/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Last night I found the absolutely be-all, end-all holy grail of Lolita relevant border-printed fabrics on Taobao.

And I'm never going to give anybody the link.

>>8344472
SO my stuff is still stuck in forwarding limbo. I'm messaging the forwarder right now but it's difficult with zero Chinese knowledge.

I do like forwarding, but I've had some small troubles each time. Wondering if I should switch back to an ss, but then I see all the stuff going on with places like yoybuy and I start to think nothing is safe.

I ordered an R-Series blouse in January and was told by my SS it would take 45 days to make. Today they messaged me saying it's only available in S, not the M I ordered 5 months ago.

What.

wow, I just tried the "EExpress" shipping and it arrived in only 2 days ! It's always as fast or I had luck?

>>8348368
excuse you

Also reposting from the last thread since it was at the end.

Does anyone have great recs for seifuku? If there's nothing better I really like a couple from To Alice. Price doesnt really matter, but I'd like to stay around $35ish. I'd definitely pay a bit more for something of amazing quality though!

Can anyone recommend some stores that sell pastelgoth/cutesy bondage sets? Specifically looking for a harness or garter belt.

Is anyone else unable to get the SEA/Surface shipping option on Taobaoring right now? I'm about to put in a huge order and was really counting on that cheap shipping...

>>8348368
you probably can't sew for shit.

>>8348368
you know that if you found it it's only a matter of time before someone else does, more than likely others already know about it.

anyone know of any good shops for hats suitable for ouji? In particular, I'm looking for a hat with a shorter crown, but I'm open to looking at other options as well.

Anyone have a link to the worbla from the last thread?

Yes. They're a bit clogged up at the moment but I would recommend taobaoring

>>8349562
Good. I want other people to find it; Not to just ask to be spoonfed and whine when they aren't. It took me like 20 minutes to find. That shit isn't hard.

Never said I'd wear it to a con though anon?

Have my order in and waiting on answers for them.

I'm trying to look for some sheets of paper with laser cut designs. I tried searching laser cut and paper but seem to be getting a lot of machinery or places that will cut designs for you.

Can someone recommend a forwarding service that will repackage my items so they're all combined into one package?

>>8351843
If you do multiple orders with taobaoring, they usually put them all in one package if you ask them to combine the orders.

>>8351848
Do they do forwarding though? or just shopping services?

>>8349848

Taobaotrends. I will forever recommend TaobaoTrends until I have an actual problem with them. Swift responses and a nice shopping cart system

I just did - They stopped using surface/sea shipping on the 22nd

If Taobao forwarding is available to your country, you can just use that (use the blue 'merge' button)?

>>8351605
This is 1/2 cup milk, search the archives
From what I remember anons saying, construction overall is okay--their fairy marine replica was pretty fair quality. The chocolate rosette replica is made of a weird poly material and some parts of the print are wrong/modified.
I think you will be able to clearly tell that the materials are cheaper.

>>8352170
Huge-order-anon here. I ordered a few meters in different patterns a month ago.

Does anyone know what the search term for the kanzashi hair flowers would be? Not having any luck so far

Waiting for stuff to get to the forwarding warehouse anon here.

I've been trying to contact my forwarding service through taobao for days. I'm about ready to just give up. I don't think I'm getting my stuff.

It sucks because it's paid for and the forwarder has received it but they will not allow me to add it to my consolidated order. I am so frustrated I have no idea what to do. My free 20 days storage runs out tomorrow.

AW FUCK those are cute, anon!!! i'm totally pre-ordering the sherlock set they have up.

pics when you get them please!

>>8352331
She didn't say. It is possible that they're just too busy right now and surface is particularly complicated?

>Taobaoring busy and slow right now.
On that note.. I don't know if they give priority to the most expensive orders, but I submitted my huge, convoluted cart 20 minutes ago and they've already sorted out all of my fabric and lace lengths, gotten extra details and ordered 'custom/specific' amounts of certain things (craft supplies mostly.) for me and it's ready to pay for.

I'm super impressed! It's cheaper than Yoybuy would have been too, because they actually adjusted for the discounted prices instead of just refunding the difference back into an account balance later. Like $300 cheaper out of pocket.

A+

>>8355034
I don't know how they prioritise. I think it really just depends on what time you submit it and whether someone is on at that time. I once submitted an order that they calculated to be $500 before discounts and they still took a few days to confirm it, whereas I've submitted a $25 purchase and it's been confirmed within 24hrs. It feels like if you submit the order during their working hours they'll deal with it quicker, but idk

Now that TBR doesn't offer it anymore, is there any other SS that uses surface?

Forgot to say, I'm not sure if you can pre-order. I tried to get the Bucky and Cap set since they're on sale (they release in the Fall) but TBR wouldn't let me go ahead and pay for them. Never done a preorder though so I might've done something wrong or another service will let you.

ANONS, PREVENT ME FROM ORDERING, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS HORRIBLE CURRENCY RATE.

So there's two conversion. CAD to USD and USD to yuan

So finally got in contact with my forwarder. The seller didn't send one of my items. So now I have to go back to the seller. I'm not sure why the forwarder couldn't have informed me of this in the first place....

hmmmm. i uses TBTrends. will report back on if they let me preorder.

TBTrends lets you pre order and get bid items as far as I know.

It says "a price" in the description so I'm guessing 0.68yuan per piece. At least they've got coupons for you to use if you order a certain amount.

Not Taobao, but what SSs have you used for Yahoo Japan? I can't find nearly as many definite reviews for the Japanese services in comparison to the Chinese ones.

I've noticed a lot of costumes on taobao use this scallop (?) edges on their fabric and I was wondering if anyone knows keywords or places to buy it? Or is there a tool that creates this? Bottom left of the picture is an example!

Hey anons, I've been searching for these types of barrettes for a while (the hollow pastel star-shaped ones.)

> 糖果色 星形 (Candy Color Star-Shaped)
> 糖果色 五角星 饰品配件 (Candy Color Five-Pointed Star Accessory) -- which found me a lot of cute pastel star beads and DIY stuff in case you're looking for those!

Most of the items are 1pc per pic except for the socks, hair accessories and other small items. It should be okay since there aren't any brand goods or knock offs from there, right?

My Loki and Thor figures arrived!

Figures: 10/10 for each. Boxes are in perfect condition, only Loki has been opened and that was because the shopping service put my Tiger & Bunny charm inside of it for transport.

Tiger & Bunny Charm: 8/10 It's rubbery instead of plastic like i thought so dust/hairs cling to it easily. The packaging was pretty beat up but I knew it would be since it happened during domestic shipping. There's a medium sized defect in the leg in the rubber but otherwise it looks great.

>>8360904
And back of the boxes. I'm about to take the figures out but the boxes are just too cute to throw away. I'm not sure if I'll leave them in the boxes for display or not.

Hoping this won't rotate. I took out the back panels and folded the tops back and they work perfectly for backgrounds.

As I mentioned a few times, they have a Captain America and Winter Solider coming out in Fall with the same animal designs so I'm super excited to see the packaging for them as well.

The backgrounds for Thor and Loki are:
>Mjolnir
>Lightening bolt
>bone
>fish skeleton
>cat/dog head (not sure which)

And both figures share that pattern background, just in separate colors with the two separate big symbols.

>>8360925
And one last pic because I know I'm spamming, sorry! This is the back of the figures. You really can't tell the animals apart by the ears but the tails are different.

I always order from TaobaoTrends and never had any problems.

dear fellow european seagulls, does anybody of you know if shipping with yanwen is still a thing to savely avoid customs and if it does, does Taobao Ring offer it? i never saw it in their options.

Is it true that stuff shipped by Hong Kong Airmail is exempt from China's customs search? I have a huge order and I'm terrified of it getting seized.

Holy crap...

I have a terrible problem

My package got in customs, something weird since my package value was marked as 18,60 $, ...

But YoyBuy put 1860 $... now I must pay +600 dollars I don't have... I payed with PayPal but my postal office doesn't accept that type of receipt

What should I do, cry, cry more or cry harder?

>>8361540
?!?! Did you contact Yoybuy?!
Don't pay it anon, not til Yoybuy fixes this.
Complain to them, and the post office.
Or perhaps show your cc/debit card transactions.

>>8361576
I tried to contact YoyBuy 2 days ago, they told me literally, that my package left their warehouse, it's no longer their problem. I got "freezed" , so I cannot access to my account ...

About card transaction, I don't have any, I payed with my PayPal balance, I made some draws and ppl pay me by PayPal

I gess I'm fucked

>>8361435

Sad. Just buy it then and hope for the best.


>>8361492

Are you really sure, anon???

*eyes brimming with hope*

>>8361596
Do you have any emails from Yoybuy stating your payments of the items? Print those out.

What's the term for worbla ? I have been hearing there is some good ones

>>8361524
Hong Kong airmail is generally only up to 2kg isn't it?

>>8361618
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I googled it when I first made an order. I saw it, freaked out, and then it turned out it just meant it was with Chinese customs. All of my SAL packages have had that status an none have been opened

>>8361716
Thanks, I'll try

>>8361785

I love you

I never ordered from Taobaoring before, approximately how long does it usually take for them to update prices and stuff?

>>8361862
They updated mine pretty quickly. Within 24 hours or so.

>>8361862
My last order took at least two, maybe three days and it was a fairly basic order from only three shops or so. Others have had less than a 24hr turnaround.

>>8361862
Depends. Since tbr keeps getting mentioned in these threads, they've been getting slower lately.

>>8361868
>>8361875
>>8361889
Yeah I saw the anons' comments about it. I'm not in a rush to get them before a con so it isn't that important time wise. As long as it's not delayed too long, it's fine.
If it says "pending" I have to wait until they update the discounted prices before continue or do I press 'continue" so they can update it?

I've been reading that they have been slow but put in two orders recently (latest one this week) and got the invoice in less than 24h for both.

help me taobao thread
If I submit an order for a custom made cosplay today to taobaoring, what are my chances of getting it in 33 days or on/before july 1st?
need it for anime expo.

>>8362347
Unless you order it EMS from seller and then EMS from SS, it'll be cutting it really close. I had one that I did EMS for and I got it within two weeks or but the costume was already pre-made and I didn't have a problem with customs

>>8359938
review and sauce on everything. everything.
i love your taste anon. It's good taste.

>>8362364
I very rarely have problems with customs so I think I'm fine on that.

It's all on how fast the seller is able to make the cosplay ;_;

Will taobaoring take your request to ask the seller how long it ll take them to sew the cosplay?

>>8359557
Sauce on the shorts in the bottom left corner?

Another fuck up and horrible customer service by Yoybuy, how surprising. Why are any of you still using them?

>>8361596
Also, if you can't get your package, open a Paypal claim.

Hey, I tried searching the spreadsheet but am having a hard time, does anyone know where to find those vw replica shoes with the wings?

I know the second column is bust, third column is waist, what is third column?

>>8362841
Waist.

>Ohohoho!

But seriously, left to right it's bust, waist, hip.

>>8362663
I still have a shirt with them in the warehouse, should I just give it up for lost or pay disproportionate shipping to get it out to me?

>>8361207
Review on Gokotai uniform when it arrives, please!

I need to find a black blouse with trumpet sleeves, similar to the ones Infanta used to sell. Do you guys know any good taobao stores selling them or should I stumble around in the dark and hope for the best?

>>8362874

Leave it there and then file a PayPal dispute. If you didnt pay via PayPal then just let it go. Better to lose a couple of bucks instead of a hundred because of YoyBuy's fuck ups.

Sorry, I'm used to using bhiner and taobaoring, so for those of you that use taobaotrends, how can I delete an item off of my confirmed order? I basically got a ton of items confirmed, because I was suspecting a few of them to be out of stock and would chose from there. I haven't paid for anything.

>>8363347

Haven't done that ever but if there isn't any option for deletion you can just email them directly. Dont forget to include your Order # to make things faster

>>8362649
I dunno, anon, some of the less frilly all-lace varieties look at least sturdier than their obviously only-intended-as-lingerie counterparts. are you looking for something completely barebones in terms of construction?

Has anyone ever ordered clothing (not petticoats) from Classical Puppets? I ordered an op because I was curious, but it's been a month and it's still not in. The page didn't mention that it was made custom, and even my custom pieces have come in like a week and a half ago...

>>8359946
The hat's lovely. Tag says 100% real wool and it feels like it. It came pretty mushed in the box, but I expected that and plan to reshape it with steam. The ribbon and lace around the middle is a little crooked at one point but it's not noticeable unless you really inspect it. I could probably fix it if I felt the need to.
>>8359979
They're really nice quality! The material is a good thickness and the construction is good. A few loose threads, but that's it. I'd definitely recommend them and that store! Only real issue was that SS sent me one of them in the wrong color. It was listed as "smoke purple" and that's what I noted in the color field, but they sent me lavender. Not really an issue with the skirts, just translation.
>>8360421

Which selection includes all the pieces?
Kind of confused because I'm not sure if the last selection includes the clothes as well as the resin pieces, socks, shoes, etc.

any stores or links for cute berets?

Having a slight crisis? Trying to log into taobaoring but it isn't letting me. And when I try to retrieve my password, it's telling me that my username or e-mail doesn't exist.

>>8364760
Website is slow as hell right now. It's probably just an issue with the site.

>>8364766
Alright. Thanks for that! I was concerned that it might have just been my computer having problems, and then when the whole account thing didn't exist happened, I sort of panicked.

>>8364768
I was freaking out because my order wasn't showing.

>>8361185
I've used SpreeNow a couple of times and they're really reliable!
Only issue I ever had with them was that they didn't wrap one of my fragile items carefully when it was shipped, so it was broken into pieces when it reached me...
I've ordered other fragile items since then though and no problems after that - they've probably taken note to be more careful.

>>8351153
Link to navy and white mail cardigans please?

>>8363544
Thanks anon!

Is there a shopping service that only does single item orders?

I split my taobao order into two shipments. First shipment was through EMS and arrived 2 days ago. The other is airmail and I have no idea when it will arrive.

I was a little disappointed by what I received this time.

Cardigan much whiter than what I expected. I thought it would be a cream
Shoes are not white, but a grayish brown and uses velco to attach the strap.
The color of my dear celine dress was not what I ordered (although it is still pretty.) I originally ordered the solid burgundy and got this one instead.

tights are too short.

I think the one item I am happy with is the parasol. That came out well.

>>8362841
I think it's bust, waist, length??
Not entirely sure though anon!

Best way to pay when ordering directly from Taobao? I'm in Australia if it helps.

>>8364953
Was the yolanda bolero whiter than expected or was it the other one? Either way, I'd love sauce on the latter.

>>8365024
I'm not from Australia but iirc one anon from around there said they could buy a reloadable alipay card from their post office or something. If you use the card instead of your credit card, then you can avoid the tiny extra cc fee alipay charges.

>>8364899
Sorry for the wait anon. I had to wait for taobaoring to come back up. But I think you were asking about this one so here it is~

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=43591324045

>>8365024
>>8365115
Oh that was me!

You can go to auspost and ask for an alipay voucher, depending on the exchange range you may or may not save a lot compared to if you use a credit card so if you don't want to go through the hassle of registering for an alipay account, entering the number, and having to spend the entire balance (vouchers come in set amounts) use a credit card.

I've used 4px and ZTO but I don't particularly prefer one over the other. ZTO uses volumetric weight though, so sometimes you do get charged more (I ordered a couple of rubber straps and the weight was written as 1kg because of the package)

>>8365571
Oooh ok thanks! Do you mean the exchange rate of the alipay card? Also for the set amount, can you choose exactly how much?

I've ordered about $410 AUD worth of stuff (including domestic ship) which will turn out to be moderately heavy (some bags and shoes)

I've chosen 4px because it was the first choice.

Does anyone know a good shop for doll sewing supplies? I'm having a particularly hard time finding small shank buttons, buckles and suspender clips suitable for a 1/3 bjd.

I have a friend who goes back n forth from the us to China a few times a year, almost every two months.

Would I be able to use her as a cheaper shipping service for stuff on taobao? I'd feel more secure with her getting my stuff instead of someone just making money off my purchases.

>>8365651
You're going to have to ask her that. None of us can say if she'd be willing to do it.

>>8365654
Oh, that's not what I mean, sorry. She's American - I don't know if that would effect her being able to buy and ship things from china?? Like would customs have a problem with an American citizen importing Chinese products to the US?

>>8365663
If she'd bringing back a skid of shit each time she might have problems, but if it's less than a suitcase worth of items she should be able to pass it off as normal shopping while abroad.

>>8359938
Mind reviewing the dress and the headbow? Thanks!

Since TaobaoRing is no longer doing SAL as an option, does anyone have an recommendations for a service that uses SAL that isn't Pruany or Yoybuy? I've taken a look at the the Taobao SS list but still feel a little lost.

>>8365666
Thanks! I was thinking she'd just ship from where she is, but that might take too long if she's only there for two months at a time

>>8365909
And I apparently am illiterate, they are still doing SAL, just not Surface (which I never really trusted to begin with) Sorry about this!

I'm pretty sure TaobaoFocus is overcharging me on shipping, but otherwise they're pretty decent.

What shopping service do you gulls use?

Has anyone in North America actually used the new forwarding service?

Has anyone ordered from To Alice before?
I'm in love with several of their dresses.

Anyone know what keywords would help me to find a peignoir for lolita use? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to taobao.

Does anybody have links to Tamagotchi clothing or accessories, similar to the series by Omocat? I'm not looking for exact replicas but I don't mind them either.

>>8366851
The Chinese word for Tamagotchi is "他媽哥池" but "tamagotchi" works better.

no shirts, but I found these.

>>8367314
Hate those bitches who whine when they don't get spoonfed.

Take the ten seconds to reverse-image search or type in "Pokemon plush." like the capable fucking adult human you are.

>>8365663
Normally when you fly back into US, they make you fill at this customs form. On this form, they make you fill out value of all commercial goods and can bring in $800 worth without any fees.

What I usually do is just put a total below 800 (although I don't think I've ever bought over that amount) and remove any tags or anything else that will make an item look newly bought.

But generally I've never been stopped or inspected over bringing in goods, so as long as your friend doesn't look horribly conspicuous it should be fine.

>>8367320

> thread about posting and sharing links
> sharing links is spoonfeeding

you and the "lolita fabric secret shop" need to gtfo

>>8367320
Why dont you try doing that and tell me the results you get. Might be the same as mine. Stupid bitch, try it before you talk.

So like does taoboaring not operate on sundays or some shit?
I need them to confirm my order so I can hopefully receive it by the end of june
I'm desperate here ;_:

>>8366145
cute stuff, very cute design... but shit quality---

>>8366145
They are fine, the quality of their printed fabric is odd tho feeling wise.

>>8367408
it says right on the homepage their operating hours hun

>>8359557
sauce on the shirts under the Korosensei plushie?

Does anyone know what the search term for sweatshirt dress would be? I tried a combination of sweater and dress, but didn't find anything.

>>8366145
Yes, it was really nice. Their stuff looks exactly as pictured. There seems to be one person who says it's bad quality and people parroting it, but the stuff I've gotten was really nice.

>>8366145
I think its general taobao quality. Don't go in expecting brand or anything.

>>8367899
try 长卫衣

>>8367363
I get the feeling they're one and the same, their writing style is similar and the level of saltiness is identical

>>8368426
Whoa, they have a physical store? I had no clue!

Ok, crazy question. I've been searching high and low for one of those embroidered satin bomber jackets with all the crazy dragon/tiger/mt fuji etc imagery on the back. I've tried 色丁棒球衫 and 色丁飞行员夹克 among others, but with no luck. Any suggestions?

>>8368672
刺绣棒球衫, and then just hop around using "similar items" from there

>>8368426
Alright, just ordered a whole bunch of stuff.
Taobaoring registered most of the prices at 30Y, but it says it could come out to more on the item listings on the site. What's that about?

>>8368688
Pre order. They're not 30yuan

First time I've had a shopping service ask this for a cosplay. Wonder why that is.

So I was on vacation and completely missed the deadline for the balance on Dear Celine's blouse. Do you think they'll still take the money if I pay them tomorrow?

>>8368856
some cosplay size charts are separated into male and female.

>>8368894
Oh duh. Didn't even think of that since mine is premade and sort of one design fits all.

>>8368451

Does any of you have bought from http://kkestudio.taobao.com/ ?

sHit so I ordered from yoybuy because a friend recommended it to me and now I'm seeing all the problems with it online?? I ordered something that they said would arrive in a month, but then they messaged me and said "40-50 days" with no explanation and I'm not sure if they mean including or not including shipping time...?

>>8370274
That's probably the time it'll take to get to them. Expect a month shipping from china with the cheap shipping or two weeks (sometimes more) with the expensive shipping.

DOES anyone know if its possible to buy only 1 item from taobao shopping services or any that specialize in only 1 item transactions ?

>>8370680
You can buy one item but most shopping services charge a minimum fee so you might end up paying more than that item is worth just to have it purchased.

Just buy from Ebay or Aliexpress if you want one item.

Waiting for everything to be confirmed through TaobaoRing.

>crossing fingers since some of them take days to make/paint
Just to be safe I wrote on those items that I acknowledged they'd take days to a week to make and I was willing to wait.

I just recieved this and a few more things from taobao shop myquanquan. It's very nice quality for the price with non shiny material and detailed embroidery.

>>8366145
I don't know why people are saying it's shit quality. You get what you pay for. Most things are around 30 dollars. It's not bad, but it's not great either. It's fine. Also, it looks like what's in the pictures.

I want to order some pants off of forestgirlfans, but I have no idea what "3 feet" means in relation to hip size. All the other measurements except waist seem to be in centimeters. Anybody know what it means?

>>8370960
It means 3 feet, anon. 3 feet = 91 cm.

Im ordering some premade stuff from Clobba to avoid wait times - and the guy suggested Western Union over Wire Transfer because it's faster..
I can't use PP right now.

Will I get fucked?

Been away for about 1.5months, any recent problematic ss besides yoybuy? Just want to know which to avoid as of late.

>>8371240
Yes and most likely. The pictures from their other listings seems consistent

>>8371359
TBR has been hit or miss lately, either they're super busy or they have incompetent new staff/their regulars are gone (or both) -- if you're in a rush you might not want to risk somehow getting your order put off by 2-3 days by them (after putting in your order, then after paying). some people get a 24hr turnaround, others have had to wait a few days.

they're not problematic in the same sense as yoybuy is with their shady overcharging, of course, just a heads up if you're on a deadline.

>>8371359
Bhiner is pretty shitty too.

>>8371574

I recently bought R-Series To My Lovely Glutton in cream and I'm looking for cutlery themed jewellery and hair pieces etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I've looked through the spreadsheet and can't find anything.

My first "here is my order" post.

Notes:
1. Ordered two colors of the skirt. One grey and one white.
2. The text on the black t-shirt reads "My own heart killed me"
3. The picture of the drawn girl. It's the outfit I've bought (for me that is, not some doll).

has anyone used pruany's forwarding service? any word on it?
