I got them to fill the form out again with my mobile number, so hopefully it'll clear things up. Unfortunately, I can't delete the account and make a new one until this is all fixed. They clarified why they locked it down when I called: my balance was 'too high'. They're sitting almost $2000 in sales and funds transfers that cleared/came through all at once, so I think they must have assumed I was some kind of scammer.

Furniture anon probably takes the cake on that.

Our comm's most recent GO was something like 168 pounds and 8 packages or something?

If you're asking just ONE package that's harder because EMS has a threshold of like... maybe 20 pounds before they split them up. DHL is better for super heavy packages because it's done by volume and not weight, but most people i've seen don't use DHL here. Not sure on SAL threshold. Personally I've only had 2 EMS packages for one order with a total of... 26kg I think

Paypal is really garbage. I recently moved out of the country to go to grad school, and it's impossible to change the country that you have listed on paypal, even if you request it. So I called them up, explained the situation and then even opened a new accountfor the country I am in with the representative and when I tried transferring money over they froze my account due to "money laundering". I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with them and I told them I would never use their service again, so when I want to buy things with paypal I give my friend money and use her account when we hang out.

For the anon worried about getting those fake thigh highs.

I have a 24" circumference for the fattest part of my thigh. My inseam is about 30". Measuring around my butt is about 41" though I'm not sure how straight my tape measure was when I measured that. They fit me fine but look like OTKs rather than thigh highs. I'm 5'4" for reference.

Ignore the black part peeking out of the skirt. Those are just biker shorts in the off chance the skirt flies up to show my underwear under the tights.

Just paid for shipping for all my stuff! $130 for SAL w/TBR. Those shoes killed me... whenever I make a taobao order I always say "no shoes this time they will fuck up your shipping, don't do it" but then I *always* find ONE PAIR that I really really want, so I'm like, "why not? One pair won't kill me, in fact I could probably get two..."

And four days later... "you know what, I might as well get 3 or 4 pairs since I've already got some shoes in here anyway..."

I'm wearing my fake thigh highs from taobao in this photo. I'm pretty chubs and they fit fine, they're definitely the most comfortable tights I've ever gotten from taobao.

I've always wondered about 'VIP' pricing on some Taobao listings. Like, how the hell do you find out what that VIP price is? Would your SS even tell you what it is? I know my SS probably made some extra off me because I'd just put the regular price down because I didn't know.

VIP pricing is based off tiers. I asked Celestial Delinquent about her VIP status with CP and she said that there are different tiers and she is in one of the lowest ones.
So the only way to know is contacting the seller but you won't be able to without the SS so...yep.

Buying just one thing isn't really economical because of how expensive shipping is. I recommend trying to find a few more things you want.

As far as services go, do you care if there's a cart? Do you want to be able to ship SAL (generally the cheapest method)? Do you need to be able to use paypal?

I personally use Taobaospree if that helps any.

Well, after replacing a few 'sold out' things and adding more crap on, I'm happy with my order. I've gotten quite a bit of stuff in Bhiner, just waiting on a few items now.

Things I think I'm going to be disappointed with based on the pictures so far:
>The scarf/shawl thing
>All three wigs... will see -- turquoise one mainly because I think the color will be much darker than what I thought I'd get
>The shorts with the stars on the pocket (not a big deal, though)

I heard some people say that they've ordered things like the horn clips before and only gotten '1' (opposed to a pair); so I ordered two of everything like that, just in case. So by the looks of it I have some extra cat ears/horn clips, haha.

I really hope all my rilakkuma stuff doesn't get fucked over my chinese customs or something, though... I live in Canada so I don't think there'll be any problems with customs here, but that's almost the entire of my order right there (I have a bunch more I'm waiting on).

>> No.6845647

I haven't but what I can tell you, they're probably similar to the cheap ones you see in those carts in the middle of the mall (at least in more Asian areas).

If you've ever bought from Amazon, eBay, or anywhere else that ships from China, it's going to be the same quality.

The plasticy kinds feel like they won't last that long since it's just rubber plastic. Potentially ripping over time.
The hard cases are fine. They probably would crack/break if they fell from a significant height.

For those of you wondering about this dress.

It's... very cheap. I'm not exactly a designer seamstress and I can tell its cheap. The cloth feels like very thin cotton that wrinkles easily when I ball it up, seams are quite irregular, and the finishing on the seams is not well done in places so you can see where it will unravel. Skirt isn't lined, which definitely is opposite of what they described. It fits a little funny on me - straight bodice, not totally flattering. Luckily I can cinch it back with the tie. If you guys want detail pictures, I can provide once I charge up my good camera.

As an aside, it also has a really odd plasticky smell.

I have to admit though, I think it looks good. I'd still wear it outside the house, just not for meets or very formal events.

(4?/10 Quality is definitely below average, even compared to the other taobao shit I bought. I don't think this will last very long.)

Basically dresses that could work more casually rather than how elaborate lolita is but not like otome? Ok I don't think I made any sense, I've tried a combination of search terms with no luck.

I attached some pictures of the Homu cosplay. I actually like that the fit is pretty spot on and for the most part, pretty nice quality. The only thing (and I added the picture there for you to see) is that the white trim in the black undershirt frays easily and looked initially a little sloppy. I'm thinking of putting fray check on it, but it's sewn well to the point where I'm not concerned about it falling apart.

Everything else is pretty nice. As you can tell, the details are made of a pleathery texture, and is isn't overtly shiny or stands out.

I hope this helps! I did like their service. It took about 30 days to have it sent, and they handled the measurements pretty well.

>>6846478
I'll do a separate review of the wig with a some photographs.

For the Soul Gems:
They're nice, really pretty, and made of a mildly pliable plastic material. It's also delicate. The color of the gold and the gem is really nice.

The makeup:
The eyeliners are my favorite. I purchased one for my mom before and she and I lvoe them because of the softer kohl and how easy and smooth they are to apply. The powder is also really nice! The white eyeshadow hasnt been used yet, but it looks nice. The concealer also works nicely for me, and has a nice blending ability to it. I actually have quite liked the makeup from Rain Cos so far, I haven't had any issues.

>>6846489
The curly wig actually isn't as identical in color to the image. Yoybuy actually photographed it for me when it first arrived because even they were convinced that they had sent a darker color wig. The real wig is a bit more maple brown, but in the light has a somewhat of a similar color. The overall wig aren't as full as the picture unless you probably tease them, which I have yet to do. It tangles like any other ordinary wig. Overall though the wig is better than your average fashion wig and doesn't look too overly shiny or anything like that. I actually like it a lot despite the color difference.

Please forgive the horrible pictures, but the Sailormoon wig when I opened it looked nice. The buns were pretty messy as they are attached to the wig. You can fix them quite a bit to look like the picture however and the bands are also pretty easy to start fixing and fiddling with. The long tails are actually really nice and not too thick but not too thin, and have nicely done curls along the bottom that are pretty accurate.

I have a 22" head, and this wig is a really snug fit. This could be also due to my hair's thickness and quantity, but I actually fit a wide variety of wigs. The tricky part about this one is the weight of the buns with the hairline makes it much more snug, so I don't reccomend it for people with larger heads or want a wig that's not super tight on them. Other TSN wigs however are actually really full size, so it's likely that this snugness is mostly due to the custom style of the wig.

Since I have naturally thick dark hair, the one tricky thing about this wig is that it has a high hairline along the back, so there's a small tuff of my hair even with a wig cap, that tends to stick out. I've had another Sailormoon wig do this before, and from what I know, it's pretty common to have the higher hairline to look more accurate to her. It's a bit of a discomfort in some ways, but I'm looking to how to get it to cover the back somehow.

I absolutely love the color, because it's a little bit better in color than the picture. I was worried that it was going to be too bright, but it's actually near identical to the original Five Wits Sailormoon wig's color I had previously.

I reccommend the wig actually, since it can be styled and the fibers are pretty nice! I caution people with larger heads or would rather prefer more comfortable versions where the odango buns are detatchable.

I think Mia can be fine with an a-line too. It has a slight bell shape near the top (I believe it looks like it) which would make a bell shaped a bit better but otherwise it doesn't seem like it'd do that petti problem other loli clothes have if you were to use an a-line.

Went through DHL with Bhiner, it took them 2 days to give it to DHL, but it took DHL like 4 days to get it here to the US west coast. Very nice.

This is my first order and I actually like Bhiner pretty well. They're not super fast, but they're curious and they satisfy my need to check for status updates everyday without having to bother someone constantly.

I used TBS for MC though, and they were lightning fast and shipping out pretty quickly. I think I got my dress in 2 weeks from start to finish.

Sure thing!

The R-Series dress (Odette Mansion) is one of the best things out of my order. The color is gorgeous (and handily perfectly matches MC's headbands) and the cloth is this really interesting soft suede, but not too heavy. I got an M since I heard OM runs a bit small which ended up being right on the money, plus there's well hidden shirring in the back. There's also two ties in the back which makes doing it up a little complicated, but not too bad.
The embroidery is also very nice, and the pearl details are sewn on well, plus it's fully lined so it won't rub off on lighter colored blouses. All in all it's wonderful, I just need to hurry up and get a petti for it.

Also, I'm 5'7" and it hits me right at the knees, so good length too.

As for the dress (I'm assuming you mean the pink one) it doesn't get quite as good of a review. Although it looks really nice on the model, it's very nightgown-y in person. The main cinch part hits me right under the bust, which isn't very flattering for me, but the second from the bottom tier (the one that's above the bow logo in the stock pic, right before it goes to the darker pink) is for some reason lined with elastic. So the whole dress has a really bizarre silhouette, out at the bust, in under the bust, out at the hips, and in again right below the knee. The colors also aren't as nice as the ones in the picture, and the pearls are sewn on pretty haphazardly.
It's pretty comfortable to just hang around in though, but I'm not sure what to do with it to make it wearable in public.

Honestly the white isn't much better than the pink. The skirt is nowhere near as full as the sample pic and the bodice is just...kinda weird and bad looking. It also suffers from nightgown syndrome.

>>6848110

They were both pretty cheap ($5 each I think?) and I've got a bit of a love hate relationship with them. I measured myself multiple times and decided to go a size up with both of them and they still fit me like a glove. Though by glove I mean a denim glove that looks fantastic if you're standing/walking, but makes it really hard to sit down and bend over. That and the button on the fly of the upper pair has already broken.

They make my ass look fantastic though, and they don't muffin top my waist at all either.

So out of the two blouses I got, I actually like Tea Party's quite a bit more than White Moon's. I got a medium and it fits quite well, even without doing up the back ties. It's labeled as off-white and looks pretty off-white in their picture, but it's really white with faint off-white lace. It doesn't clash or anything though and looks quite nice.
All the buttons are little roses (I tried to get a close up) and the waist ties are removable, as is the bow which has a pin attached to the back. I'm very happy with it all and all.

Bonus info, the top pic has (left to right) Odette Mansion, the semi-terribad pink dress, terribad white dress, White Moon blouse, and Tea Party Blouse.

I ordered 15 metal cat hairbands (10 pearl ones and 5 crystal ones.) Half of the pearl ones had at least one pearl that needed to be re-glued to the hairband. Only 1 of the 5 crystal ones had a crystal that needs to be reattached, so those apparently fare a little better. All in all they're great for the price though and I don't mind fixing them.

Now the cardigans/boleros I'm pretty on the fence about.
On one hand, they're just as cute as the pics and the colors are spot on. However, they're really big/baggy. I haven't really figured out what I can wear them with since everything I've tried so far makes it looks like I'm a rectangle from the waist up.

Sorry for the terrible photos, but here are the shoes! I haven't had a chance to try on the tights yet, It'll probably have to wait until after exams.

These shoes are super cute and very comfortable, I wore them all day and since they're just kitten heels my feet didn't hurt at al even though I don't ever wear heels. Quality wise they look nice on the outside, the inside is a little odd color wise but they hold up fine as far as I know. They do scuff pretty easily, though. This was one day of wear and although one was due to me being stupid, I still feel like I have to be very careful not to bump anything when wearing them. Also as you can see in the picture you can kind of see the glue on the bows but it's not noticeable unless someone is laying on the ground looking at your shoes or something.

Even with the flaws I still love them and got many compliments on them, so I say go for it if you were considering!

Ohh the short blue SK is the one that I should be getting next week if EMS would hurry. I'm considering getting the red SK as well though.

Don't worry about it not working with lolita, with the growth of classic, tea length dresses are getting pretty popular. Just make sure your petti has some oomph.

Oh geez, they used elastic thread? That really sucks.

First a horrible dress, then elastic thread. Some sort of sadist taobao store.

Though the white dress doesn't have elastic thread, it just looks terrible.

Might just leave it for otome if it fits and get the other for classic. Hopefully. Still not sure yet because I'm afraid I'll blow all my money and then KL will come out with something new and even better.

Hahaha I kinda want to be sadistic and ask for worn pictures. The dresses sound like depressing disasters.

Ahaha KL probably wont have anything new for a month or two since they're trying to get the Phantom dresses made.

The blue SK is only available in an L right now, so I hope the ivory one fits.

There is no sitting cutely on the stairs, or twirling around in a happy-go-lucky dress.
Only maternity-styled, life in the time of the black death, poorly made dresses. And sadness.

I already have a similar nice white dress so I have no qualms with tossing it to goodwill, but man, I really wish there was something I could do with the pink one.

Guess I'll hang on to it for now. Glad I've warned some anons though, and I know myself not to go for the chiffon maxi dresses anymore.

Thought of that, but I won't have the money to get the dress and blouse for a few weeks.

I'm not sure how receptive most SSs are to "Hey, I want to get this thing. Can you give me lots of info on this thing but lol I can't pay for a while?"

Do any SSs do any sort of payment plan? I supposed I could always be a terrible person and use my credit card.

I think they look pretty cute! Maybe you can use them for a mori or CPK kinda look, layer it a bit more and it doesn't matter how baggy they are!

Differences in proportion ruined the pink dress. Model has a shorter torso and about 5 inches less leg.

Maybe seperating it into a tunic and skirt would help. The skirt part could then hit at just above the knee which would be flattering. Wear the tunic with something else.


I must think really hard about the white nightgown looking thing. Not at all sure how to make that into anything but a nightgown...

depends on how much poof you want and what dress you're wearing it under (why do we have to explain this every time someone asks about petticoats?)

Yes, pushing it. You can always ask your SS to ask DC how much a custom job will run. It's usually 2-4weeks with them.

The poof doesn't matter much as long as it looks good and I'll be wearing it under several dresses? I'm just looking if anyone has any recommendations, if I needed a petti for a specific dress then I'd obviously provide more details?

>> No.6849021

>>6849018
? The poof matters 100%.... Their a-lines are priced because of fucking volume of fabric (aka to give more poof). Are you retarded?

Some people like medium, some people like more, the higher priced ones have more poof and you're saying you want to buy the higher priced one, but you're asking for recommendations, which makes it sound like you don't know what you're talking about or what you want

>> No.6849023

>>6849018
>>6849021
I mean, the recommendations would be objectively based on the amount of volume each person prefers, so what you need to tell us is how much you personally like, then we can give recommendations, and I'm not even sure why the hell I needed to explain that, lol

As for dresses... plenty of people buy the wrong shape petti for their dress (or don't know which shape to buy for a dress), and I assumed you were a newfag based on the lack of volume preference and information, which is why i asked about which dress.

I'm pretty sure you meant the top link, but if you were looking for the bottom one there's plenty more if you search 'cat ears' as I think it says that listing is sold out now? the seller might have more in their shop
