It used to be a Taobao shoe "shop" where only distributors could order the actual shoes. Otherwise, it looked like a shop that just sold socks to the average shopper. They used to have really nice (better than Antaina imo) tea parties and other lolita shoes. Idk what happened to it though.

Not true; I got my D.VA gun prop through (US) customs and it was the one with lights, wiring, laser, and functions as a battery pack. My SS told me that they were packaging it separately, filing the paperwork for it, but weren't responsible if it didn't make it through customs though. It was a risk that worked out.

If you're looking at gun replicas, trying to by from aliexpress is much easier and safer + higher rate of getting stuff through customs.

I have experience with both Ytaopal and Superbuy. SB is better if you don't need fluent English service and are just ordering general items without any custom measurements. Ytaopal is better if you are ordering items that you want to be very sure of the measurements of, for example I ordered a cosplay with them with specific detailed measurements and a request for a different length skirt and they were able to get it done without any issues. They're more expensive, but you get good service, good quality control photos, and fluent english in return. Superbuy messed up my order when I was attempting to purchase that cosplay in that the seller refused to sell to them, but didn't tell me there was an issue until I went and asked their customer support team.

why is finding a white or platinum blonde bob wig that isn't partycity-tier shiney so impossible on taobao?!

Probably gonna end up buying a long wig and just cutting it and praying, I guess

So I'm planning on buying a ton of small items for diy resin shit. Bezels, glitter, holo film etc. I'm planning making sure I buy at least maybe 10 items from each shop so I'm not buying one tiny thing here any there but what's the chances that the service I use is going to lose at least half of it?
I've bought on taobao plenty before, but only shit like clothes and accessories (and things have definitely been lost). I've seen a lot of craft stuff on resale sites like sophie & toffee but for stupid markups so I was trying to avoid that.
If anyone had experience with buying this kind of shit and sharing how it went I'd appreciate it.

They're pretty much what you would expect for the price, cheap taobao boots. I'm only going to be using them for cosplay so I don't mind. They don't have any padding in them so an insole is going to be necessary. I wouldn't recommend them for big legs or wide feet, since there's no zipper and they're a tad narrow.

Tights: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=44255805852
Typical lace tights you find on taobao. They have quite a bit of stretch.
Mint sweater: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=562389436194
Good sweater. Very comfortable and warm. Smelled a little funky at first but the smell came out. It's not going to fit like a sweater dress unless you're short though. The sleeves are also a tad short. I'm 5'6.5" for reference.
Cape: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=562598830412
Took forever to come in but it's really nice. Very warm with a fur lining all the way through, not nearly as shiny as in the stock photos. The bow on the front is pre-tied and can be buttoned on to the cape, but there's regular ties to close it too. The one thing I'm not impressed with are the hooks to close it, they're on kind of weird and not so easy to hook closed.

>>9767481
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36638313280
I have some pros and cons:
Pros:
>looks not too shiny unless it's in real bright light.
>it's heat treatable
Cons:
>slightly darker than the stock photos but that's to be expected
>supposed to be straight, was very wavy out of the bag and took half an hour of battling with my straightener to get the bangs and front pieces into a less mangled shape
>the cap shows through on one side (though I'll be taking the braids out so this might cover it up)
>immediately got kind of staticky (though again this might have been my fault since I tried it on with a sweater)
Overall it's alright but unless you want to deal with restyling a wig I'd skip on it.

Comes in black/white, JSK or nurse OP.

Okay this one was of decent weight and has two layers to it. One is the print layer and the other is an underskirt? layer that you see at the bottom. They're connected in two spots on the sides. (I think I posted pics earlier when it arrived?)
I'm wearing two deflated pettis that I had on hand with this because I haven't gotten around to replacing them yet. Most of the print is hidden because of that.
Definitely regretting not getting the matching nurse hat from the shop so if anyone wants this, definitely get the matching hat

>Night Witch by Lemon Honey

This one I got for a Halloween coord and then it arrived mid Nov to early December, somewhere along there.

This one was the one I was least pleased with. It's one layer and pretty lightweight (in a bad way) even if the bodice and the waist ties are velvet material. I also couldn't find the zipper on this damn thing until time to take it off because it was so well hidden. It has pockets though!
This one was the shortest of the dresses and my pettis kept dropping out from under it which you can see in the pic.
The dress is just overall kinda cheap feeling which sucks because the print is adorable and I wanted another witch coord (especially with my collapsable hat, best 2-month wait ever for that thing).

Yeah, if you love the print maybe get it but to me it's basically what you think of when you think "Oh, it's a Taobao dress..."
This definitely could have benefited from what the Hospital dress did by adding a separate layer under it.

Didn't know it was an AB knockoff. I've been seeing this everywhere on Taobao and usually their knockoffs are print-based so it never crossed my mind. That's a little awkward now..
And yeah, it's a cheap cincher with velcro in the back. I bought it as a cosplay though so I don't mind. Especially since it's so easy to put on and remove without messing with the laces.

The AB one is similarly frumpy and you can see the design is the same. Even details like the shirring straps and zipper in the back are the same.

Thanks for the heads up! I honestly had no idea and I try not to buy replicas. Taobao makes it a little tricky with the non-print ones because after a while some dresses become widespread generic that every shop has so no one calls it a replica or anything.

Usually 2-3 working days given you don't run into any holidays, shipping within China is super fast. The bigger variable is how long the shop takes to ship things out and if there's a delay on the item (made-to-order, out of stock, pre-order, etc.)

Your SS could have an address somewhere (contact page, footer). Then you check it up on Wikipedia to see in which province and prefecture it is, and how all are written using Chinese characters. On Taobao there's a shipping estimate right under the price, and you can select where it's supposed to ship to, to know the date.
For my order last week, two packages took 2~4 days to reach SS, but boots from Angelic Imprint arrived only today, after about 7~8 days. Kinda accurate, considering the page said they would take 7 days to come.
There are also things like pre-orders. For these I'm already waiting few weeks (since full payment), even if the full listing already appeared and I ordered and paid on the first day. I originally pre-ordered in November.

Oh, and also check your SS's main page, they might mention somewhere when they close. It can be as early as early February. Mine closes on the 6th already, and doesn't make new orders since the 1st.

It's not too bad. It's a bit lighter than in the stock photo. I am going to make a few modifications to it such as making it more formfitting, switching out the braids for thicker ones, and adding interfacing to the hood so the weight of the ears doesn't make it flop, but those are more because I want to elevate it than those things being bad. The sleeves are well stuffed and have little invisible zippers inside so you don't end up limiting your hands, so that's nice. It does up with velcro in the front.

Got a collar with leash, eye mask, two bondage ropes, set off wrist and ankle cuffs, some kind of spanking bat, and a gag ball.
Collar and cuffs are made of faux leather with faux fur on the inside. Both the fur and ropes are soft and really pleasant.
All items appear to be totally fine. I don't think I will enjoy the gag ball, but it's made of hard plastic and doesn't smell, so I assume it's safe for moderate fun.

If my SS didn't fuck up, I would also already have another collar, with two chains and nipple clasps, but it appears they forgot to package it, and I can't get any more info until the end of CNY.
I'm not sure how I would feel, if it's in the other package, that heads to my parents home (better post, less pedantic customs), that I want them to repackage and send to me…

I wouldn't risk with things that you put inside yourself. Maybe if it's glass or metal, but then still would be very careful.
Better get them locally, or from Japan for some specific toys.

E1 - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=551882911499 - I love this hat! Really nice quality. Has hair combs installed in the bottom, as well as a removable ribbon. I'm just not crazy about the weird flower gap in the front, but its not a huge deal.
D4 - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=537873520933 - I really love these shoes, but when I got them (and the white pair I got), the straps were insanely long. It made it impossible to walk in them, and it looked insane. I had to poke my own holes in them to make them fit. They fit great now, but I'm not sure why the straps were laughably long?

They are actually shower caps! They work really well, too. I've been using the Kuromi/My Melody one for a week, and the image hasn't faded or chipped yet.

E5 - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=558821593039 - These bloomers are AMAZING! Really great quality for the price. They are made of cotton and have really nice lace. Perfect for old school.

F1 / F2 - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=27741724 - I'm surprised with how nice these are. I had low hopes, but the quality is pretty good. The lace is really soft and fluffy, and the socks themselves are like a stretchy tights material. I got them for more daily wear, when I don't want to ruin my nice raschel socks.

B5 - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=542120829462 - Really nice quality! I was hoping the fur was a little softer, but its still really pretty. I got it to wear over this pink coat I have. It also has loops around the inside, so you can attach it to buttons on a coat.

>Sorry about the delay! I was out of town for a couple days.

I'm also doing the same thing. I was able to pay with my VISA. Did you follow a guide at all? There may be a step you missed.

Taobao keeps telling me to do a captcha and its really annoying. It wont accept the input I put in half the time even though it is correct and it keeps popping up like every page I browse.

What is this and how can I make it go away forever

I was having the same problem a few days ago and the best I could do was just leave it for a day or so and then come back.

Where in the process is it giving you trouble? Is it in the alipay screen or...? A screenshot or c&p of the problem would help. I have always paid with my visa with no problems.
