It's kinda hard to get traction on any of the subreddits for any of the alt, kawaii, jfashion/cfashion stuff. There's already a taobao subreddit and a handful of kawaii fashion subs that's pretty dead, the only ones that're actually hopping are the subs talking about replicas, and not even jfash replicas at that, normie replicas.

You'd probably have more traction with a tumblr blog, or try an amino group (that's where the younger users seem to have gone). Anything else I think you'd need to advertise pretty often just to get the word out.

How expensive is the mini usually? On Devilinspired it's listed for $18USD but DHL shipping is like 30 bucks (30 day shipping 14 bucks). Is it cheaper via a SS compared to if you use the $14 shipping?

>> No.10308031

>>10308027
The short mini is 69.80 yuan (almost 10 usd) + 8 yuan domestic shipping. It might workout cheaper through a Chinese SS, they could ship it with other methods or as a small package. They usually ask commission over item + domestic shipping but I think it'll probably save you a few bucks if you go with a Chinese based SS.

Weight question:

My SS seems to have been overstating the shipping weight of the packages I have. For example they say the chargeable weight is 39.30kg, but the tracking says it's 37.5kg.

Is this normal? That chargeable weight is a different thing from actual weight?

Glad to see I'm not the only one having issues with taobao. Placed an order for two items in late November, shipped December 4th, rejected by customs on the 9th, went back a forth a few times and tracking currently shows 'Exported directly sealed'. My SS hasn't seen the package since it shipped early December and I haven't seen an update since the 16th. Should I just accept the package as lost and re-order the items? It was just a plain sweater and a ring, so nothing major, but they're gifts for a friend.

A lot of these are more like people closing their hobby etsy. Some of the more serious stores (the ones with ten aliwangwang CS for you to talk to) will remain open. Others only take off for one week, maybe as little as 3 days, not a whole month.

Though, it's a bit of a crapshot as the post service itself always seems to get clogged up, so even if your store is super professional it's likely your SS will tell you it's not worth it to order for the entire month because who knows where your parcel will end up.

Besides which, CNY is a far more involved holiday than Christmas. There's the whole "new year, new look" thing, which is what causes the mail clog-up because everybody is busy buying new clothes, new toys, new furniture or whatever to give their selves/home/pets/cars/etc a makeover. Then the celebration itself goes on for 15 days with a specific activity for each designated day. If you're fairly modern/lazy you could forego them all, if your parents are fairly traditional though, you'd be stuck doing them all.

If you are located in the EU and get hit by customs a lot, you can pick this. Then your package will stealth its way to a warehouse in Amsterdam and then come to you. That way you avoid customs. The tracking number only starts working when the package reaches Amsterdam

Nayrt but I guess Amsterdam is more chill when it comes to customs, especially when the destination is a different EU country.

The Netherlands have less strict taxation when it comes to customs. When the Chinese carier enters the netherlanss they pay a small fee for customs and that's it. That fee is incorporated in the shipping price you pay for the European Packet. This is why you will notice it is more expensive than other shipping options.

And of course, from the Netherlands to every other EU country, there is no customs because we are all in the EU.

I would be concerned. They wouldn't spray entire cities in China, if the Virus would just die after a few hours without a host. It's more likely that it can survive up to a few days under ideal conditions. There is also the possibility of mutation and that it becomes even more resistant.

Taobao, right?

First, find the product with regular search rather than image search. You can copy the listing title into the search bar, or use google translate or something.

When you hover your mouse over one of the search results, orange bars pop up on the bottom of the image. One says "find the same", the other is "find similar".

Self explanatory at this point, "Find the same" will try and find "same" product from different sellers. "find similar" will try and find "similar" products. Neither of them are 100% foolproof (it's only computer AI after all, just look at facebook's shitty algorithm) -- but it's the closest thing to what you're asking.

Packages from asia in general are taking a while to move through the postal system (maybe they're just taking their time to update on tracking apps?) I've got packages from South Korea and Japan that are taking their sweet time. I wouldn't be surprised if the virus is having effects on all of Asia's postal system.

Actually, fuck that. It seems every package from Asia is getting slowed down in the postal system, and i don't live anywhere near Asia.

I can no longer browse Taobao like before. It keeps taking me to a login page. Is there a guide somewhere for navigation?

Stupid question but does anyone know how long it takes for 42agent to process your order now, what with the corona virus going around?

According to their website they returned to work on the 12th. I've been waiting on "order confirmation" for 3 days now, and I'm just antsy as I'm really hoping to get my items in time for an event in a few months.

Looks like half of China is now in quarantine, wouldn't be surprised if they can't confirm things with the shop, or the shop can't ship things out. You could always email them and ask.

They replied to my new order the same day I put it up so there is a high chance they still wait for an answer from the seller.

What's happening in Guangzhou? I thought Wuhan was the one that's being quarantined? My sewing supplies are apparently being sent there to be scanned due to epidemic prevention and control, please be patient, etc etc.

Sorry for not posting the chrome translated version, it messes up the formatting and I can't decide which is worse to post.

No... Hubei, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Nanjing, Zhengzhou and Hangzhou are also on lockdown.

>> No.10349749

Would it be a retarded idea to order something from Taobao or even Ali right now with the outbreak? I'm not worried about infection; I know a lot of these places are in Guangzhou and it's largely locked down and I don't know if I want to wait 4 months or whatever until the quarantine is lifted

Extremely.

I want to order some stuff too, but with everything shut down until ???, Even if my local cons are in July and August, Im paranoid that it might get lost in all of the backorders from January and never ever show up, especially if its Made to Order.

I needed to order some boots but with the shutdown, enviable delays and how long it generally takes for an order to arrive (1-3 months), it's not worth my time to wait instead of scavenging through flea markets, secondhand stores or b/t/s local groups for some boots to scuff up and paint.
