To Alice items are good quality?I love most of their stuff but i fear to spend 30-50 € for dress with ship and SS fees to be disappointed by the quality, like wrinkly bedsheet quality cotton, crooked seams, wonky measurements and so on.

Hi anons. I bought a cosplay and it doesn't fit! My SS tried contacting the seller but the seller basically said "if tag says size L then there is no way it shouldn't fit" and proceeded to ignore any subsequent messages, even if I have photographs proving that the item measurements don't correspond to size L. Is this a lost cause?

Just give up anon, and the most cosplays shops use universal charts, so it can be off a few cm, and you're pretty much going through all the struggle. Try selling it's price + a bit of the shipping (and fee if you want) instead of going super for little help.

Damn okay. This seller had different size charts per cosplay though so I don't think it's a universal chart. And the skirt is off by way more than a few cm. Measured flat it was only 33cm (so approx 66cm waist) whereas the size chart states it should fit a 77cm waist. I don't know how the seller can argue that whatever size I received is correct.

are you... trolling? there are a good amount of stores that cater to plus-size people. granted some of the stock images might be the "skinny" version of the clothes, but larger sizes certainly exist.

>>8290284
just google translate the page, search using the terms in the dictionary for plus size, and look for plus size in the shops spreadsheet. there aren't too many, but it's a start. also when searching the term for plus sized fashions there's a filter option to group the search results by shop, so you can find shops that sell a lot of clothes in your size range. there's also usually a filter option at the top for plus size (terms vary, but it'll be something along the lines of "extra yards" or similar).

>> No.8290305

>>8290298
they sure do, but after searching a few times, there aren't really any stores where all the clothes are specifically for heavier people

>>8288775
I love these sweaters. Here's the white one but the pink is exactly the same, just pink. The sweaters aren't super thin or super thick, and I like the ribbed material. It's a little see through so you might want to wear a tank top if that makes you uncomfortable. I tried to show it with the black skirt but as you can see it's not bad. The sleeves are a little short, but not bad. This doesn't go over my boobs, it sits too high up, but I like it this way.

One thing I will suggest: Do not pull the sweater down to show off your cleavage. If you get cleavage while wearing it, great, if you don't great. Pulling it down like I've seen some girls do will rip the top part of the ears off the sweater. This is held by just a few threads and, while sturdy enough, is not meant to be violently pulled.

>>8288798
Thank you! I like worn pictures of taobao stuff but it's pretty rare to see them in cgl threads (and tumblr is all filters. I do it too)

>>8289218
Do you have any low cut shirts? because that's pretty much all this is, expect it has a collar. If you only wear turtlenecks due to cleavage then yeah it may not work for you. There are some mon lily (I think that was it) replicas with a heart cut out right neat the collar bones. That one is cute too but it is not a cleavage cut out. Maybe that would work for you? If I find it I'll link it!

I was buying with YoyBuy (I wasnt on these threads lately so I didn't know the problem about them...) and suddenly, when I paid the shipping, they charged 427,90 $ instead of 42,70 $. I am fucking scared after reading that anon's trouble... My bank doesn't open until monday, can I do something?
Thanks seagulls.


Plus, just to inform you all, I pre-order a dress on Jan. I payed, by PayPal, the full price too. But after months of contacting with YoyBuy, 1000 messages, etc... they must recognize they forgot to buy the dress on the pre-order... and they made excused until now.

Yes, the seller shipped a week ago. I've been waiting for the warehouse confirmation of its arrival ever since.
For most of my items alipay has given about 7 days to confirm receipt and it hasn't been a problem for the items with tracking, they've all arrived within a few days. I'm just not sure what to do since this package/order doesn't have any tracking.

Depends how long you're willing to wait. If you can wait a month or more, cheap SAL shipping could be around $13~20 incl. fees, depending on the weight. EMS starts from around $20 but gets there in 1-2 weeks.

I've placed and received 2 orders with them actually in mid to late April and received my second package last week with no issue or overcharge. It was just as normal and quick, but during purchasing I noticed sometimes my card was automatically declined until I tried again a second time. I never received an overcharge or error charge.

I have used them for a few years now with no issue, and it may be that someone specifically is doing that. That or they are dyslexic or something. It is concerning about the amount of people who are getting odd charges. Reading this, I am super thankful I had no issues with either orders and they were both well over 300+.

How did you pay Yoybuy through Alipay? I don't see it under their payment options.

I have a large group order sitting in their forwarding warehouse (ordered before finding out about all this bs going down). Just waiting for another item to come in before paying international shipping. Hoping not to get overcharged like other anons...but if they do I'm definitely going to get overdraft fees with my current statement ugh.

Would it be worthwhile to message something along the lines of "Please take care to charge the proper amount, etc." to make sure they're more careful (in hinting that I'm aware of overcharge issues)? Or would it be stupid and backfire horribly on me?
I'm a bit scared to look like I'm calling them out, on the off chance they freeze up while I have a bunch of stuff already paid for.

They say it's alipay's mistake, which is possible but weird since they're like the chinese paypal. Alipay doesn't seem to have foreigner customer service to deal with transactions, and if you mail yoybuy about it it will range from "sorry dear, it is alipay mistake we cannot do anything about it" to getting your account blocked (if you insist a lot I guess). Basically, you can either: use prepaid cards, change SS, or contact your credit card bank and flag the transactions as fraud after your order ships so you get a refund for the extra charges.

Personally, I hadn't noticed the overcharge because my card is from my mom's account and yoybuy only messaged me about it 3 days after the fact. They also only refunded part of it, because some was used to pay for my order, but for some reason a lot of the transactions don't show up on the bank transcript on the same day as they're done, and with all the amounts being converted to CAD, it's hard to see if they're (alipay or yoybuy) stealing shit from me or not.

Similar to >>8299791 . I paid for my order with my CC Visa (using Alipay) and everything was ok, but 3 days after that I noticed the overcharge in my account (because the transactions don't appear the same day). I had to contact them and they told me:

"Because of the Alipay system mistake,The transactions happened from:2015-04-24 11:01:00 to 2015-04-25 21:08:31 BeiJing time were overcharged by Alipay,which were not shown in your YOYBUY account.The amounts were shown in YOYBUY account is the same as the amount you want to pay,in another words,the extra money were charged by the Alipay.

To resolve this problem,Alipay has refunded alll the extra money to your credit card which was used to pay for the order,and you will get the refund about 10 days,if you can not get them timely,please contact us."

They refunded me the overcharge some days after that, but the whole situation is not cool at all.

Anons, which shop was it that always has their clothes displayed in front of a red background?
I've been meaning to go back there, but I can't remember the shop's name.
They sold this hoodie

>> No.8302010

I want to get this blouse, but I'm not sure if this is the originating store that made it. Anyone know if this store is legit or if this blouse is actually from another store?

The straw hat and the picnic basket both smelled a lot like straw, but I am assuming it will be fine after some airing out. The basket is a really dark mahogany color, as a warning. The hat was nice and sturdy and came with an extra bow/strawberry clip. I actually sold both of those already.

Not sure which bows you are talking about, but the navy and red ones are quite nice, although the bows aren't as big as I thought they would be. The gloves are also okay, but the nature of the gloves show off a lot of seam along the fingers, so not exactly as delicate-looking as lace ones. They do fit my hands though, which is a big relief, and they can accommodate for longer fingers.

The red ribbon tights are flesh (like peachy beige?) colored and are nice and thick. Can't wait to wear them! The packaging is mostly in Japanese though and is from boomdesign, which is kind of curious.

I just opened another order with them, the last one I did was January of this year (before the CNY rush).

I just paid for the current order, so nothing to review there. The January one went smoothly. Response time is a few hours if it's working hours in China, overnight if it's after office hours (in China).

I've ordered through them (Spreenow) twice now- first time in last fall and again this spring. (My only taobao shopping experiences so far.) I've had everything go very smoothly with them.
This second time when made-to-order stuff was included, they dutifully asked for my confirmation when (I suspect) seller communication was involved, regarding manufacture time and a slight change in final measurements.

So I'm new to all this Taobao stuff, and I'm interested in buying this:

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.314.hi49dK&id=16494675832&ns=1&abbucket=20

Can I get some help with how to order it? I'm specifically with the shopping services spreadsheet. I'd preferably like the cheapest and most reliable but I don't know what the things in shipping methods are, there are so many abbreviations. I'm also confused about the exchange rates. I live in Australia, so the US dollar doesn't apply to me but I'm confused about all the abbreviations. I'm guessing CNY is Chinese Yuan, but what is RMB and SGD?

>> No.8302511

>>8302505
*specifically confused

>> No.8302527

>>8302505
RMB is renmingbi which is the same as chinese yuan
SGD is singapore dollars
if you're confused about exchange rates just google "X Rmb to AUD" and you'll get a rough gauge!

In your opinion, is it better to wait for all the items to arrive at the warehouse before you ask them to ship it to your address? Because some items are taking a ridiculously long time.

Are sites like spreenow / taobaospree still good to use? I'd much prefer to use Paypal over giving my CC info out.

Yeah, the one you linked is the same one I linked. I think the link didn't work because you're stuck on the taiwanese taobao. If you want to switch back to global, just click on pic related.

I notice now that the blouse you were asking about indeed looks different from the infanta one. Maybe they based it on it, but changed it a bit. Don't know how the quality would be.
