I ordered 2 things using the forwarding service, and when I checked only 1 of them has shipped. I don't want to risk having to pay warehouse fees. What's the best course of action here? I just ordered about 36 hours ago.

Reposting from last thread:
Does the Pastel Goth style have any certain terms to use on taobao? It's not in the dictionary and combining the terms for pastel and goth doesn't really work. I want to buy some stuff for a friend, so search terms and good shop links would be loved. I tried googling it, but almost all the links lead to dead shops.

>>8733143
Wait longer, it's during a heavy rush season and even outside of that items can take a lot longer to ship. You have 20 free warehouse days per item (the counting only begins once the item is at the warehouse), and the fee charged is 1 yuan per day so it's super minimal if you don't have many things. If after a couple more days they don't ship, you can go to your order management page click 'remind seller to ship'. If they still do nothing after more days, contact the seller and ask when the item will be sent.

Chill out, and take your time to look around your order management pages. If you use google chrome's auto translate and the english guides already published for taobao, you'll become more comfortable and won't panic so easily over nothing. Good luck anon!

>>8733299
pastel goth doesn't really exist like it does on tumblr and elsewhere, so there is no catch-all term for the clothing. I'm guessing combinations of soft sister (for the pastels) or ice cream color, and motifs like the crosses, skulls/bones, etc. accessories are pretty easy to search for using the dictionary terms.

From a previous thread, my non-lolita items from forwarding service to usa arrived! Jojo tote bag print quality was kind meh, but it's zipped & lined, so I'll be using it a lot! It came with a free Josuke & stand print. I'll post the mori stuff later.

My order got worse *sigh*

Things with green dot are being shipped this time, heaps of stuff hasnt come in yet, but unfortunately some of the stuff is needed for a Secret Santa event which needs to arrive ASAP.

Undoubtedly I will find more useless shit to buy while I wait for custom items...

In the mean time... I wait for my bank account to be annihilated by the shipping fee.
On another note, does anyone know what the search terms are for those little mini parfait cups for making simulation foods, I can find the decoden pieces easy enough but Im unsure of what I searched last time to find the little plates and cups...

>>8733312
Thanks for the info!

Thank you guys! I wanted a general idea of how long everything takes to ship and etc - I wanted some items for ILD, but I doubt they're going to get here in time, and it sucks.

Uh...this is a mistake, right? How is a tiny selfie stick almost as heavy as a purse?
More importantly, is there any way to contact customer service for Taobao's forwarding service? I don't speak any Chinese...

Having an item shipped to a warehouse usually takes a week, max two. This doesn't count custom orders, of course, where you have to check production time for yourself.

DHL arrives really quickly (7 business days DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON), but charges so much custom fees. EMS took 4 business days for me when I ordered this month. Airmail takes about a week or two. With SAL, it takes about a month and a half (~33 business days by experience).

>>8733633
But yeah, if you haven't placed an order yet, I doubt it will arrive in time for ILD.

I think couple people were interested, but here is a quick snap of the bread dress. To be honest I am a little disappointed with the quality especially with the long wait. The waist ribbon is one length with velcro and some bows are just glued not sewn.

>>8733693
Any chance of worn pics? Doesn't have to be coorded or anything, just want to see what it looks like on a body instead of a flat surface.
How's the fabric? What bows are glued on?

So I've been all over ebay and I can't find packs of them so I'm hoping someone can help me find them on taobao? I need to find a supplier of 60mm jingle bells in both gold and silver that I can order all year round. I've tried searching on my own but I'm either not using the right term or they're just not available.

Also on a side note can anyone recommend shops that have a large selection of fake flowers without stems?

Anon from previous thread, this is what I meant. Using the forwarding service and Alipay has less fees somehow? They used a cardboard box for packaging and I'm located in USA though.

>>8734304
That anon here. I'm definitely going to try out the forwarding service now that I've got my new debit card.

..they do take debit, don't they? I'll have to read the FAQ/tutorials when I get back tonight since where I'm going for a few hours has nothing but 1x signal on my phone. Utter shit.

>>8734552
my debit card is connected to my alipay account and I've had no problems doing forwarding

So I tried to use the dictionary and I must have done it wrong BC it doesn't return any results... I'm looking for a burgundy, brown, dark green, or navy beret with a gold crown, rose, or bow embroidery.
I also am looking for a white or gold heart or book bag

That's not too bad then, thanks.

One more thing:
The two shirts I ordered - one of them has shipped out, but the other one hasn't for some reason. When I checked the store page for that particular shirt, the listing had been removed but the store was all still there and fine. I don't have any messages from the seller in the top left of my screen, and the logistics page for the shirt that hasn't been shipped says
>Seller is contacting domestic courier company.
Should I wait a few days, or contact them and ask if they are getting it back in stock or something else?

>>8734214
I've tried searching
小铃铛 but since it's small bell I can't seem to find any big enough. So I tried switching it out to 大码铛 but that doesn't show any bells.

Links for the unnatural coloured wigs?

Can anyone please help me with this?
I bought a couple of things the other day, and it came to 420 rmb (=$99.90 NZD). I'm borrowing a credit card, and a charge of $156.30 NZD has been made.
What do I do? I've checked Alipay and it only displays the 420 rmb charges, I don't see where the other ~200 rmb of charges came from.

>>8735947
Me again, looking at my purchases, one of the items I bought was discounted from 588 RMB to 288 RMB, but when I add the cost of one of the other items and it's shipping I got to the 588 (so 588 + 65 + 9) = 662 RMB which is 157.85 NZD.
What the fuck am I supposed to do here? I don't want to spend 588 on the thing when it said it was 288.

What's the store? I can check it right now too.

Has anyone managed to figure out how to buy directly from Taobao? I made an account, added my address and everything, but I can't figure out how to register my none Chinese credit card on alipay, the guides I've googled haven't helped quite yet

You have to be at least 18 to use this website.

forwarding gulls, how long is too long when you're stuck in the "wait for warehouse receipt" stage? all of my 11/11 purchases have hit the warehouse, but I haven't gotten the all-clear to actually forward them yet. it's been 10-12 days since some of them have arrived... is this just 11/11 slowdown?

>>8734819
link to the gold collar? and is the purse from loris?

>>8737028
I was >>8733314 and I ordered AFTER 11/11 (like a few days later) and all my stuff arrived besides the custom size an preorder stuff. It was processed at the warehouse within a few days and shipped soon after.

>>8737028
Contact the forwarder and see what's up. There may have been some issues with some of your orders.

>>8734908
Thanks a lot anon!

>>8734263
A-anyone?

>>8737028
Did you use JCEX?
I used them in early November and I had to tell them to process it (many times for 15kg worth of stuff) so I could consolidate my shit.
They were really tardy -- many things arrived at just about the same time but only half of it was processed for me to consolidate them.
I've used 4px, Lequgo and ZTO before and I've never had to tell these three to do anything; they were always on the ball.

>>8734263
You should see a greyed out chat bubble head at the bottom right corner of some My Taobao (account) pages. Click on that and sign in.
Then go to the shop of your forwarding service. Do this by typing/copypasting their name into the Taobao search engine.
You should see the same chat bubble head on their shop page in the info section (hover over the shop name at the top or in the left menu column on the page). Click on the head and a chat window will open up.

>>8737394
I forgot to add, sometimes they take days to reply to messages.
So, really, avoid JCEX when you can.

>>8737400
Please excuse me for asking again,

I used zhongshan. sent them a message on aliwangwang, they replied telling me they don't have any information on one order (??? even though it was marked as received), and for two other orders only one item was received, so now I'm messaging the sellers to see what happened.

annoying, but at least now I know.

>>8737630
sorry to double post, but one store got back to me, and their response to my asking "what happened to my order" was this:
亲,您好,您只收到一件商品,是吗
亲亲,您好,在吗

google translate gives me:
Pro, hello, you only receive a commodity, is not it
Kiss, hello, in it

...huh? how do I even respond to that?

>>8737636
They're trying to be cutesy I think. Sometimes sellers do that. Pisses me off.

>*kiss* hello, you only received one of the things you ordered, right?
>*kiss kiss*, hello, are you there?

>>8737724
after a while I kind of figured that's what it was, but it was still a little bewildering, given it was my first time interacting with sellers. they switched to basic english when I told them I was confused, haha. thanks for the help though.

so far zhongshan seems somewhat inept as far as a forwarder goes. I'm having a back and forth with a seller who I think is trying to tell me that the package was in fact not actually signed for, while zhongshan says it was, and yet they have no information about said package or its location.

my package is lost somewhere in parcel limbo, I guess...

Officially my package is lost somehow in my city. What's the possibility that someone in charge of a different post office took it and it's in their truck?

Could someone please give me a hand interpreting this?

I'd imagine finding 4px on the list of forwarders and clicking the aliwangwang icon from there would work too. it's how I got in touch with my forwarder.

has anyone ever used forwarding service before and gotten a wrong item? I ordered a stuffed animal and they sent one that was half the size (and also half the price). I messaged them but i feel like they'll either a) offer to refund the difference (which is useless because I don't want this tiny thing), or b) offer to resend it (which means I have to pay for international shipping twice, and the item was fucking heavy). Not sure what to do..

Does anybody know where I can find a long sleeve hime blouse??? Thankyou

Has anyone ordered from TaobaoSpree recently? Last year I just sent them a spreadsheet order form, pretty straightforward, but I'm trying to start an order right now and the agent says they no longer support sending payment directly to them on Paypal, I have to go to this shop she linked me to and make an order made of random items that totals the same amount as the items that I actually want. In this case I would have to find a way to make an 898 rmb order out of the things in their "store" to pay for the single dress that I'm trying to order from an actual Taobao store. She put these instructions in fine print too for some reason. Is this really their new normal?

Did Lucaille wig go under or change websites?

It's not the page I'm used to getting. Though I haven't look it like a year.

>>8738879
Look at the links in the OP.

>>8739035
Yeah, their Paypal got fucked or something. It is still legit but honestly, it's just a big hassle now.

>>8739199
Ah, I see, thank you. I was afraid that maybe they did something shady and Paypal shut down their account or something. Probably just my overactive imagination.

Can anyone link me to the jojo tights?? I can't find them on the spreadsheet.

Does anyone know what "there color" or "no color" means in google translated customer reviews?

>>8733314
Late but do you have a link for the jojo bag?

Taobao spree is really fucking up my order big time this time around and I'm currently out $100 or so because they're not fixing the issues. Their weird site to pay gives me no protection.
So I'm looking for another shopping service. I've been using the same agent for so long that I don't know what's the best service to use these days. Any tips or recommendations?

>>8739275
I just started using bhiner and I find it super simple to use, it's the only one I've ever tried, but it seems great

>>8739275
Paypal protection doesn't apply even though you can pay through Paypal on that site? Is it because the items you're paying for aren't the ones you're actually buying? I told the TaobaoSpree agent that I'm going to send them a list of items to confirm the final price but I think I'm going to have to back out if that's the case.

>>8739257
There color means the items color matches the photos or is as described.
No color means the color of the item is not accurate to the listed description.

4px got back to me, I asked if they could send my pictures for my order to confirm that a pair of shoes I purchased was the correct size. Here's what they said

><order number> 在我们仓库
><order number> in our warehouse

>我们无法提供此包裹的尺寸呢
>We can not provide this package size it

Are they saying they are unable to provide photos to confirm the size? I didn't reply because I didn't know what I should say.

Taobaoring dropped the ball... Again. 48 hours after I paid for DHL shipping and still no tracking number. It'll probably not go out until Tuesday :/

>>8739927
A direct translation is: "We can't provide information on the size of the package", which could either mean they can't give you the package dimensions, or they can't confirm the shoe size for whatever reason.

What exactly did you ask them?

I had purchased some shoes in the past, from a different store and got them sent to a person I know through work, but I ended up receiving both the wrong size and color and they've been sitting in their box for the past 4 months.

I'm guessing they don't want to open them because of company policy or something?

>>8742565
Just to be sure, that'd be the ePacket, right? I used that for a package that shipped out on the 18th and arrived today. I think you'll be fine but mail might be moving a little slow because of the holidays.

>>8742533
Mine has shipped and is currently in LA customs, but mine was only like $30 or so worth of stuff

>>8740614
The Chines translation is a bit garbled, but it gets the point across. For future reference, imperatives usually translate better than questions. It might be policy, or something like their office and warehouse aren't affiliated or something so they can't ask for people in the warehouse to open and photograph packages or something.

I was finally thinking of using a forwarding service, but after reading what you guys said about JCEX and zhongshan? Yikes..

Has anyone tried asking the seller to ship internationally? How'd that go for you?

>>8743754
zhongshan anon here, I managed to get the sellers to ship me my missing items/have the seller talk to the forwarder directly on my behalf a few days ago, and today when I sent zhongshan a message about there being any updates (as I don't see any on my taobao page), they haven't replied after several hours. I'm going to try not to use them in the future after this... the sellers are all being so damn helpful, too, it's kind of a shame that the forwarder is the one dropping the ball on the customer service end.

as for your question, I haven't tried that personally, but unless it's a big or established shop I get the feeling they wouldn't want to go through the trouble. forwarders and SSs can also offer shipping discounts (albeit mostly for EMS), which smaller shops might not be able to do, so shipping may also wind up being more expensive for you.

>>8743694
That's what I was thinking. I asked them and it should take about 7-10 days. As long as it's before Christmas, I'm good.

So far they've been pretty good. I like their chat feature. Package was mailed out yesterday I think so just have to play the waiting game now.

Has anyone ordered through taobaospree recently?

I'm trying to make an order, but it takes forever since everything is by mail correspondence. I needed an item in two weeks but I don't think I'll get it in time since I need to confirm everything like twice. Also I can't by directly with PayPal but I have to order random stuff from their shop and pay for them, take a screenshot and then they'll order my stuff??

This is getting ridiculous, what shopping service could I use instead that can order custom sized stuff?

What's the best taobao agent?

Have any anons ever paid for their agent using western union or a bank transfer? I'd prefer to use paypal for protection..But are the rates better if I opt to use one of the above?

>>8745799
There is no "best taobao agent" because each one offers something different. Whether it's discount shipping or lower fees.

I'd love to have some of those engrish shirts or kaomoji ones, but I can't figure out the right search terms. Does anyone here know what to use?

Update. TBR just closed my conversation like that after waiting since November the 11 for a reply. I asked twice since then and asked again today.

The whole story: I wanted to get a custom cosplay and custom boots along with one other item. They asked two sellers and the one with the boots gave the ok and already set up a space for me. The commissioner said they couldn't do the outfit so I asked them to ask another store. TBR gave me the price for the other store so I asked them how much would it cost to add on one item because I wanted to get it. No reply back. Sent them more pictures and my thanks. No reply back. Asked them did they contact the seller again and I got picture related.

I never ordered from them before but I might go back to Taobaotrends even though they cost more. They answer my emails (except now they are late) and even corrected mistakes when it happened.

Things like that don't get to me but it seems like a warning sign if they randomly close emails as well as what happened to anon >>8746218

>>8747145

Is it worth it to place a taobao order if I only plan on getting like $70 of stuff (assuming I don't have anything heavy like shoes)? Or should I wait until I have enough money to place an order of more than $100?

sauce on white lace collar, black shoes with white cross and hand jewellery plz anon!

>>8748000
>>8748075
Depends on your location as well as what kind of shipping method you use. I ordered around 70 dollars worth of stuff and only had to pay like 20 dollars in shipping and fees.

>>8748000
>>8748075
Both of your orders could be 'worth it' if you minimise SS and shipping fees. My biased opinion is that it is almost always 'worth it' to place an order of any size... but here are some things to consider that make creating an order more worthwhile - buying things that are much much cheaper on taobao, buying things you can only get on taobao, and making orders months ahead of a con/meet deadline. If I make orders in a hurry, they always end up costing more because I don't spend as much time finding the cheapest listing, and faster shipping is usually more expensive.

For small orders: pick an SS with no minimum fee and multiple small parcel shipping options (SAL, etc.), small orders are usually economical if you can wait the 2-4 weeks for your stuff.
For large orders: pick an SS with a low % fee (<8% is great, %10 is alright) and big discounts on EMS. Group orders are great if you have heavy items like shoes and coats.

>>8748452
Not the anon who asked but I'm in a similar situation. I have an order of about 150, but I have 3 pairs of shoes. Isn't SAL always more cost effective?

>>8748542
Not always? If the EMS discount is big enough, it can rival SAL.

SAL is definitely risky, but EMS should be fine.

Using taobaotrends for the first time. I've added about 10 items to my cart and 4 of them are appearing as 0.00$ I submitted the order hoping they would correct it, but the confirmed the items but they still say $0.00. What am I missing here? I readded those items to a new cart and still they're all the same.

Another anon who received this same dress yesterday but in mint here.
I'm actually very happy with the quality of it in general. It's a nice, thick fabric (idk about fabrics so I can't say specifically what it is... like canvas but softer?) and the print is crisp. It has pockets too, which is a huge bonus. The construction of it is pretty sturdy and the skirt seems to be fuller than the stock images, but that might be my imagination. The white neckline part is a little shorter than pictured but it's not a huge deal. The tiny bow under that is both sewn and glued on, but the bow clips it comes with are all glued as anon said.
I ordered the blouse it was paired with too and I was extremely pleased with it. It looks exactly like the picture, is made of a nice material. and is constructed very well. That on its own is definitely worth the purchase.

It should be here by Wednesday, so there's still time for things to go wrong i guess, but not on their end at least

Thought it would be a bit baggier with the 106 bust listed but it's a comfortable fit. If you have chunky upper arms the sleeves may feel a bit tight. The black 'drips' are kinda faded, not as dark as pictured. Overall, still cute.

>>8752229
I'm charging the batteries in my camera anon so I can do a proper review. Phone's kinda janky and the pictures are coming out really dark :|

But the stick is built really well for the price. The bluetooth remote comes with a battery and it's easy to use. I have an S3 and my phone picks it up as soon as I turn bluetooth on and syncs with it.

>>8752232
http://world.taobao.com/item/41829184580.htm?fromSite=main

So warm. So cute. My mum lost her mind when she saw them so now I probably have to get a pair for her or let her borrow mine. The sewing job is A+ and it fits really well.

>>8752315
Wish I had gotten the bluetooth one. I just got the basic model with the button on the stick itself.

>>8752320
I think it'll still work. It's just with my model of S3, I didn't get the update where you can use the volume as a flash button with the stock camera app. Had to download camera360 for that. Which is why I opted for the bluetooth remote so my friend wouldn't have to deal with that.

>>8734959
not sure if you'll even read this since it's been 10 days ago since, but I own this sweater (bought it off ebay though) and the quality is nice! it's fleece inside, thick material. the white part is glued on though(or like a sticker, dunno how to call it), but I haven't had any cracks or damage yet after washing it.
Thought maybe you'd like to know.

Anyone found those cat ear headphone speakers yet on taobao?

Dumb question: I've estimated my order to be around 4.4-4.6kg. If I purchase and whatever SS I chose tells me it is a little over 4.5 will I be able to add more things to my order so I don't waste 500g worth of shipping?

>>8752413

My poor mail carrier. Delivering a 10lb package on top of the usual eBay packages I get. Definitely getting them a gift card for Christmas.

>>8753029
When I first took them out of the package they looked rather small so I was worried, but they actually stretch well and are rather thick!

I'm doing a large order via TBR and I noticed they forgot to buy something from the store. Do you think it's OK to tell them or I will sound like a creepy stalker?

>>8753256
Uh no? You're paying for a service and it's totally okay to make sure they do it well.
You're supposed to keep an eye on your order as it comes in anyway.

The kpop/jpop merch are also Christmas gifts for friends and the Tiger and Bunny fansign pins were custom order for I think under $2 each.

All the Free! merch is for my ita bags and the pins are smaller than I had hoped but the rubber straps are super cute and have glitter backing. The Natsume's Book of Friends pin and Free! group photo card were shop freebies.

The school bag and I Heart Candy Sugar tote were from the same shop and the CS one was listed as defective for under $1 so even though it's got pink tinting on the side, I didn't expect much from it. Construction is pretty sturdy though.

The school bag is pretty much perfect except the snap on the inside is insanely hard to snap shut. I tried my hardest and couldn't get it to work so I just gave up since I doubt I could unsnap it without breaking the strap.

The two backpacks were from a 4.7/4.6 rating shop and super cheap so I'm actually surprised how good the construction is. The zippers are very sturdy and the zipper pulls are thick metal instead of the cheap easily bent metal ones I see a lot. They have two sections to unzip and the front decal is I think an iron on? But it's in excellent condition.

I got the pink shirt from an anime shop and it's thicker than I expected given that it seems like every time I buy a tshirt off Taobao it's insanely see through, especially pink ones. Also the stock photos didn't show that there was a design on the back so that was a pleasant surprise except the small ink spot on the fabric.

The two baseball/varsity jackets I got were from an anime fukubukuro and I guess I read the listing wrong because I expected a random anime design on the back but both came plain so I guess I had mistakenly ordered their plain version. I haven't tried mine on yet but the fabric was thick and soft feeling so I don't doubt it's going to wear well.


If anyone reads Chinese, could you tell me what the writing on my pink shirt says? I figured the front was probably "cute" or something but I'm at a loss about the back.

And last picture.

The Fairy Tail eyeglass case is a gift but the Kuroshitsuji one is mine. It's really good construction but has a tendency to try and take your finger off when you close it. Big enough to fit my hipster computer glasses.

The selfie wands I got were the basic under $5 models and I'd never used one before so it took a minute or two to put the pieces together and get it adjusted before trying to set my phone to work with it. Once I got it going, it worked great! The button has a handy-dandy camera symbol on it so you know where to press and the holder itself adjusts pretty easily.

The only downside is that so far I haven't figured out how to angle it so it gets the wand itself in the photo since that would be super neat. They make a larger model of this design and I think that's solely designed for being a prop in the photo along with holding your phone.

Okay, here we go.

I was wanting to wear the replica as pyjamas or something, but I ended up receiving the legitimate dress (in a separate package) on the same day and was instantly underwhelmed. The replica doesn't look awful, but it completely pales in comparison to the original.
I got a little carried away with the detail comparisons though, hopefully it's not too long.

The replica is the navy dress on the left, and the original is on the right.

General construction: As a cutsew op, the original OP isn't lined, and neither is the replica. I can't see any significant problems with the sewing. The shape of the dress is a lot larger on the replica. Even without a petticoat, the original dress is more fitted and drapes flatteringly around the waist, whereas the replica looks more like a sack (?)... the cut is generally more generous around the bust, armholes, and waist. Also, I think the collar part's neckhole, shoulder width and length are all slightly larger. The sleeves on the replica are also 2-3 inches shorter.

Material: The original dress is made of thick jersey material, it's not very see through even with black underneath. The cotton used on the sleeves and collar also feel very crisp, probably interfaced. The replica jersey is more smooth and thin, but thick enough to still be opaque. You can tell that it wrinkles more easily. The collar and cuffs are made of a thinner cotton.

More close ups to come.

Part 2:

Ribbon pin: The replica bow is not removable, unlike AP's. The cross charms are also different. Surprisingly, the replica uses cotton satin ribbon like the original, however the bow is a lot more sad looking and the ends are not finished. Also, there is a button in the center of the neck hole/collar of the AP dress, but the replica doesn't have this.

Lace: the collar and sleeve lace of the original have a sort of synthetic net with cotton thread (if you've owned an AP piece with narrow tulle lace you probably know what I mean), while the hem lace is cotton tulle. The replica almost has the reverse - the collar is cotton, while the hem is a synthetic lace that is a bit shiny. The lace on the hem is a direct replica of AP's design, except it looks and feels much cheaper. The thread is shinier and the net feels very synthetic. The collar lace looks it's attempting to look like the original lace, but failing.

Cuffs: the star buttons are totally different. The cuffs on the original are functional, while the replica cuffs have the area where the buttons are secured sewn to the lace of the other side of the cuff (I don't really know how to explain it).
The original has gathered lace on the cuffs and collar, but the replica does not.

Honestly, it's not that bad - the jersey is pretty comfortable and the cut mimics the original well enough. Considering that the original sells for a pretty reasonable price these days though, it's probably not worth buying the replica.

If anyone would like some worn pictures/comparisons, let me know.

Well my package randomly showed up today, and the slip says it was mailed Friday.. Which is after I opened my claim.

Everything was okay except the most expensive item, a cosplay tracksuit. It's disgustingly musty, and super damp - like it was left In the rain. Yet the bag it came in wasn't wet at all. I left the jacket and pants hanging in my room In an attempt to dry the out and now my whole room smells musty. Also, the hard wear on the jacket left rust marks. Ugh.

Definitely contact TBR about it and show them the photos and tell them about the smell and fabric dampness.

You're going to want to wash the tracksuit asap and then hang it outside to air out for a day or so.

I'm not sure if I can wash it tho, the words are just heat transferred on :( also worried about color bleeding. But I might go for it anyway, the smell is noticeable.

>>8755768
Cold wash on delicate cycle and then hang to dry. If you've got those color catcher sheets, that would work too.

>>8755768
mix a spray bottle with water and vodka and spray it down with that to see if it helps. That's how I deodorize all my costumes that can't be washed and it works wonders.

I havent actually opened this one up and had a good look as its for my friend, but from the outside, it has a good weight to it, it has a little emblem on the front engraved with Sailor Moon (even spelled correctly which is a plus for Taobao!) Construction looks decent too..! Material isn't as cheap as some of the bags I have bought from there so thats always good.. and I mean.. it was like.. $12? Definitely worth buying for that price in my opinion!

back with reviews! my package came in today and I'm really happy with everything I got.
The wig fibers are a little coarse, but good for styling and look very natural. Actually a bit thicker than most of the Arda wigs I own, possibly so much so that i might need to thin it out a bit before using? Overall really satisfied though

The turtleneck is amazingly soft (and really heavy material, will certainly keep me toasty warm in the winter) and fits me like a dream. I love the ruffles! Works great for me, but I feel like the sleeves would be a bit tight/constricting on anyone with average to large arms

Om another non-requested note though, I am absolutely in love with the coat wow. Everything about it is really nice quality, and incredibly well made, down to the tiny details. 100% would recommend

I'm not sure if it's too early to ask, but does anyone know which Lolita, Himekaji, and Gyaru stores that are doing a fukubukuro/lucky pack this year?
