Anon that will translate stuff: [email protected]
I am so ready to use Buynosaur for my next order, it's not even funny.
This is what's happened with my current order:
>Reach out to Taobaoring at first
>They respond immediately but then take days to respond back
>Decide to switch to Taobaospree
>Email back and forth what I need as quick as possible so I can get my package in time
>Get an email back that a seller sent the wrong color of my friend's item and I'll have to wait another two weeks for them to make it
>Definitely won't get my stuff in time for the con
I'm so disappointed as these were the first SS that I've used but they really screwed me over in this current order, all the good stories about Buynosaur is making me want to start using them for now.
>>8912358
It depends on the sellers, in my first-time experience. I've just had Buynosaur give up on a seller they contacted before Chinese New Year and haven't heard from since. Since I'm not in a hurry to get my items in I'm okay with it, but I'm sure that if you told them you're in a hurry they'd actually press the sellers. They're really good on replying to messages, and unprompted updates. I don't have anything to compare them to, of course, but I feel their care in every message, it's pretty great.
To the anon who bought the Zootopia stuff and provided links... I hate you. My "Oh I should get this just to have!" has spiraled into me trying to make an entire cosplay in just two months for a convention.
>mfw cosplay shops on Taobao have already made Zootopia police badges, police patches, and motherfucking Snarlbucks coffee cups
Goddamn it, I seem to have chosen all the flaky sellers for my order. Another part cancelled.
Thread reminder that if you can't image search or filter your searches that well on Taobao, you're probably on their global site, so switch back to the Chinese version.
>>8912358
I feel bad about taobaoring, I JUST got my final payment form from them and it's just so much invisible numbers... They're too expensive. :/ Good service, but wayyyy too expensive and sometimes slow.
>>8912808
Share, anon? I used to use them but yeah they're expensive.
>>8912344
Buynosaur anons what shipping option did you use? How quick did it come? Has anyone used speedpost?
>>8912813
It's just like, fees for shipping it to them + fees because it's different sellers and so on and so on.
>>8913039
I had Buynosaur help me with shipping because I wanted cheap and didn't mind waiting but they don't offer SAL so I was at a loss.
Just copy and pasting some info from my order I found on the archive because I'd already forgotten what option I had gotten and stuff
>Still, my shipping for 7-14 days was $9.35 for under 1kg
Still can't find remember which option this was but I know it was "Hong Kong ___" because tracking only worked up until it left HK.

Anyone have any experience with Taobao Focus?
Anyone have any experience with group orders vs ordering by yourself?
Guys I ordered by myself using their kind of new international shipping thing, and Taobao is fucking with me.
Half my my order arrived and processed at the warehouse two weeks ago, and the other half has been sitting in limbo, not processing for over 2 weeks now. I know something went wrong but I have no idea what to do at this point.
I'm about to pay double for shipping and I'm not a happy camper about it because this isn't my fault, its just shitty Chinese service. Plus according to the refund page, I should be getting a refund for the long processing time but I don't care at this point I just don't want to pay double shipping.
Has anyone tried ordering themselves yet and/or speak Chinese and want to help a desperate anon out? (please.. I'll pay someone at this point.)
>>8913269
have you tried messaging the warehouse or the sellers on aliwangwang to see what's up? granted the warehouse people are pretty damn useless most of the time too, but most of the time sellers are happy to help.
>>8913065
I've never been charged for having different sellers other than when they don't have a free domestic shipping option?
>>8913273
My chinese relatives helped me call both the warehouse and the seller at time where they were "online" on aliwang. Neither picked up the phone, and you can't leave a message. I think that they can see its an international number so they don't pick up.
I'll try and download the app to talk to them.. But my chinese is only barely passable, and I don't want to bug my relatives again.. They've been so helpful already.
Can someone help me find these shoes. Unfortunately it seems LizJill has stopped making them as sizing and colors are very limited.
>>8913550
sorry, not a Taobao link but I think I have those on my wishlist:

I'm using HongKong Speedpost (standard since my order is 6kg), it shipped on Monday and should be arriving by Friday. I can let you know if they arrive on time, if you'd like!
So far so good, it cost me around $86, I was willing to pay as much since I'm in a rush.

Can anyone translate? Google says it has something to do with local laws limiting sales, but I'm getting the message for tights, of all things?
I bought some casual clothes from a seller to the taobao forwarding service over 2 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped. I tried to google translate multiple messages to them asking why they haven't shipped yet etc. and their response is something along the lines of "i'll ask" and then i say thanks or whatever and they respond with "ok" and then nothing. This seller has lots of positive reviews though, over 1000++ on each of their items so i don't quite understand what is going on.
>>8913683
That would be excellent !
>>8913568
Aww man anon. If only they hadn't fucked up the ruffle! You can definitely tell those are replicas. Pic related is LizJill. Thanks anyways!
>>8913693
Is there copyrighted stuff printed on them? Sometimes that stuff gets seized.
>>8913821
It's for tights from Yidhra. Maybe they're replicas? Darn, I wish I knew where to get the originals, if that's the case. But it seems to be affecting most of their items, even ones that seem pretty generic.
>>8913873
I just checked it out too. It should still be fine as long as you buy from an SS, just switch Taobao over to mainland China.
Does anyone know how to open up a drop shipping store with stuff from Taobao/Alie? I know there's so many sites that do it now I'm just not sure how to get in touch with a manufacturer.
Do I have to use a ss?
>>8913947
Just start a storenvy?
>>8914086
I see your point thanks.
>>8914002
>>8914086
Yes. Yes. Don't do it. I thought I could handle it but I underestimated China. I called, I emailed, and messaged. All they did was here me around and send me on a rabbit chase because I'm a foreigner and they know I can't do anything about shitty service. It isn't even the shops fault, it's the Taobao warehouse. Now I have to pay double to the warehouse that treated me like shit, and has a bad reputation of doing this to foreigners.
It's been two weeks since I've made my order and not everything has arrived to my SS' warehouse yet... Crying forever. I'm so horribly impatient. Nothing I ordered was custom sized or anything, and I only ordered from like... 4 shops. CNY slowdown is fucking ridiculous. It's literally a month later and sellers STILL don't have their shit together.
im looking for one of the milk heart bags, and ive found them in almost every color except gold, the one i want. are the gold heart bags even on taobao? or am i just wasting my time looking for one, and should probably move on and try mu luck with mbok or auctions or something?
Seeing half the people in this thread having their orders delayed... I got 7 items from 5 different shops and it only took about 10 days for everything to reach Buynosaur. It's kind of surreal, haha
>>8913701
message the seller yourself. the forwarding service is a forwarding service, not an SS.
>>8914435
did you use Aliwangwang and tell them the tracking number+ order number of the item(s) that are missing? just keep asking them to check if it's in the warehouse and say that it was arrived but not processed
>>8914718
you don't need to speak Chinese either, if you message in English they'll understand
The Love Live mermaid cosplay won't be shipped till next month. Has anyone bought from TB recommend a listing?
>>8914718
>>8914720
I've both called and messaged. The package indeed arrived, but they just haven't processed it. The warehouse people sent me on a loop of "call this person that's not my job" which ended with a dead end with a guy who notoriously doesn't pick up phones. I recently messaged the seller, and they have yet to reply.
Thanks for trying to help anons..I guess I'll review my stuff if it ever makes it too Canada.
>>8914561
Lucky you then!
In all honesty, if Buynosaur wasn't so kind about it all I would have been a whole lot more annoyed at items suddenly being unavailable.
This is physically the largest order I've ever gotten. Big boxes are so satisfying to open.
>>8915089
daaaaaamn i'd love to tear through that box
>>8915120
Unfortunately it's only flowers but still it was fun!
Has anyone ever wanted reviews for the flower shops in the spreadsheet? I got a bunch of stems and some individual heads. I'm really digging these peonies, they're bigger than my hand.
>>8913937
Thanks, anon! Good to know I can buy my tights. Any idea why they have that message in the first place?
>>8915198
It worked on the main China site so I'm assuming the shop doesn't want to deal with international orders for whatever reason.
How long is the wait time on a quote from buynosaur?
I'd like to add a couple of other things, plus I'm placing a preorder and just want to make sure I get in in time.
Can anyone link me to the recommended seller that was going around a while ago for Love Live cyber set outfits?? Or a seller you'd recommend that you bought from for them? Past me wasn't smart enough to save any of the links.
>>8915143
I'd be interested to hear which ones actually look real, and whether there are any that look particularly different from the store photos.

Does anyone know how I can find this dream of lolita replica bag in black on taobao? No luck with reverse image searches or translating "clock bag" into chinese, without being inundated with the gold-and-black printed clock bag everyone has.

What does spot (item name) mean?
>>8915425
Ah it's been a couple days since I submitted mine. I'll have to message them.
>>8915803
I'm pretty sure that means it's in stock and ready to ship, as opposed to a preorder.
>>8914718
I did message the seller myself, asking them to check my order etc. and they tell me to wait a bit and then no response. Im thinking of just requesting a refund now since i am having to pay storage fees for everything else.

I know what you mean, I'm in the same boat thanks to that anon. Luckily I have some more time before my next con, so I can wait longer and see which Judy cosplay ends up looking best since most are preorders right now. However, I can't find the pawpsicle keychain the anon had in her picture, the link leads to a dead page and I can't find it just by searching the zootopia tag. I hope another one pops up soon.
>>8916245
Nick anon here, I just found one a minute ago!
>https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=528393645265&ns=1&abbucket=10#detail
Also if you're going to cosplay Judy, definitely look into police uniform shops for womens shirts/pants because they'll be cheaper and better quality. I'm actually getting my Nick uniform shirt from eBay and they have a LOT of light blue womens police uniform shirts for under $10 that work well for Judy.
I'm using Taobao for the props, ears/tail, and maybe if I can find a good police belt since they're absurdly expensive elsewhere.
Good luck, Carrots!
Any thoughts on this blouse?

Thank you anon! As for the tips, I'll look into them if I decide to go for the graduation uniforms. For her normal look, I kind of want to stick closer to the under-armor race horse look instead of the rl police uniform look most cosplayers are going with. I mean, it makes sense to humanize her clothes since it's gijinka, but I think the original is cuter.
I'll probably check the police supply stores for kneepads and the chest armor though, thanks for the suggestion!
Does anyone have shop recommendations for good chest binders?

Fuck, I'm done with Pruany. I'm going to try Buynosaur on my next order.
I paid for a custom made item. They told me it takes 2 months to make. I said it's ok, that's expected. The status changes from "buying" to "waiting for goods". 2 days later, they say they cannot buy it. They cannot be responsible if the seller doesn't send the goods (which I understand and said was fine). They told me to use Western Union.
I'm pissed because they changed my order status to make me think it had already been ordered. I know nothing about WU and don't see how it's a better option than PP unless they offer longer protection times or something. If I'm not mistaken, didn't PP lengthen theirs?
I think I can use Taobao's forwarding service though. I didn't see a guide on the first post. Can someone point me in the right direction?

>>8917470
Pruany has been on some bad drugs lately. Last year I ordered an item that took almost 5 months to manufacture, but once I acknowledged that it would take that long the order went through fine, and they definitely never mentioned Western Union. Two months shouldn't be a big deal at all.
Is it normal for Buynosaur quotes to take a few days? I kind of need an order placed as soon as possible because it's a custom item I need in time for a convention and I would prefer not to pay as much as the order itself in shipping costs.
>>8917831
I submitted mine on Tuesday night and only got it today.
Shoot them a message and let them know. I messaged them after anons here said it normally takes a few hours and they were pretty prompt.
Has anyone seen the "What customers say" part of Buynosaur's website? I'm dying over here because I always did think shopping services secretly questioned my purchases.

Guy here. I found this store

a little while ago and was looking for more 'indie designer' stores like it with a lower price point, similar to this store. Any links? I've looked through the OP spreadsheet but was wondering if there's anything good but just not spoken of.
Does anyone have a help email or customer service from zto(shipping company on taobao)? I can't for the life of me find their [taobao] page, and a shipper put the incorrect tracking number on my parcel.
Can anyone recommend some cute chocolate themed socks or tights? Cute chocolate themed accessories would be nice as well.
>>8917664
I'm wondering the same thing. I just placed a big order with TBR. I was considering Buynosaur but their lack of a cart system, higher service fee, and higher PayPal fee make it not worth it since their customer service is the only area where they excel over TBR as far as I can tell - and TBR's customer service has never been bad for me.

Happy I decided to go with Buynosaur and not Yoybuy. They're helping me try to find an alternative that won't take so long and isn't terrible quality but damn. Guess that cosplay shop is incredibly popular or overbooked or some shit. Anyways, they sent me links to some alternatives rather than just cancel the whole thing outright, they're really being helpful.

Check some of the shops in the catalog. It's really going to depend on what exactly you're looking for though.
A few weeks ago I found a shop selling anime-inspired clothes. By this I mean casual versions of dresses/outfits, such as Princess Serenity's dress or CCS's typical pink dress. Of course I forgot to bookmark it, and now I'm having trouble finding it, and I can't remember how I got it in the first place. "Magic/al girl clothes/dress" isn't helping too much.
Can only seem to find cosplay now, can anyone think of possible search times?
>>8921019
you might need to be more specific, are you talking western comics/movies/tv, straight-up cowboy westerns, or?
Somehow this is worse than the pepe tissue holder.
http://world.tmall.com/item/523746585239
To all the buynosaur anons in this thread, what do they tend to charge for domestic shipping? The rate indicated by the seller, or a flat rate, like taobaoring's 15cny for any items under 1 kilo rule? I'm a bit sick of overpaying for this with tbr when all I'm buying from a particular seller is a brooch with like 5cny envelope shipping.
(I know it's just a few bucks extra per item, but I like buying a lot of small accessories and it really starts to add up unnecessarily, especially with our shit canadian dollar.)
>>8921404
You can ask taobaoring to use the store's free shipping option and they'll do it. They only charge because it'll get there 'quickest'. Admittedly, it's annoying when they just set them all at a flat rate instead of the true price but that's more convenience on their part
>>8921404
I'm not entirely sure, but they linked me to a little spreadsheet they had for me (because my order is having a lot of issues), and one of my items had a free shipping note. They might just go with the cheapest? Maybe that one item had a promotion, though.
I'm sure that, if you ask Buynosaur to go with the cheapest option, they'll also do it.
>>8921404
Just like >>8921531 said, I don't think they ever explicitly stated the domestic shipping in the spreadsheet. One of them was 10 yuan more than the listing had said, so they put a note in explaining why and even a screenshot to explain. So I really don't think that they'd try to make you overpay!
>>8921404
Mine was like 10 HKD?
Also, is it normal for them to convert Yuan to HKD?
>>8921581
They're located in Hong Kong, which is probably why. I think other SS are mostly mainland.
>>8915198
Anon, don't use a Hong Kong SS to try to purchase the tights, they can't get them. Make sure your SS is located in mainland China.

[spoiler]Even 1 piece is quite expensive, are there any other ouji/boystyle fashion stores on Taobao that sell to not-Chinese?[/spoiler]
Help. What the hell is this supposed to mean? I'm buying button badges..
>>8923254
Just ignore it, they apply that to everything they think is cosplay related even if it's not valid. It's so they know whether to tell the costume person whether the measurements are male or female (for cosplay commissions and the like).
>>8923254
If you're using tbr like I think you are, just ask about it in the remark field. Might be a translation issue or something, but either way they'll figure it out for you.

It looks like the tights that were posted above are meant to have the obscene parts hidden underneath your clothes. I think it's supposed to be for a sexy thrill, or to surprise someone you're fucking with your dirtiness.

You really think being written on with nasty things is that weird of a kink?

There was a cute "mori" 3 way bag with deer, mushrooms, birds, and other animals going around not too long ago.
Does anyone have a link for this? Or willing to sell one?
Alternatively, if you find cute bags with bird themes, I am super interested!
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Yes! The one that was on Lacemarket. I bought it from her on LM, but I guess someone on Facebook contacted her first. I was pretty sad.
Those bags are pretty cute as well anon.

The shark's face is incredible, i love these so much
So it's been two and a half weeks and my items still haven't arrived to my SS. I'm waiting on two stores for a total of three items. My SS said they'd send them a message asking what's up, but I haven't heard back in a few days...
Should I just cancel the items I'm still waiting on? Is that even an option? The other 5 stores I ordered from with substantially more crap arrived within like... 3 days. I just want my fucking order already. I'm super sick of sellers whining about Chinese New Year when it was literally a month ago.
I'm trying out buynosaur this time. They've been nice so far. Total order: 244$ USD
Grand total with service fees and PP fee: 272$

Just received my parcel from Buynosaur! It was neatly packed and the parcel reached me in three days as promised. Great experience!
Sorry if this is dumb to ask but how do you figure out what the total cost of shipping for your order will be?
And what do you guys typically end up paying for an order that doesn't contain anything really heavy?
>>8925312
Think about how big the biggest item you're buying is and try to figure out the combined weight of your items. Shoes will always bump the price up to 40$ or more if you're using EMS.
>>8925296
How much did you pay for the express shipping? !
>>8924958
>fish bag
I actually bought that out and that sucker was huge. Ended up selling it because in a crowded convention I'd end up smacking people with the tail or I'd get yanked back by parts of the fish getting caught on someone's costume.
>>8924082
Yeah but the headpieces they have don't light up from what I understand.
>>8925346
I paid around $60 for my 5kg parcel. Buynosaur repacked and removed all the unnecessary boxes to reduce my shipping, they even sent me a picture of all the boxes they got rid of!
>>8925506
>3 day shipping
>5kg
>only $60
I think my jaw just dropped.
>>8921047
You probably already tried but is it in your history maybe? This shop sounds great and I'd love a link to it as well.
>>8921047

>>8925519
Different anon but, is that bad or...?
>>8925656
That is indeed very good. I've had 40$ for 1kg before.

>M and L
Oh my god, I saw someone in my class wearing one of the kimono jacket things they have in this store. How does this happen??
>>8922053

>>8925656
It's insanely cheap! I've paid more than that for a lighter order and had to wait two weeks for it. Paying $60 for 5kg and getting it in 3 days? That's mind blowing.
>>8925296
Does buynosaur have a cart system or do you need to send the items in by hand?
>>8925944
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.20141001.1.nG3VtI&id=19859456523&scm=1007.10115.22552.100200300000000&pvid=0e13c83b-dffb-47fe-919b-067d89e631e3
>>8926189
They don't have a cart system, they make a spreadsheet based off of the items you send them.
Does anyone know where these earrings are from? I can't seem to find a source at all, so like everything else I'm just assuming someone stole the picture from a taobaoshop

Rip anon
Help.
My stupid ass put in a different last name than my own on SpreeNow. I do this on every website for privacy reasons, but when I order something, I make sure to check that it's in my PayPal accounts name rather than SpreeNow's name. And I suppose I forgot to do that this time. I got 2 packages I had ordered off Wish, and a note.. You know the ones, that tell you to go to the post office and pick it up. This has only happened to me once before when I ordered from Bodyline several years ago. SpreeNow has never caused any problems for me in the past, my last package came in fine.
So I get this note, read over it, and it says you must provide ID. I have an ID, but.. My name on my ID, and my name on the delivery package, are different. This package was over 100$ worth of stuff + shipping which was around 60$. SpreeNow says the packages are still being shipped, not delivered, so I don't know if it's SpreeNow, but it's all I can think of. I don't know why my stupid ass didn't make 10000% sure that my names matched.
So, what the fuck do I do? I'm basically panicking about it because of all the money I spent. Do you think they'd let it slide and give me the fucking package? I have no idea what to do. I lost like 100+ dollars of stuff.
Does anyone even know why they leave those notes? Someone was home at the time it was delivered, so I don't know why it was there.
>>8926526
Chill anon. Just take the slip to the post office and don't show your ID unless they ask. If they do, your first name and matching address should be enough and you can always claim the last name on the package is a middle name.
>>8926526
The ID is just to prove that you live at that address, so you can legally sign for it, that's all, not to prove that your name is written right or wrong on the parcel. I have to do this almost every time I have to go pick up a parcel from the post office and it's not a big deal. In fact, anyone showing ID from the same address could even technically do it for you.
I'm obsessed with buynosaurs customer service, they are so nice and welcoming!
>>8926526
Only the address matters most of the time. I pick up things not in my name all the time.
Does anyone know what kanji I'd use to search for pirate style boots? I need them for a cosplay to replace my current boots and looking through Angelic Imprint and Antaina really hasn't brought up anything close. I checked the dictionary already.
What do I use to search for blazers? Specifically ones that work for nanchatte.
>>8927442
They're really nice, I'll give them that, I just wish they weren't so busy right now.
>doing group order with friend
>offer to use Buynosaur since I've used them before
>Buynosaur is super nice (as always) but somewhere between them and computer, our order spreadsheet messes up
>our total for payment is half of what we bought
>takes nearly two days to fix

If it were just me ordering I'd be fine with waiting but I hate making my group order friend wait. That and I want a Swimmer fukubukuro and I think they only had six left in this shop so I reaaaaally want them to hurry up and buy one before they're gone.
Come on, Buynosaur. Take my money already!
>>8927761
Fuuuuuuuuck me. I just checked one of my items that had a pre-release price of 19.50CNY for anyone who bought it prior to actual product photos being released and now it's gone up to 25.80CNY because they released the first of the real product images for it.
Buynosaur, why?!
>>8927761
>>included pic related in email
I hope you're kidding. I know it's good fun and all but since the image has an aggressive tone to it, they might misunderstand it, because they want to give you the best customer service possible.
>>8927767
Not that anon but,
They actually get memes and reaction photos surprisingly..their english and humor aren't that close minded!
>>8927767
Have you used Buynosaur before? They use macros/memes in their emails all the time so I'm pretty sure they'd get the reference.
Plus I added "I'm ready to pay for my order whenever you set up the payment. I'm so excited!" to it.
But yeah, I wouldn't have included Fry in the email if I didn't think they wouldn't get the reference and find it funny too. It would be odd if they didn't get it considering they use a lot of pop culture references themselves.
>>8927767
What >>8927769 said. They sent me pic related when my spreadsheet for the order had messed up.
>>8927767
OP here with an update, just in case you were worried! They got the joke.
Does anyone know where i could find the heart buckle shoes replica from BTSSB (searching on Antaina and i can't find anything so far, searching for pic related)
This might be a weird question but is there any actual term to find skirts with buttons like pic related? I don't know much about fashion, sorry anons.
I see you can contact An*tai*na to pay them directly with paypal and then they send it to you so you don't get SS fees.
But what about customs? I live in Belgium and it's fucking hell. Do i ask them to mark the package as gift or ?
>>8927807
Their customer service is definitely worth the 8% (10% if you want them to consolidate your packages and check for quality) but they seem like they're super busy right now with gulls flocking to them.
Then again that happens every time a shopping service has a moment where they're suddenly the preferred/recommended service. I'm not bitter because I'm glad they're getting enough busy to stay afloat after people were suspicious at first that they maybe were a scammer service, but I guess I'm used to service being quicker from larger websites and I keep forgetting that Buynosaur is new and doesn't have many staff.
>>8927813
Fellow Belgifag, definitely ask them to mark down your package. Just ask do $20 or €20, and if possible to mark as gift, customs might look at it funny but let it through, usually (unless it's superobvious fakes).
>>8927885
My bro. Stay safe if you're in Brussels (like me) and in general.
Yeah i'll do that, i emailed them about 5 hours so i hope they'll get back to me. I never ordered on taobao before so i'm a bit nervous about my stuff arriving.
>tfw dream dress and a cardigan arriving from the USA without tracking
>forever stressing about it
What shipping method do you recommend to use with buynosaur ?
So some cosplay plans fell through and all I'll be buying from Taobao are two wigs. Is it worth going through a shopping service or should I just Aliexpress them?

>>8927806
not specifically, no. try including sailor/navy in your search terms, and then "find similar" from there. aside from that, searching skirt + buttons will get you a lot of denim button-down skirts, so pick filters to get rid of them (fabric/material, length, style, etc), include terms for retro/vintage, etc

Avoid Western Union, it's not safe as a buyer because it's difficult to get your money back in the event something goes wrong, unlike Paypal.
>>8928896
I'll use them next just to be safe.
Everything seems fine so far with pruany though, it's only been a few hours and everything I paid for is marked as waiting for goods, even after one item had price discrepancy. Maybe they're just getting lazy with custom orders and preorder type stuff.
A general shipping question.
I'm getting a 12kg package shipped to Europe, so I will be hit by customs no matter what. I was planning on using SAL which costs 14,650 Yen, but Fedex economy and priority is only 13-15,000 yen. However when I choose fedex I get a "Please note that you might be charged high customs duty"-warning. I'm already having the value lowered, but is it something I need to worry about? Do they look through the package more carefully to match up the prices?
I just thought it was a bit odd that they only said that about fedex and not any of the other shipping options.
First Taobao order. Using Buynosaur. Pretty positive so far.

FedEx often charge high prices for dealing with your customs charges. So you get customs+their fee. Personally, living in Europe, I've never been hit by customs when using SAL (even when the order wasn't marked down once)

Ordered from Buynosaur twice, first time I used an option called E-express for Hong Kong Post and it costed me around $13 for a 1 kg parcel and it arrived in around 7 days. With my second order, I've
used Speedpost Hong Kong Post and it was around $70 for a 3 day shipping. Hope it helps!

Oh okay so is that hong kong post and sf express? Those are the two options I see that resemble that. Thank you!!
