/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've decided I'm finally going to order some things (mainly wardrobe fillers and accessories), but the shipping from SpreeNow seems overly expensive? I've ordered from places like Mercari before, and the shipping was only about $40-$50AUD, but for the same weight SpreeNow estimates $80. Is SpreeNow known for high shipping prices or should I just suck it up

>>9832024
for how much weight though? $80 means nothing if we dont know approx how many kg you're looking at and what shipping method you're choosing

>>9832050
>>9832024
(and if spreenow's not telling you that shit you need a better ss)

>>9832050
It’s one pair of shoes, a blouse and a fair few small rings/accessories. I would assume no more than 3.5kg.
>>9832053
I guess I’m also asking what ss any others use/how much they charge you for regular shipping

>>9832126
Yeah based on my past parcel weights there's no way that's much more than 2kg (shoes a bit under 1kg, blouse maybe 4-500g plus your accessories/packaging) , and even that should only cost you like $44-50 AUD to ship by EMS to Australia. I'd say ditch SpreeNow and stick to a SS upfront about items weights and shipping options instead; something's distinctly not right if that's what they quoted you for those items.

>make order nearly a month ago
>expensive item still not at my SS
>said it would take a week to make, not a custom made item
W-when should I start trying to get my SS to raise hell?

Does anyone know why isn't buynosaur replying to any form of message? Tried live chat, email and even facebook and no luck

>>9832126
That's way too much
I paid 120$ for 8kg and that were way more things than just a pair of shoes and some little things
---

Also anyone know the term for these kinds of hats?

>>9833933
you mean fascinators? 網眼面紗

>>9833562
just give up bud, they're dead

>>9832352
Yesterday.

>>9832126
Oh whoops didnt see the second part of this. The shipping quotes I quoted here >>9832195 were from the Yoybuy estimator, which has usually been on track with what theyve charged me (just be careful with shipping by DHL as seen in the last thread, as you can be charged by volumetric weight instead. This applies to most if not all shopping services). Also they weigh each item as it arrives so you can see how much your total items (or any given combination of your items) weigh and ship accordingly, which I like

>>9834084
Any recommendation to an good agent then? most of them don't have their currencies updated and I ani't gonna pay an extra 40 bucks for it

Could anyone tell my what the top and bottom of this chart mean? I think bottom is for custom sizing but I'm not entirely sure

Just logged into my yoybuy account for the first time in ages and discovered that an item I bought five years ago and that I recieved without a problem is still listed as "pending". Does this mean I actually still have to pay for it or is this just some system error?

>>9834909
Sometimes if you leave something in your cart for a while but dont submit it, it gets saved to the "Pending" section, like a draft. You probably just added it to your cart ahead of time or something and then when you went back to actually purchase it did so again, not knowing the original had been saved for you. You dont have to pay anything.

>>9834893
top is women's sizing, bottom is men's

When is Yoybuy's live chat available?

>>9834302
Thanks anon, I checked out Yoybuy instead and their shipping estimates seem alot more realistic!

>>9835053
ty! i shouldve known haha

>hi,There is a bottle of liquid in your package. The shipping agent told us they cannot deliver the liquid. shall we take it out?
>Literally only ordered clothes and shoes

>>9835545
it's cum

>>9835545
Some sellers include freebies with orders, some of them being liquid samples, hair care products etc. Since you didn't order it in the first place, it's not a big loss to take it out.

Anyone knows what happened with the Stars Rainbow Store? (mianyangrouchuanguo. taobao)
Did they move stores or just stop selling all together?

will post reviews once i get them, anyone whos interested i will post links if requested.

>>9834909
You can just ignore it or send them an email asking to remove the message.

>>9826484
Where did you get the slippers from?

Is there a reliable taobao store for lace fronts?

>>9840351
Not currently: one had appeared a little while ago that seemed good, but it only lasted a couple months in the spreadsheet before the link went dead/shop disappeared. Been trying to search for a replacement but no luck so far

>doing group order
>still hasnt been sent stuff we ordered on like the 10th of march from stores which have been prompt in the past, no custom orders
should I kill self now or later?

Anyone got any links for bloomers?

>>9840497
Same anon, we're still waiting on a blouse that was supposed to take 7 days to make. Still being made. It's really annoying. I'm considering getting everything else shipped at this point because this is ridiculous.

I notice a lot of stores have a listing that costs 1 RMB but the information doesn't translate very well. It usually has something to do with shipping I believe? Anybody know what it's for? Just want to know if I should be taking advantage of these or if they are actually just random notices.

>Order dress
>Wait 2 weeks
>Seller told us item is out of stock

>>9841215
Not 100% sure but I think those are just how they can charge you extra for shipping to remote parts of china/particularly bulky parcels (ie if you owed them 5cny extra in shipping you'd "buy" 5 of those 1cny listings instead of sending them the money by some other shady method). Not generally relevant when you're using a shopping service

I know this is incredibly specific and I am doing my research/looking at reviews (and have a couple fave shops bookmarked from previous purchases) but does anyone have any white wig listings they can vouch for as being nice quality and actually pure white (not silver)? Always so hard to tell if the review photo lighting is messing with me or there's an actual colour difference

>>9841224
This happened to me with bhiner

Is there some way to make it so your SpreeNow order doesn't show up on the main page?

I kinda wanna move away from using SSes and try doing direct delivery, but I'm nervous. Any words of reassurance/deterrence?

Does anyone know what New Dangan Ronpa V3 is in Chinese...?

Just searching any of the Dangan Ronpa translations in the Dictionary doc has nothing for the third game, and google isn't helping me figure it out... Any help would be appreciated, I feel like a dummy.

>>9841597
Would a tutorial help? I just wrote up a pretty detailed tutorial for a panel at Sakura-Con and I'd be happy to share. I order directly all the time.

>>9841597
The more Chinese you know, the easier it is

>>9841638
You might be able to ask /v or /vg? Someone here might know but I think most gulls only use Taobao for clothing items?

>>9841647
nayrt, but I would love to see any tutorial!

>>9841593
No. You must suffer the spreenow judgement just like the rest of us.

>>9841573
Did you try order the same things at a different ss?
I feel like my SS is just fucking with me because when I pm'd the sellers they said it's in stock. IDK

>>9841597
For taobao direct/forwarding, I would say that I would only recommend if you are comfortable with maybe having to exchange replies with customer service for possibly a few hours and having to repeat yourself multiple times in different ways in case they don't understand. Google translate will be your best friend for those couple hours. Of course this is only for if there's something that needs follow-up. You may not have to talk to them at all and ship everything through just fine. Also check the shipping options and make sure you're comfortable with those. They generally have the fastest and most expensive ones. Of course this depends on where you live. I believe there are more and cheaper options if you live closer like elsewhere in Asia.

If you do go through with it I would recommend you ask them to reweigh your items just in case and also to check your package label/slip for the weight. There was a difference between my first weigh in and the reweigh and still a difference from the reweigh to my package label. They refunded my the difference but it was a bit of a headache to deal with.

Are any stores currently selling a fur fabric heart shaped bag? I missed the ordering time on the Berry Q one, and really want a fluffy purse. Other shapes may also be acceptable. Thanks in advance.

To continue on my rant on >>9840497
ITS NOW SOME 'TOMB-SWEEPING FESTIVAL' which sounds metal as FUCK but WHERE ARE MY THINGS????
If it was just me I wouldn't really give a fuck, but I'm doing it with my friend and I feel really bad that they've fucked us (also worried I've fucked up since it's my part of the order that apparently is still in transit, hers has arrived, but I made sure that everything was in stock and not preorders)

Anyways thats my rant over. TBR why do you hurt me like this, I loved you

recommendations for bloomers and shoe clips?
or anyone know the key word for kawaii shoe clips

>>9840497
I ordered something in January and it finally showed up this week, X_X

Anybody know the search terms for sets? You know, cute blazer/skirt sets, matching crop top/skirt sets, etc. General asian fashion stuff.

>>9841928
>this is really helpful and should be added to the top of threads desu, thank you anon

Anyone know how to order from monkeep? I've noticed they have another store now and google translate suggests that it's for wig orders but I'm not sure.

>>9807849 if you're still here, could you please review that pvc holo jacket when you get your haul?

>>9841638
They use the kanji version of the original title, so 弹丸论破V3 or sometimes including the word for "new" 新弹丸论破V3.

I used to be able to use tb fine but everytime it asks me to login now, however the captcha they use keeps failing? So I can't even do that.

I've cleared cache cookies like the faq suggests, tried chrome and firefox, downloading opera now if anyone as any advice.

>>9843982
I am still here but our items haven't shipped out yet due to waiting on one thing (and Infanta being lil shits who don't update which items are out of stock on their multi-item listings). In the meantime, here's an image of it from my SS. Looks pretty much like the stock photos so far so I'm hopeful.

>>9844293
Try opening Taobao in incognito mode. It's the only thing that works for me.

Ok so I'm a bit confused, is there an option to buy only the top of this set?

Anyone seen these types of monitor covers around or know what they're called?

I've tried google translated computer cover/laptop cover and monitor cover but nothing.

>>9844350
found it nvm

>台式电脑显示器保护套

>>9844297
Yes, the options are
>c黑无本上衣+黑裙+枣领结 (Black no stripe top + black skirt + red tie)
>c黑无本上衣+枣领结 (Black no stripe top + red tie)
>c黑无本上衣 (Black no stripe top)

Just saw this on LM earlier today and missed out on buying it because I needed to get some info from the seller first. It says it's from taobao though, so I figured I'd ask to see if anyone knows the shop?

Ordering from Monkeep is the same as ordering from any other store on Taobao, except they only have things for sale occasionally.

Does anyone here buy directly from taobao? And If so do you know why alipay wont let me add and new debit card?

Guys what happened to fantasysheep? I haven't been visiting taobao since '15 and all my favorite shops have vanished or changed a lot.

>>9843982
So is the honeymelody one for Spot and the main Monkeep one for preorders?

>>9845800
Some banks really don't like alipay. I've run into this problem before. Try the paypal debit card, it's worked for every international purchase I've ever made.

This is a fairly vague request, but does anyone know stores that sell things I can use to make my room cuter? Maybe prints or something. I don't know what I'm looking for.

>>9845934
...there's literally an entire home goods section of the store spreadsheet dedicated to making your room look cuter

I'm looking for a heart shaped button maker, but have had no luck finding any. Any recommendations as to what to search for? I can only find regular circle shaped ones

>>9845889
Thank you you saved my life

>>9845831
I could just be pulling this out of my ass but I seem to remember at some point taobao implemented a change limiting what shops could sell? So a lot of them that were cosplay + wigs + makeup, etc. Narrowed their stock down a lot and some straight up closed. I can't find this mentioned anywhere though so I might be very wrong.

anyone know what happened to coconuts.taobao.com?

0 recent sales, seems like the store's gone inactive

Could someone translate the ascosing dva size chart for me? A lot of it isn't on the dictionary spreadsheet.

Anyone has a recommendation for white, over knee length bloomers with lace on bottom and some side ribbons (something cute to show under a dress)?

>>9847605
Happy to help.

>>9848325
have youat least already tried newocr?

>>9848325
First three are bust waist hips, no idea about the rest.

>>9848325
Bust
Waist
Hips
Sleeve length
Sleeve width (I think this is the length of the armhole seam when laid flat. I searched online and one person says it's measured from the armpit corner to the top edge of the sleeve, perpendicularly to that edge, but with that method 25 cm seems too large for a tight bodysuit.)
Sleeve opening (at wrist)
Thigh circumference
Leg opening (at ankle)
Inseam length
Full length
Back length (not sure what this is referring to... it's directional "back" and not the body part, so possibly from under your butt to the ankle?)

Anyone recommend any shops that sell longer pettis suitable for long IW dresses?

Has anyone tried shipping beads like pic related? The shipping company keeps telling me they are contraband and they can't send "pellets". I don't really understand what would be the problem with these? They weren't really expensive or valuable. They would be shipping to Canada if that matters.

I'm a bit stumped atm, anyone know what search term I could use to find Pearl Purl thread for Goldwork embroidery?

What’s a good way of buying just one thing?
It’s not on AliExpress or anywhere else so it’s gonna have to come from taobao

Saw this on a dress in the ToAlice store and I'm just confused about what exactly it means and why they would be selling it

>>9850545
Roughly:
>There are defects with the products. No returns or exchanges. If you mind then don't bid. Defects are shown in the pictures below, each defect location is not the same. Do not choose, random delivery. There might be a difference in color with the pictures taken with a mobile, refer to stock pictures.

A lot of stores will sell their defective stock (generally minor but noticeable issues) at lower prices to clear their inventory. That way people who don't mind small defects can get the item at a lower price and the item is not a total lost for the seller.

What’s a good SS that would allow me to purchase from fril?

>>9852015
Wrong country. This is for Chinese SS.

Thank you, tax return.

Fucking hell, it's so tiresome
This isn't the first time I've had problems with taobaotrends either, lately it's always something, and last order they completely missed to order a blouse and dress that I ordered? And didn't tell me until I was ready to pay for shipping

Anyways, I'm gonna try to decide on what other ss to use... Just a warning that taobaotrends is kind of unprofessional, and though I've had good experience with them in the past, I don't think I would recommend them anymore

>>9852766
Yeah i wouldn’t use them either. try superbuy, I only started using them earlier this year but so far so good, some minor communication issues but it’s good. They have a 24/7 chat service and they actually have a good grasp of english, i was impressed.. my second suggestion is bhiner, though to me they’re lower than superbuy

>>9852222
Nope, I just put a clear coat of nailpolish on the metal before putting them in.

>>9852766
Never had any issues with TaobaoRing. Western Union fucked me over with my most recent payment and they've been nothing but understanding while I try to navigate the bureaucratic hell that is getting any answers out of them.

Any brands selling cute, classic-appropriate aprons?

>>9853027
asking the same but heart-shaped aprons?

>>9853001
Seconding taobaoring, their engrish is passable and their customer service has been nothing but great. I fucked up on my last order and it got split up onto 4 separate orders because of CNY and fuckups on my part. They were really understanding and the order went smoothly otherwise, fees aren't too bad either.

>>9849884
Just buy the one thing. Your shipping cost will be a bit high but that's it. It usually works out to about the same amount as AliExpress for the same item anyways.

>>9853001

>>9853789
Email them?

So I've been away from taobao for a long time now, and I'm having trouble discerning if these items are able to be bought or if they're on the tail ends of deposits (second payments) and I missed out. Can anyone help me figure that out?

Why do you all go out of your way to use services with questionable policies, bad CS or weird bugs? Just use Superbuy or Ytaopal.

It it a good idea to buy shaping/slimming underwear from Taobao? If yes, what's the term for it? I tried looking in the dictionary but I couldn't find it.

I don't have the option of shopping locally, so I'd appreciate some help.

>>9854932
because I tried switching to Superbuy and had a far worse time: set up my account and it wouldnt send me the validation link no matter what I did, but wouldnt let me do anything without it. Tried emailing their customer service twice about it and about a year later I've never gotten a single response. So I just went back to the ss I've built up a lot of points and benefits with, and which keeps throwing big coupons at me when I don't buy for a while.

>>9855072
I’d go with aliexpress for that one, bought some shaping wear there and it fits perfectly.
Lots of heavy russian housewives in the feedback so you’ll know the size fits you

>>9845831
They jumped on the premade cosplay costume bandwagon because just selling base wigs wasn't as profitable. I have 3 wigs from 2011 from them and they are gorgeous, but a few years after, they changed and now it's all about peddling the same plasticy crap and premade costumes that everyone else does.

gulls do you know if the seller "loliloli shop" off aliexpress is a taobao reseller? They have cute stuff.

Are any of the Taobao lolita brands particularly friendly with shipping directly to overseas customers? Would like to try this first time without using a shopping service

>>9855118
I bought some socks from them once, obviously can't tell if they're a reseller from just plain socks but they seem like a taobao reseller to me.

>>9855118
Save the pics from their shop and run them through taobao's picture search.
Maybe you'll find what you are looking for.

>>9855118
Got a bunch of stuff from them, they are a reseller but I guess they might sell pre-owned items as new too.
One of my dresses was missing something, the other one was half destroyed on the chiffon part.
Only buy there if you realllly can't find what you want on taobao.

Do any of you have any recommendations on shops that might have clips similar to this?

All this came in today if anyone wants links/reviews!

>>9855926
what exactly are we looking at here?

So I've never bought from Taobao before, but it's the only website I can find the right bag for my cosplay on. All the sellers for it (theres like 6 of them) have about a 4.8 average rating in all categories but none of the listings for this specific bag have reviews. They're only about 10 dollars each(minus shipping but whatever) so I'm not gonna be too upset if the quality is bad and I only need it for 2 days in July. Should I try it?

>>9859175
Actually I just checked and one of them has a review that just says 'Good'?

>>9845831
I miss Fantasy Sheep a lot. It was decent premade cosplay, that was always my stop if I had only a month before a con to get costumes. Can anyone translate what's on their taobao now? It's just a bunch of pictures of spaghetti.

>>9859175
in a situation like that i like to check their other products and see the reviews to get kind of a gist if they're true to their word. if most of their other items have good reviews and you feel confident enough go ahead and buy. Atleast thats what I do, I haven't had anything come in any sort of horrible or wrong conditions yet. If its a good store you should be fine!

>>9852743
oh I love them, they are between releases right now. I know they recently closed a pre-order. I'm hoping they made extra for ready-stock though :S

>>9852766
I have used tbt for 10+ orders and feel the same way. They completley forgot to reserve a dress for me recently and I'll probably never see it on lacemarket which sucks. I feel they have been getting more and more unprofessional lately. So I'm also looking to switch to a new SS.

finally got an order i've been adding stuff to since november. happy to provide links or review any of the items; i'm pretty pleased with most of it.

the Aurora + Ariel petticoats are freaking amazing, so is the Moi Moi Honey cageskirt. excited about the shoes too, although i doubt i'll ever order shoes with scalloped straps again; it's damned hard to feed them through the buckles.

>>9859138
It's really hard to find pictures of them but they are swimmer brooches that are puppies! I just love the concept of stuffed animal brooches?

>>9860143
I'd love a link to/review of the rhs please, if you dont mind!

>>9860185
link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=541862900244

i think they're really good for the price. the base/sole is a firm, solid rubber(?), the stitching is good, they seem sturdy, and the fit is nice and snug. would recommend, although i haven't gotten to wear them out for an extended period yet

https://hengjijia.taobao.com/

Has anyone bought a wig from this store before? Everything is incredibly cheap so I'm skeptical.

What do I search for to find more stuff like pic related? I'm looking for more colors but I can only find these ones and like navy blue. Or if anyone knows any shops that sell this kinda thing.

>>9841779
Is buying direct really that hard? I just put in my address (Australia), picked a shipping (there was only one option) and it took my money. This was my first time buying from taobao, did I fuck up?

>placed an order for a few blouses, cardigans, socks and some other small accessories
>everything went fine, got proof photos and everything
>paid and everything got shipped
>box arrived yesterday, looks like it's been opened (has two layers of tape)
>start to worry, open it to take stock on my stuff
>things are missing... two of the three blouses, one pair of socks and one cardigan

Great...
They were just generic clothes as far as i know.

Does "spot" normally mean preorder? I've only done one taobao order before, and it was all in stock items. How do restock or preorder items work with using shipping services? Will I just be charged the "spot" price, and then more when the item is actually in stock?

>>9860374
Yeah basically. For me the phrase usually comes up like "reservation spot" which means its a preorder.

When you reserve something like that with an SS, you pay the whole cost of the item upfront. There is no two payments

>>9860248
let the postal service and your taobao service know immediately!!!

>>9859056
>All this came in today if anyone wants links/reviews!

Can you give links to gloves please and - are they really your size and from stretchy fabric, not this weird wrinkly stuff?

Just placed a small shitty order for some last minute convention things. I am utter shite when it comes to picking tights for outfits.

>place an order for some stuff I really want, wigs and clothes etc
>eh, might as well add some small stuff like socks when I'm at it
>two weeks later, everything has arrived to the warehouse except the small unimportant stuff
Every god damn time
I'm so impatient I always just feel like telling them to send the rest of the order, because I want my stuff!

>>9860243
The difficulty comes not in doing it but rather what to do if things get fucked up

>>9860430
Wh-what am I in for if it fucks up?

>>9860445
A world of seller communication translation hell

>>9860448
It says it's shipping to the warehouse now, does that mean a warehouse in China, then it'll get shipped to me from there?

>>9860464
Yes.

>>9860466
Alright thanks! It said free shipping, but once it gets to the warehouse will I have to pay for international?

>>9860479
yes

>>9860486
okay cool, thanks for answering my questions! I hope this goes okay.

>>9860400
Sure thing!
The short ones shown on the left here are these:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=542771147605 (I got two pairs of the size XL, the smaller sizes are generally intended for kids. I have pretty small hands though so I'd probably recommend the XXL if you have normal or largeish hands)

The long ones on the right are these:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=526395843575

Both are very stretchy and comfortable, and the shorter ones have absolutely no shine to them either, which is a welcome change from most. The long ones are from a similar sort of spandex as you'd find used for most zentai suits, so they have a bit of shine but nothing excessive.

Anyone happen to know where i can find a red ita bag like this one? been looking for days. ;_;

>>9860707
That's the original seller. What you want is a cheap shitty knockoff.

So I bought one thing on Taobao, it was a custom order and they said it’d arrive at the SS 72hours after ordering but it’s been 4 days now and I’m mildly scared, does China have a “no post on Sunday” thing too or did they lie on the amount of time it’d take?

I just want photos to check if my order is right on custom colours rip

Link to headbow veil?

>>9861234
Sure thing! Short story is everything is exactly as pictured, will add more detailed pics/review though (I might have to do them one or two at a time though so I dont have to spend the rest of my life making collages of collages)

The black stretch pleather is from here: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=22208727371
Took a chance on this one due to the good pic reviews and price and was happily surprised. It's an incredibly comfortable 4-way stretch with a soft, almost fleecy backing: not at all thin and flimsy like I was fearing and has a nice weight to it. Might end up being a bit too hot in hot weather so I guess we'll have to wait and see if I die, but hey, worth it for that price. Only downside is it stank like a bitch when I first unfolded it (that industrial factoryish smell you get sometimes) so I had to air it out outside for a day, but it didnt spread to anything else in my order and was fine after airing out. (Pics stolen from my insta story)

>>9852830
>>9853001
>>9860013
Okay so since I ended up having some problems with every other SS site I tried, I got lazy and placed the order with taobaotrends.

Two out of the items I ordered were out of stock in the color I wanted, so they asked me if I wanted to get the other colorway or cancel the order, to which I said cancel. One of the items was a sweater in blue which was only available in gray, which I didn't want.
A week later when everything has arrived and they send pictures, guess what I see, the gray fucking sweater.
Also a red wig I ordered as short (was available as both long and short) is very clearly the long version.

I'm gonna mail them and tell them to refund me for those items or something, but I'm very tempted to tell them how unprofessional I think it is. Not anything rude, just stating that I'm disappointed and that I think they're unprofessional.
What do you gulls think I should do? Is it a bad idea to potentially pick a fight with them ?

Anyways, for everyone in this thread; don't use Taobaotrends anymore, they're pretty much hopeless

>>9860143
How are the tights? Also link to the blue bow?

>>9861262
>headbow veil
>https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=530755457771
it's pretty decent overall, but a word of warning, one of the pearl chains became unhooked from itself seconds after i opened it and tried it on. either that or it came to me that way and i didn't immediately notice.

>>9861428
>blue bow clip
>https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=554454261192
really pleased with the hair clip.

out of the tights i have tried so far, the ivory constellation tights (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=38894453608)) are passable but just kind of meh, the gold isn't nearly as noticeable irl as in person.

the mufish rose cross otks (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=44943932429)) are printed nicely; they're just otks so they ride down constantly. they're also pretty tight so i would not recommend for anyone with thicc thighs.

the top lacy rose tights (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37356417904)) were nice and are as sheer as the picture.

the others look good as well but i still need to try them on. i can post here again once i do, if you're interested.

>>9861439
>as noticeable irl as in person
sigh i meant "irl as in the photographs"

sage for dumbass

>>9861439
>>9861443
Thanks for the reviews! If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate it!

I can't create an account to "log in" and thus can't browse shops anymore.
They just never send me a code or anything like that once i enter my phone number. What do? I wanna waste my money on cute shit

>>9860904
NAYRT but they (WEGO) was the ones who came up with the original design, but if youre personally okay with design replicas that's fine and dandy
you don't need to be an asshole about it though

>>9861234
>>9861393
Sorry for the delay, apparently somebody at work got our IP banned from 4chan...

The black spandex is from a listing I've bought from I think about 4 times now? Link is: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=538908423472

It's definitely been my go-to source for a while since it's comfortable, thick enough, drapes nicely and has absolutely no shine to it. It is actually a true black, my phone camera's just ass. For reference, pardon my shitty gijinka cosplay on the right but both the blues and the pink shown there are just different colours from that same listing.

>>9861234
Finally, the pinks I'm both really happy with too.
Darker semi-matte satin: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=525674117479
Lighter tulle: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=525766233287

Stock pictures are both more colour accurate than this pic due to the aforementioned shitty camera/low lighting. Nothing much more to say about these yet except they're good quality and from the same shop as the spandex: I've gotten several colours of nice chiffon from there before too so this shop is quickly becoming my absolute fave.

This stuff is finally in, if people want reviews.

>>9843982
The jacket's really cool. Only thing I don't like is the zipper's pretty stiff, kind of a pain to zip it up and down. The jacket itself is also quite stiff but that's because of what it's made out of.

>>9861727
Bags with heart cutouts did not start with wego, even if you'd like to believe it.

https://lxxxxxxx.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a313o.201708ban.category.d53.64f0197a5TLuBR&mytmenu=mdianpu&user_number_id=1030416531&scene=taobao_shop

Good shit here for decor.

>>9861807
No shit. Keyword is DESIGN. That's like saying all knockoff Kate Spade & Betsey Johnson items aren't knockoffs just because those designers didn't invent novelty purses. Or just because AP invented tea party style shoes, all of Baby's tea party designs are therefore not original designs lmao.

>>9861426
Oh fuck... I JUST made my first order ever using Taobaotrends and the most important item is a completely custom cosplay

How fucked am I

>>9861877
The DESIGN that you're trying to claim is 100% original is literally a rounded rectangle backpack with a Heart cutout. That's a far cry from Kate Spade and Betsey Johnson purses. A backpack with a clear heart cutout has been done before Wego. Please stop being a retard.
AP did not invent tea party style shoes, either. Taking mary janes and slapping a bow on them does not make it a 100% original design do not steal. Baby's tea party designs are not 100% original either. Just because a brand popularizes a design does not make it their original design.

>>9862074
different anon, but the real issue is that itabag knock offs in general tend to be shitty and require good arranging/decoration skills. If they can't even spell the word right, they'll end up with a shitty bag.

>>9862079
The conversation wasn't about the quality of the bags though; it was about the design. I don't see any misspellings in the OP either, unless you're referencing that they spelled itabag with a space? That doesn't really reflect upon someone's arrangement or decoration skills though.

>>9860402
Where did you get those fake ribbon tights? Reverse searching isn't bringing much up

>>9844294

Thanks so much anon! I'm so tempted to get that jacket now.

Also, could you post links and reviews for the four wigs to the right of the jacket?

This might be a lost cause but I’m desperate to find something to match the green in this dress. Either diamond or stripe pattern would be preferred but I’ll look at anything at this point.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone got links to cute sandals that have a small heel or are flat? Looking for white ones especially those that look kinda "himegyaru" ish or lolita

So for the past year now, anytime I've tried to look at product reviews on taobao the page never loads. I've tried on both world and s.taobao, and even different computers. The only way I've found around this is just using the app on my phone.

>>9862219
Sure thing. They're all from the same seller. Left to right:
Wig 1: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-6835595140.75.71db22818KwiJd&id=561132248303
I love this one. It's more pink than in the stock photo, there's definitely a big fibre blend. But it's the most natural weird coloured wig I've ever had. It's not shiny at all and the part's pretty natural. The bangs are very long so you'll need to get them cut.
One thing of note though is it doesn't come with bun clips like I was expecting, you need to put them in yourself (there's enough fibres to do it without making it look thin but it's kind of a hassle)
Wig 2: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-6835595140.92.70ae2281kQE5Qc&id=559117600514
Really natural looking wig, good fibre blend. The curls are pretty tight out of the bag. I had a little bit of trouble with some fibres coming out when I tried to comb the wig out to loosen the curls a bit but nothing serious. Same deal with the bangs as 1.
Wig 3:
This one is the only one I don't like, because it's not at all like the colour in the stock photo. It's literally a single grey tone and not a brown mix at all, which pissed me off since I need that kind of pale brown colour. I mean otherwise it's good? The tails are pretty short. The stock photo's just really misleading. It's weird since all the other wigs are really nice.
Wig 4: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-6835595140.55.71db22818KwiJd&id=551497530016
This one's a tad darker than wig 2 and similar in structure to wig 1. Fibres are soft and not shiny, wig's easy to comb. Same bang deal as 1 and 2.

>>9863925
Thank you so much! Also I forgot to ask, but are the wig caps tight or are they a good size?

>>9861800
anon could you review and link that cute sky backpack? thank you!

>>9864132
The wig caps aren't tight on me but they're definitely smaller than Dreamholic's. I'd say somewhere in between Cyperous and Dreamholic if that makes sense.

>>9864643
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=560777006345
It's a Swankiss defect or knockoff so if that bugs you then don't go for it. Otherwise it's kind of midsize for an asian backpack. It doesn't have much in the way of pouches, it's mostly just one big open space in the middle. It closes with a kind of drawstring and a clip, so don't go for it if you're the kind of person who needs a zipper on your bags. Otherwise I think it could fit an average weight of stuff just fine, but I wouldn't want to put heavy stuff like textbooks in it.
It kind of stank like Chinese plastic when I got it too so I needed to air it out.

>>9837551
They went bankrupt over a year ago, also why Fantasy Sheep is gone.

I'm just getting back into lolita and haven't bought from taobao in about 3 years. I see a TON of new brands, but it's my understanding some aren't good quality...
Are the old staples, like HMHM, Kidsyoyo, Infanta still good?
Is Honey Honey good? I heard Diamond Honey isn't such good quality, is it true?
Where is the best place for blouses? Brand blouses are always kind of short on me. I want ones with a good fit.
Is AnTaiNa still the best place for shoes?
What shops are like Fox Cherry now?

Thanks gulls!

Here's my haul from March, everything arrived and I can provide links and reviews.
Included the fake flowers in case someone else wants some cheap ones for hairclips. They look okay for what they cost.

>>9865695
Hey anon, I'll try to answer your questions but I am not an expert on everything. Maybe others can pitch in (and correct me if I'm wrong).

>HMHM, Kidsyoyo, Infanta still good?
Yes, though I heard HMHM is slow. Don't know about Kidsyoyo, personally.
>Honey Honey, Diamond Honey
You get what you pay for, imo. Maybe avoid main pieces/prints.
>blouses?
Depends on your style but people recommend Little Dipper and Infanta. Might be worth it to look around yourself with image search and look at reviews.
>AnTaiNa?
They changed sites, http://shop35767391.taobao.com/ . I usually recommend Sosicshop for shoes (not as much variety, less whacky).
>Fox Cherry?
They still exist but there are a lot of cheap accessory shops. Try Haruhi Clover (more sweet, country)

Hopey that helped at least a little.

>>9865695
Regarding Honey Honey, I own Cat's Astrology and think it's pretty nice for the price. It's definitely not burando level, but I love the print, and the construction and matching accessories are nice. I can't speak for their other pieces, though.

>>9865844
is that vest fully black? I've only been able to find ones with grey or different coloured backs so far

>>9865876
Cat's astrology is the one I was looking at, so I'm happy to hear the feedback. Thank you!
>>9865845
Yes, this helps a lot! Thank you!

>>9865844
Is that a rosette maker in the bottom right? Could I have a review/link please?

>>9865910
The back of the vest is grey striped fabric, the front is that soft fake leather. I don't particularly mind that it's not fully black, though.

>>9866133
I haven't tried it out yet and dont know if it's supposed to be like that but it's very thin plastic. I guess you just gotta be careful with it. There are two versions and I got the big one. Comes with instructions, two brooch needles, 4 felt backings, and two plastic front pieces.

Having issues pre-ordering a dress. I've bought dresses off taobao with no issues but this is the first time I'm pre ordering something. It takes me to the alipay page and asks me for my password. I put it in, but it just refreshes and the password area is blank again. I've even changed my password!

Three summer dresses and three winter dresses for everyday wear (will visit my gf in winter and i wanna look cute around her and not live in yoga pants and sweaters)
Also some sandals,lolita socks and a skirt because i needed some

>>9868637
taobao doesn't allow foreign cards when pre-ordering things. you'll have to get a ss to pre-order it for you.

>>9868654
gosh darn it.

Thanks anon, appreciate your help!!

>>9868654
...Not true. I have preordered using my paypal card from Little Dipper on two different occasions.

>>9868666
>>9868660
is it not? last fall i was trying to pre-order something and i had the same problem. spoke to my chinese friend and thats what they told me.

was it just like a "buy this listing to reserve and then buy this listing to pay the balance" or the kind where it's all built into the listing and it has the different steps and stuff. I've been able to do the former, but the later i have never been able to do without using my chinese card.

They will give you sass, there were a few times I had issues with something going wrong and they were kinda rude about it desu. Which is why I'm terrified for my current situation.

No, no you can't really. I tried replying in English and they ignored it for two days. I tried again in broken Chinese and they replied within hours. JCEX has better communication but they lost one of my orders and badly damaged another. I think I really will go back to proxies after this.

No update in almost 2 weeks....
I assumed it was in UK because it said it left for london last month but it’s not updated to say it’s arrived here either
what do I do, I just want my stuffffff

>>9874682
Yes, you can actually. You may have messaged them at the wrong time, but you 100% can talk to them in english.

Small order (ribbons on the candy brooch are blue though). I have this annoying captcha thing on Taobao popping up every 2 pages, what do?

>>9875035
Messed up the pic, here it is.

My order came in. Can review whatever.

>>9875035
Ugh I had the same annoying thing. Try browsing taobao incognito mode. That fixed it for me.

Link and review for Sakura coral wig and black blouse? Thank you!

>>9875205
Where is that black blouse from?

>>9875205
Link and review of that twin-tail wig in the top row? It looks so cute!

>>9875210
Check your checkout page, it might already be considered active and you should see it on the list of amounts on the right side. If not, I'd make a new account.

>>9875024
With Zhongshan? I hate to drag this out and I'm not getting defensive, but really? I've used them on and off for about three years and they've never replied in English. Sometimes I'll write a message in both languages in case my translation is shitty, but they always reply in Chinese. Is it possible Zhongshan has multiple Aliwangwang accounts and I've been contacting the wrong one?

>>9875403
Nayrt.... I've used them for quite a while also and have had to contact customer support on a bunch of occasions. I always let them know I'm using translation software. Once in a while, a rep will get cheeky and say "ok" or "thank you dear" in English, but the rest is always in Chinese. They're still a million times better than JCEX.

>>9875229
All the wigs are from Dreamholic, my first time trying them out.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=549584148138

Overall I'm kind of meh about them. I'm glad I have them and tried them out, but I probably won't be getting more of their wigs. The STYLE (not color) of the sakura coral is probably my least favorite I received, just a personal preference of mine. My favorite style I received was probably this one https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=563164941608 . This one is quite thick which i like. While the sakura corel one is quite thin and lays extremely flat to my head. In a sort of bizarre way.

I decided to try out the sakura coral after seeing it on a video
https://youtu.be/JUZkliaX9fY (not a fan of the girl, I was just perusing videos about the wigs).

I'm really glad I ordered off their taobao instead of the storenvy or w/e. If I paid the inflated prices for the quality I got, I'd be pretty disappointed.

Things I liked about the wigs
-large comfortable wig cap with nice combs inside to keep it in place
-soft and nice looking fibres
-pre-styled so minimum to no trimming bangs

Things I disliked
-Felt most of the wigs were very sparse in the wefts used, and it would be easy to accidentally have a weft showing while out and about

I dont really have much to say in terms of a review. Its decent for what it is. I like the puffy sleeves. My only huge issue with it is the buttons are hella annoying to use because of the deep points of the stars. I'm highly considering replacing them myself with normal black round buttons so I'm not struggling forever trying to button them on/off

>>9875301
>https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=564794038847

Mainly bought it for the hair clips. Thats why most of the other wigs I bought were in the same color, so I can use them with various cuts.

I'm not really a fan of how they look as twintails on my head but if I wrap them around and pin them up as buns they are super cute imo. Or you can also use them on the back of your head for a single large bun or high ponytail style.

Look at my post >>9875537 for more details about the wigs

Does yoybuy randomly delete accounts? I'm trying to log into mine and it says my email is not registered with their site, however when I go to make a new account it says my old username is taken.

I never deleted my account, nor did I use another email, and the account itself has only not been in use for a few months. Has this happened to any other anons before?

Petti review ?

>>9875403
>>9875429
Zhongshan will always reply in Chinese, but you can type in English. I used them for about 2 years and I've always typed to them in English.
I switched to JCEX for the past year because of cheaper rates and Zhongshan kept overcharging me on shipping and not putting my packages in the warehouse for ages, but you can also type to JCEX in English while they reply in Chinese.

>>9875666
Forgot to add, one time with Zhongshan we were arguing for ages and not getting anywhere because of misunderstanding issues, and they actually did type to me in English (although it was clear that they used a translation software).

>>9872583
Review the wig please when you get it, anon?

>>9875621
I've only owned one other petti which is the Classical puppets one after the quality declined.

Compared to that one, this one is 10x better. Only thing I slightly dislike is I think the waist is a bit smaller so it doesnt fit over my literal fat ass like the CP one does. I have to wiggle into it from above to put it on. The poof and shape is quite nice.

>>9875621
>>9875970
Chiming in. I've had my AA bell and aline pettis for a year now and they are both still going extremely strong. I've only ever had to layer pettis when I was looking for that fashion show OTT level of poof.

>>9875429
>>9875666
That makes sense. Thank you gulls, I guess I'll keep struggling with them. Just something to deal with for trying to buy and ship weeb shit for cheap.

>>9875915
Will do, might take a while as the hat shop starts taking orders in June again.

I've never ordered from Taobao before, but I've noticed when I go to order stuff from AliExpress, the shipping costs for anything with tracking are ridiculously high ($60+) for my country.
If I go with Taobao using an SS (I'm currently looking at Yoybuy), will I have the same thing to worry about?

>>9876296
Depends on where you live. All shipping is based off weight (or volume if DHL) from a SS. Aliexpress is usually storefronts or sellers individually so they sometimes jack the price up for one item shipping.

That's why the FAQ talks about shitty small orders, etc for taobao. It still CAN be expensive to send one/a few items. The heavier your package is, the more the shipping price "levels" out.

I just got my 9 pairs of shoes order from Yoybuy and I really am not planning on using them again. My whole package came soaked, the cardboard came apart like pulled pork, no wrapping on the shoes so shoe boxes are in the trash, 2 pairs are the wrong color and multiple pairs are actually soaked and deformed, a few have rusted. I wanted to try them once since a friend recommended it to me but I'm sticking to superbuy.

>>9876296
Maybe not use yoybuy, but that's just me.

>>9877809
>whole package came soaked
>multiple pairs soaked and deform

besides two pairs being the wrong color how is any of that Yoybuys fault?

Baby's first Taobao order. I made a shitty small order just to see how everything goes. Hopefully it all works out.

>>9877809
Goddamn, that sounds horrible, anon. I'm sorry.

cute taste, anon! i hope your order goes well!
link to that blue seifuku/sweater thing?

Yoybuy is really awful, do not recommend.

I'm pretty sure they were also selling a pink version, but it's gone now, rip

>>9878256
Which shopping services do you recommend?

Can someone help me? I went through my old SpreeNow wishlist and found this dress; clicking on it just tells me the listing has been removed. I'm having trouble finding even the shop for this. Searching it just gives me other stuff.

>>9878177
Because they didn’t package it correctly? kek

>>9878377
bhiner is okay, superbuy

>>9860004
Have you bought from them before? What's the quality like?

>>9878467
It means it's gone buddy. Like not for sale gone

>>9878679
If it came soaked then someone dropped it in a puddle mate.

>>9878869
wouldn’t be completely soaked if it was just a puddle
for reference packages from taobao are a cardboard box with individual boxes inside wrapped in plastic, and the outside of the boxes are wrapped in plastic and tape as well.

>>9878883
>>9878679
how is that not packaged correctly then? could just be me but that seems like pretty much as much as anyone could reasonably expect? if it's damaged that badly despite all of that, that's some dumbass postal worker leaving it in a puddle overnight or something: pretty much no packaging is gonna hold up to that, no matter how good.

>>9868642
Link to shoes?

>>9879071
Are you daft? Anon is clearly saying that the shoes didn't have the plastic wrappings in there, which is why the shoes got soaked. Shitty SS do this to try and skimp on shipping costs.

Just received both parts of my first taobao order. Everything else is good quality, apart from 10, 18 and 19, and maybe 12. Can give links/reviews of everything.

>>9872583
where is the headdress from pls. thank

>>9879433
could you review 12? they're pieces are so cheap that i'm tempted to get one but it'd be nice to know what the quality is like beforehand.

I want to order a cosplay but it won't be ready until the end of May. If I have it shipped via EMS what is the likelihood that it will arrive in Los Angeles before July? I have only ever used SAL before.

>>9879433
Could you post links for 1, 4, and 17? Could you review 4 too? Thanks!

#13 Is of excellent make, has a lot of weight to it, all the seams are tidy and sturdy. Over all the quality is really high, and the lining underneath makes the dress comfortable to wear. I ordered size M because the measurements were closest to mine, however the bust of the dress is absurdly large around the sides. I'm not extremely well-endowed, but there is at least 4 inches of slack per side. The dress fits everywhere else, so I'm inclined to believe that it might have just been some sort of error at the factory,- it will require me to alter it myself. It's a beautiful dress and very true to the product pictures. The back of the dress is not visible on the sellers website, so I will include a picture of in in natural light. I have very mixed feelings about this dress, perhaps I'll learn to embrace it fullt after alterations.

#4 Is absolutely fantastic. The shape of the cardigan is a little thicker than in the product pictures (which imo looks really cute), it is extremely comfortable and pretty to wear, and is of excellent quality. There isn't anything I don't like about it, and I'm sure you'd love it too.

I'm aware, but I'd still like to at least find the shop/name of this dress.

anyone have a taobao link to this dress or store name?

Wait how do you fuck up t-shirt quality

>>9880689

New thread

>>9880646

My thoughts too. Somehow the printing of the t-shirt has a plastic surface to it, making it very stiff and crinkly. The colors look good but the shirts are very awkward to wear. Three wash cycles improved the situation a bit but I still make crinkling sounds when I wear them. Bizarre.

>>9879433
Can you post links to #7 and #19, thanks!

>>9880161
That's fine with EMS. EMS has, lately, been shipping very fast to CA in general.

I'm in the Bay Area. I had two packages shipped EMS and I got one package in 2 days and my other in 3 days. SO FAST.

I'm losing my fucking mind. I paid freight for 8 items and this is the last updated information I see when I check logistics. I put the provided number onto DHL's website and nothing shows up. I don't know how to contact my courier about this. Did I miss a step? Do I need to confirm receipt for the individual items? Help ;__;

>>9875205
Can you post a pic of the Sakura Coral wig? I'm interested in that particular one but am worried the colour is gonna be more dusty pink.
