Almost got it.
>>8680728
Mmm, damn, I really needed new shoes and these seemed like a godsend. Do shopping services do small stuff like that for free? I have an account with Yoybuy from a year ago, though I hear they're shady now, that I could ask, but I'm happy to register for Bhiner, I just don't want to have to Paypal them $5 or something.
>>8681093
What did you buy?
So everybody on Taobao can make a replica of AP's newest glittery shoes in a heartbeat, but nobody can make a replica of some cross shoes? The fuck is this shit? It's not like they weren't popular or something.
>>8681246
I'd try Yoybuy to ask the question since you've already signed up for them, especially if you've used them before. Just make sure you use another SS if you do decide to buy something. I haven't ever had to use a SS to ask questions before, but I believe most are willing to do it for free.
are these type of jsk/ suspender things that are one size not gonna fit right on someone who is 175cm? besides being short I mean.
>>8681257
I would also really like a pair... just gotta give it time I guess!
Still looking for a bat collared blouse/bat collar and a bat cape. I know that Elegy and Antique Beast have these but I'm hoping to find it cheaper on Taobao. If anybody has links or search terms I can look up I'd appreciate it.
Some stuff for me, some for my friends.
>>8681377
The description should have the length of the garment so just measure it against yourself
>>8681431
Would you be willing to review the To Alice cat skirt with it arrives? I've been eyeing their stuff for a while but wonder about the quality
Already posted this in the mail thread, but I made my first taobao order earlier this week. Mostly fairy kei goodies with a new other random items.
>>8681739
Oops. Change that "new" to "few".
>>8681596
I've ordered from them before. Their construction is pretty okay for Taobao items. The sweater I got was unlined, which I dislike, but the salopette-skirt was really nice with solid fabric choice and construction. But yeah, sure, I'll review the cat skirt when it gets here!
>>8681257
Ugh, I want these bad. The closest I've found are those t-strap ones with the bat wings on the heel.
Does anyone have links to cute otome-y brooches/pins like the ones Peppermint Fox sells? Or search terms I could use?
>>8681157
Source for that shirt? I have a mighty need.
I made a big order with friends a while back and the items have started arriving. I remembered a few Anons asked for reviews of stuff, everything in the red circle is things I've already received.

Links for 6 & 12? Also, review for 6? Is it a replica?
Is it better to order a huge order or several small packages?
My country customs sucks and I'm scared of being taxed if I order a huge package.
Does anyone know where to get these collars? I've tried looking for it but all of them were studded with diamonds and other stuff.

13. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=44884385068
So far I got the black one. I chose the thin option and it is pretty thin fabric but warm and a bit stretch. The print is nice but the ears are a bit stiff, will probably look better after washing.
>>8682804
I know it's from kittensplaypen, but it's not really worth it to pay 30+ in total for the shipping and such. So I'm looking for a cheaper one.
Thanks though!
Maybe you guys can help me with this. So my package has been in the USPS sorting facility since the 17th and I already confronted them about this at one of the post offices about 2 days ago, asking them where it was. They said it should have come in yesterday but it hasn't. Am I being impatient? Or should I be ready to go to them again and complain? I've honestly been tempted to head to the sorting facility myself and give them a piece of my mind.
>>8682841
Sounds like the postal service being a bit shit. Give it a few days and if nothing, go back and politely ask them what's up.
>>8682866
Alright then. Thanks! I haven't had this problem before so was at sort of a loss.
>>8682400
Oh anon, 19 would be the blouse I'm looking for. Link pls
>>8682907
Sorry to say that it seems to be sold out, but I got it from this store and they have some similar styles
https://mumucat.taobao.com/
So far the quality of their things is okay. Nice fabric but it's a bit see through and there are some loose threads but that's a easy fix and they have loads of colours to choose from which is always good.

I remember an anon in a previous taobao thread had ordered this but i forgot to ask for source, does anyone know where/search terms to find this or similar (even better if anyone has ones that aren't straight-up excentrique ripoffs but hey)?

Sorry if this is a stupid question - I checked the Taobao faq, but there wasn't anything - what is the difference between regular Taobao and World Taobao? Does it mean you can buy directly if you are overseas or something?
>>8683468
You can still buy from regular taobao if you are overseas, through a forwarding service. World taobao just has a different layout and currency conversion. Not sure if there's anything else noteworthy since I use regular taobao.

Is anyone else having issues contacting Loli Loli Paradise?
>>8683506
Maybe they marked it up because they're a better-known seller? They have a vastly higher rating than the cheaper shop.
I had this happen to me too when I was shopping for a specific cat hoodie. Picked a 50 yuan one over a 98 yuan one and it was still perfectly nice and comfortable.
>>8683475
Alright. Thank you! I've been wondering this for a while, but I figured it was silly.
>>8683517
Ahhh I see. I wasn't sure if the cheaper one was a knock off or something but what you said makes sense, thanks!

Can anyone help me out? Got a taobao order due to be shipped and not sure what to go for for the shipping, DHL or China Post EMS. My friends are saying use DHL because it's safe and fast, but I've heard shit reviews. Then again, same goes for EMS. I'm not seeing that much info in the spreadsheets/FAQ.
>>8681431
Was that cat dress in the ToAlice shop? I looked and all I saw were bunny and bear dresses.
>>8683506
When there's a huge difference in pricing between seemingly the same item it usually means that the product is either a ripoff or produced by different factory with different materials.
I red into the description and the first one claims to be the original, with the seller saying how saddening it is to see their products getting ripped off so often, but they ensure better quality with better material.
It's made of cotton (sligthly elastic) compared to the second one which is made of a synthetic material and only 10% cotton.
>>8683658
Me personally I'd go with EMS if you need your shit fast. DHL is shit and likes to pull BS "brokerage fees".
>>8682804
kittensplaypen are just a shitty reseller now
>>8683723
Thank you for the advice, I actually found an old livejournal post about DHL vs EMS in my country (UK) and discovered that EMS over here means Parcelforce, which are the absolutely most shit. They left my brother's piano stool behind a bush in the field next to our house, didn't tell us, and it was there for 2 months before a neighbour found it (their dog had just pissed on it and everything). I can't really wait so I'm going for DHL and will risk customs rather than bush + dog piss combo. DHL are apparently better over here than in the US.
>>8683327
They are indeed.

>>8683781
Well shit, I've read stuff about parcelforce but damn that's bad. I'm in Canada so we have Canada Post for EMS stuff and they're pretty good. Or at least my local people are. DHL here likes to "declare" stuff on your behalf, charge you bs fees and if you say you want to declare it yourself (it's waaay cheaper if border services actually did charge you customs), they lie and say that you can't. I've had 1 too many run ins with them and Fed Ex over that crap and every time it's from sellers sending me stuff via DHL when I didn't want that or asked.

Depends where you are. I'm from the states and I would much rather use DHL over EMS. DHL is quicker and acts more like UPS because they hand deliver as opposed to going through USPS

I have a question for anyone who's direct ordered a preorder item. I've preordered one successfully before, but the final payment for my second time (different dress) came a lot sooner than I expected and I won't have the money to pay it off until next Friday.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-11830257611.3.W7BM7j&id=522710447898
This listing says the deadline is October 30th? Is that the deadline I need to pay the rest by, or I lose my deposit? Or is that a deadline for getting a refund? I thought I remembered seeing the 30th as the deadline for the first deposit, so I'm so confused. I'd hate to lose out on this dress by missing the payment by one day.
>>8684442
-No deposit refund
-Product shipment starts Oct 30
-Remaining balance can be paid until end of Nov

>>8684442
Oh! Since you're an anon who's done pre-orders directly before, how exactly was your experience? Been thinking about it as i keep hearing TaobaoRing doesn't so pre-orders anymore.
>>8684545
So cute! I'd been eyeing those and a tea set from the same series, but I've been afraid of the weight and breakage potential. Since you've had a good experience, it makes me want to re-find those bookmarks...
>>8684593
Super easy. I was a little worried, but as long as you remember to check back in on the shop (you don't get a message or alert - at least I didn't for either) to pay the remainder when it pops up, it's the same as buying anything else. It was actually my first taobao direct purchase, because I couldn't get an agent who could buy it before it ran out (I found it late). The dress is really great too, so positive all around.
I heard some lolita shops won't sell preorders to international buyers, but I haven't seen that yet. Aside from the one I asked a question about, I have two more dresses preordered atm...
>>8684451

I'd love a little help here. Found these on Storenvy being billed as Liz Lisa shoes. Went through every replica on Taobao and reverse imaged them and can't find them. It's probably a case of the seller tagging them as whatever they can, but it's left me stumped.

Those of you with taobao accounts, is the "new" section of your favorite stores not working? Mine keeps saying "no data, please check shop." Really bummed, this is how I keep up on new releases.
Thought I was gonna start with just a couple items for my first taobao order. Oh well, I tried. The coat was taking so long to make I couldn't help but add on a few more things in the meantime.

I know this shop had a problem with the art being stolen, and the paragraph on their page seems to be saying that they resolved it with the artist and are continuing production? If someone could confirm this I would really appreciate it, because the google translation is confusing me!

link for 33, please?
>>8686929
It sounds like if you want a refund you can request it, and they're taking the reservation down. If you still want it you can wait for it. The shirt is staying up for reservation because it was not printed with the stolen art. I'm not 100% on all of that, but I think that's what it's saying.

AGONY
>>8686776
Sauce for the cute-ass accessories?
>>8687213
Are you using forwarding? Is it saying those two things are "waiting for warehouse storage?"
THis is their code word for something is wrong with your order and you need to contact your forwarder to find out what's wrong. They will not tell you why unless you bug them about it.
>>8685382
Gave it another day because of weekend and my shipping still says "Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)" so I caved and sent my TBR agent an email about it asking if my package had been picked up yet or if it was still waiting to be shipped.
If they haven't even sent it off yet I might just cave and pay $15 extra for EMS.
>>8686886
Good luck with that.
I just sent a seller a message (google translate) asking if they'll be restocking something in my size, but they're showing up as offline.
Do I need to keep the page and the little chat window open, or will it get sent to my inbox or something when they reply?
>>8687253
If you sent it through the actual aliwangwang client and not the web version (I dunno if that still even works?) it'll pop up when they reply like in Skype
>>8687263
Oh, I didn't want to download it because I don't want to risk malware and it's probably bloated anyway.
>>8687243
Yeah, I am. It does say waiting for warehouse storage, but all my other items did that, too, before being weighed and ready to be consolidated.
The two I'm still waiting on have been signed for, "package received success"-- one was just shipped after 3 days, and the other I added on at last minute two days after my original order.
>>8687280
Contact the forwarder. Seriously. This happened to me and both times the seller forgot an item in my order and I had to contact them directly to reship it. You may be running out of time now.
>>8687284
Well, how do I do that? This is my very first time using the forwarding service on Taobao.
>>8687284
after you contacted them to ship the messed up item, what did you do? they give you the listing to buy but then what?
>>8687305
Click on this on the consolidation page to message your forwarder. Give them the waybill number and ask what's wrong. Google translate is fine.
>>8687364
They tell you to contact the seller and figure things out with them.
And yes packages may be backed up but if it's been two weeks there is a problem, and you need to get on it.
>>8687243
Good god. Maybe I'll just stick to using a SS so I won't have to deal with stuff like this, or other things that can crop up and make using the forwarder suck if you don't know Chinese. Also guess it's a good thing I haven't been able to get Taobao working for me to complete an order since 2 months ago.

It's pretty easy to google translate your way through honestly.
>>8687367
Do I download the client to message them? Clicking on that doesn't open anything.
However, it's only been a little less than a week since they arrived at the warehouse.
>>8687429
Looks like it to me.
>>8687450
You can use the web version but the messenger client is more convenient.
It would still be a good idea to message them imo. I've never had this happen just because they were slow, it's always been because of some sort of problem I need to fix.
>>8686983
Comparisons for misty sky please! And link?
>>8687499
Well, I'll wait until tomorrow and see if it updates.
However, I still can't click on the goddamn consolidation/forwarder message button. It works when I just click under "buy baby" for messaging a seller directly, but nothing happens when I try the forwarder one.
>>8687525
You could try downloading the messenger app then.

>>8687541
Yeah, I did that and messaged the forwarder. I got an automated response, and then this after a bit:
"系统提醒: 客服 广东中山速递:小苹果 将为您服务"
I understand the first part, before the second ":" is just listing the name of the forwarder, but the last bit, I don't really understand with google translate..
>>8686170
this PLEASE
>>8687429
Holy shit, link please
Does anyone have any idea which brand this set comes from? I'm really interested in the middle cream dress but it's sold out on himi store and the fucking watermark means I can't image search it.
>>8687626
I'll translate this for you when I get back from class, if you don't get a response by then.
Does anyone else need anything translated? I'm not a native speaker, but I'm level three so I understand most things.
>>8688134
Anon, the text is japanese....
>>8688176
uhm, eh, sorry for not being as smart as you bitch
>>8688178
You are forgiven. Now learn to distinguish between japanese and chinese.
>>8687369
yea, i mean after contacting the seller, they have you manually make the shipment right?
>>8686776
whoops just realised i left fleur antoinette in there from my main mail collage. that certainly ain't taobao.
Does anyone know of a navy velvet capelet that either has no embroidery or gold embroidery?
>>8687618
Oh wow, that's literally the same blouse I was looking at that but they took down. I guess they took it down because they wanted to relist it with newer pictures or something. Anyway, thank you so much anon, I appreciate it!
>>8686170
Yeah anon, that's nozomi. I'm not sure I can translate the rest though but I think it's something about ordering extra accessories and waiting time if you want custom sizing.

This is all I could find anon, It looks like the pre-order was earlier this year so the link doesn't work anymore.
So now that every SS has gone to shit, is there any that I can trust? I guess I could always use taobaospree, but it would be nice to find a another SS with a lower fee.

Link to 31?

Link to that purple OP?
>>8688550
I've been using ebeebuy recently and had very good experiences with them!
>>8688550
Why have they gone to shit?
>>8688276
Yup. The seller will send whatever they left out, then when you go to consolidate the forwarder will have you buy extra weight from a listing in their store to cover it. They will explain it to you.
>>8688852
yea, I've done it before but they always seem to tell me i did it wrong afterwards, so I'm trying to see where I might have gone wrong since I can't tell from the google translating haha
Do you buy the weight listing and then tell them that you've purchased it? I've done that before but they still forgot to add on my package anyways, or they sent out the consolidated package before seeing the message that I purchased the listing
>>8688550
Just had a good experience with spreenow if that helps. 10% fee though.
Anyone know the term for specific high tops like this? Not low converse but ones that reach past your ankles.
>>8689200
Converse high tops.
>>8689216
i think anon knows that, given the filename of their image. probably searching for the moonrunes to search it by
>>8689200
Try 'cargo' hi tops, but then you might end up with shoes that go all the way up your leg. Sorry I cant be of more help
>>8689240
That's better than nothing. Thank you anon.
>>8689216
Anon >>8689221 is right. I'm trying to find hi tops bigger than picture related because they are too low.
>>8687626
Different Chinese-proficient anon here. The second part translates as "小苹果 (Little apple) at your service." Is Little Apple their store name?
Any sauces for frothy lace topped OTKs? Every search term I try just brings up stockings.
>>8689336
are you using the term for OTKs in the dictionary? use that + lolita
Anyone have recs for black wigs that are matte/not overly shiny? Need a wig styled kind of like Kaneki's hair for a group.
>>8688873
Hmm. I've always consolidated and then immediately after asked them how much extra weight to buy, they tell me, I buy it, then tell them I bought it and we're all set. Were you in constant talks with them beforehand? Once I got the seller to reship my missed item I told my forwarder to wait for it. Basically I kept them updated every step of the way so there were no surprises. Not sure if that helps or if I just got lucky.

Anyone know where I can find a melty moon bag replica in black? I've found some on aliexpress in every other color, can't seem to find any on taobao at all, Loris only has the moon and cloud bag.
>>8689331
Not that I know of. That was the forwarding service, and little apple is what I understood, as well, which is what confused me.
Although, all my stuff got weighed and consolidated, so it's all good now!
>>8682400
link for 32?
Anyone have a recommendation for a simple white JSK on taobao?
Everything I find is way too OTT or wedding looking.
Also looking for a brown or white 3-way bag.
Just a more simple one with no overt theme.
What shop sells old school headdresses and headbows? I've seen some that sell headdresses, but they don't look really fit that old school aesthetic if you get what I mean.
>>8689840
I'm not having any luck either, anon. It might be easier to just buy some lace trim and do it yourself.
I was asking a seller about if they'll be restocking something in my size and they said
>不需要 谢谢
to me, which translates to
>You do not need to thank
Did I offend them, should I be worried?

More details on this world taobao forwarding service?
how are fees?

I love taobao so much

Not that anon, but I just consolidated my order for international shipping to me. It's about 3.3kg/6.6lbs, and shipping was about $40 for express. Pretty nice, imo.
I.... I was expecting more cute lesbian shit to taobao..... Is there any specific term to use for LGBT merch that ism't just cheap sex toys tht can be used?
I wanna order a Kanken bag but do you think customs would take it away?
>>8691570
I dont think so because it isnt that well known as a brand imo. Usually it is just stuff like gucci, chanel, LV etc.
>>8691272
I don't know too much sorry, however I am going to place my order today using the guide in the OP (the dropbox link) so I guess I'll let you know then. Looks to be able $20 NZD for the first kg for me, then it increases as you get more stuff, I don't know the specifics though sorry.

The chat window thing that pops up when you click on the blue slime

I'm using taobaoring, they charged me 50 yuan of fees alone, and I bet shipping will be 150-200 yuan for 750 grams

Does anyone know how to look at 11.11 sales through stores? There are some items I want from specific stores and want to see if the 11.11 sale applies to them.

Any Aussie anons use the forwarding service recently and get their stuff sent out with DPEX? My package has been stuck on "released from customs" for 4 days already so I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with DPEX since the fs recently changed from toll I believe.

Oh dear..
Right, thank you
>>8688550
I'm still using Taobaotrends. No problems.
I wanted to ask you gulls a question. There was a burger or something related lolita like outfit posted in a previous Taobao thread. All I can remember is that it came from creammade or a similar taobao shop but it's not on creammade anymore.
I definitely know it had a cute girl wearing burger like t shirt or pajamas.
Please I don't know where else to post this but I am in desperate need of tights, blouses, and socks in this ivory color and not a harsh white. I have several jsks in this color and cannot find a blouse or tights that aren't too bright white. I would be forever grateful if someone knew where I could get some that are actually in stock. brand or offbrand or secondhand it doesn't matter.
My god.. I swear sellers on 2.Taobao ship the items only around 40% of the time..
No Nameless Poem for me..
Oh well..
Why do people feel the need to wear shirts that declare their sexual orientation? Do you think it increases your likelihood of finding someone or something?
>>8692673
If you can't find it and really need it, just use tea to dye a white blouse. Make sure the blouse is cotton and use the right tea to get the right colour. For ivory, I think black or green tea should do fine.
>>8692728
>why does anyone feel the need to wear shirts that declare their like of something????
Does anyone know the link to this Sleipnir replica? I only got this screenshot from baidu and i can't into chinaspeak, so I can't find out the characters of the listing by myself.
>>8692808
Diff anon, but declaring your sexuality in a T-shirt like this is just tacky and reeks of attention whore. It's different when it's a pro-equality shirt or something like that, but one that simply says "I'm gay" is just Tumble.
>>8692915
It's a Chinese mispelled Engrish pajama shirt, chill anon.
>>8692915
i see straight girls wearing shirts all the time that say stuff like "he's mine" "hello future husband" or some other shit and no one comments on those

Here's a picture of the monster hunter jumper an anon requested a few threads back. Its super cozy and fits really well with a lot of room to spare for someone whose 5'6.

Trying to buy this dress, but I can't figure out where the differences are between
>果果二团尾款
and

Tried all methods in the FAQ, but they're all spit out non sense.
Both are supposed to mean Honoka, but what are the extras/differences?
Am I missing another option since there are 24 for 8 characters?

>>8692701
Yup. After years of searching for a certain dress, I found one on there and bought it, only for the seller to drop out a week later. The rate of success and dropping out for me is 50%. I thought I was just super unlucky.
Does anyone know if the world.taobao integrated forwarding service has a service fee, or is it accounted for in this shipping cost (pic related)?
>>8693636
No service fee unless you leave items in storage past 20 days. Which is 1 yuan per item a day.
>>8693719
Thanks dude, one more question if I may;
I'm ordering 3 shirts 3 pairs of socks and 1 wallet so far. I approximated the weight on some scales using some clothes I have around here as 0.7kg, is it likely to go much over that when they measure it? I wanna grab a couple more things but I'll hold off if it's going to push the weight too high.
>>8693719
Is it only 1 yuan per item per day? For some reason I thought it was 18yuan a day, but now I can't find it. I'd be thrilled if it is only 1 yuan. It'd help me when one item is holding up the rest and making it go over.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific, I meant the other one.

Thanks anon! I wonder where the hell I'd gotten the 18 yuan a day thing. This makes direct ordering a lot more viable through the busy season.
...11.11 sale, here I come.
How do I do the 11.11 sale? How do I find out if stores are doing 11.11?
>>8693194
They're both for people who preordered, so unless you did, you can't buy them.
>>8693813
It depends on what service you go with, and of course you'd also have to account for the packaging material. Some services round up to the nearest half kilo, some services use volumetric weight, and some services weigh it and record the weight to the second decimal place.
Is Spreenow down for anyone?
Does anyone know if there are any replicas of precious clover's singing in the rain?
There are hardly ever any sweet ouji items and I can't find the originals for sale anywhere.
>>8686776 here, so after confirming my colour choice (wine red) with TBR several times and waiting over a month for it to be made and sent, they send me this proof picture today. Fuck.
>>8695104
So you jump to replica? I missed it too anon, but they're a tiny indie shop, c'mon. They've re-released singing in the rain once already, so they probably will again. Either wait or check second hand taobao. I will have to do that for their fox dress I missed by two days.
I guess if you are allergic to those options, you could see if a cosplay custom shop will make something like it for you, but if you do that, why not change it around and make it something unique for you?
>>8695328
At least it looks like a pretty coat. anon? That really sucks though, I hope you get it sorted out.
>>8693813
I've found estimating weight to be almost useless desu. Maybe I'm just really bad at it, but if you do it, remember that the things will be in packaging and some shops send you free gifts. I was very confused at how a wig was three times my estimate when it got weighed, but the shop keeper had sent me two berets as free gifts. If you're buying from lolita shops, expect little presents (mostly rings).
Does anyone have recs for shops with good boleros/cardigans for lolita? I'm having a real hard time finding any.
