I'm the annoying HMHM anon from the other thread, and at this point I'm sick of their shit and I'm getting a refund.
Bought the blouse, waited 30 days with 0 response, asked them when they'd ship, they said Oct 10th. Oct 12th rolls around, I get my SS to ask them where my blouse is, they say it'll take another 10 days because there was a "mistake" with the item, and I tell SS if it doesn't ship in 10 days I want a refund. order updates and says it'll ship on Oct 26th instead of Oct 23rd, it's officially Oct 27 in the USA and Oct 28 in China, so now i'm getting my SS to get a refund from them.
just figured I'd let yall know about my poor experience :(

For preorders, it'll state on the taobao page when they ship out (eg the purple area here says it ships 2020-12-31), or sometimes it'll be written as "xx 天" meaning it'll ship out xx days after payment. Go back to the taobao page for the preorder and you'll be able to see roughly when they'll ship out. If there's no such purple bar, then it's ready stock and should ship in a few days.

Just a note that it's not 100% accurate, I've had Delusion3 stuff ship a little early, though not late.

If you ordered a set costume from Delusion3 generally they'll come in multiple bags, if you ordered two costumes in one order that will be one box of plastic bags. It's possible 42agent just doesn't want to deal with being responsible for sorting which plastic bags if you decide to split the order, or something.

Your item status will change to "waiting for warehouse to sign" to "waiting for buyer to contract". Click the "consolidated shipping" in the products bought section or the "official shipping" in the left menu (these are the Google translate names) and then after all your items come in you can bulk ship them to your address. For usa its 85yuan for the first 500g and 42y every 500 after. They use the weight of package they receive from the original merchant so it will be too high. After you get your box, measure and weigh it and apply for a shipping refund.

When you go to "official shipping" and check the "logistics order" tab after shipping a combined parcel there will be an option for "complaint/refund". There you upload the pictures and select the option "shipping fee does not match" and "goods have been received". Make sure the box is unopened obviously. Use Google translate to simply say the package weighed less than x kg. You should calculate the volumetric weight (lxwxh in cm /6000) to see which is higher because they will go off the higher #. Wait a couple days and they will ask you to revise your refund request by the specific amount that is over (initially submit for the entire shipping cost). I usually get anywhere from 10-20$ back

Thanks, looks like my package made it to the shipping center so I tapped on Pay Shipping and it was ¥85 for what's marked as "0.04kg". I made it to the payment screen with the shipping converted to USD but then I backed out to check and see if I missed any buttons or options, and when I went back in the selection screen for combine shipping at the shipping center was empty. However I was able to bring up the shipping payment screen again and I paid it this time. Now if I go back to the order status screen, it still shows as order having arrived at the shipping center and awaiting the buyer (me) to combine/pay for shipping but obviously there's nothing there. I assume there's a lag between me confirming payment and Taobao processing it and updating the order status page?

Some taobao brands label that "milk white" or "rice white", and then white white would be "pure white", so I wonder if it's a mix-up somewhere along those lines.

I feel you though. I once ordered a pink camisole and they sent a white one. It arrived right before chinese new year, the shop put up a sign that said they were closed for the holiday just after I received the package. And I didn't really want to rain on some seller's holiday over a $5 camisole even though it was clearly their fault so I just ended up giving that away to some cousin.

Japanese brand/manufacturer, taobao imports it -- depending on which service you use one or the other is cheaper for you.

If you want a Japanese store either Tomato-Nippori will have it, or you can trawl Rakuten (seriously these manufacturers need to start naming or coding their prints already).

On taobao you can either reverse image search or trawl through "japanese import"/"foreign trade" fabric for it.

Etsy may also have some if you want to try trawling "Japanese fabric"

Does anyone else think 42agent's service is really bad lately?

- selecting an item that has duplicate options, but if it's not available in that option you select they just say 'can't buy' and ignore the other selections.
- asking a question about an item, they ignore it and write something about the item itself (and replies are only once a day)
- say they'll buy items on the same day, but in a later message they state they bought the items 2/3 days later.
This caused an item to be out of stock after I paid, and this isn't shown as 'not available' until weeks after buying the item.
The shop had sent out the other items in the order, the item was still showing as 'available'.
- item received is wrong colour, they don't say anything (didn't find out until looking at the photos when it's ready to ship)
- say they'll combine orders, but forget about this when sending shipping invoice.
Asked to combine weeks before.
- from beginning of placing order mentioned it was urgently needed, and kept asking for updates for when the items will be ready to ship from the shops/if they have been shipped yet/the ETA for the items to arrive at the warehouse.
Say they will keep me updated, but keep getting ignored or saying things that aren't relevant to what I asked.

Sorry anons, this has just been a terrible experience.

Took a whole month from placing order for it being ready to ship, with bad communication and no idea what was happening with my order at all.

Switch to Superbuy. They have the best communication out of all the SSs I've tried (42agent, Bhiner, Spreenow) and their service is lightning fast. Superbuy agents are pretty good with letting you know of any quality errors and hounding sellers if they haven't shipped your stuff in a timely fashion.

Side note: It astounds me how often sellers send out the wrong color/size item. It has happened at least once with every haul I've made so far, so I'm glad Superbuy is good about notifying me and negotiating with the seller.

Thank you.. 42agent has been good for a long time so I'm quite sad now desu.

I understand if the shop mess up, but as the agents buying the items for us, how did 42agent not notice it wasn't the same colour I ordered? My package is going to be even more late now.

They even had the nerve to say they'll get their colleagues to check it's not the colour, like what? The link/item details and everything is on the order page, even a blurry picture shows it's a totally different colour to what I asked for!

It's just a shame since this order is part of CGL SS, it's going to be a really late addition for my giftee.

I decided to remind them it wasn't correct instead of just shipping it as is so that I can wash my hands of them once and for all after this.

NAYRT but I just made my first order with Superbuy that involved pre-order items. For one of the items they charged me the deposit and then sent me a message when the final payment was ready to be paid. For the other item they were going to charge me the full price upfront, but I was able to do the deposit first, final payment later. So it probably depends on the agent that gets assigned to you, but it seems they can do either if you talk to them about it.

As far as marking down the package, when I submitted my stuff for shipping there was a box where I could input the value I wanted to declare it at. I'm not sure if this is a permanent option or just right now during covid, since a lot of higher-valued parcels are getting hit with customs fees, but it's something you can do..

I bought a christma-y nanchatte set from them. the clothing was super nice and the cardigan super thick, weighty and nice feeling. only complaint was the skirt had a black slip/underskirt (and it wasn't needed, the skirt was a decent thickness). the circumference of the underskirt was way smaller than the skirt itself, so I had to remove it so my hips had room. definitely recommend them.

Alrighty, so

This petticoat is just the right size I wanted, my other ones deflated a bit so I needed something with a bit more body. I got the 8M, I'm glad I didn't get the 12M, it might've been too long (I'm only 5'1" so I'm sure it would've looked awful) I never bought from Aurora&Ariel before so I hope it lasts for a while.

>insert pic of me wearing it

The blouse is WAY better than I expected for how much I paid. It's not scratchy, the sleeves are a perfect length and the neck stretches far enough to slip on easily.

As for the knit items, I have no complaints (everything is soft and relatively warm) but I do have a minor observation. The cardigan quality from Little Dipper and No Worries is pretty similar lol. If you want to save a couple of dollars and see that they have the same color, go for No Worries.

Mmmh, strange. Out of the 5 China parcels, all were shipped after 11.11 and the first to ship out made it to my country, but the others all stopped at one of the transition point (leaving Guangzhou for Zengzhou, mostly), so maybe there's a lot of parcels ahead and they just haven't been scanned yet.

However, shipping from Japan to my country (France) is fine, I have 3 parcels which shipped since the start of the month, 2 Small Air Packet and one normal Airmail and only one has yet to arrive to my country. I guess it might be different depending on where you're shipping too...

Well, thanks for sharing your experience too. I don't really mind waiting, as long as my stuff gets there eventually.
