Anyone know what shop this hoodie is from? All i can find is a fishy looking site that looks like a taobao reseller

>>10461242
You know tb has reverse image search? Just click the camera in the search bar

any anons know any good shops that sell old jesus diamante style dresses?

>>10461384
Man, I forgotten about this weird ass style.

>>10461394
great thanks.

>>10461377
Thank you so much for pulling this up for me! I've actually never seen a camera icon on the tb search bar (or anywhere else that I've noticed for that matter) is it only on certain pages?

>>10461409
It is a little weird because its not on the home page, but if you search for anything then the search results page bar should have the camera icon. Its also on the app. The picture size has to be relatively small. If the search fails the file size is probably too big

>>10461494
This is super helpful, thank you so much!!!

did taobaotrends stop with their shopping service?

>>>97665146

Are there still any shops selling Love Live Cyber cosplays? With dresses preferably made out of vinyl?

These things all came in, if people want reviews.

>>10462040
I'd like a review of the fluffy things. brooches? they look so cute in the stock photos. i wonder if they are disappointing irl or not.

Really sorry for the late responses

>>10457813
Not sure which one you wanted but they are both sold by the same seller

>>10457830
I didn’t read the description until after purchase but it looks like this is a deposit/final payment page? I never did a first deposit and it was shipped anyways strangely enough. I would advise not purchasing unless you contact the seller first

Anon, please do a review on the 2 cutsew's and drop a link to both. They look cute!

Agreed on the forest rabbit cutsews, have been looking at them a while and would love a review.

>>10463256

Not taobao, it's on xianyu and hoping someone can help.
Is the character 山 used to refer to replicas? I only know the terms 高仿 and 复刻 to describe them. The full description of the listing I'm looking at says

ETC 大草莓飞袖款 9新 均码 山的!!

>>10464330
Yes, they use "mountain" to refer as replica 山

>>10464374
Thank you!

>>10464330

Piggybacking off of this- I have to ask just out of sheer curiosity because it's been sticking in my brain for weeks.

I'll see Taobao reviews or comments on Weibo that get google translated as "squatting for X" or "growing grass"/"my grass." I can't figure this out and am dying to know about what it means!

On a side note, I figured out that google likes to translate shirring as "vegetarian chicken."

>>10464383
do you have the chinese?

>>10463199
I'd like a review on the Ito collabs, please! They look cool but I chickened out because a shopping service said that the store mostly carries "fast fashion quality" clothing.

>>10464396

Sure! Some examples:

"害没米了蹲个二团"
"发出种草的声音:买!"
"有没有禁言通知群可以蹲鸭!" (I don't get the duck thing either...)
"招募种草姬"
"好好看啊一眼种草"
"种草了 买了"
"我蹲的屁股酸了" (this one really confuses and amuses me)

>>10464694
>>10464330
山 means knockoff/replica. Here's a Wikipedia article on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanzhai

高仿 means highly-quality fake, whereas 复刻 is one of the catch-all words for replica.

种草 (planting grass) means something like "I want it" but in the context of seeing it on another person first.

蹲 (squat) means to wait for something, in this context probably on secondhand sales or rerelease. The last quote you posted translates to something like "I've been waiting (squatting) so long my ass is sore". The duck thing is too complicated to explain.

>>10464694
The duck is a modal word to express excitement in a cute way, similar to ねin Japanese

>>10464701

Wow thank you! That was fascinating. Wish the duck thing wasn't too complicated because that sounds interesting too.

>>10464704

>>10464706 anon, well I guess my wish was answered! Hahah if I'd only waited a minute to post. Thank you as well kind anon.

Does anyone know a store carrying blouses of a wide range of colours? I've been going through my bookmarks and 90% of the stores stick to white/black/ivory. I need a dark/chocolate brown.

For anyone else looking for brown blouses, Little Dipper has a few (that I sadly didn't like).

Thank you so much for your help!

I'm actually back with more questions about buying from Xianyu. I just found out that the sellers will ask for payment before confirming their items with photos. My SS let me know that this is usually the case and sometimes too many questions or requests will get the buyer blacklisted or blocked.
Since so many of the listings on Xianyu are just stock images from the shop they purchased it from, how can you be sure about the quality of the clothing before purchase? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance^^

I just ordered it in white, but same. I wish it came in black, the accent color doesn't matter to me I just want this OP in black sooo bad.

>>10462048
The brooches are both brooch and hair clips, they have both a pin and a clip on the back. That being said they're kind of big imo for hair clips but maybe I'm just a bit behind the times.

The usakumyas are my favourite because they're the least derpy- The bears look like the ones in the stock photos and while they're adorable the eye placements are definitely kind of low and give a derpy look. Still, they're soft and really cute, would recommend as long as derp doesn't bother you.

Cutsew links:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=600469700766 (long sleeve)
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=612768396366 (short sleeve)
The cutsews are the best cutsews I've ever ordered. I ordered the C size expecting them to be a little short since according to their sizing chart they fit my height but not both my height and titty size together, but they not only both fit but they are both roomy. Everything is made out of cotton and the lace is nice and sturdy. I was worried the lace would be too chunky but I've found it just right imo. The long-sleeved cutsew's sleeves were even the right length for my arms, while the short sleeved cutsew has ribbons in the sleeves to control the width. I'm going to order more colours because I love them so much. I wish they made a lavender colourway. The only thing I'll warn about is their sax is definitely a bit warm sax (but not quite AP mint).
I'm 5'7" and have a 97 bust, for reference.
>>10463020
The socks are great. I ordered the sax/pink, brown/yellow, and black/pink. They stretch nicely and are decently thick so they're not going to just wear through. However, the sax is going to be weird to match, it's similar to the sax on Ice Cream Parlor and not to most sax. No complaints about the pink though.

>>10466412
Do you have a link for the socks?

>>10466412
What is your waist size?
I'm a small to medium in US sizes, I have a 72 cm waist and 87 cm bust and im trying to determine what size cutsew to buy but the page isn't translating so I can't see the measurements.

Does anyone have the link to the taobao shop that has this jewelry (or any similar to AP cute plastic jewelry)? All I can find is the weibo for Dream Planet Lolita Dress Shop if that helps.

>>10466423
NTAYRT but i bought their large and my measurement is slightly under yours

>>10466428
b or c? I think b is m-l and c is l-lx
Does it fit well?

>>10466439
Cup size? AA

>>10466440
Sorry lol
The sizes for these cutsews are a, b, and c. I was wondering which one you got because b is M-L and c is L-XL and you said you bought a large.
Hope that makes sense

>>10466258
Can do! I'll post a review when it comes.

>>10466289
I paid ten yuan for domestic shipping to the warehouse. Not sure how much I'll have to pay for international shipping just yet.

I haven't tried Sosicshop, but the quality of Lizjill is excellent. Even though the shoes are replicas, they're made of leather (most brand shoes aren't) and feel like a high quality construction. They are really easy to care for compared to PU and look just as gorgeous in person as they do online.

Unfortunately the sizes are pretty limited. They've been clearing out stock since late last year and haven't restocked. It's pretty hit or miss in terms of stock levels, but I can't complain too much because the sale price is good ($19AUD per pair compared to $53AUD).

>>10466423
My waist size is 72 cm. It was definitely baggy in the waist, but I think the idea behind the roominess is that you can wear it over a skirt if you want rather than being forced to tuck it in.

>>10466328
I would love red or pink. Black would look cool too.

>>10466442
Lol I forgot how they size thing, I just check I bought C, tho I prefer my tops to be on the loose side.

So far I have the rococo booties and the cabriole heels. Neither have soft insoles, but I can spend the day in the rococo pair. I find the cabriole pair harder to wear for long periods of time because of the shape and height of the heel.

Hi gulls,
While I've ordered Taobao through Bhiner lots of times, I've never made a pre-order. I just asked them about it and it (understandably) requires upfront payment. However, I feel kind of uncomfortable fronting so much money for something that's not gonna be released until next summer when going through a middleman.
Do I have any reason to be worried? Is Bhiner good for pre-orders? Please share your experiences if you have them, thanks much!!

>>10466644
Their fee is high (15%) but the service is great. Yes, they will declare a lower value if you want, and are even open to other ideas you might have to lower any possible fees/taxes.

You should know which intl. shipping method you'd like to use and ask them if they're available to send your package that way beforehand though. I was a dumb noob and picked from one of their relatively few suggestions, DHL Express. Was way too expensive and DHL's customer service was dogshit. Took more than twice as long as planned.

>>10466678
I would say you can do whatever amount the actual store needs up front

Are there any taobao shops that sell cute pastel t-shirts that would pair well with lolita skirts?

>>10466678
I use Superbuy and they take the deposit payment only upfront and the rest when the tail payment listing goes up, close to release. I prefer that method.

>>10466644
They way overcharge for shipping in my experience and automatically go with DHL, so make sure you ask about shipping options beforehand

Serious question. If Alibaba (who owns taobao) gets banned in the US (currently some speculation about this), will it impact my ability to order from taobao? Like going through an SS should save me right?

Any bloomers that will fit someone with fuller hips?
just have a bit of a butt and some thighs and don't want my circulation cut off

>>10466644

They are super sweet, responsive, and have good English. If there was something I had to be very careful about details for something that I was ordering (like a lot of custom measurements), I may go with them.

But as everyone else says, they're way more expensive. Service fee is like 15% but I always calculate for 23.5% because that's what it is after paypal and other fees, and they charge the exact same % fees again when they invoice you for shipping. Usually it's not worth it for me.

Can anyone recommend some decent quality sweet wristcuffs from taobao?

>>10466820
Im a big ol' pear shape. I haven't bought bloomers in forever off taobao but I found a lot of them will fit because the design of the garmet is already oversized/full. I believe there are quite a few shops that will do custom sized bloomers as well. I know aurora ariel taobao already do custom size petti and I believe they have a custom sized bloomer listing.

My other rec would be the lovely sized bloomers from Japanese brand MAM. I bought some last November and I really love them

>>10466851
Okay that's good to know! I'm not even super ~thicc~, just fuller in the hips and butt than what is probably average for Asian women and I've had bad experiences with one-size items being uncomfortable even tho I'm small so if normal bloomers work for you then I'm sure they will be fine for me. Do you know if Cat's Tea Party bloomers are decent?

>>10466820
Anon if you've got a sewing machine bloomers aren't too hard to sew yourself. They're actually a great beginner project

>>10466872

>>10462040
I would like a review on that mouse. Also what is the lace made of?

>>10467488
The mouse was honestly a disappointment. It worked fine for about a week then suddenly developed lag issues where it would work fine then stop moving for a good two seconds (about every 20 seconds) before jumping across the screen. I don't know if I just got a defective one but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
The lace is all chemical lace.

>>10466720

Thanks, I just ended up asking Bhiner and they requoted it for just the deposit price! :-)

I know they're easy to make but mine always end up looking like shit so I just want to know a store where I can but some for Tohru. The hard part is I do NOT want them to be hair ties, I want hair CLIPS (preferably alligator type).
Ideally would come in pink, yellow and maybe blue so I could switch them.
I found these but neither come in yellow and neither are the exact right shape (too short and not really a bow?)

Any one know the name for nail tips extensions? I only find the ones that are the full nail extensions, and I only want the ones that go on the end of the nail. Would also appreciate if anyone knows the names for styles of nail tips like coffin or almond because I keep getting odd results.

Small order that was more expensive than it looks because of how much fabric I needed.

>>10469408
Can you review the AG wigs when you get them in? I've been curious about that shop

>>10469611
Sure. I already have some from them and I think they're pretty good, only issue is one side sometimes need restyling compared to the other (curls coming loose on one side due to how they were put in the bag, etc). They all have nice middle parts and skin caps, unlike Dreamholics that tend to have the weird circular parts that don't sit down nicely. They're not Cyperous tier or anything but you get good value for their price, probably better value than Dreamholic. I'd say they're comparable in terms of fiber quality, shine, and softness to Dreamholic's with the exception of their unnatural colours which are better quality than Dreamholic's similar colours imo.

does anyone know the search term for a "samsung s8 phone case? specifically, a "blingy/rhinsestone samsung s8 phone case" because I want to buy one for my mom and google translate isn't helping me at all

What are shipping prices like with superbuy rn? I did a fairly big haul, few blouses, bloomers and 10 or so pieces of jewelry.
I'm hearing people get quoted 200$ for shipping. How likely will that be the case for me?

>>10469678
Depends which method of shipping. SAL is still cheap, all other options are still jacked up.

>>10469663
just get from ali it will be less than $10.

anyone ordered from HMHM or Tiny Garden recently? I ordered a blouse from each of them over a week ago and according to my ss neither shop has even sent the item yet

>>10469693
oh perfect ily

>>10469695
you're welcome. they are just so cheap on ali you might as well.

>>10469690
How cheap? Im probably gonna go with SAL if its available

>>10469690
Its weird. SAL costs like 24 dollars for one small item and then Chinese Registered Post Air Mail (i think is what its called) was like 6 dollars. Are those similar shipping methods? Sorry if I sound like an idiot. This is the first time I've used a SS.

No worries, I've been keeping my eye firmly on them myself! I think she is doing the final payments for the last batch of preorders now, but should be doing more soon!

>>10471136
does she have them out pretty often? Recently they were out of stock and I guess had more ready but they must have sold out pretty quickly. I really wanted the white.

>>10471022
How much did you pay for shipping, and how heavy was your order?

>>10471492
$55, it was just under 4 kg

Does anyone have the link to these socks? I tried to look up Doll's Daydream but the link that came up for it is dead. Image search does not work for me.

>>10469611
not OP but i love AG wigs, I have 4 in different styles. my ONLY gripe with them is that if you have dark hair, it'll show through the lighter colour bangs as they're thinner to look more 'natural'
The quality is great and the variety of colours and styles is great too.
>>10469617
this anon mentioned the parts which look great like they said
for like, £6-12 they're great for their price

>>10471501
Thank you! Which shipping method did you use? And which ss? Sorry for all the questions, I'm looking at making a haul but I've been out of the taobao game for a while

>>10471611
I didn’t use a SS, I bought it directly and had it forwarded to the Taobao consolidation warehouse!

any store reccs for cute plushes i can make into bags?

Are lizjill shoes true to size, or do they run smaller/larger?

any recs for shops with fully shirred pieces (blouses, jsks, ops, anything really) or what search terms I can use to find something? I tried google translate, but I can't get any clothing results with multiple different translations. Just hair accessories or the term is wrong and is some random shit.

>>10472171

Seconding this. I like the look of full shirring would love to see some taobao options as well.

>>10469694
Oh yes,this cause I swear I wanna get some HmHm stuff but I don't know if their shop is active.

>>10472368
ayrt, I was just flippin out because I ordered a blouse and didn't know that their stuff was mto and takes 30 days to make. So I guess I'll update in around a month to tell yall whether my blouse came or not

>>10472171
full back shirring or shirring all around the bodice?

>>10472538

Nta but I am the one below them and I was thinking full back shirring

>>10472538

ok so update: The tiny garden blouse I ordered finally got to my SS 2/3ish weeks after ordering, but I'm still waiting on the HMHM blouse, which is fine because I only ordered at the end of august

>>10473127
3 pairs shouldn't be THAT much

Does anyone know what lift insoles/height insoles for shoes are called in Chinese? or just insoles in general

pastel loungewear?

>>10473127
>>10474199
How much would shipping for 3 pairs of shoes come out to? There are some really cute shoes I've been eyeing for a while but I'm too chicken to find out the shipping cost the hard way

>>10474840
I’d say around $50-70 if you buy direct and have them forwarded to the taobao consolidation warehouse. I can only imagine how much a SS would charge for that

>>10474840
back before corona i ordered 3 pairs of shoes, a purse, a petti, and a pair of fleece tights. it was ~17USD for domestic + ~44USD to the US. might be more expensive now due to the pandemic, idk.

>>10474849
>>10474880
btw it was through Bhiner ss and the agent fee was ~6USD, so that's a total of 67USD (but keep in mind the purse is a bulky item as well). so 50-70 sounds accurate even with an SS.

>>10474884
Man you must have had a good experience because the one time I used Bhiner they charged me double the price of the dress and bow I bought. I did the math myself and it should not have cost anywhere near that. This was also pre-corona.

>>10474894
Reading that over again, I meant they charged me the price of the dress and bow in shipping and fees

Does anyone know a good source for this bead chain that tons of taobao brands use for accessories? I found a couple of shops, but I'm shopping around in hopes of finding the original manufacturer or close to it.

>>10475775
Just make your own! It's really easy and all you need is beads+wire+pliers. It's fun to change out the colours too

>>10474184

I submitted an order to HMHM, but Bhiner says they sent an email but haven't gotten an reply/they haven't read it. But their taobao has summer releases for this year?

>>10474849
Is that the cheapest shipping available? I knew it was bad, bit I didn't think it was THAT bad

I suck at collages but here's my haul! I also ordered a shit ton of lace but I was too lazy to add it in. I'm HMHM blouse anon so that's all I'm waiting on here before I ship it all
I'm willing to post links to everything, but may not be able to review the stuff in the top left corner since it's for my friend

>>10474840
I have three pair of shoes in my SS's warehouse. They weigh 3174g altogether. Here are the shipping costs:
EMS $83
DHL $102
SAL $58

>>10476279
Unfortunately yes. COVID fucked everything up. They used to be able to ship through EMS which was cheaper and faster but they suspended that. The only shipping method (for the US) is Fedex currently. It arrives within 2 weeks which isn’t the worst.

>>10476286
58 for SAL, three pairs of shoes... damn

>>10476286
That’s overcharged, I shipped 11KG via surface mail to the US and it cost less than $58, took exactly 2 months to arrive.

Do any gulls know what I can do if a seller sent me the wrong item on tb but I didn't use an agent I just uses the taobao direct service? Its also possible their warehouse fucked up but I wonder what to do

>>10476295
I selected EMS for my taobao haul but I keep hearing about it being suspended. I don't understand?

Anybody been having trouble with Taobao not showing all the reviews for an item?

>>10476400
yup

>>10476397
On my end it shows up as EMS when I check the shipping page on my Taobao app but when I enter in the tracking number through my browser it comes up as Fedex. Weird.

>>10474880
rip, I currently have an order of just 3 dresses (the page says 2.5 kg total) and consolidated shipping to the US is $50

>>10476400
yep, every time I click next page it just shows the reviews from the first page

That's one really overpriced minne reseller, just buy from picoruoka directly.

I don't mean to be asking for someone to spoonfeed me but I'm having some trouble navigating the site. I was combing through the faq and dictionary in an attempt to find some pleated delinquent pants like Metal Bat has in One punch man. I didn't find what I was looking for searching for with "一拳超人 cosplay" and I've been digging through the terms related to a type of school uniform with and without the term cosplay attached. Tossing in "pleated" seems to throw up some wacky as fuck results too. Trying not to be retarded here but Is there a better term I should be looking for?

>>10477675
Awesome! Was really nervous! Now I can chill out on that, wish the Chinese holiday wasn't coming up lol

I received these about a week ago and they are so comfy. I have giant shoulders (44 cm) and fat upper arms and it fits perfectly. I have a 90 cm bust and it buttons up with no gape with about 4-5 cm of space for comfort. Would not recommend those with huge ribcages like mine though because it cuts off above the waist and makes you look like a goddamn fridge. For paying roughly $14 per cardigan it’s not a bad deal. Overall pretty content, just need to tie the fabric behind my back to give me some semblance of a waist lol

A review for a wig that cracked me up.

I used Chinese makeup when I lived in China. Nothing bad happened to me. I'm convinced it's literally the same shit as drugstore makeup in the US or shit you'd get off Amazon, you're just not being overcharged for it. Just use common sense and look at the reviews.

Golden Week is coming, fellow Taobao-chans! This is a friendly reminder to get your orders in soon and prepare for a week-long delay starting October 1.

Looking for simple OTK socks that don't cut off circulation on my legs. Bodyline used to have these and they sat comfortably.

reminder that chinese golden week is 1-7 october but many companies take two weeks off, also chongyang festival is from the 25th, I don't recommend ordering anything in october

>>10479894
also chongyang festival is from the 25th, I don't recommend ordering anything in october

Look up LOLcos, that brings up all League of Legends cosplays. Heartseeker isn't popular compared to the Star Guardian or Immortal Journey lines though, so good luck.

Augh, my friend and I put in a group order last week and some of the items are starting to arrive. I ordered a blouse, a headdress, and a set of hair clips from this one shop, and almost immediately I got refunded for the headdress because it ended up being out of stock. The blouse and clips showed up at the warehouse today and BOTH are the wrong colour. I got a red blouse instead of pink and pink clips instead of yellow. Fingers crossed that they can at least refund the blouse because I literally don't have any red in my wardrobe.

>>10480114
I had one seller (Doris Night, who can't even spell their own name right on their own label) send me a red dress when I asked for purple, and they failed to send me the hair clips I asked for. They resent "something," and I'm hoping the new package will have all the correct items. Do these sellers suffer from colorblindness or what?

So for some reason I cant log into my account, and it wont let me browse the site unless I'm logged in
As soon as I've entered username and password it sends me to a page where I have to verify with a text sent to my phone number, but I never get the text?
I've verified with text in the past so I know that it should work with my number, so I have no idea whats wrong
Anyone else have this problem? Or does anyone have any ideas on how to solve it?

>>10480528
you have to hit the orange button to actually send the text. It's weird, it looks like the button you press after you enter the code in order to proceed, but its the button that sends the text

>>10480534
If I press the orange button it just says "Please enter the verification code", so I guess mine might be different? I can click on the text next to where you put in the code, and it starts counting down (I'm guessing to when I can send it again) but nothing happens

Any good shops for plus size maid uniforms or nanchatte? Plus size for giant tits mainly.

I hope this isn't too dumb a question, I'm new to taobaoing.

I was attempting to purchase a couple pairs of shoes directly off taobao without an ss, to try saving up a bit on the fees.
However, after I input delivery address, I got an error message saying that "due to taobao policy", the shoes cannot be sent to the country I've chosen. Tried 2 different addresses in different countries, same thing.

Has anyone encountered this issue?
Is it an EU curse?
Thanks in advance

>>10480950
Forgot to add as well, could it just be blocking me from buying for maybe identifying the shoes as "counterfeit"?
Bodyline isn't selling the shoes I wanted anymore, so I turned to taobao

>>10480950
Taobao doesn't ship to Europe, common knowledge.

>>10481012
I actually had no clue, especially when you can select absolutely any country when choosing where to deliver to and I had come across a few articles stating you could.
Thank you for the info

any shop suggestions for christmas themed dresses? or just anything in tartan?
Do most chinese indie brands even make Christmas themed stuff?

>>10482159

Seasonal prints that don't translate year round just end up sitting in my closet, but for Christmas (brand or taobao) I reccomend any cookie prints, especially ones with little gingerbread men or animals, and tartan, or any red or green velvet with gold embroidery or printing.

It's definitely a matter of how you coord it as well, not just print and colors.

>>10482160

Sorry that that was more a general suggestion and not specific shops! Hopefully it's still somewhat helpful. ToAlice does have at least one cookie print like I mentioned. And Infanta or another really common taobao brand has a velvet with gold embroidery piece but idk if it's still available firsthand.

I'm posting from the cosplay help thread, someone recommended using taobao to find plus size cosplays. I've tried looking for them on there and didn't have any luck. I ordered one cosplay and the measurements were wrong.
I tried to use the spreadsheet but the word for plus size doesn't help at all.
can someone with experience help please

Does anyone have experience with custom sized cotton blouses from strawberry witch? What's the quality like?

>>10482383
Taobao for plus size cosplays? That's tough. Asian sizes are tough. I'm not even plus size, just an athlete with buff shoulders and even I have to be extra careful with Asian sizes.

How did you get the measurements wrong? Was it premade and the measurements listed were wrong? Did you use a shopping service?
There are many sellers that make custom made/tailored cosplays, as in you can introduce your own measurements and they'll make it. Some charge a little more, some don't.

As for words, not much luck either. It's simply in the item listing itself when you choose the size so you'll have to look individually at cosplays. Find the REAL original seller/maker (if it's not some alibaba bulk item).

It's a lot of time and work, but time is money. Your only other option is getting it commissioned by a western cosmaker.

>>10482383
look for custom sizes, there should be keywords in the guide for that.

Try having a look some of the previous threads. I recall someone posting links to some nice plus size nanchatte a little while back.

asked in the help thread and it never got answered, so trying here.

does anyone have an idea on how quick taobao cosplay sellers are when it comes to making cosplays for new media? genshin impact officially came out a couple of days ago and i'm in love with some of the designs, so i've been on the lookout for any sort of cosplays for sell.

Has anyone ever run into issues when trying to pay for consolidated shipping to the US? It charged my credit card just fine when I was paying for the items themselves, but now that I'm trying to pay for consolidated shipping it keeps saying it can't verify my personal info (and tells me to check whether it's entered correctly). I've checked all the info, entered it multiple times, but still get the error. I even just bought something with this card right before this so I know it's not a problem with the card itself.

I'm at the end of my 20 day period for some of these items and this unexpected problem is driving me up the wall. A quick Google search hasn't turned up anything helpful.

Ok I usually use pruany as a shopping service but they have not updated anything on their whole site in 5 days..what the fuck. I'm a sitting duck right now with my shit there.

Am I just crazy or should I be concerned?

theoretically you're not wrong. Theoretically.
in this day and age what you buy off cheap amazon/drugstores/etc or even brands are probably sourced from just as risky third-world poolands.
It's a matter of looking at the ingredients, sources, review system, and gambling whether they're lying or not.
I think this goes for any product and any country you buy from.

It's always something like this.

fuck this timeline

>>10486356
Lol what how does this make sense for a package going overseas? Not saying you're wrong just that that's total insanity if true.

>>10477675
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it's oct 12th and the blouse still hasn't shipped yet

>>10486445
nta but wigs are basically banned for sale or purchase in hk right now in general. her package may be getting rejected because of that if the ss is through hk.

My 2 packages are still in japan weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
42agent btw

>>10486448
I'm using 42agent and tracking always says it comes from Beijing.

>>10486445
Shipping to HK somehow counts as shipping oversea so all overseas shipping gets the same treatment. Politics.

Has anyone had problems with not getting texts from Alipay? How do I troubleshoot that? I can't verify my account because I don't get the verification code texts

tfw you unironically don't have a phone so you can't sign up.

I miss 2014, not having to verify myself was convenient

>>10486445
99% sure that this isn't ture, I shipped out a package full of wigs right after the holidays. it went through fine.

>>10486626
nayrt, but damn, that shop seems to have super generous sizing for everything. Is it meant to cater for more plus size people?

Taobao order got returned to sender before leaving the country, they still haven't reshipped it yet
here's to an extra half a month of waiting

are there taobao shops that sell maidreamin maid outfits? or anything close to the outfits for plus size? custom/tailor option welcome too of course.

I'm looking for bloomers with pockets. Any recommendations/links?

how can i ask lalamaid to make a custom maid dress design? is wechat the only way or is there a listing

>stuck in japan for over 30 days
What is happening? Is this a 42agent thing or what? It's not even anything heavy or in large quantity

is it possible to buy from taobao using a taobao agent to america right now?

>>10489677
Yes. Shipping is a bit slow though.

I'm not sure if it's the agent or the shops, but my orders lately keep arriving at the agent with missing single items for no reason despite still being shown as stock.

>>10488928
>only 30
my last parcel needed 4 months

>>10490513
Yep... I emailed them and they said the shipping method I chose is being considerably delayed by covid. Oh well. Time to sit down and get comfortable because I'm going to be waiting a while.

>>10461215
Is there any store that still make these Bodyline heart buckle shoes? Tried image search and got nothing.

Looking for BLK x WHT sweet accessories of any kind, necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. Even sunglasses would be fine. Trying to find more creative headwear but Im not holding my breath.

>>10461215
Anywhere still make these heart buckle shoes? Tried image search and nothing came up.

>>10490732
Search Bodyline in English. A few shops on Taobao make Bodyline shoe designs.

>>10490751
Tried this and unfortunately no dice.

>>10490768
In the worst case you can just ask Antaina to make a replica, they do shoe designs based on reference.

>>10490786
Thank you, had no idea Antaina offered that service. I'll do that instead!

I had to buy this gulls, I'm weak to vintage inspired hats. Hopefully it isn't total shit when it arrives.

Any sailor collar blouse reccs? Specifically for Lolita? Whenever I try searching I get that psuedo school uniform type shit and even their stock photos look cheap and bad

thanks !

Is it worth using an agent for just one item? Just want to buy an Aurora and Ariel petticoat (£11) but would it work out much cheaper than a reseller (£30 inc postage on ali)

>>10492181
Not really, when you add shipping and SS fees it's probably gonna end up costing around the same. It's probably a lot less of a hassle to just use ali.

>>10492181
I mean, just make sure the reseller is selling the real deal.
What's the shipping on the reseller? To pay ~20£ shipping that shit better be turbo fast, tracked and packed with roses.

My rule of the thumb is
>restricted stuff, stuff with big dimensions, stuff that has official verified resellers? aliexpress
>anything else = taobao + agent (and try to calculate shipping fees beforehand)

"Kindly take note that your package tracking number (number here) has been returned to us. We have resent your package out and the tracking number has been revised to (number)."


Wtf just happned? It was sent back to the SS?
The old tracking number said it was already in the US though?
And the new tracking number says it's not in the carrier's system yet?
Am I going to have to wait another 1.5 months for this? Or will it at least come faster now?

The old tracking number started with AS and ended with CN, and the new one starts with EX and ends with SG if that helps.

Is shipping to the US still overpriced? I need new shoes and petticoats, but I'm wondering if it's still worth it with the hiked up shipping...

Taobao noob here. If taobao ships direct to my country, is it still worth it to use a shopping service anyway for translation, return help services and quality checks?

Also, have any anons tried using Sugargoo? Its a newish SS that seems to be gaining some traction in the fashionreps community on reddit but i havent heard of many cosplay/jfashion people using it.
