>Some one please help me in regards to the shipping, is it like ebay and you have to pay seprate shipping for each induvidual shop you buy from?
Yup. Often times you pay a flat rate for shipping from shop to SS, so it's advisable to buy as many items as you can from the same shop.

>Also i don't understand, can you pay with paypal?
Some SS allow PayPal. Yoybuy recently ended their contract with them due to PayPal limiting the items their buyers can buy. Don't know if other SS's have or will follow suit.

>are the fee's really that high?
Do you mean the SS fee? If so then yes, it can get that high. Most SS's I've dealt with have a minimum fee then it moves to a percentage. I believe you can cut down the cost the less shops you buy from.

>cheapest payment method?
I mostly use Yoybuy, so I found credit cards are the cheapest method to use. I've heard for really large orders the WU is cheaper.

Anonymous Tue Jan 15 02:54:45 2013 No.6554189

>>6554180
First payment to SS: item cost + shipping to them
Second payment to SS: SS fees + shipping from them to you

It depends on the SS I think. I used Yoybuy when I did my order so I was able to calculestimate the entire cost. I was able to put that much money in my Yoybuy account and then recalculate once things came in and I had the actual weight.

Which SS are you using?

I could help you with it. First you need to pick your SS. The Shopping Services Spreadsheet in >>6554152 will help. There seem to be three main types of shopping services. Those who use web carts, those who use Excel spread sheets, and those who are a 1 to 2 person SS that work through email and im. The last one seems to best best for very specific items, like lolita.

Personally I prefer webcarts. Also, most SS will have a detailed FAQ (with pictures) on how to order from them.

Well since it's your first time, and I would assume you wish to pay through PayPal, I would suggest Bhiner.com.
They use the webcart service and have a 5% fee, and based on the spreadsheet seem right up your alley. I'll link their ordering tutorial below.

Usually what you do is you pick your items and then most SS have a weight estimate page for common items. You would add up the weights of those items and find the cost calculator and fill it in.

Let me check...
Shoulder measurement: hold the tape measure at the base of your neck (where a necklace would lie) and measure to the dent at the end of your shoulder. To find this dent raise your arm slightly.

Though checking their number you may have been correct.
Going by your measurements and theirs, you likely won't fit the top. Their largest size is an XL with the measurements of: XL shoulder: 39 bust: 94 length: 54

Unfortunately, Asian sizes are not kind to plus size girls. There are specialty shops in the spread sheets.

I read the FAQ and everything, but my question is more of a Paypal question than anything else...

I don't have any money in my paypal account, but it is connected to my bank account. Can I still just pay using Paypal, or do I have to wait the 3-4 days to transfer the amount of what I'm buying into my Paypal account?

I want to just use my credit card, but I haven't seen any reputable SS who take them... I'm just a little confused! Or how would I go about using a Bank Transfer for Bhiner? And do they care about licensed/branded items? Because I want some knockoffs...

If someone could shed light on this, I'd be thankful! Been stalking these threads for almost a year now and I'm just now getting the courage to splurge.

Anonymous Tue Jan 15 04:23:45 2013 No.6554308

>>6554306
Paying that way isan eCheck and some SS's may not like that because the time it takes for money to be wired to them is longer. You could ask your SS if they accept them because it probably depends. I have never tried an eCheck. (Only my debit card via Paypal.)

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 15 04:26:15 2013 No.6554312 >>6554306 As long as you have your Paypal linked to your bank or your card you should be good to go. Using a credit/debit card is no problem. I use mine with Yoybuy. Check the SS spread sheet for the high rated ones.

Hm, alright. I do have a debit card attached to my bank account that's linked to Paypal, but not a Paypal card itself.

So even though my Paypal account is at 0, can I still pay using it? Or do I have to wait for the bank to transfer it and be hassled? haha

You should be able to just pay and it takes it out of your account. You should be able to use your bank card, though you may need to go through the security page the bank has.

I use my Chase Visa card and every time I pay Yoybuy I have to go through this Verified by Visa site that Chase offers. Just to give you a heads up if you use your bank card.

yoybuy takes visa and they're fantastic. I use them all the time. I know there's 'warnings' out there, but all of the bad reviews I've managed to find are years old. I've definitely never seen a complaint about them in these threads. They're very fast, easy to use, their agents are friendly, and they ALWAYS tell me when an item was sent incorrectly, and fix the problem.

If your debit card is linked you your Paypal, then that's fine. You don't have to have a Paypal balance to buy things. Debit cards can be used as a 'credit' card with the checking account balance as the limit. I know it seems roundabout because in theory the Debit card and the eCheck should be the same, but the debit card allows businesses to get paid faster. There is also less of a window where someone can scam them.

For the anon who wanted large size Liz Lisa's in the last thread, I couldn't find any but you can try asking some shops to see if they'll do a group order custom size. Most will for over 10 pairs. Alternatively you can ask An*tai*na to see if they'll make you a custom pair, slightly more expensive and quality and comfort not guaranteed.

You guys talked about reaching a certain weight limit where it would just be more reasonable to get EMS than using SAL. Do you guys have an example of that? Like, how heavy should a package be for it to reach that point? And how much ($) would that be about?

One of the pruany anons here! I paid for my stuff and they have finally all arrived and waiting to be weight! The white Rilakkuma-head plushie was out of stock, but pruany was really, REALLY fast to refund it. And I was lucky enough that when I ordered, the cross pattern skirt was out of stock, but when I messaged back and forth with pruany it came back and is now waiting for me!

I'm really surprised and quite pleased with pruany, their customer service has been amazingly fast. They've messaged me immediately if there are any problems (such as something is out of stock, do I want a refund, another colour, what size, more pictures etc.) and my cart has been updating really damn fast.

So far the cost has been:
126 USD for item price + domestic shipping + paypal fee
9.87 USD for service fee (pruany's)

I'm planning on using EMS. And if my calculations have been correct, it should be somewhere around 5-7 kilograms. I've put a little extra on every item when estimating their weight, just so there are no big surprises.

And if anyone wants pictures or reviews or links or anything, I'd be more than happy to give them. You anons have been really awesome and supportive, answering questions, helping with links and sizes and everything.

It really depends... Big can mean (to me) weight, total price, or number of items. I consider my local comms GO as 'big' for all three categories. The last GO was 4 boxes total with each one about 20-25 KG (or at least as big as they allow to ship before splitting into another box, which is around 20-26 kg?) with probably over a hundred items and totaling over 3 grand USD I believe. I think there were at least 10 participants? So in each catagory I would consider 'big' as... over 50 items, or over 20kg, or over 1500 USD. Those (or all three) in my mind would constitute a big order. Our GO host always does DHL on our GOs because at that point it is soooo much better for shipping. Hope this helps.

If the weight of the other half of the order is roughly the same amount, I'd split the packages into halves or thirds.

I'd ask your SS what's the cheapest shipping option with that large of an order but halves/thirds is probably the best bet.

Do taobaoring automatically mark down a package and if so how much?

I emailed them and they replied with

'Sure, how much do you want us to mark? we always mark as 40%-60% of the real value.'

Does the second part mean they always mark down or should I specify the mark down percentage? How much could I get away with asking for a mark down for the UK before it's super fishy?

The seller really doesn't specify, but it's probably that price for 1 item, and they come in packs of 30 if you want to buy 1 pack (so put 30 in your shopping cart). Careful though, it says 'color random', so I'd ask in case you get orange or purple strawberries.

>>6555901
Those pictures look legit, you can usually tell when something is stock or not. Browse using the same keywords to see if the pictures are stolen, and browse the rest of the store to see if the other pictures are in the same style. If you find multiple results using the same stock images, it's often from the same supplier which gives them the images. Read reviews, use your brain, and buy from shops with good reviews and high trust rating. Some shops like coconuts will have specific models or photography styles. Wig shops will usually have a distinctive backdrop or head mannequin.

The best quality wigs for those prices. Great for getting base wigs. Thicker than C.C. Kids but thinner than Fantasy Sheep, smooth fibres and relatively hard to tangle. If you're looking to heavily mod it, buy more than one. I think they also sell bundles of fibers but in limited colors.

T-mall is the same as taobao, just a more official wing. It uses the same cart and payment system so you'll be fine ordering together with your SS. T-mall shops are connected to the taobao organisation and you can use taobao coins which you get from purchases there (or your SS can).

Yes, I accidentally clicked the wrong one and asked them to change it repeatedly- they haven't. (clicked SAL thinking it was Singapore Airmail)
One of the cutsews I ordered turned out to be out of stock AFTER I had paid them for it, so I asked them to get a different one to replace it, and they haven't.

I think getting my money back for unacceptable service is completely reasonable.

>>6556715
I assumed they'd send it with Singapore Airmail because I'd asked them to, and we'd had a few exchanges since, so they'd obviously read the message. They were the ones who warned me that SAL might take a long time, so that's when I realised I'd clicked the wrong one and asked them to change it. I have no idea why they haven't.

"paying for service" really has it's merits

Basically the thing with small orders is that most SS have a minimum fee, so if your order is below it you are paying like extra service fee for no reason, and if you work out the cost after shipping, you won't have saved much money for all the effort that goes into ordering Taobao stuff as opposed to walking into your local dollar store or something

But seriously it's your money, if that's how you want to spend it then okay

Boots:

I was really surprised by how good the quality was on these. They're NICE, sturdy boots. Not super thick, but I'm so happy with them.
One thing to keep in mind: When you order these, plug in your size or the equivalent the seller (cm, european sizes, etc) has but also leave a note in whatever little category your SS has with your U.S. size.
Bhiner messaged me after talking to the seller and advised that I size down one, from about a U.S. 8 to U.S. 7. I was like "yo, that might be way too small. I'm definitely at least a 7 1/2" and they spoke to the seller again and said "oh, you could even go down one size more". I went down only one size and the boots are a little big on me. Next time I'm doing exactly what the seller advises.

one spo dress:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17723271474&spm=2014.12478257.0.0

Really cute! Good fabric! Elastic at the waist so I imagine this stretches pretty well. I'm pretty small (5'0", 98-100), but I don't have a super defined waist so it makes me look a little bit wider? Bam, easily fixed with a belt. I'm going to get a bow belt to mimic the bow the dress comes with.
Brown Skirt (wanted this in red so bad):
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.7265276-1302758413.1.Qknpn2&id=16279389828
Looks just like the picture, maybe a little shinier than the one in my collage, but there are a ton of pictures on the page where it looks like that. SHORTER than I expected, so taller people may have a problem.
Pink Skirt:

honestly i've ordered from different stores and as long as the rating is in the crowns, the wigs are usually great. I've even got wigs from diamond stores that were lovely.

my group's last order had 10 wigs from various stores, all but 2 were fantastic. One was from a 4 diamond store with very obviously photoshopped pics (not sure why the girl who picked it didn't notice), and one was from a store we got 2 other wigs from, both of which were great. That store had also been recommended by multiple english speaking people, so not sure what happened with that one.

basically i'm saying just use your judgement.

SEA SHIPPING Anonymous Thu Jan 17 13:59:31 2013 No.6559482

When I looked up Taobao and SEA shipping, Toabaoring showed up. I've made 3 orders with them via SAL. They were small orders (about $1,000-$1,500 each). When I say small I mean small items like clothing and decorations.

I'm thinking about buying furniture (not like... little lamps but like a couch and maybe a bed). Does anyone have any experience using SEA shipping with them? I know you have to contact them about using SEA because it's not one of their shipping options unless your order is over 50kg (I believe that is the least weight).

Guys I made my Taobaoring order in December, and not all items have arrived yet. I've getting a few custom made dresses, and I know they said it'd take 3 weeks to make. Well I'm just scared not everything will arrive because I'm using SAL shipping and I don't want to split up my order to ship the stuff BEFORE CNY (so those 18 days Taobaoring doesn't work, I might be getting my package soon), and then have them ship the other dresses that might arrive AFTER CNY. What do you guys think? Is that cost efficient to split up the order?

>10 lolita dresses
Assuming you buy them from nicer places such as infanta/kidsyoyo/etc., 75-100 USD - 1000
>4 pairs of lolita shoes
Shoes usually go for around 250 yuan, so 40 - 160
>5 lolita purses
loris' purses are about 100 yuan each so - 75
>12 wigs
going to go with about 100 yuan for each wig as well - 190

so about 1,500
of course you can find cheaper stuff but thats my estimate

I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and placing an order, but even though I've read the FAQ I'm still unsure of a bunch of things, so please excuse my overall retardedness.

Really the only thing I want is this skirt in maroon:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.3-5393692708.3.q5dwwt&id=20375408375

From lurking these threads I've learned that I should be ordering a buttload of stuff to make the shipping worthwhile, but from what I can tell from google translate, this listing is a pre-order that ends on the 20th. Is that enough time to go through Taobaospree and order it? Is there also a way I can order the skirt now so I can get in on the preorder, and then add more stuff like wigs and whatnot later?

I'm sorry for the noob questions, but I have yet to pop my taobao cherry so I'm a little nervous.

Why Taobaospree? They're so much more expensive than Taobaoring, but your choice.

What are you unsure of? I'm sitting in my computer science class at university and I can answer a handfull of questions. I don't know much about Taobaospree other than they're more expensive than fuck.

You can ask Taobaoring to order that item now, and you can DEFINITELY order more items later. Just make sure in the cart you confirm that order and in the notes, add that it's a preorder and you want it ordered now because it ends on the 20th. Taobaoring is very good at responding and quick at it!

Also, with Taobaoring - what I did with pre-orders or "limited stock" items is I had a cart with these items, confirmed them immediately (because I know I really wanted it), paid them ASAP when you get the invoice.

And then make a new cart and take as ,much fucking time as you want adding other things!

Don't be sorry and your questions aren't nooby. But really, go with Taobaoring.
They don't use messy Excel or other spreadsheets.
You have a "cart" system like eBay and you can confirm your order once you're done adding that one skirt.

You can definitely make a new skirt (it will be under a new order), and ask them to combine the orders! It's just that you wanted that skirt first because you wanted it before the pre-order ends.

Also, just so you know - I made 5 orders and got them all combined with Taobaoring.
My first order was a bunch of pre-orders.
And the other 4 were things that I kept adding on.

Yes, I've read some things about the EMS lies.
I've seen some good posts about it.
The 50% off of EMS that Taobaonow and other SS's use are a load of shit.
Really, SAL is going to be cheaper.
AIR method (if you want to spend double or even triple the amount of money that you would be using with EMS), gets you items faster.
Air is faster than EMS.
All of my EMS (it's supposed to be express but takes almost 2 weeks to arrive, whereas AIR takes only one week).

But the #% off of EMS is a load of shit.

SAL is the ultimate cheapest.

Use Taobaoring. You won't be disappointed.

Unless something gets lost or seized from Chinese customs in Beijing.

Someone linked me to Taobaospree in the dream dress thread and I didn't know any better, but I'll definitely go with Taobaoring instead. Thank you guys so much! I guess I'll go ahead and fumble my way through placing the order, and I'll be back if I have more questions. Would I just tell them that I want to place more orders, and then they'll hold onto the skirt until I've said "okay, that's all I want," and then ship it all? The skirt won't be in til March.

I'm not sure about risking Taobaoring at the moment because of how much backlog they seemed to have over Christmas/new years, they may miss your pre-order
They have like a webchat thing that you can try asking them about the order and stressing that it's preorder by the 20th

You don't need to tell them when you order the skirt that you want to order more items.
Just make sure you select SAL (if you care about being it cheapest).

Just put that skirt in a new cart (make sure you're signed in or register if you don't have an account already). And then confirm it once you make sure the size/color/quatity.
You want to confirm it ASAP.
Then by tomorrow Taobaoring will have confirmed the order and give you payment methods for you to pay.
You want to pay ASAP because then they will order the skirt.

Then, after that's all done, you can make as many new carts with items as you want and tell them to conbine everything

I'd say switch, I used Bhiner a while back and I fucking hate them.
They confirmed all my stuff was in stock and ordered it, then about 2 months later 80% of my stuff was refunded for being out of stock, they kept giving me 'tickets' to order stuff under a certain amount without their fees but they never worked.
When I asked them about it they just gave me a broken English response. Also two of my items had pictures taken and then just before they shipped it out they refunded me for the items and I never got them, they just told me the item was out of stock?
Also they don't have SAL, they're cheapest shipping option isn't that cheap.

It doesn't seem to list any info, but the model is very skinny, so unless you are skinny, this will probably not look as cute and dainty as it does on her.
generally, one size stuff like this is only suitable for a US/EU XS or S, maybe M if you are flat chested and it has lots of stretch but don't count on it.
The cat print will probably also look warped if you have large boobs.
Maybe you can try to find the same sweater in another shop that does list the measurements??
