Anyone offhand know of any cheap plain black floral hair accessories like pic related? I've been through pages upon pages of 'floral headdress/black floral headdress/floral kc/black rose kc/black rose lolita headdress' and every variation of similar keywords but have only been finding only either other colours, or more elaborate pricey stuff with all sorts of antlers and veils and chains.
Turned to aliexpress and found the items pictured here, but taobao image searching with these gives me everything from scarves, children's snowsuits, wedding dresses, and horse statues, to, most interestingly, a straight-up chicken (I think they were selling fresh eggs?).

If I have to, I'll just get something off ali but since I have a Taobao order going already, it'd be pretty convenient to toss something like this in without the ali markup.

Both true, I just had a really nice one ordered and it ended up out of stock and refunded, so I figured I'd peek around for a replacement first. Given how many cheap ones they have listed in every other colour, I didnt suspect it would be quite so difficult to find black too, and yet.

I dont think I've seen anything in black at Claire's, it seemed like they've been mostly leaning towards the pastel end of things? But it can't hurt to check, thanks for the idea! Failing that I'll start tracking down supplies instead.

For those of you from the last thread wondering about the Von Karma cos, I got photos back from yoybuy today and overall it's what I expected for the price, not gonna complain. I think it does look like it's the same as the listing's stock pictures, just with shittier gems (I was gonna cast my own to match the jewelery anyways), and in need of some ironing/tlc. Was worried that the jabot piece wasn't included, but both it and a pair of tights seem to be included, albeit cut off slightly by the top left picture. Other pics show that skirt and vest are both properly lined (of course they photographed it backwards here, whoops) and finished, and everything was sent in the proper size.

Aside from casting replacements for all the various jewels, I'm planning on remaking the sleeve cuffs, likely making a bow/jabot with some more volume, and I'll see what else needs modifying/redoing when it gets here.
Debating on whether or not to replace the yellow, thoughts? Unfortunately that godawful big bird yellow is pretty accurate to some of her older art/sprites (pic related), but I'm considering swapping it for something a bit thinner and more muted like in most recent iterations.

tl;dr : bought it as a cheap starting point or fixer-upper and for under $25usd I'm more than pleased with what I got

For non preorder or mto items, how long after buying should you normally start to worry about certain things not having been confirmed as shipped to your ss?
I'm using yoybuy and everything updates when it's pending, when it's been successfully bought, when it's being shipped to them (incl tracking number) and when it arrives. Everything else from my pretty huge order has gone through that and arrived successfully (except a couple that updated as being up out of stock pretty quickly and refunded), but I have 4 items from the same seller that still haven't even shipped out. I checked each listing and there's nothing about wait or order timing, and it's nothing that would have to be made to order, just some basic ready-stock factory made stuff. Am I just being impatient? I don't want to pester them with questions if it's still too early, but I'm a little afraid something's gone wrong if everything else updated so quickly and these are just kinda sitting there

If anyone else is using Bhiner's browser extension add on, and clicking the 'add to cart' button, I just wanted to warn that (at least for me), it says it's added to cart, but doesn't always register.

I just went through my cart after weeks of doing this, only to realize I'm missing tons of items. I'm literally going back through pages and pages of history in my browser to find things.

If you click "open in bhiner" and add it to your cart on the bhiner website, there doesn't seem to be any problem. Not sure if this is a connection issue or what, but fuck.

Figured I'd warn so no one loses/misses out on some of their cute items. It is a handy extension.

nah it's only certain items that automatically flag its system's "sensitive branded item"(possible replica) thing, and even then you can get around it by just adding the money to your account by Paypal and then use said account balance to pay for them.

If you do use them: it usually works the same way as adding an item from normal taobao, but lately it's been a bit janky (idk if it's just me) - it says "not found" when you try to look up a 2taobao item on their search.

These wigs are awesome!! I've already worn them a few times and need to maintain them so please excuse how messy they look here... They aren't that thick but still really decent and the wefts don't show. The bangs are super cute and the curls are gorgeous especially when brand new. They were also packaged with a "scent baggie" (I opened one up and it looked like potpourri or tea leaves) so they both smell really good. The blonde one's color isn't that flattering on me so I might try to dye it but I love these wigs, definitely one of the nicer wigs for the price!

Galaxy tights: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=537675115966
Black tights: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=526553263549

I'll post photos of these later (possibly in the new thread if this one sages) since I'm wearing them out later today and can get better photos that way. These are my favorite purchases out of the order and my favorite Taobao purchases ever. They're nice quality, the little stars on the black tights are actually a bit glittery, and very stretchy. The crotch area has a little white thick fabric area (if that makes sense) you know the ones that nice tights have. The prints are gorgeous. Seems well made enough that I can throw them in the washer and the prints will stay fine. As for fit I am 5'3", 95 lbs, and there is definitely both length and weight to spare. They're pretty stretchy without sacrificing the print opacity.

Mark it as £50.
You'll get hit by customs, but it'll probably be about £30.

SpreeNow domestic shipping is a 15 RMB flat rate per seller.
They only accept payment in HKD, and I think they use current exchange rates.
Don't know about the rest.

Spreenow does not have a limit on warehouse holding as far as I'm aware (I've asked them to hold things for me and they've said they'd do it for as long as I need). They do not mark down. They take paypal, western union, and wire transfer. They use current market exchange and are paid in HKD. They do not do item photos.
Note about them:
-pretty good english
-Have web chat system
-can do custom orders thanks to the notes section
-One of the few websites with SSL certification

Thank you both, this is really helpful! I knew they were one of the well respected ones and had to be added in, but either their website is missing a whole ton of information compared to other services, or I was just really lost trying to find it. Either way, will definitely add this all in in the morning when I'm back at a computer

Since the SS spreadsheet doesn't really mention it, who do you gulls usually go to for replicas? I read the FAQ about how DHL might be better, but the harder part is finding a good SS willing to rip off tags and such.

I wanted to buy some things off of taobao, but I've heard horror stories where even indie brands were confiscated.

Its not really hidden. My last purchase was, local currency, $120 and I was charged $136 when I went to the paypal add money link. You see it and all that.

In my experience, yes. I'd been using tbr mostly but just switched for my last big order after realising that despite yoybuy's higher ss fee, the cheaper 12cny instead of 15 flat rate shipping more than cancelled that out, and then the better exchange rate, lower paypal fee and bigger ems discount ended up saving me quite a bit, even before that $10 off new customer coupon thing they have.
(Plus I kinda like that I was able to earn another gull $$ by using their signup code thing)

Ah that makes sense, thank you. It was late and I mostly just meant hidden as in not mentioned upfront when it explains the fees, not as in actually unnoticeable

>> No.9478779

>>9478771
Ah, yeah I'm pretty sure its hidden in that sense, but they say theres the paypal topup fee so Iguess that could count to the contrary.

Question to all Taobao Anons-

Have anyone of you ever use the direct bank transfer / Western union to pay an SS?
Is this reliable/safe?
