it's been over a year since i've used spreenow, but they have always marked down my packages when i asked them to. have they changed their policy?

>> No.9479664

I recently placed a somewhat large order with TBR.
One of the items I ordered sold out after I paid them, and that was almost the same amount I would have paid for SAL shipping, so they used that and shipped my parcel.
Only, I didn't want them to send it yet cause I wanted them to mark my parcel down.
How screwed am I? Do they mark down automatically when you haven't asked?
I'm bummed about this cause it's a 300 euro parcel, and customs are so greedy over here.

Oh god so I'm on vacation right now away from home but scheduled one of my orders for SAL shipping the other day, since shipping estimates all said 1-2 months. My parcel shipped out on Tuesday the 9th and everything seemed to be going as per the usual/expected schedule until I just casually checked the tracking this morning and apparently as of Sunday the 14th it had somehow already arrived at Canada customs? In literally 5 days? Normally this would be a blessing but there's not going to be anyone at home to claim it for at the very least another 3 days or so so I'm crossing my fingers that typical Canada post delays and parcel hell actually intervenes enough for me to get it myself.

Do any other canucks remember how long they hold parcels for you at the post office after failed delivery?

Different anon. I've had these shoes before but I don't have any on hand to photograph so I'm doodling on your pic, sorry OP!

>red line indicates where your hooks go along the strap, underneath the buckle part
>blue line indicates what stops the hook from moving any further, keeping it in place

If you need your shoes tighter or looser, just move the buckle from one hole to another then connect the hook back to it.

When you put the hook on the strap, the buckle should hide the hook and the elastic strap part should be hidden behind the shoe strap.


>SPECIAL NOTE
I couldn't tell from the photo which direction the straps were going so I may have it backwards and if the hooks slide off or something, just put them on the other end of the buckle. Whichever way it takes so that if you tug on the shoe strap the hook hits the metal piece on the buckle and doesn't go any further.

Postal anon here,
Canada will hold packages at the post office for 14 days/2 weeks after they've attempted delivery/left you a slip for pickup.
You can also try to call the post office it will be held at with the package details and let them know you won't be around to pick it up until "XXX" date and they might be nice enough to hold it for you until then. (you'll have to closely monitor the tracking for this as the package wouldn't be in their system yet until it actually reaches Canada)

I wouldn't worry about it too much though as Canada post has been severely backlogged ever since the last Christmas season and are still struggling to catch up with making timely deliveries so it's not very uncommon for packages especially ones from china to arrive pretty late right now.
One of the main sorting centres for mail coming into Canada from the Asia region is in BC and that one is the one causing the backlog and the effects are felt across the country as most of the mail coming from Asia goes there first.
I've had things come from japan with SAL only after 3 months when they normally should take 1 maximum (they always did before), and little things from china arrive around the same timeframe - UNLESS they paid for a better shipping like EMS- those methods are also a little bit delayed but a lot less so than the cheaper shipping ways like SAL, registered airmail,etc.

That's what I'm worried about desu. Them taking the money, saying it never came and being shit out of luck.
I'm thinking of maybe trying it out with a very small amount first to see how it goes but even then...

The reason I'm considering it is because the SS I used stopped taking Paypal so now the only option left is Western union or a direct bank transfer and I really liked using them in the past when they had PayPal and to have to find a new favourite just sucks but it looks like I might have to because I'm really unsure about the whole transferring money over to random Chinese people thing even though I've had good experiences with them in the past .

No shine at all! I was super surprised by how well made they are. They don't have combs sewn in to keep the wig in place though. With both wigs I got a complete wig care package. Two combs, a wigcap, bobbypins and haircomb clips, times two. The long wig has a really nice gradient in the top for the roots. Both have a lot of volume thoughtout, but are still flat to the head.

Ah okay thank you anon, this is really reassuring.

Don't lose hope just yet on those small packages that are missing.
I've had that happen too where I was waiting on things from November and they only got here in March so you never know they may still come but get a refund if possible for sure to cover yourself as it's not a certainty of it, just saying that there is still possibility of it showing up even after this long.
Canada post gives priority to the more expensive shipping methods so the same packages can keep getting thrown off to the side to make way for taking care of the higher class ones that are giving them more money.
A lot of sorting centre employees also just dgaf and if a package gets jammed or otherwise accidentally enters the pile to be shipped somewhere farther away rather than closer to you, it will take even longer as it is making its way back to be sorted correctly the next time it enters a system (hopefully).
A problem has lately been happening with some areas/sellers online who shop with the cheap methods where packages aimed for Canada are being returned to them by their customs -most good sellers will message you to tell you this and refund you but some might not and just hope you forget. I don't know what the deal is about this though, just that this specific thing has happened to me 3 times in the last month with sellers in the Asia and not just China.

Testing out yoybuy since buying a replica blouse among other small things. A little worried I saw "Sensitive Branded Object", but my paypal payment went in just fine.

Also, has anyone used DHL for Buynosaur? I tried asking for a quote and they kept dodging and saying to get speedpost. I was desperate and needed it fast for a con, ended up spending $78 for 2.2kg shipping. Is this normal? Usually I only buy a few things from Taobao so it's never this bad.

So I just received these two dear celine blouses in the mail and I'm not particularly impressed. So far I've loved all the DC blouses I've gotten which is two other styles besides pic related in multiple colorways. The XL size is always a great fit for me (fatty Chan plz no bully) but these have a really awkward fit. Because the sleeve is two layers of sleeve the inner sleeve is way tighter than a long sleeved lolita blouse should be. Since overall the blouse is very form fitting with the tight sleeves it also gives a weird fit in the armpit (?) area. The black one is the worst for me and I don't even think the thing fits my shoulders properly. The white is a bit better since I guess the size variation from garment to garment. I also found the sleeves to be a tad too short for my arms.

Normally I wouldn't post so much complaining about the fit. But since I've had good experiences with DC before and the measurements for these blouses were similar to the ones I already own that do fit, i thought maybe this would be informative to someone else. If anyone else got these in another size I'd be really curious to hear what you think of the fit. If it's weird or not

Whelp, I just finished putting in my latest taobao order, and I got so much stuff that it wouldn't even fit in one shipment.
I thought the limit for the warehouse was 35 different stores per shipment, but it's actually 20. Oops.

Mostly just getting a bunch of stuff for summer/work. I was planning on going to ACen but then it didn't work out, so I just kind've threw the money I had saved for that at taobao instead. Here's some terrible mspaint collages for you.

First up is a bunch of cardigans/tops. I like to wear casual lolita at work, but I only have short-sleeved blouses from bodyline right now and I'm not really a fan of the stiff cotton they're made of.

They could be selling lead in a tube if they wanted to, because unlike legit pharmacies, there's no guarantee that their shit is checked.

And if, lets say, a customer got really sick or something from one of their products, then they don't have to take any responsibilities other then maybe giving you a refund

I'm a 70H. The bras were actually a little bit larger than I'd have expected, but not by anything major. I'd probably order a 70G next time just to accommodate that. They're very low cut, so if you need a bra for a low neckline they're good for that. They're also padded and push up but for some reason only one pair had an insert in it while the other just had space for an insert.

The labels were in Japanese and it seemed like the shop only had 1-2 bras in each listed size so my thoughts are the bras might have been factory defects.

The ivory bra was surprisingly pretty, it was my second choice colour but it has glitter woven through it whereas the mint does not. Both pairs of underwear were a little too small but I mostly bought the listing for the bras and I'm trying to lose weight anyways so I don't really care.

I loved the otks until I got to the lace, I was pretty disappointed to find out it was raschel lace. In the stock photos it looked like bodyline-tier tulle lace which would've been way better than sparsely ruffled raschel lace.

Despite that, the print is still nice, the fabric is light and stretchy, and the elastic doesn't cut into my thigh. It kinda feels a bit loose actually, but I have chicken legs so that's probably why.

The beret fits pretty snug on my head, I was a bit worried that it would be too small because my head circumference was just within the measurements of the beret.

The quality is kinda iffy, the colour and embroidery look beautiful (there's even embossed details) and looks a lot more sturdy than in the stock photos, but it's made of a sorta thin felt which is a bit fuzzy. Also, it's supposed to come with a pin but mine didn't. I don't know if that's the store's fault though or my SS.

I was pretty surprised at how nice this is, considering I got the cheaper option which google translate called "undesirable lace". The lace and embroidered crosses look nice, and they aren't shiny. The fabric is nice as well, although it wrinkled a little. The ribbon is thin but long, and is not shiny. There's only one hairclip (the other option had 3) although the headdress is lightweight so one is enough. The headdress goes from ear tip to ear tip when worn; I put it beside a bodyline headdresses to compare size.

I'm so annoyed right now. So Taobaofocus just cancelled a large portion of my order - all the things I was ordering from Soufflesong and then some.
Last night 1 of 3 Soufflesong items was cancelled and the other 2 were fine so I thought maybe they had legitimately run out of a fabric or something - but today all of my Soufflesong song items were cancelled! And now it's too late to change the order again.
So I think they automatically cancelled make to order items. But some other items that weren't make to order were also cancelled even though they seem to be in stock, and other items from the same seller are ordered. When I use their cart function or go on the Taobao site and click the size/colour of the items it had seemed there were plenty in stock.
I've already paid the first payment which covers the price of all the items, when an item is cancelled the money you have already paid goes to the 2nd payment (which is shipping). But my Soufflesong items are way more expensive than the little things they are shipping. So I have 170+ that is left over, and I can’t use it with a different agent because it’s stuck with Taobaofocus now.

It does, but I hatteee the way tracking updates for Singapore Post. Spreenow says that it takes 3-7 days for Singapore EMS but my packages left on 5/25 and I have yet to get them...

I find sometimes it does that when you open certain mobile links on the desktop version. Make sure they're in the usual desktop format and it should go away, if it's the same problem

I'm pretty sure I've seen this question in the past but I was too dumb not to save the answers.

Does anyone know the source of this bag? I'm in love with it but I've searched every keyword I could think of to no avail.

Just double checked to make sure I wasn't using mobile links. Even just going straight to the TB homepage is redirecting me to tmall.

I can access my user TB page fine but when I use the search box/click on any items it'll go straight to Tmall. Weird.
