I've never bought anything from a preorder on taobao before, only ready-made items, but I really want to grab a dress that will be coming out soon.
There's no need for me to keep checking if the dress is ready, I'll just get a message from SS when the shop lets them know it's done and the second payment is due, right? Are there any SS who DON'T allow preorder items?

[Anonymous No.9692958]

What does this mean? It only appeared for some of my items as an option under the "refund, complain business" area. "Virtual lift counter price" doesn't mean much to me...and I'm afraid I'm suppose to do something before the seller ships. When I click into it though it looks like it's area to "report" something.

Just in case the explanation is a little confusing.. from what it sounds like it's when a seller has a 'sale' and the price of the sale is more than what it was before the sale. Like price inflation.

Brand looks better imo, I know what I'll get and has a better resale value.
Also, I hate dealing with Taobao Agents and their weird hidden fees. Did it once with a 'reputable' agent for a classical puppets petticoat and it was such a hassle. Communication was horrible and they took so long to ship it out even when everything was paid for.

I've been eyeing the AP shoes for a long time and they looked beautiful and sturdy in person when I was in Shinjuku. To me it is money well spent.

What's up with AliExpress? Do some stores list items from Taobao stores?
For example this cosplay, besides there being many uglier version on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item//32821689768.html
The pictures are cut. The cosplay is really well made, which makes it easily recognizable.
This is what I believe to be the original, the store ran pre-orders, and all designs came from here first: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=561038674471
Do some AliExpress stores serve as an SS, or are they using stolen pictures to sell fake stuff?

Also, maybe a stupid questions, but can cosplay dresses be used as a baby's first steps into lolita?

Anyone have tips on what size to pick when buying a cosplay outfit?

My measurements feels kinda out of reach as compared to the charts the sellers provide.
Is it okay if I just give them the measurements I had or pick one of the sizes because looser might be better or something.

I'm super skinny and my measurements are like 72 waist, 78 bust and like 175cm in height

[Anonymous No.9695376]

>>9695372
forgot to add that, when I used to buy normal clothing from taobao, I would always pick one size larger and they came perfect because China clothings are always small for some reason

Not so sure about cosplay outfits

[Anonymous No.9695404]

>>9695372
Really depends on what kind of cosplay it is.
If it has sleeves or legwear that could be too short if wrongly sized (and look bad), go with one that is closer to your height, probably L/M male or XL female.
You can always make it tighter with safety pins or some sewing, but you won't make it longer. And also never take perfect/just barely fit, because you might gain weight, eat big dinner, and will feel really tight in the clothes, they won't look as good, and the measurements might be inaccurate. Always get yourself 2~5 cm of safety.

For example I'm your height, b/w/h 82/65/84, and I went with one size, small sizes, and M size. I aimed for fit, as most of these clothes are dresses which are not long to the ground, the sleeves aren't meant to be too long either.
On most of these clothes the differences in lengths are also really small, the biggest appearing in the middle blue one, 6 cm sleeve and 9 cm pants between S and XL.

I think there's little need to be worried if you go one size below your height to get a better fit.

But please take my advice with a grain of salt, as I don't have my cosplays yet, so I cannot say how they will fit in reality. It's more of a hint to give you an overview on how particular parts of clothes differ in sizes.

>>9695376
I don't know about other clothing, but you probably meant one letter size bigger (e.g. S -> M, M -> L, L -> XL). I think it's better to look at the measurements, than at the letters, if they are available.

My order came in today so I'm going to review some stuff. I ordered with taobaoring and ems shipping.

Same as the strawberry ones; thick and a bit blocky but cute. The white is definitely offwhite rather than pure white.
>Lace ankle socks: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18797442148

>Blouse: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=546270921818
I also wanted this blouse in pink and the long-sleeved version in pink too but they were sold out when I ordered. Came very wrinkled and in need of a good steaming. Quality is OK for the price and there were a few loose threads. I tried it on briefly without a bra and realized that it would look very sexy pair with some lacy underwear because the fabric is slightly clingy. It also felt quite static-y when I took it off.
>Socks: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=548440997656
I took a bit of a gamble with these because another anon a few threads back had some in red with color bleeding. Mine arrived without any noticeable bleeding although I wouldn't say the print is very sharp. They are quite soft though and I can see them becoming a staple for me.

I have some dresses with dusty pink in them so I decided to grab these. They are slightly more peach in color but not too noticeably. The headdress has a single comb hot glued to the middle which I'm not too keen on. The material is soft and the details are nice although the lace is not the highest quality.

Very thick and chunky. I like them a lot and wish I'd ordered more colors. I would say they're slightly a bit too stout. The bows are detachable by a flimsy little pin and look a bit sad though.

Better than I expected. Just enough detail not to be boring but not so much that it's too busy. The lace detail on the front is actually a small pocket. The zip feels sturdy and it's a reasonable size. I think however this bag might be a replica?

I used aliwangwang or the taobao chat. I used zhongshan for over two years btw, and I consistently made orders that were over 20kg every month. Their customer service was bad almost every time there were any issues. They would weigh multiple items wrong and take 3+ days to update the right weight, but they wouldn't update it in the system, only update the price afterwards when I was about to pay. They also made me pay for shipping twice when I had an item that was larger than normal. Like I had already paid for my shipping and was waiting for it to ship out, then realized from tracking that the package didn't move for over a week. So i asked them why and they said I had to pay more shipping since the original payment that was listed on the website didn't cover it. They didn't make any attempt to message me about this btw, despite the fact that they could easily message me on aliwangwang about it.

So most of my orders have arrived at the Zhongshan express warehouse, but apparently there's an issue with my Cats Tea Party order. According to google translate and my awful Chinese, I think something's missing from the order. I'm sending a message in both Chinese and English to Zhongshan, hopefully they can tell me what's up.

Has anyone had this problem before?

[Anonymous No.9701787]

>>9700957
I think I had something similar in my last order. I checked in with Zhongshan to see what was up and basically something is missing from the package (they even took a picture of the package to clearly show me what was missing) so they told me to contact the seller. The seller ran out of stock of something and asked me if I wanted to replace it for the same item in a different color or to just get a partial refund. The seller guided me through the steps of applying for a partial refund and it was settled fairly quickly. Luckily for me the seller had better English than Zhongshan lol so the process went by fairly smoothly.

I had to contact the seller through the messenger app and after I downloading it and I realized that they had actually sent me a message about the missing item before shipping it.

>>9700971
Just wondering if you know, but does Zhongshan still send out by EMS? Or is it only DHL now? I tried asking but they kept telling me it's "random" and I tried to inquire about who decides if it is "random" but I haven't been able to get a clear answer.

[Anonymous No.9701810]

Any reason why my tracking from Zhongshan forwarder is reporting that the origin of my package is coming from Hong Kong?

Also, the last couple times I ordered through them I literally received my package in 3 days from when I paid internationally shipping. This time it took them 3 days just to pick up my package from when I first received my tracking # and I made sure to pay during working hours over there.

Any top recs for any non-taobao direct forwarders? I want to try a new one with more shipping options next time for smaller orders.

They suck. Soak them in fabric softener for like, 3 weeks at a time and you'll see some results. I got a boleyn girl that was majorly fucked up and they said they'd send me another one (and their replies took forever, even after I showed proof), but as soon as paypal's 180 day protection ran out, they ceased contact. Fuck dreamholic, honestly. This was like, 2 years ago, maybe? I've never heard of them doing this to anyone else though, so hopefully melva just fucked me over, no one else. I don't think they make scamming a regular thing.
Also I've had better quality wigs from ebay and aliexpress, no joke. I only have one wig from dreamholic that's okay.

Also their stock photos and colour swatches are notoriously terrible. I ordered 3 wigs, one of which was meant to be blonde, and it was positively ginger. That was the worst, but another was meant to be medium/light brown, turned out to be dark brown. My boleyn girl that was fucked up was meant to be ash blonde and it was grey with black roots. I shit you not. She defended it by saying 'the colours may look different on your screen than irl'... not that bloody different! I've not really said anything about it until now but I've noticed them getting recommended more than usual and I'd like to make sure people don't get fooled by their pretty stock photos. A lot of people say they're good or mediocre, but I'd never buy from them again.

That sucks, sorry you had to deal with that. I have several of their wigs and so far I've only had positive experiences. I actually don't see them get recommended that much now (I only see people mention them to say they're meh or that they got defective products like yours), but honestly... I really like them. I find the colors really pretty and more or less accurate in real life, plus the wig caps actually fit me and they're not overly full. This is just my two cents based on my experience so far though.

Agreed on the fabric softener. You really do need to treat them or else they're too shiny. I don't soak mine for 3 weeks though, so maybe I've fucked up.

[Anonymous No.9717830]

>>9717829
I should have come out and said it back then, but I was worried that I'd be 'that girl' or people wouldn't believe me (even with proof pics). I honestly would just recommend to people to get stuff off similar taobao stores if they like the look of dreamholic wigs, because the good dreamholic wigs I've seen always seem to be as good as (or subpar to) taobao lolita wigs.
Then again, I'm obviously an outlier, as I've never heard of other people getting scammed as bad as I did, which is a good thing at least. I'm glad yours turned out alright. The wig caps are good though, I'll give them that.

This is Japanese for ivory, not white.

Expect about 90% of taobao stores to send you something in light yellow instead of ivory, though. Not an issue if you're strictly 100% taobaolita, but if you're buying it to match japanese burando, don't bother.

[Anonymous No.9717985]

>>9717856
It's safer than such recommendations seem to make it.
If you buy from respectable stores, with many reviews, then you have little to worry about.

China still has many regulations on what can be certified for contact with food, and what can have contact with skin (cosmetics, etc.).
http://cirs-reach.com/China_Chemical_Regulation/Food_Contact_Regulations_Food_Contact_Materials_in_China.html

Sex toys are a little more tricky, internationally, not only from China (not to mention the fact that China products have 70% of global market), as there are no regulations in any country about them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_toy#Health_and_safety_concerns

All in all, I believe it's safe to use ball gags from China, as long as the store looks respectable and specializes in this kind of stuff. Not some "mom and pop we sell everything from nearby factories" store, as they might not check their products for quality and safety.

Has anyone applied for a refund on taobao before and the other party not respond?

I chatted with the forwarder beforehand to ask for a partial shipping refund after receiving the package and seeing it weight significantly less. After showing them photo proof the chat agent calculated how much should be refunded me and guided me through the steps of applying for a partial refund. She even confirmed that I had correctly applied for it but said that someone else will have the deal with the refunds so I will have to wait 3-4 days and fast forward to today the refund is going to time out in a couple hours. The refund page translated says that if the seller doesn't respond the system will automatically refund me but I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm this?

Can anyone help ascertain what the last 'colour' option means? The english translation: leather 188 yuan consultation customer service. I'm guessing its to request other colours, since the same shoes in gold and aqua can be found on aliexpress. If so, would i be able to just ask for gold in the notes and my taobao agent will understand and get the correct colour?

Yes this works, if the seller doesn't respond you automatically get the refund. And you will get the refund through your CC, but that itself took another few days (a week, roughly, I think?) to show up in my CC history.

Normally before asking for a refund I'd chat with seller (not the forwarder) on aliwangwang to see what their deal is. Have had some sellers not even answer and not even ship out my packages so I just request a full refund. No idea what is up with those sellers.

yeah, the last option is to request a custom color, assuming for 188 yuan rather than the ~105 yuan the in-stock options cost.

if you show your SS a picture of these shoes in the color you want, i think they should be able to get them in the correct color for you

I looked the shoes up on Ali (~$40usd; sorry if you're using a different form of currency). Ordering through taobao (~$28.41 without fees/shipping applied) would save you some money, but I think it depends on how easily you can communicate with your SS and how much you trust them in the end.

Thanks for the reply, they never ended up responding and so the automatic refund is going through now. Not even sure why they didn't respond to the refund when we agreed on everything over the chat but whatever I guess as long as I get my money back.

Another thing that kind of surprised me was that they couldn't/didn't just look up my package info and see how much they ended up printing the shipping label weight for. You would think that that stuff would all be recorded in their system under my parcel number. I had no problems sending them an image as proof but it just seems like it would be a lot more efficient to be able to pull up this info on their end.

I'm kind of split between thinking they do it on purpose to make it harder for buyers to file claims (kind of makes sense when you think about how many people in China probably try and game everything, even small tiny shops), and that Aliwangwang is really more of a chat app for them, whereas for us it's strictly to chat with taobao sellers. Sometimes you get a little handphone icon on some convos that (I think) indicate they're using it from their handphone, I always wonder if they're replying to my messages while they're out getting milk or something, and so can't look up my parcel info (it's kinda dumb, I'd just leave the message unread until I could get to a PC, look things up and knock out a proper business reply, but I guess some people prefer to answer whatever they can there and then? idk).

Anyway, glad you got your refund sorted.

Curious if anyone else can recommend decent lucky packs. I really want a crafting lucky pack but the restriction on powder and liquids kind of rules out all sorts of resin, glue, glitter, colours, and so on.

Ordered JSK+KC+shirt+skirt from Magic Tea Party for ¥628 and a lucky pack with (lewd-ish) panties, got the tied ones for ¥29. I will also get ¥30 worth of gifts from the panties store, because I spent ¥90 there on 12/12.

Pic related is the model I picked. I don't know how good it will be, or how it will lie on me, as it's going to be my first proper lolita dress. I'm honestly more interested in getting the other items, or maybe all of these as a set, to get started with fashion. So please don't bully if you think the dress is not pretty.

I'm yet to get anything, and I'm worried how much excitement it will be, as my SS takes pictures of all items that arrive.

What are those 1¥ items in most shops for?

[Anonymous No.9720702]

>>9720680
Shipping, probably.

Tried to order a toy prop from taobao - obviously fake (pic related), because I simply do not have the time before Katsu.

I ordered it through basetao but they immediately cancelled it because it's a "gun". After a quick google search I discovered that China won't be able to ship (toy) guns internationally.

Have others here shared the same experience or is there an agent that could ship it?

Just try ordering it from like all the possible services, ones bound to just not give a fuck and send it. You could just contact customer service and beg them if you're desperate.

That's not too bad of a start, looks like the set comes with a blouse and random skirt. If your SS is okay with holding your items you might as well wait for photos before picking out some legwear, petticoat, shoes and bag and shipping it all together, then you'd have your first outfit.


Thanks for the links. I'm not into gimmick underwear, but that MTP set looks interesting.

No shopping service will send that to you; it’s banned and services will get fined/strikes against them.

Thank you. <3
I have already ordered a petticoat, I hope it will work well with the dress. I need it for some cosplays, that I'm ordering along.

A big batch of stockings and tights is coming to me from AliExpress, including plain black and white ones, so I hope to match something.

As for a bag and shoes… I have already spent too much on this order, and I'm getting a bag from Japan (which sadly might not match the coord well, but I just couldn't pass on it).
I'm completely lost about shoes, even more that I need a little bigger size than are usually available (around EU 41).
And I really don't want to spend on shopping much more anymore. I'm now thinking how to avoid custom duties. Might be difficult with a 10+ kg package from China.

Weird but good to know. Guess I'll have to get off my ass and just make it.

Thanks anon.

nayrt, but i know that feel when you just want your items and have already spent a lot.

if you're not on a time crunch trying to prepare for a particular event, though, then i really would recommend waiting til you find the other items you need and shipping them out together. better to pay the horrid shipping fees in one go than paying around the same amount for not as many items at a later date.

some shopping services will hold your items indefinitely until you finally ship them out, so you can keep adding to your order as long as you like. i know from experience taobaoring will. disregard everything above if you are trying to make a deadline, though...

as for shoes, however, i know some shops on taobao that offer size 41 and above.

Just a bit more info on this if anybody cares to know, It’s not exactly just liquids as some liquids can be shipped out of China without problems. however, nail polish is considered flammable and that is the reason it cannot be shipped unless it’s shipped via specialized lines or ground shipping. (Same thing from Japan,Europe,USA- basically nowhere can you honestly ship flammable liquids such as nail polish or perfume without using a specialized shipping line - if you do and label it something else and get caught you’ll be in some trouble for it as it’s a danger)

Anon if you want Chinese nail polishes just do aliexpress.
Aliexpress sellers who sell nail polish get their stuff out by using specialized shipping lines capable of handling their “flammable liquids” or are willing to simply lie on customs forms and have been getting away with it whereas the agents for Taobao are unwilling to lie as they dont want to screw their connections with the postal services they work with , but some agents do actually have specialized lines for flammable goods that will be costly to use and take a long time.

I don't know why I got sad watching this. Maybe cause we don't have something like it in Europe.

All your requested items are from https://shop66985238.taobao.com/, except for the demon bunny hoodie which is OOS now so I can't find it; sorry! (I think some of the other shirts are OOS now too, but they have other cute designs!)

I love both of them! I hope they arrived safe and you like them as much as I do!

Light Review: The lighting in my house is pretty poor, and my phone's front camera sucks in low light, so I needed a solution. This thing is awesome! It has three levels of brightness, but honestly the first level is more than enough. It's pretty blindingly bright, so it will take a while for you to get used to taking selfies with it. It does an awesome job filling your face. It takes one AAA battery, I believe. Super light and portable too. I'm excited to use it at cons. I couldn't be happier for the price I paid.

Thank you, it helped, especially the shoe store links.
I will wait for the dress to come, to see which colorway I will get, and then decide on shoes.

White style in black+red colors.

Sadly didn't get the bag I wanted, and nothing is able to catch my interest.
Maybe I will get something practical for now, that will be able to fit my laptop and EDC, and somehow look with lolita…

>tfw find good shoes for cosplay on Ali
>image search on Taobao because have an order going already
>only stores selling them have 4.6 shop ratings
The image reviews on the boots all looked alright and the reviews on that item were all good (+ hundreds of buys) but I'm still real hesitant.

Does anyone have cosplay wig recommendations for large heads? I'd prefer to order some cosplay wigs off Taobao since I already have an order placed but I've always found Taobao wigs are more for girl heads than guy heads and I don't want to buy anything that'll squish my bf's head.

I sold mine immediately after getting it. I paid about $35 for it when all was said and done and I was massively disappointed. The wig was thin, the bangs were cut awkwardly and the braid that I got as extra was haphazardly glued on there with chopped off end of it showing.

With taobaoring is it possible to change your shipping method when you submit the order? This is my first time using them. Also how are they with preorders?

[Anonymous No.9724711]

>>9715750
you actually have to click the button to send the code, it doesn't auto send.

I've used them for preorders and had no issues.
