fair enough

i currently use spreenow, they always reply quickly and answer requests/questions you may have. i also prefer their cart system as i feel it gives me a little more control and i can communicate what i want better

have used taobaospree in the past, but their system irks me. it's annoying to have to download the spreadsheet each and every time emails are exchanged and i feel like there's a higher chance of miscommunication, even though their agents have a better grasp of english

both charge about the same EMS rates and 10% fee i think

That is what I tried to do for the OP SS sheet anon. I take in the reviews I've seen only and put the info down summarized. You can see the feedback of each individual review links are right there.

So, I ordered from Surface Spell this really cute jsk. I wanted the jsk in green. Spreenow tells me that color is unavailable, I then request for burgundy. I should have mentioned the burgundy solid and not the floral. My SS never asks. After a month of waiting, my SS finally get the dress, and it's not the solid burgundy I want. I know, it's my fault. I should have specified. After waiting this long, I am just going to take the floral print. However the green and the solid burgundy were my top 2 choices.

for group orders i always use spreenow, it's easy to see the prices of all items and the domestic shipping charged. i tried to divide final shipping by factoring in both what % of the order was each person's, and the type of stuff they bought
still ended up about $10 out of pocket though, since my stuff ended up not being as heavy as i predicted, and some other girl's velvet dress weight a fuck ton
so in conclusion, even the best planned GOs are shit, even if you're organising and have more say kek

it could work, but if the package gets stuck in customs or lost or anything you would be screwed. you also have to have it packed and shipped at the right time to make it in that window of time. if you miss it you would have a bit of trouble but I imagine picking up a package is a relatively easy ordeal, don't count on speaking much English though.

I still think they either sold it off or they just threw it away. Something had to have happened for the two of them to conveniently forget they even borrowed it from me.

>inb4 it was nearly 10 years ago, get over it!
There's no way I could wear it now even if I did have it, but there's so much sentimental value there that it just still pisses me off that to this day they still act like it never even happened.

I wanted to buy from taobao now finally. I wrote taobaospree, Cici was very nice but from the moment she gave me a quote I'm asking myself how ordering from taobao is worth it.

I've bought a few expensive items from the indie brands, and it shows my total in my buying spreadsheet as just under 2k HKD, but 'total' jumps to 3k HKD.
Even with the service charge and paypal 'checking' fee and paypal 4% charge there shouldn't be such a high extra cost since it doesn't include shipping, but I'm also really stupid so I've probably missed something.

It's worth is when you're buying things cheaply that you can't buy cheaply where you live. Berets and socks don't really come under that, they're already cheap items. It's when you're buying shirts for 99p, skirts for £3 that you actually make a saving. If you're just buying small things I would generally just get them in a group order (if you can). Think about the overall shipping fee as if it were split per item. For example, a £50 shipping fee sounds horrendous, but when you have 29 items that's only £1.72 an item

There's a conversion to HKD from Yuan happening there. 1,891 is 2,361 HKD right now but when they were calculating it it must have been 2552,85. Then they add a 10% service fee on that and you end up with 2,808.14 HKD. Paypal stuff is just 100 HKD.

Sorry that your views of taobao changed anon

As others will probably let you know its best to get more items to get your worth out of shipping. I will get a minimum of $100 for an order.

Some of the appeal for Taobao is for items I cant really get anywhere else. I'm not sure if you are cosplay or lolita, but as a lolita I adore Taobao blouses and petticoats. I also like the other small accessories I can add into orders (I prefer the hand made stores for this instead of mass produced).

It also depends on what shipping method you used I supposed for international. I always choose SAL shipping and I have in the past used AIR (it was a super tiny order). I think on average I end up paying $40 for SAL shipping

I bought it from this one but I'm pretty sure I saw multiple listings for the same stuff when looking at bedding with the term from the spreadsheet, you might be able to find an even cheaper one?

I'm kind of too lazy to figure it out myself Anon, what is the size for the bed sheets?

I'm assuming a double/twin size or is it queen?

Out of curiosity, what's the proper way to split shipping for a group order?
Someone suggested I just divide the final shipping cost by the number of people in the order, but it can't be that simple?

They had 3 options for the width I think, something like 1m, 1.5m or 2m.

No, don't do that. Definitely do not do that. Split the shipping cost by item weight. Even if you don't know the exact weights, it's not that hard to guess that the person that bought a few small items is going to pay less than the person who got a costume and wig.

Question time!

I recently got back into taobao shopping. Between reserving ninety million taobao lolita dresses and having problems with that, it turned me off of taobao for a while. I'm a bit out of the loop, so apologies in advance if I repeat questions that were already answered.

Does anyone know where you can find cardigans on taobao with nice lace or detailing on the collar? I recall a shop that specialised in that, but I lost the link since then.

Also, does anyone know anything about this shop? I love the dress, but right now they have the listing at 1 yuan and the description doesn't seem to say anything.

Thanks in advance!

Hahaha well thanks, they will please me at least! The avengers assemble! thing is actually just cute masking tape rather than a book, I don't think the seller had any towels, it came from here:

Actually, that's the artist who made them. They had an Avengers one and a Batman+Superman one. I guess they stopped selling them? I found a picture and a broken link on their listing for their out of stock drawstring bags.

I wish there was a shop that specialises with Lolita boleros, they are really hard to find.
