I'll review most of everything, I will also take a photo swimming with everything hah.
I'm also using SpreeNow. They have higher shipping rates but the customer service is A+ so imo it's worth it.
For those of you who still want fukubukuros, BoBon21 just released their LPs.
Anon who bought a Toradora uniform cosplay a few threads back, do you you have the link?
I've tried searching for a toradora cosplay but I can't find any
Found this store while going through the Love Live cosplay tag. Thought it would be with someone's interest in the thread!

Any suggestions for cardcaptor Sakura swag? seen a few things on storenvy but that inflation, I am lazy but nah

I'm curious to know how long they're closed for too. I know it says for the season, and they will be releasing a print soon..can't seem to find any info on it.
has anyone got any links for cute, basic cardigans or boleros? i can't find a plain dark brown one for the life of me.

I fell in love with this wedding invitation. I checked several taobao shops, but all of them are sold out. I did a reverse google search and found an aliexpress link, but it's almost 3x more than it is in taobao. If it sold out on taobao, does that mean it's sold out everywhere and this is a scam? The aliexpress shop has a 91% approval rating which seems low.
Anyone ordered from FantasySheep lately? The cosplays there look great but I've heard they've had a bad rep in the past for late shipments/not getting ordered items.
>>8836316
I got their Love Live hoodies in my order last month. Took them about 5 days to arrive to the SS and they are nice quality
>>8836316
Keep in mind any normal delays will be even worse now due to Chinese New Year, as factories, warehouses, and ports shut down for it and sometimes a little before and after.
>>8836125
>does that mean it's sold out everywhere and this is a scam?
It could be that they are a reseller who has leftover stock.
I asked customer service but they couldn't really give me an answer. What is the difference between these shipping options?
>>8836842
Not much. They are shipped with different services from different places and with slightly different travel times. Just get the cheapest one 2bh.
How much time do Global Direct Shipping EMS take to prep and ship?
>>8837251
To add on : I already paid for the EMS shipping to the USA and it's on "wait a library" ?
>>8837256
Means it's pending shipment.
>>8836844
Which one is the fastest though?
>>8837373
EMS. Sometimes DHL is an option & this one is the fastest but also the most restrictive on what you can ship.
>>8837373
Wait, didn't read correctly. Thought you meant in general. the fastest would either be Guangdong or Hong Kong depending on where your ss is.
Hi everyone. I'm sorry if my question is really stupid, I've never used Taobao before.
I can speak Chinese semi-fluently. I was wondering, could I message a seller and ask them if they would ship an item to the US so I wouldn't have to go through a shopping service? Will any sellers do this if you communicate with them in Chinese?
Thanks guys.
>>8837488
I've done it before. Usually sellers that also have an ebay shop are willing to do this since they deal with shipping to other countries anyway.
>>8837490
Awesome, I'll message a few sellers then. I've seen some of them take Visa and also ship USPS. Is this a good indication they would be willing to ship to the US?
Do I need to create a taobao account to be able to do this?
Was it a pretty smooth transaction for you? I apologize for all the questions. Like I mentioned, I'm very new to taobao. Thank you!
>>8837262
Thank you. Do you know where I can check the overseas order number? I'm trying to navigate using google translate but it doesn't help too much
>>8837506
... honey, if they ship USPS they have to be in the US??
>>8836842
when i've gotten the cheapest one from spreenow, it only took a week to be delivered which shocked me.
no point in buying the super expensive ones t b h, the cheapest ships fast anyways.
>>8837506
If you have an email address for them you can just message them directly to place an order, otherwise you need a Taobao account to message them. This post in EGL talks about it, though it's a bit outdated. http://egl.livejournal.com/17987707.html
The last time I did it was with Fantasysheep, I think. Everything went well, the person they had handling their email had good enough English for us to be able to communicate. Got my stuff after about a month and a half, so pretty normal turnaround time for Taobao.

Also, does anyone know what to search for to find Hyperdimention neptunia stuff?

The search term is "景品" use the dictionary next time.

I wasn't wondering about the term though, I was asking if anyone knew about any good stores that sell decent quality figmas, since some stores sell really badly made and wonky ones.

Anyone have any personal favorite flower shops that aren't on the spreadsheet? I've loaded up on huge summery flowers but feel like I should ask before checking out.
This (should) be my last big haul for a while. I'm especially excited to receive the ouji sets, because they're gifts for my SO. It might take a while to get the white one though, because it's a preorder.
Is it worth it trying to buy directly from Taobao for 1 item or should I just make a regular small order? I do need some accessories for Holy Lantern...

Any shops or links for chocolate themed legwear? My usual shops aren't giving me any results.
What is the general time frame for preorders?
>>8840006
The global shipping services rarely give you a usable tracking number, it's typically a waybill that's scanned at random points.
Latest order, everything came through except that pink bag, I got the link off of an anon on here and ordered it, waited forever and eventually asked SS to message seller and whoops out of stock ? oh well.
>>8840350
Sure! It might take a while to get to me though, because it just got shipped out yesterday. Here's the link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=43261801066
Most of the options are sold out though, because this was a preorder.

I decided to try out Buynosaur because they were having a 10% off all orders made during January. So far they've been great to deal with (Really wonderful agents with good English and a sense of humour!) and they're also willing to buy from the secondhand area of Taobao. So far I haven't gotten a quote because they haven't been able to contact all the sellers due to CNY, but they've been very nice about it.

>>8841135
According to their website the fees are usually 12% for basic and 15% for premium but at the moment they're at 8% and 10%, so I'll most likely go with the premium this time (I'm getting some small handmade things+a secondhand item as well.)
They have the info on their page

My order is in!
The cat dress is coming in from Ali still because it sold out on taobao.
>Randoseru
Great quality, I love it.
>Pink Dress
Heavier than I expected, it'll be good for colder days.
>Kokokim replica dress
About as good as I expected for the price, it's a light peach instead of pink and the print is that cheap iron-on deal that comes off easy. They sent me a pin with a pikachu on it.
>Pink shirt
It's alright, same iron-on applique as the dress
>Safety Shorts
They're alright, thin, I was hoping they'd be lined but it's no big deal
>Cardigans
I think they sent me a smaller size than what I ordered, it fits fine but I wanted them large. My monkey arms juuuuust fit.
>White skirt
It's pretty good, thick material etc.
>Socks
Good as socks can be, the purple is darker than you'd expect but not too dark.
>Cat Sweater
It's great, but feels like a cheap sweater?
The material is good and all, and so is the lining, but it's stiff and feels like those sweaters you get at walmart, if that makes sense. Maybe it just needs washed/broke in.
If anyone needs links hit me up, internet is being terrible but I'll link you as soon as I can!
I'm starting to question Taobao's forwarding services.
First a whole kigu disappears and now a single shirt weighs 1.5kg on its own.
>>8842680
>zhongshan
can't say I'm terribly surprised. if you're willing to use aliwangwang, I'd try asking them to recheck, because that seems more than a bit off.
>>8842680
I had issues with my last order with them (zhongshan) listing the weight of some items as higher than it actually was. When I contacted them about it, they admitted that the weight was wrong (and gave the correct weight) with no trouble, however I would need to contact them about changing the price during consolidation.
When I did consolidate, I asked them about changing the price, which they did...except the adjusted price still didn't correspond to what the actual total weight should be. I had to pester them again about it, after which they changed the price to something a bit better, but still not the proper weight (total was 5.078 kg or something, so I was prepared to eat the charge for 5.5kg, but the end price I paid was 6 kg worth)
I think I'll still continue using them for now since the only alternative forwarder seems to have mediocre ratings (and only ships UPS to Canada), but if they keep this up, the money saved through forwarding isn't worth it.
>>8842692
Clicking the little face icon for zhongshan keeps making me relog on to Taobao,
I don't think it's a browser issue since I've tried on both chrome and firefox.
Is aliwangwang the only way to contact their consolidation service?
>>8842729
I had the same issue, the only thing that solved it was downloading the aliwangwang program on my computer and chatting that way.
>>8840266
Link to white ouji set?
Has anyone bought this OP from Dear Celine? I was wondering if the color is a more yellow-y ivory and if it runs true to measurements.
I thought this was getting pricey until I checked flower prices at hobby lobby. Who do they think they are.
Shouldn't have stalled this close to cny though...
>>8841076
Another Buynosaur anon here, I didn't know they did secondhand Taobao orders too! I'll have to remember that if I find any dresses I like.
>>8840266
Link to blue heel, bunny heel and black heel and basket bag please?
>>8841529
That's the same thing I was wondering. I wanted to see if they were going to offer the matching bow accessory thing as I didn't snag one last time.
Also, has anyone ordered from HMHM lately? I know back in the day they had a rep for being slow af but I'm looking for custom blouses and they have a few I like.
How easy or hard would it be to replicate that cat lingerie set? Is the top just a tube with a cutout?
The original product sizing is too big for me, so I'm considering making it on my own.
>>8843243
It would require interfacing to have the cat cut out keep its shape.
Alipay?
Wtf am I looking at when signing up?
Anyone who's into nanchatte, what are your preferred stores especially for cardigan and ties?
My current order! Does anyone know of any good shops with bread-themed items to match the dress?
>>8840780
...IT was a bit high..with DHL $189 but I had $50 on my paypal for selling some old bodyline so it made it less expensive for me. DHL gets to me within like 3 days so its not a big deal .

I was gonna suggest kerakerak/Cake Love maybe but it seems their shop is suddenly almost entirely empty...all i have otherwise are links to that cheap toast backpack that always comes up or a bunch of things listed (annoyingly) exclusively on etsy/aliexpress
also wasnt sure whether to ask here or tumblr, but if your order isnt finalized yet would you potentially be willing to add in one item for a fellow toronto gull if i were to paypal you upfront for all fees plus a bit extra as thank you?

I downloaded the program, but I couldn't find zhongshan for some reason.
Luckily, I got a message from the taobao seller themselves saying they sent the wrong package, which is why zhongshan weighed it weird.

you can find their aliwangwang on the forwarders list (they're 中山EMS)
https://www.taobao.com/go/chn/transit/price.php?spm=az1314.20150122.0.0.suZg30
and I would contact them and try to explain as best you can what occurred, because otherwise they might just confused and/or misplace the replacement item the shop is sending back out to you. I had a zhongshan horror story in one of the earlier threads where I got sellers to ship out missing items, only for zhongshan to be all "????" even though they had clearly received the replacements and had signed off on them. eventually had to just give up and tell them to send everything else and forego including the missing items in my order, because they could not be assed to figure out what happened to them.

I paid for EMS/DHL for taobao direct shipping and it seems like its just taking a regular amount of time to process and ship. It's been a week and it just left Hong Kong I think
>>8843123
im having trouble looking up the flower shop using google, would you mind linking me? Sorry to trouble you. Good choices!
So, have people here actually used Buynosaur?
I see almost nothing about it online, but I don't want to use taobaoring or bihner, and my old favorite shopping service is seeming iffy this time around
Any good experiences with them?
>>8844323
>8841076 here. I'm using them at the moment and so far they're the friendliest SS I've ordered from (The picture shows some of my communications with them.) Things are on hold with them for a bit because most of Taobao is off for CNY but I'll keep updating here with their process.
>>8841076

Pretty much what all anons say. Their language is very good, their communication is friendly, respectful yet has enough room for a joke from time to time. They're also very responsive to questions, although I don't know if they can keep up that level of communication in busier periods, or once they start getting more famous.
They were also very punctual to let me know that my seller, who originally said they'd send my things out before CNY, changed their mind.
The only thing there's left to review is actually receiving my order, but if that's also okay, they've got me hooked.

Just wondering if anyone could clarify for me about info on a deposit page.
>另:跑单或其他原因导致的衣服不要之类定金不退!!

20套成团,样衣年后放出~
Is this saying that if they don't meet the minimum orders then you don't get your deposit back? Or what? I couldn't really make out what the conditions were. I think the second line is that they don't accept returns or exchanges for accessories? The last line is that 20 is the minimum? Stuck on the very last part, when in the year are they planning to manufacture/ship out..?
I've never ordered from taobao before and while I have everything sorted out, I don't really know what the "VIP" tag means and if I can still order the product.
http://world.taobao.com/item/523738694309.htm?spm=a312a.7728556.2015080705.14.sucDvw&id=523738694309&scm=1007.12006.12548.i44048727820&pvid=0002ad02-0026-493e-a3a5-c457066044a2

I'm not 100% sure about the last line, my chinese is a bit rusty.

I stuck with the spreadsheet flower shops because so many other sellers didn't specialize in flowers or craft stuff so I didn't trust that their flowers would actually look decent.
Most of them are from here

>>8844830
VIP price just means that if you (or an SS) has VIP status with the shop, usually from buying some X amount of stuff within a year or whatever, you get the discounted price. you can still buy items with the VIP tag without having VIP status, you just pay more.
pleased read the FAQ in the OP if this is your first time ordering, it goes over VIP pricing and lots of other basic things.

Click on the links shown in step #2 there. Use chrome to translate the drop down options to request a refund. There should be one for item did not arrive. It's actually really simple, you don't need to write anything yourself. Alipay will make a decision in 2 days. It is pretty much always in the buyer's favor.
When would be the best time to order after CNY? Like maybe February 20th or so? I know that different stores come back at different times, but I just want to avoid the annoying mess that usually comes with them coming back from CNY.
>>8839147
http://www.maxfactory.jp/en/mxf/
http://www.goodsmile.info/en
>>8845935
CNY is February 8th and about 100,000 people in the factory areas are stranded due to bad weather just trying to get to their family homes so who knows how many more are stranded for the same reason in different areas. I would think that would effect when people return (at least shop owners who can afford extra days) and if the situation now is like when everyone will be rushing back to the cities, it's going to cause some delays then too.
tl;dr I'd wait until the last week of February in case weather/mass travel delays people coming back and once they do get back a lot of them who sell via other platforms like ebay and amazon on top of taobao will be swamped trying to catch up with international orders along with Taobao orders.
>>8845950
This is exactly the information I needed, thanks anon! I'll probably wait until I get my tax return mid-March, then.
So spreenow is like buychina (where they're a direct reseller you only need to pay them once?) Is it cheaper to use spreenow or use a TB agent? It
s been a few years since I made my last taobao order.
>>8845959
You mean is it cheaper to use a 3rd party (non-taobao) forwarding service or use a shopping service?
Technically it's cheaper to use a forwarding service since you're only paying for international shipping instead of that plus a service fee for them doing the ordering for you.
But, it comes down to whether or not those few extra dollars are worth the hassle of having to make a Taobao account, talk to sellers directly, and not have your items inspected before they're sent out.

Will do! crossing fingers its as "good" as people say.
Buynosaur order came! Shipping was estimated to be 7-14 days and it's just a few days shy of the max estimate. Everything arrived fine despite tracking not working once it left Hong Kong which I figured would be the case.
Overall I'm super pleased because the whole process they were amazingly helpful and patient with all my questions and the few errors that happened along the way where their paypal invoice for me didn't show all the fees I had to pay so I paid what it requested which was just for the item fees and not their fee or domestic shipping and they happily waived the fees for me until my items arrived and I paid them then. So yeah, they paid out of pocket for my items instead of making me wait until their system was fixed so I wouldn't have to wait another day or two to get my items bought.

Depending on how lax your definition of affordable is, I'd reccommend qminishop, OnceAponACookieTreat, or dollfoodminiatures. Mintmarbles has a cute ring that was posted in the bread thread too. And found some really cute/realistic baguette earrings too, but they're like $35 CAD
Two more non-etsy recommendations too:

If you use a shopping service where you submit the cart for 'processing' (where they usually message the seller or check stock + sale prices first) then they can change it to the full amount before you pay. Spreenow and bhiner do it this way iirc.
I'm about to make my first taobao order in forever. Is bhiner still safe to use?

They don't have reviews yet because it's still a preorder IIRC.

I used bhiner in December and in January for big orders and theyre good!

Thank you, kind anon!
So what are some of everyone's favorite taobao suggestion blogs? I'm waiting for CNY to end so I'm looking to add some more cute shit to my cart. I've exhausted the spreadsheet and taobao reviews a while ago, though... So I'm looking for more cute stuff!

I think taobao-finds.tumblr.com is the biggest even though updating is sporadic.

Not taobao, but I just saw them at H&M here in the states. They're a fair bit pricey, especially compared to taobao, but with CNY and shipping it might work out.
How long does Chinese New Years typically go on for for most people? I made a payment to my shopping service who was very communicative on Thursday, then just stopped replying. They apparently saw it, and have not said anything since then.
Any gulls have experience buying a bedding set from taobao? I have a queen size bed that needs deep pocket sheets and I'm not sure what size bedding I should get. Thanks in advance for any help.
Are there any search terms out there that could help me find something in a similar style to AP's sack OPs?

I dunno about other shopping services but SpreeNow says they'll be back the 13th, and most places start working again a week after CNY. They'll probably get back to you next week.
Pumpkin cat's page is gone. Does that mean they're gone for good?

I've heard a few people that were happy with their bedding sets, but make sure to nuke it in the dryer for a while first. You always run the risk of bedbugs from buying off of Taobao, It happened to one of my friends.
As for sizes, Chinese bed sizes and US/European are pretty different. http://www.sizechart.com/home/bed-size/chinese/index.html
You may not be able to find something that fits the size of your bed, or it might fit weirdly. Take a look at your bed's measurements and see if they fit!

I'm using Buynosaur for the first time, they've been replying all my questions even though it's Chinese New Year. I'll post an update once I receive my products!
Are there any shopping services that just forward you your purchases without checking on them. I'm not ordering freaky shit I'm just really uncomfortable with people touching my things in what may not be a factory/industrial environment. Can you ask that they not?
inb4 yes it's ODC

Is there any way to view a store's products if the store has been taken down during CNY? I take very, very long amounts of time deciding what I want to buy so starting now would be nice.
