I'm doing a small taobao order, 6 items, and the shipping is more than the cost of the items.
Why do I feel like this is becoming more and more expensive?
I used to come to taobao for cheap stuff, now the shipping is making it pointless?

Is this dress a pre-orders or is the full price 288 before August?

Yes you can, but you can only put up to 20 packages (not items) in one order and max 20kg.

I can talk to the shopkeepers myself so I definitely vastly prefer it over shopping services because it's cheaper and they take CNY (I live in Australia so dealing with shopping services that only take USD would be hell).

Yup, $96.90 total.

I don't know why they felt the need to type out the maths behind it.
Basically, they deducted some amount from your balance and then deducted your balance from the total price.

>You had a balance of $122.06.
>They deducted $121.19 for the items.
>Leaving your balance at $0.87c.
>Shipping is $96.3.
>They deduct your balance from the shipping, making it $95.43.
>They want to charge you $1.47 for something.
>They add that onto your shipping, making it $96.90

I hope that that makes some sense.

It's possible, but I don't think so, they've pulled this before and when I order again and ask them to wait, the order goes fine. Somehow, they think that if the seller is offline for one day (or just a few hours), they'll never come back and I need my stuff refunded. They might also say that when they're actually blacklisted from a store (seems they can't order from 'miss piggy', the store with mini crowns).

Idk if anyone will remember, I posted my taobao order ( >>8336999 ) over a month ago and was asked to review these shoes when I got them.

I've never written a review before, so this is most likely not going to be a very good one. If you have any questions feel free to ask them.
I guess I'll start with the fit, I just bought my regular size and they fit perfectly on me. One thing pretty weird about them I will say, is that you'd expect them to be like wedges, but for me at least, they were a lot more like walking in really high heels. I don't feel like I'm going to fall in them at all, but they are just as uncomfortable as walking in heels. This could change after I walk in them more though, I just walked around my house for a bit in them. They also seem to be well made/sturdy, I even tried pulling at the bunnies and they didn't budge at all.

To the anon who was wondering if they were knockoffs, they definitely are. They say, "Liz Lisa," on the inside, lol.

Here's the link if anyone wants it:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.142.W3Mf52&id=39851700587&ns=1&abbucket=5#detail
I picked out the "light blue." There's also a "dark blue," but I think both of them are the exact same but have different patterns on the bottom. Mine are exactly like the ones Dakota has and have a white background with a black star pattern on them. I think the dark blue ones have a red star pattern on them.

Spreenow is really prompt, pieces of my order is still arriving to their warehouse, but they've always answered my questions really fast, usually as soon as the hours on their live chat say. They reviewed my order, and placed it really fast, all in the same day in fact (and I ordered 17 items). The quality checking doesn't take long at all (for my items that have arrived at their warehouse so far, they took 1-2 business days to arrive and they checked them as soon as they did), and I believe they do offer express domestic shipping and DHL. And if you tell them you need your stuff sooner, I'm sure they'll be happy to help, the customer service has been pretty amazing for me so far.

Gokotai (Sorry if my hand looks weird in the pic) is actually really nice. In general that store is super nice with their wigs. They're thick and pretty true to the color. For Gokotai it's like a hint of yellow so it's pretty light cream. They try to make it come pre-styled but nonetheless Krul and Gokotai need some work.

Honoka, the only gripe I have with it is the bun. It's like, you have to tie it or something? I"m not sure on that. I'm still trying to figure it out. But the wig quality is nice. The bun, I might need to spray it to make it stay the way it is.

The cosplay itself actually fits pretty snug. The zipper is on the side and the all the bows, the ones on the cosplay itself and on the neck are safety pinned. Definitely shorter than I initially thought. I chose this particular one because I really liked the open back part of it, and I think it's pretty accurate to the anime? I might be wrong. Really hard to find a bra that'll fit it though.

Boots are pretty snug too. They were custom order so I just had to tell them the calf circumference, height and shoe size so they fit pretty well for me. Just really weird to try to bend my knee since it clashes with the boots.

This cosplay was the weird one. I wasn't sure how to feel about the stock images because the lighter blue looked really bright, and since TBR ups the contrast on their photos, I was really concerned. Though, it's a pretty muted color which is really good actually.

All the designs on the outfit itself show up pretty well too, nothing is faded. I think I screwed something up on the shoulder measurement? So the thing doesn't close properly but I think I can fix that pretty easily. One thing I hadn't expected was that the sleeves were sewn onto the base of the costume itself. Gives one hell of a time to get it on honestly.

The leg warmers aren't something they ask for measurements. So it's slightly tight but not really tight, it would be a problem with someone with thicker legs. Can't really say much bad about this. It's the typical cosplay that has the obi velcroed and the bows safety pinned.

Wholesale, when I want to buy a shitton of one product.

>AliExpress
When I want to buy only a couple items and have them shipped to be directly. Since international shipping is often included and the site is more foreign friendly, it can be more expensive if you're planning on buying multiple items.

>TMall/Taobao
TMall is a part of Taobao, but only registered sellers can sell on TMall so I guess it can be more 'legit'. I use it when I want to buy multiple items, although not necessarily the same items. Most sellers do not ship internationally.

I use it when I want to buy legitimate Japanese goods such as kimono accessories and such. It tends to be more expensive than Taobao though. Some sellers ship internationally, others require a proxy.

submitted this order many threads ago, and it came in last week. I was the anon who said their order cost only $25 to ship SAL; it turned out I had accidentally selected surface.
>pay shipping charge
>notice immediately after paying that it actually said surface, not SAL as I had thought
>email TBR asking if they could recalculate the charge
>no response
>send another email after a day, again no response
>3 days later, shipment confirmation
>TBR emails me back hours after the shipment email: "sorry we just sent out the package today, nothing we can do about it now!"
>mfw

that was aggravating, especially given that they also consistently took 2-3 days to get back to me after my initial order and payment. I'm jelly of the anons who seem to be able to catch them when they're around and get responses within hours, but at any rate I can't afford any TB orders for a while anyway.

general review: everything is as expected given the low prices I paid. the only things I don't like are the skirt with the stripes, as the ribbon is really shit and shiny and looks wrinkly due to the pleating, and the socks, which are a really odd, visibly chunky knit, which isn't that noticeable when you wear them like legwarmers, but they aren't all that soft. sweaters are decently thick and loose (but I'm petite), some of the ties are weirdly short and look a bit awkward even on blouses because they fit almost like chokers.

I can do detailed reviews/detail shots if anyone wants.

Deets on black seifuku please? And does it come in a navy color?

>> No.8486131

>>8486082
if you check the link, there's a navy version, and photos of it as well.

I bought the top, skirt, and scarf set. the scarf was a long rectangular white strip; I was under the impression it would be red (the description at the time said that while all the options said "white scarf" the included scarf would be red), and it's about as shiny as you would expect.

the material of the seifuku itself is basically polycotton, pretty much bodyline-tier -- ever so slightly static-y when ironed and it feels stiflingly warm when it's hot out. the top has a well-hidden side zipper and the modesty panel-thing is attached with buttons rather than snaps or velcro, which is a nice touch. the white ribbon detail is quite possibly the same ribbon that's used on the skirt with the two stripes, as it's pretty shiny.

skirt is pretty much identical to the other three skirts I bought in terms of construction and material, so if you've ever bought any of those, it's the exact same. all it has is a button and a zipper, no elastic anywhere, so be sure to consider whether you'll be tucking in your blouses when you look at measurements. I have yet to wash the skirt so I can't say anything about the pleats holding, but I have ironed it and can say they come out easily with an iron.

Hey gulls, after months of stalking these threads I'm gething ready to put together babby's first taobao order, hopefully the first step in revitalizing my shitty wardrobe. I'm pretty sure I'm going with either taobaotrends or taobaoring as they seem to be getting the best reviews. I'be never used an SS before so I hope I don't fuck it up somehow.

I'm wondering how often you find that an item you want to buy is sold out? I'm buying clothes for semi professional normie wear, so like, white blouses, skirts, cardigans, oxfords etc. I'm just worried that I'm going to spend weeks getting an order together only to find most of it is sold out. Has this happened to anyone? There's plenty of stuff from like, two seasons ago that I want. Am I likely to find its no longer available?

Sorry for dumb newb questions. Thanks in advance to anybody that responds. Also general thanks to all the gulls that posts their orders, link to items, update the spreadsheets and are just really helpful in general. You all are awesome.

>> No.8486892

>>8486318
if you check the description on the regular, non-international taobao page, it says that only people who have paid the initial deposit should pay from that page, and that the final balance is due on august 1. it says something about accepting orders for the full amount back in june, but I could be missing something... so if you really want the dress I'd have your SS ask about it. it says the exact same thing for the other two links as well.

>>8486625
p sure that if you're searching just "curtains" (窗帘) then what you'll be getting are actual curtains you just need to put on a curtain rod. if you add "diy fabric" (diy布料) to curtains, then you'll be getting fabric to make your own, and the item previews generally look like pieces of cloth rather than something hanging directly in front of a window.

>>8486673
if the stuff you want has been up for that long, chances are it'll still be in stock. sellers have to go in and manually change the number of stock they have, so if it's been a while they've had plenty of time to mark something as sold out.

unless it's a ridiculous clearance sale or a brand new release in a niche fashion with low stock (like indie lolita), a lot of times they won't sell out right away. if you're buying mainstream clothes, especially from a tmall store or one of the bigger, well-established taobao sellers, you'll probably manage to get everything you want.

I'm doing my fourth Taobao haul atm, it's my biggest one yet and it's all fairy kei. I've been slowly paying everything off over the past few months - 11 shirts, 2 sweaters, 2 jackets, 2 pairs of bloomers/pumpkin pants, 3 skirts, 2 bags, 2 beanies, a cap, a pair of tights, a load of bracelets/hair accessories/jewellery-making stuff, and some badges. I don't mind waiting for this stuff, nor do I mind doing it in separate orders over time, but would it be worth it to keep all the shoes in one order or just keep in one pair and leave the rest for other orders?

There's a pair of canvas shoes, 2 pair of sneakers, a pair of those bunny-ear lolita heels, and a pair of mary janes, if that helps. I've only ever ordered relatively lightweight Antaina shoes through Taobao and that wasn't in with a massive order, just a bag. Can anyone give estimates what shipping to the UK might total out at?

>> No.8487173

>>8486673
If you're just getting mainstream stuff, then if it sells out just copy the listing terms and search those and you'll likely find tons of other sellers selling the same things. If you want to be proactive, then when you find an active listing, put the entire item title in the search bar and check the "same" and "similar" listings (the two orange bars on item pictures on the search page) and take down a few alternate links. This only works when an item is in stock though.

Also, I would caution you against buying too much "normie stuff." Taobao may be cheap, but with shipping and fees the costs can add up fast to the point where you end up paying near Western fast fashion prices (and the quality is generally comparable. Anything I've bought that's been better has been "expensive" by taobao standards. My best stuff is like $35+ USD before fees or shipping.). If you're gonna do that, you might as well buy stuff locally where you can try it on. If your local shopping sucks though I can understand. I've just seen some people come away sticker shocked when they thought taobao was "supposed to be so cheap!" I mostly buy stuff I can't find locally easily and throw in a few normie things in my already bulk order.

I don't live in the uk, but shoes definitely add up weight wise so you're looking at a sizable package for the shoes alone. Most of my shoes range from 1-2kg each, sometimes a little more for the ones with platform soles (this includes the shoebox if you're wondering why they're so heavy)

I think you could definitely do a shoes only order, especially if you need to save up for the inevitably more expensive shipping charge.

>> No.8487190

>>8487182
Yeah, with the weight of the other items I have a feeling that the shipping's gonna be £50+ without the shoes. I'll probably end up taking the stuff I don't want as urgently out and leaving them with 3/4 of the 5 pairs of shoes. Shipping sucks so hard.

Hate to double-post, but one of my last orders weighed 4.717kg and my shipping was £49. That included a pair of platform shoes and two thick cardigans so compared to light cotton shirts I could probably get more stuff into, say, 2kgs than if I bought shoes and knits. Either way, I think it's safe to say that the shipping for all of that is going to fuck me over.

Thanks for the advice! I understand the issue with buying normie stuff from taobao, but I actually have reason to believe the clothes, especially blouses, will fit me better than western stuff as I'm very petite and narrow chested. The two chinese blouses I own from eBay fit me much better than any other shirts I've ever owned. Plus its not easy to find a wealth of cute blouses with details like pintucks, embroidery and cute collars in department stores. Maybe I'm wrong, but I hate schlepping around looking for clothing in malls so it's worth it to me just to pay the crazy shipping.

Another question regarding availability: if an item has a note saying "0 people deal" does that mean it's sold out? I hope not, buy it seems like that would be the case.

Haha yeah, by normie I meant like...will blend in with regular people but more uncommon/interesting than just target and Macy's crap. It seems like no mid range US department stores are willing to make professional looking blouses with feminine touches or nice tailoring. There's always some stupid thing about a shirt like a weird tunic waist or idiotically short sleeves. Plus even small shirts are usually too wide at the shoulder for me. I don't shop a lot though so maybe I've just had bad luck. Anyways, I'm going to make up for all my non-shopping this year by glutting myself on clothes, starting with taobao. I hope it works out.

and a detail of the upper part. the tube length from heel to hem is about 28 inches unstretched, so they're definitely long. because of the material and how they're knit, they don't stretch that much width-wise, but you're not really meant to wear them as thigh-highs anyway.

Any big headed gulls have experience buying berets off taobao? I'm looking at these http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=41370530850 right now. The given measurement is 56-58 cm. My head is about 57-58, including my extremely thick hair. They'll probably be too small, right? Or will they just fit because I'm technically within measurements? I may order one just to be absolutely sure, but any advice would be appreciated.

the ties are all really nice quality given that they were all so cheap. the fabric is a good weight and not at all that shitty shiny satin. you do have to sew on the snap yourself, which is something I asked about in some other thread around here earlier, but otherwise they're really cute, sturdy ties.

stock photos are misleading, though, you most definitely can't wear the first two ties with the deep V-neck of a sailor collar, at least not without some kind of extender.

the last seifuku bow, along with another bow I got from bodyline around the same time.

the bow from zhuzhusl is vastly superior than the bodyline one - the fabric is thicker and way less flimsy than bodyline's, which is a bit more shiny and has that slippery-smooth sort of "cheap" feeling to the material. zhuzhusl's also comes with extendable elastic, which is nice as you can wear it with sailor collars as well. definitely my favorite of the bunch.

as for the cardigans: they're nice and thick and will be really comfy for cooler weather in the fall. some of the buttons are a bit loose and will require some reinforcement, but aside from that I really like the material and construction. the fabric isn't incredibly soft, but it's on par for something you'd get at F21 or similar, and it'll probably loosen up with a wash or two.

I got a size small, and it fits a little bit more snugly than I would have thought it would -- I'm wearing a bodyline skirt in the attached pic, which has fuller pleats (due to the thicker material of the skirt) and is longer than the taobao skirts, and you can see how the cardigan sort of bites into the sides and makes the pleats on the edges stick out awkwardly. the cardigans also lose that slouchy, baggy look on a skirt as long as the bodyline one, but they look better with the shorter skirts.

if I could reorder these, I'd probably size up to an M. again, I'm on the smaller side, so if you're even a little taller than the average petite chinese girl, you'd probably best size up if you like the really oversized look.

Overall pretty good. The pom poms, leggings and gloves are a tad on the cheaper side but it's not a big deal. There were some extra things I'm not too sure what to do with; there were invisible straps included which was good but there was a roll(yard?) of plastic boning or something?? I haven't figured out what it was for yet though.

I haven't tried everything on yet so if you want pictures I can do it when im not food bloated. But i'm still pretty faaaat

I know this was popular a few years ago but I'm hoping some version of it is still being sold.

Their blouses are seen in lots of stores on taobao that carries several types of items. I don't own one, but several anons made orders a while back and said that they were pleasantly surprised at the quality and that colors were accurate, felt nice to the skin and was basically great for the price.

Thanks for finding it anon. Unfortunately I don't think I will have any luck with a one-size dress from any Asian brand so I guess I have to pass on this dream dress. I hope you enjoy it though.

Not super Taobao relevant, but about one-size dresses..

If a brand only had two sizes available, what do you think of
>Sz 1: B 34/36, W 26.
>Sz 2: B 39/41, W 31.

Do you think that these would be good standard sizes? Is there too large of a gap?

They seem fine although too big for me personally. What's the deal with the two bust sizes?

I started sewing my own lolita specifically because brands are too flat-chested and don't fit properly, so I want to offer 'standard' sizes and kind of busty sizes.

I'll do a smaller third size after all, then!
