Has anyone ever bought wigs from here?

I'm interested in the blonde wig but I want to be reassured that the quality won't be shit

>> No.6646276

I have. Quality is ok, pretty soft and decently thick, though a bit shiny.

I know I could just use a shopping service but I still haven't found one that's cheaper than an eBay reseller. It might be more economic to make a group order but it's slow to organize one and I don't know anybody close to me that's interested atm (I'm from Europe, btw).

Are there any ebay stores selling these types of wigs in the US? I just don't like waiting more than a few days for shipping.

>> No.6649230

Ugh come on. Taobao can be quite expensive in the end for some of us.

Whenever I buy from taobao, shipping is always costing more than the cost of the items alone, and I don't even take custom charges (that conveniently charge 40% on the total price) into account. Now Ebay sellers charge a little more than taobao because they're basically SS too but since they buy in bulk the shipping is usually free.

And buying & paying with ebay in maybe 2min is way more convenient than contacting a SS, paying, waiting for the proof pics, paying a second time & getting your items.

Just got this in the mail from Ebay. It was $11.99 and free shipping worldwide. Really good for the price, but it was a bit shorter than pictured. More around bust length. Also it wasn't very shiny so I really like it.

1.) You're buying too little
2.) You're not using SAL shipping.

If you are using Taobaospree, Taobaonow, Taobaoagent, Bhiner or Obook, then forget it. None of those offer SAL shipping (the cheapest shipping).

i.e. my first order was with Taobaospree. They had 2 shipping methods: AIR and EMS. My order was just a few pairs of shoes. Shipping ended up (at the cheapest method) over $100 when I paid less than $50 for my order. This is why I don't use EMS/AIR anymore. I only go for agents that have SAL.
