeit anything.

S/O to the anon upthread that linked that Miu shop!

The scarf/shawl has cats on it, the tiny pic is hard to see.

this is my first 11/11 and my first time ordering from taobao desu
should I contact the forwarder now or wait until the day? or should I have had contact with them already? I'm kinda lost.

>>9687023
Link to the dress on the top right corner, and the bows next to it?

Hi all, my gilfriend is a lolita and I'm planning to suprise her by putting together a prince/aristocrat look to escort her to a local event.

I know Lolita isnt cheap so Im olanning to take advantage of the 11/11 sale to purchase my outfit.

Any recs for male/masculine lolita shops? Vest/Ruffled shirts/ pants/ jackets.

So far all I have is a black feather mantle.

>>9687474
What size male? Measurements will be helpful if you have them.

>>9687378
Would also like advice on this, I've ordered from taobao before but this will be my first time grabbing stuff during 11.11

>>9687378
>>9687598
I've ordered one time 11/11 items before. I remember paying them beforehand but have in mind that doesn't guarantee your agent is going to make it on time. I remember some of the stores I ordered had some dumb requirements like "We will start selling at x hour!" and of course I missed at least two of the 11/11 specials. I used Taobaoring btw.

>>9687378
I'm not sure about other agents but Bhiner has an option when you check out that says "I want the 11/11 discount" so maybe order beforehand.

Can you help me translate what these options mean?
颜色分类:
大正 全款
COS版 全款
COS版尾款
大正版尾款

I understand that 全款 is full price, and 尾款 is with pre-order.
But what's the difference between COS版 and 大正 / 大正版? Pic related.

>>9687774
Cosplay version and Taisho version. Maybe the Taisho version is better quality or more accurate historically than the cosplay art design version.

>>9687023
Link to the wig?

>>9682726
process of elimination has told me that first measurement is the length of the dress, looks like from the shoulder to the hem. If you do get it, maybe check in with your SS about it? It also shows all the measurements for their models it seems, but I'm not sure which one is modeling here.

I'm 160 cm, and I measured the 77 and 83 cm length from my shoulder down and if that's correct, holy crap it's a short dress. But like I said, maybe ask your SS about it just to be sure.

>>9687846
Sorry I meant to say it hit my mid thigh, maybe a little shorter

>>9687811
NAYRT but that looks like Dreamholic

>>9687023
I think I bought the same clips as you! I got the larger size in the gold and silver and they're great!

What do you call that pink ribbon in this picture? I want to get one, what search term on TB do I need?

Also, are the measurements on this page in CM or Inches? I can't tell
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=541481537916&ns=1&abbucket=3

Can anyone recommend any good twin tail wigs?

Can you check if I translated the terms correctly?
Also some help with the untranslated lengths in the blue table would be very welcome.

>>9687777
Thank you.

>>9685347
Forwarding, yeah. I used Zhongshan Express. I've never had a problem with them before, but now I'm getting really worried. So I contacted their customer service and they pulled up this other tracking site that showed that the package arrived in NY on 11/4 and "submitted customs clearance information" as of 11/6. I figured Taobao's own tracking just wasn't updating for whatever reason, and felt a lot better. Except... fast forward to now and it's still stuck at the customs update. So it's been in NY, in customs, sitting around for ~5 days? And the domestic courier has only said "label created" this entire time, not even anything about it reaching the US. This has never happened with any of my orders before and it's freaking me out.

>>9687846
The blue one on the chart is the hem, not sleeve length which is on the diagram.
Apparently the red one on the chart is the distance from the start of your shoulder to your neck (or twice that value, there seemed to be conflicting answers online), but since this is a sleeveless dress I would guess it's referring to the width of the strap.

>>9687939
You mean a tie? Try searching "领结 JK" or "领结 制服".
>>9687950
... but it says cm right there? lol
Generally if there is no unit indicated, you can assume it's cm since they rarely use inches.

>>9688007
Mostly looks right.
"sleeve swing" probably just means at the edge of the sleeve.
In the blue chart 里衣 = inner (shirt?), 羽织 = haori, 披风 = cloak/cape.

>>9688031
Sleeve swing is this thing right here.
衣长 seems to be apron length, after looking at two places it appears in, and its length.
Thank you for help with the other translations!

>>9688031
But it says the waist is like 16 inches (when converted) on the largest size and considering the world record holder for smallest waist is 15 inches I don't understand why its so small

>>9688105
That's the length. The waist is the number after that.

How do the shoe sizes run? Do they tend to run true to size or small?

>>9688112
if you're asking about that specific pair, providing a link or at least seller name would help

if you're asking about taobao shoes in general please read the faq and lurk more

>>9688233
Ahh good to hear! I'm trying to make my casual wardrobe more edgy, I just wear a lot of t-shirts and jeans right now, and I want to put more effort into dressing less like a bum. Your links were here at just the right time.

>>9688408
You don't need no stinking google translate.

But no, seriously, just match the symbols, select the option, then hit translate. It's "shen tea"

>>9688418
oh man, I'm really dumb for not realising that. Thank you!

cross-posting from aliexpress thread.

i remember seeing a dress once that was made with the same embroidered motif as these shirts - does anyone know where i might find it, or even have an image of it?

i remember seeing it once on taobao earlier this year but now i can't find it anywhere.

thanks in advance for your help, anons!

>>9687533
NAYRT but I'm in a similar situation.
My measurements are 100 cm chest, 89 waist and 45 cm shoulders.
I just can't find any store with men's clothing besides edgy emo shirts and crappy "steampunk" ones.

>>9687533
Im 37 inches chest, 35 inches waist and and 35 inches hips. Im 5'10.

Thank you fkr the help!

>>9688008
Same thing is happening with my packages from taobao.
Last parcel took 9 days total, and my current order has been sitting in limbo since Nov 1.

The china post volunteer at the forums here says NY customs is having a backlog and it might take 2-4 weeks

>>9688179
Okay then wel..

Does anyone know if these shoes fit true to size?

Is there a possibility that items ordered during the 11/11 sale will arrive by mid December? Or am I out of luck?

>>9688827
Depends on the shipping method.

Does anyone know a good shop that sells underskirt? Particularly ones that have a lace bottom instead of just ruffled? I have this dress pictured that has this type of lace on the bottom, and I'm wanting to sort of match it instead of just throwing a ruffled underskirt beneath it.

I might be more normie but hey the gloves on tmall were on sale and were sheepskin/wool
my 11/11 haul because none of my fabric shops had good sales only a few yuan off.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=558108912157
Are these only on sale (70->35) for today? They were 35 a few days ago as well but I'm not sure if it's just a limited time thing.

was about to pay for my 11/11 items with my SS when i noticed that the price listed is the usual price, not the discounted one. should i be worried? asked my SS already but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

>>9689147
I've been looking for one for a while as well, best I've found so far is Infanta but your best bet may be to buy some similar lace off laces.taobao.com and add it to a plain underskirt yourself.

>when you see candy rains new collection

>>9689502
The system probably doesn't register the discount. Just manually put the discount rate and pay. If you pay the full amount they'll just refund your excess.

>>9689551
thanks!

Is anyone using taobaoring? Have they updated your guys' order yet? I paid sort of late, but they updated my order only to show one of the items had been refunded so far and no confirmation on the rest of the order.

>>9689664
I put mine in 3 days ago and so far I only have updates that all the items were available.

Started using Ytaopal and would recommend if you need a proxy with excellent English

Forgot to add:

1. Almost all of these things come in different sizes and colors
2. #1/2's shop is full of home decor items and also has some good stuff for organizing your wardrobe.
3. #4 also has listed matching wristcuffs and necklaces.
4. #9 has several pieces of jewelry in that listing along with the earmuffs, scarf, and mittens.

Did anyone happen to order from ascosing yesterday and know how the 11/11 deals that they were offering work? Not talking about the lowered prices that were already on the different items but the buy x get x off and I saw something about a %discount. I didn't see any options for those though when I checked out and no coupons as I perused the store. I'm just wondering if the store itself will just refund the difference later or what. Not a big deal if they don't because I'm pretty satisfied with the prices already but would be great to get an even better deal lol.

>>9689664
I placed my order 11/10 and paid today. Now it says they're waiting for my stuff to come in. Seems like they work pretty fast?

Holy shit, can I have a link to the ass we can underwear

Hey gulls, I haven't done an order for about a year and a half.

Last time I heard there were issues people were having with the service I used to use: Yoybuy. What happened with that? Is it all okay now?

And can Australians still just order straight from the site with no issues? Sorry for bab questions. Appreciate it

>>9690871
Backlogged at customs, not necessarily confiscated unless you have items that aren't allowed.

>>9690960
Still seem to be mixed reviews for yoybuy so I'd be weary. Taobao has a forwarding option for Australia.

>>9675424
Review the long sleeve blouse when you get it please.

>>9689966
Yeah, I paid within a few minutes because I'm a gremlin and I stay up all night. As soon as they updated the availability I paid up.

>>9689394
The dishware is so pretty! Link please?

Have anyone issues with CSSbuy? I log in, and my username, address changed like I am on other's account. My parcels and orders changed too. Is full of watches and erotic lingerie. I was waiting for my order to be shipped and I cannot see shit.

I have the long sleeve blouse in black, It is one of the best blouses I've ever owned, I sold my brand blouses and just ordered these in every color. for 11/11 I have lanky arms so I was excited for long sleeves that finally fit better at the fraction of the cost of brand blouses.

They're on Aliexpress too if you want a link

>>9692610
Thanks that'd be awesome! I've got long arms as well so I hoped this would be long enough.
