Vivi, Lizlisa, and Coach.
I'm mostly lolita but I love some gyaru items (aka floral things, those winged shoes).
Before this, I never had anything happen.
Taobaoring put Coach at the very bottom, but it didn't matter since for some reason they decided to search everything.
I hate big-brand designer things (Coach, Gucci, etc), but my mom loves that kind of shit so she asked me to get her 2 replica purses from Taobao. At least customs didn't destroy my entire package. They just took those items.

I'm sorry for scaring me. This just scared me from ordering brands. I'm really careful with my order from Taobaoring. That order I paid for that had items confiscated was $800. My last order, which arrived just this weekend using SAL, I spent $1,300, however I made sure not to buy any lizlisa or other brands this time. Lolita items are safe. My order that had items missing was full of replicas and accessories. But it's the brands they know about, the "bigger" brands they care about, that they will take if your package is one of the ones that end up getting searched.
But remember, all packages do get opened.
Opened =/= searching.

>>6636120
You're welcome. I just wanted to clear the misconception some people have. I don't know about other countries, but I live in USA. I'm sure it wouldn't matter what country one is located, as the packages get opened in China's customs. My packages have never been opened in the USA (I've received over 200 packages total mostly from eBay, but only 7 Taobao packages).

Thanks for letting me know! If this was a legit one, I definitely would not have been so careless with it. It was all gooey as soon as I opened it, with I don't know what kind of liquid, so I kind of just tossed it on my face without opening the mask. There was a "tissue"/paper layer and a plastic layer. The plastic layer didn't have any liquid on it, but the tissue layer did and it acted as a double sided tape with liquid.
It felt really good having it on my face.

梯度 Gradient is a keyword that mostly works for tights. So if you type "Gradient tights", you will get results.
For wigs, because 梯度 isn't a commonly used phrase, it's best to type both color names you are looking for. Yes, this will get you a bunch of split loli wigs, but it will also get you a ton of gradient/faded wigs.

That anon is correct about China's tracking. intmail.83.cn or whatever the address.
(Screenshot is in the Chinese version because I speak better than Mandarin than English).
As you can see, the last update from the tracking was "Dispatched from customs."
The first thing that ever happeend with tracking said "Collecting"
A day after, "Collecting" was replaced with "Opening"
Opening was there for 4 days, and then it was replaced by "Dispatched from customs"

Unlike USPS's tracking, everything with intmail is replaced by the next new status.

I'd recommend having the SS stuff the smaller make up items inside of bags or pockets. I had Celestial and Dollypoodle both do that, because they warned me incase the package is searched by customs.
When the customs open it, and the first thing they see right on top is a branded name, they will get suspicious and most likely search/dig through the entire package and repack it. Taobaoring told me this.

Well normally they would have just gone with the lowest dom fee available for that item right?
>2. Domestic fee for the first 1 kilogram will be set as 15cny automatically in the system, and for each additional 1 kilogram will be 10cny. Since most domestic delivery companies charge domestic fee from 10cny to 30cny for the 1st kilogram, such as 10cny, 12cny, 15cny, 18cny, 22cny or 25cny, so we will set 15cny automatically on average to save more time, then can offer faster service.

so 15 yuan each for 20 items ughh.
it says the service fee for mine is 100.41 yuan(the order total without the sale price is 951.21 yuan)

This is my first order.

Hi everyone. I'm someone who had my package confiscated from customs. I never even received it. I am led to believe that this happened because I ordered replica bags from brands. My order consisted of Gucci and LouiVotton, as well as various lolita garments. My whole package never arrived to me. I used SAL shipping and my SS was Taobaoring. I know they shipped the item, they sent me a photo of the box (with the clear tape and not yellow tape like above anon said).
Chinese customs never updated, and USPS's didn't either. The last thing China's customs said was package in "Opening." It never left "Opening" and I wasn't notified that the package was stolen or destroyed, etc, because I never received it.

Be careful of what you buy guys.

Oh, yeah. Taobaoring is sucking more and more each update.
The currency conversion, which may not affect you all very much is a big deal for larger orders. Their higher-ing up the Chinese currency really killed me an extra $100 just from the conversion.
Their service fee has always been stable at 8%, and I hope it stays that way.
And now, the dom fee? I really fucking hate this. A lot of the items I'm receiving are only 6yuan or 8yuan, because they are tiny little bobby pins and other tiny trinkets that are the size of a penny.

Quick guide:
- try to stick to SAL shipping if you can (I believe the maximum limit is 30 kg but I can't find it on China's postal site).

- try to order small accessories/items from ONE (or very few) stores so domestic shipping won't kill you later.

- pick a SS that suits your needs. You have to take into account all the stuff I've put onthe SS spreadsheet depending on your order. I go into a bit more detail about this on the "Which SS to pick" part of the spreadsheet but even then that doesn't take into account EVERYTHING (i.e. forms of payment, taking pics of your orders, the stuff I put in the general checklist)

- I personally like making a spreadsheet of potential stuff I want. I assume the worst (as in domestic shipping will be separate instead of combined from the same shop) and make columns. See pic.

>>6636256
I assume your bag isn't a replica of a BIG brand like Viv or something right? You'll be fine with SAL. EMS won't be worth it for your small order. If you use any other company, SAL will still be opened (BUT NOT NECESSARILY INSPECTED THOROUGHLY).

Hmm, ordering minimum sounds good. How about you shop at these replica shops where they don't specifically put it up as a Liz Lisa replica and instead pass it as their own brands?

Because I've seen plenty of shops doing this: they have their own etiquette and mark it as a replica in the search engine.

There are also clothes from big japanese brands that are so well-known that every one is making it, so I assume these kinds would be safe as well.

I know how you feel. I'm in college as well, and God damn paying $5,000 per term leaves you with nothing.
I make my "big" Taobao order ($1,000) every 2 or 3 terms (1-2 times a year) by eating nothing but Top Ramen and Cup Noodles, and only drinking water. My last order, which left me in many tears - I had stuff taken out from customs. I thought items just got lost when I saw the "Repacked by Beijing China Post" tape, but after reading this thread... They must have confiscated items. I imagine I wouldn't have received any notice since the info would be in Chinese and well, not everyone here is Chinese and/or speaks Mandarin.
The items I had taken were NOT Vivienne Westwood. In my order I had DoL replicas, VW (however it was just one item, and it was a floral printed purse without a logo ANYWHERE), and a bunch of Gyaru things. Well, a lot of my LIZLISA items were confiscated. It just seems too much of a coincidence to say that they lost THAT MUCH stuff, unless Taobaoring packed it all together (which they didn't - each item was put into a separate plastic).
So I've asked Taobaoring with my order to have vague/bland stuff at the top, so when they do open my package, it's not suspicious looking, and thus the chance of them searching through my package is less likely.

>> No.6637108

>>6637094
Bhiner uses the cheaper one (but they use a flat rate unless it's more than their particular flat rate).

TaobaoRing tends to use the cheaper one. Now with the new domestic shipping policy, they will round it to 15 yuan. EMS price on the link is to ship domestically not internationally.

>> No.6637126

>>6637024
Most likely you'll be fine (the SS doesn't matter, the shipping method does).

From the post that anon had about their package, it was opened (and in that case checked thoroughly) because it was shipped via SAL.

Most if not all SAL packages are opened by China's customs but not all of them are thoroughly checked. It depends.

That won't necessarily stop your own country's customs from checking your package for replicas but that's a whole different discussion since different countries have different rules.

Read their policy about the flat yuan versus heavier stuff because it depends on the weight of the item:

Also, keep in mind that sometimes items from the same store can be combined shipping domestically.

VIP discounts is sorta like being a member of a particular store to get the discounts. You'd have to ask the SS if they are VIP for every single store that has VIP as an option...so it depends and that's why I have not added it to the SS spreadsheet.

This is a long shot but maybe since they serve different countries, they'll have different conversions depending on what country it is being shipped to before being confirmed (this is just a wild guess). Or for a "conspiracy" idea to just throw out there: they keep it in RMB so you don't do the conversion yourself so you overspend and wtf at your order once it is confirmed.

If you suck at math, just use a program to do it. I don't like doing the conversion manually so I do spreadsheets (like the one in the budgeting template I posted earlier in this thread).

Or google it as the other anons posted.

Yeah, of course, but I was just curious. I wonder if they undergo training? Because a lot of the fake goods on Taobao do a damn good job at faking it. I actually saw a site where you can buy genuine Liz Lisa labels to sew into your clothes... I also got a fake LV bag from Hong Kong for like 50 bucks, and not even my biggest bag snob of a friend can tell.

I'm not so sure why they're so stringent about it, anyhow? There's a lot of copyright infringement going on in China. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I was lead to believe that it's just a normal thing over there. Why don't they have the destination country take care of it? Can they get in trouble?

Hm, I'm just really curious about the whole process...

More pressure from countries like the US/EU lately to clean up their infringements.

Technically yes but new orders will take a while because of backlog. This goes for any of the SS.

At this rate, the dress that I found but lost three times due to it running out is going to run out again. Sigh. And I'm not even sure if I can buy it now. I'm just not meant to wear that shapeless nightdress.

Pic very much related.

Goddamn. I've had an order sitting in with them since way before the holiday and multiple questions I've asked them, but they haven't dealt with anything. It's infuriating.

Ignore the other person who replied to you. This is a correct foot chart.
I'm a size 7 - 7.5, so I always go with 38/39.

Replicas even have tags. My replica lizlisa stuff has the lizlisa tags. Same with my muchacha bags.

Oh, I meant pricetags, not brand tags. If the item has a brand/pricetag with a price that's much too low for the brand, it's obviously replica.

Why do you have to troll every Taobao thread with your lack of knowledge on the existence of boobs? I had a C cup when I was 90lbs and now that I'm 100lbs they're bigger. My family is tiny with big tatas.

>> No.6639647

Very rare.
It's called proportion.
Boobs = fat.
Fat people = big.
Why don't you understand this?
When I was 90 pounds at 5 foot 6 (I'm Asian), I was flat.
Then when I was pregnant, I went from an A/AA to a C, however I was FAT (I lost all my weight and now I'm back to an A).

Why else do people always mock asians and call them flat. it's because theyre so tiny and skinny/petite. whatever you want to call it. if youre obese, yours are going to be big. if youre tiny, youre going to be flat. good grief people.
