Have shops come back from CNY break and started taking orders again yet? None of the ones that I was too late to order from have dates listed anywhere on their store and my SS isn't back to ask yet either.

>> No.9794776

>>9794735
i put in an order directly through taobao like a week before CNY and two shops shipped the items before the madness. just now i'm getting notifications that four other shops shipped the orders to the warehouse so slowly i think everyone's getting backing into working again.

also i checked a few shopping services and they wrote that they're breaks end today so maybe this is the expected day to come back. i do know that some more independent shops are usually off until march but those are like small, two heart rated shops that you shouldn't be ordering from anyways.

Sweet, I'm ordering through taobaoring and they're off until the 26th but hoping there won't be any more delays after that. I think I placed my orders two weeks before and two shops had already closed up by then. I couldn't just drop those either because they sold the main part of my cosplays r i p.

Looking for a seifuku top with a black collar like pic related. Preferably completely black but black with white stripes works as well. The rest of the colors don't really matter.

I've been looking for hours and I've checked a lot of the nanchatte stores in the spreadsheet, I can only find navy or black with red stripes.

They're all like... really good? I'm shocked. Even like the cheapo ones (A1 A2) are quite good.

The Lucky Cat perse (A2) is really cute, looks exactly like the picture, feels quite well made, and is actually rather roomy inside.

A1 is a great casual bag. The velvet doesn't feel cheap of flimsy at all, it feels quite thick, I wouldn't be nervous about putting any holes in this or anything like that.

B2 is really REALLY nice, it feels so sturdy, I was shocked that it had like such heft and weight to it. Converts into a backpack, also! Unfortunately I don't think it's quite what I was looking for so I may sell it

A6 I was also really surprised about, I was expecting like an average to below average replica but it feels so nice, the quality is really far beyond that (it even has a Japanese price tag lol). The lining, the metal details, everything is spot on.

B3, also great! Honestly it feels on par with some of my faux leather bags from meta and IW.

Ntayrt but the shipping prices are way different. I regularly make orders that are 15k+ and pay around $150 in chipping. The price for EMS/DHL from ordering directly is around how much SS charge for SAL.

Pricing aside, it's really a lot more convenient to order through SS if you're not fluent in Chinese. I've had a lot of order mishaps that a SS would've caught (but since the FS doesn't check your shit beforehand, I was SOL)

that's just an example of ordering one item which used to be a stupid thing to do. i remember ordering a wig and some really small hair accessories and shipping from the ss was around $35.

i personally think people don't have to subject themselves into ordering huge hauls so shipping is worth it anymore. $11 for a wig isn't the cheapest but it's about the same from ordering from another domestic wig shop and its nowhere near $35.

DA, but it's something like, "The space between the two circles is the bleed area (will be sewn out), the main image is within the orange circle, the borders of the image should include the area between the two circles."

Since it's a custom omanjuu, I assume they are just letting you know that your image file should be 10.5cm wide with the head no wider than 8.5cm.

Experience having a few of packages from Japan and China, and making some mistakes that made me hit unpleasant taxes.

First of all, lie all you can. It will save you money, and customs do not give a fuck, as long as it sounds legit.

The bigger packages are more likely to be checked, especially if the values are funny low. Chinese tend to write $20 no matter what. This is good, because it lets you bullshit your way through with any higher value you please.

VAT is straightforward, cutoff is at €22 for purchases, €44 for gifts. If value is above that, you get to pay VAT. Difficult to avoid, but you can make it lower by undervaluing.

The import tax is easier to avoid, as the cutoff is usually at €150. Keep your package value below that, and you should be safe. How much the tax is varies. E.g. for me it was 2.5% on a package I claimed to be a gift, but I messed up, and got hit with some 16.5% on another one, that I claimed to be purchase, and it happened to be above €150 total.

Important thing, you can undervalue not only content, but also shipping costs. Probably even claim the shipping was free.

The customs office should send you photos and/or original label from the package, so you know what is declared on it, the shipping cost if any, and if it's marked as a gift. Go with it. If they ask, it means that they think it's undervalued, or that the contents listing is missing. Provide that, but still undervalue. If it's marked as a gift, you can try to claim it's a gift.

Useful resource for multiple countries http://www.buyfags.moe/Undervalue

All that said, you have better chance slipping through if you split packages, as small values will be more believable. Even if shipping is more, you will save that in taxes.
My best package went through customs, but I paid nothing.
A good one I claimed as gift and paid only VAT + tiny tax.
The worst one I paid a total of almost 40% in taxes, declared (and still undervalued) by me as above €190+90 shipping.
EU sucks.

Always and always. You can only be exempt from them, and the rules are as follows:
>VAT
Package content is worth less than €22.
Package content is worth less than €45 and the package is marked as gift.
>Customs/import tax
Package content is worth less than €150.

It varies from country to country if they also include shipping cost in deciding the tax exemption threshold, but you pay tax on combined value:
>Customs = (value + shipping + insurance) × tax%
>VAT = (value + shipping + insurance + customs) × VAT%

How high the customs tax is, is a big gamble. It depends on the products imported, etc. Can be as low as few % on gifts (no matter the content), 2.2% on wigs, 12% on most clothes, to as high as 17% on PU shoes (funnily leather shoes are only 8%).
The whole system is very complex, you can find complete list here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32006R1549

VAT is usually around 20% (depends on country), but it can be less on few categories of items, like books/printed media and food.
It's also likely that some handling fee will be charged.

I split my 10kg haul into two packages before to save money from customs but neither of them actually went there. The SS wrote outside Wig $1
Let me tell you though, if you use Sofort or Credit Card customs can't check your payment tracking.
So you could be like
>Send 50€
That's your entire payment, fake the documents etc
Customs won't be able to find the shit you orderd or care enough to look after every piece on taobao.
Make it realistic though - getting 10 shirts for $1 each isn't gonna convince them - $5 is more expected.
When you gotta pick it up from customs I learned a trick when one got stuck.
I just pretended like everything is shit - ripped on loose threads, said the quality is awful, what else I'd expect for that price and the women there was talking to me about how I shouldn't expect anything good for what I paid.
So that's just small tricks you can use.

Can you be more specific? Like what cosplay do you want to buy? It depends a lot on the cosplay and the seller. I've ordered from Uwowo several times and their costumes have always been gorgeous for the price and accurate to the sizing.

Look at the sizing charts and look for shops with several purchases and good reviews. If there's picture reviews you'll be able to see how the material looks irl. If it's a custom sized cosplay measure yourself twice to make sure you give the maker the right measurements.

Just pay attention to the measurement charts and it's better to go a size up than a size down if you're somewhere in between. Usually they won't ask for your measurements unless you get custom-sized stuff but if they do and you're ordering through an SS (you probably should) the SS will let you know.
Try aliexpress if you confused. It'll be a bit more expensive than taobao but it's all english, a lot of taobao sellers have shops there and you don't need a proxy.

Material will be dependent on the seller/manufacturer. You can get some really great quality stuff if you do your research. Look through the reviews, filter for photo reviews and you can get a good idea how something might look irl without all the fancy lighting/editing. The size charts are there for a reason. Photos can also help you gauge if you need to size up or not (for example: elastic waistbands). If you're right on the cusp of sizes then size up and you can always alter it in the right areas to have it fit you better.

Keep measurements of your height, bust, waist, and hip in cm on a sticky note right beside you if you don't already have them memorized so that you have a quick reference when looking at charts.

On the homepage, click the link at the top that's labeled "跨境物流管理" or cross border logistics managment. On this page you should see a list of all of the packages your warehouse has for you. Click the boxes next to the packages you want to ship, and then click the button next to the yuan total labelled "运费结算" or freight settlement. The next page will break down what your charges are. Click the button at the bottom of the page labelled "提交并支付" or submit and pay. Now you'll be taken to the alipay page where you can enter a credit card to pay for your shipping fee.

I want to pre-order few items, they are priced at 999999, and I don't know if I need to do anything or just wait for pre-orders to start. Can anyone help me out with translation? Pic related. What are the dates in red?

Unfortunately I think you're out of luck anon, it says the reservation period was Feb 21 8pm - March 4 midnight. The rest of the text is standard stuff about deposit/final payments, where to follow them for notifications, return policy etc. You can keep an eye on the shop, sometimes people back out or forget to pay or they make a small amount of extras.

>> No.9819096

>>9819081
The issue is, that doesn't make much sense. The items were in the store before (at least some of them, at the low price), from previous batch I think, but got delisted some week or two ago, and replaced with the 999999 listings.
I for sure know that the dresses weren't listed in the store before, only blouses and accessories, and the dresses are originally from somewhere around 2015.
Though, maybe I really missed it, bummer.

Did you ship UPS, DHL, or any other shipping method that does dimensional weight? Your package likely weighed 6kg but if you do a method with dimensional weight they charge whichever is heaviest so the dimensions of the box might have equaled 13kg. It's why I don't do DHL anymore.
