Anon from last thread with the TBT and TBR situation.
>I emailed TBT on the 5th and I still don't have a reply. Last time I emailed them on the 20th of November and didn't get a reply until early December. Emails are slow and this time it was something minor like "China can't view Youtube so we can't use that as a reference."

I'm trying to get like 300 USD worth of stuff and want to make sure that the seller can do all of it/it's on point. At least this isn't a time restraint item but I do want to get my items before Chinese New Year rush. Outside of slow communication there's no problem. They are nice and patient with me.

Taobaoring is a lot worse. I want to get three things, including boot commissions. They closed my ticket twice, (after waiting since November the 11 for a reply and asking them twice if they need more information/anything else until they replied on early December,) and the second time after asking about finalizing the boots commission. They told me today that they need 'more images because the ones I gave them are not clear.'

What I don't understand is why not tell me what images I need then or tell me in advance? Why close my ticket twice and tell me that everything is going good then when I ask for the link to the item in question so I can buy it tell me that they didn't provide a link yet because of bad images? I sent them 20 images in total with front and back.

I wish I knew Chinese so I don't use SS.

For the Anon asking about the pink xbox controller, the build quality is pretty good. I actually thought it would be a 3rd party one but I think it's genuine microsoft. Which for the price, is a pretty good deal. Just had to install the 360 software from MS, did a quick test and it works.

I think by a lot of people's standards this is a pretty small order but oh well! For all of the straps I for 2-3 of each character because they claim to all have minor defects in various ways, so I was worried if I only ordered 1 I'd risk getting an awful one. If they're all ok I'll probably give the extras to friends or something.

>>8757972
It's not been released yet. That anon bought a lot of replicas that are still in reservation stage.

>>8758043
How do reservations work on taobao? I've put in a few orders, and saw something that was on a reservation. Do they contact your SS when it's ready to be paid for?

>>8758057
It depends on the shop, really. For most shops you pay the preorder price first, then the listing for the remainder payment will be up after a while. From my experience most shops don't contact me about it and I have to constantly check the shops myself. I'm not sure how SSes do it with so many orders to keep track of, maybe they tell the shops to notify them.

How do I know whether to choose an SS or a FS?

Anyone got experience with shipping large items (not necessarily heavy, just large)?

>>8758022
Link to bag and all them straps please

>>8758022
Another itabag anon here. I ordered a bunch of plastic charms from a seller who claimed they all had minor defects and got about five of each and they all looked perfect along with two small charm plushies that said the same thing.

I'm starting to think that 'minor defects' is code for something but I haven't figured out what because I got mine for dirt cheap and they all looked fine.

>>8758490

"minor defects" usually means factory reject, which could be really small things like a color that doesn't match the sample, lines of the wrong thickness, and so on.

>>8758319
it boils down to how simple your order is. if there are preorders you can manage that yourself, you just have to check in with the shop periodically like the above anon mentioned, but if there's anything custom it may be better to go with an SS unless you have a fairly good grasp of chinese.

if you're just wanting to pick up an order of a bunch of items you can safely assume are all in stock, you're probably fine using the forwarding service. that being said, if anything goes wrong--like a seller is out of stock of something and just doesn't ship it, or neglects to ship something in a timely manner--it's up to you to message the forwarder to see what's up and/or to contact the shop to have them correct the issue. FS's also may not be able to check or photograph items for you like SS's will, if you're concerned about getting the right color/size/what have you.

>>8757970

>>8757937
Thanks anon. I might try them if this doesn't work. I never had this issue with TBT before so I'm giving them a chance more so than TBR. I bought commissioned worked through TBT before no problem.

This is very helpful, thank you! The spreadsheet didn't talk about forwarding services a lot, which is why I asked. Generally FS are cheaper than SS right?

Has anyone received their Death Angel JSK yet?

>>8758808
with an FS you're basically paying item price + domestic shipping + warehouse rental (if things take more than 20 days or however long to arrive) + international shipping. with an SS you'll be paying an additional commission fee, usually based on the total of your order.

if you're making a small-ish order, the difference between them won't be huge, probably, unless you catch a forwarder when they're doing a big discount period on their shipping (which only applies to EMS/DHL anyway; SAL is only offered by SS's).

if it's your very first order, I'd recommend just using an SS. as someone who's used both and used the forwarding service for my most recent order, if things go to shit, things will go to SHIT very fast unless you're on top of your aliwangwang game.

>>8759345
Also, it only took about 15 days from the time I ordered it to the time it shipped out, but I think they mentioned something about fabric delays in their description which is why people who ordered it earlier had to wait a lot longer than that.

Stupid question:

Are most rubber strap sellers just selling factory rejects or something? Or are they replicated goods?

>>8759449
Itabag anon here and I'm not actually sure. I've bought 'minor defect' ones and then I've bought rubber straps from listings where they don't mention defects at all. So I think maybe it depends on what the listing says? You should definitely shop on Taobao with the mindset of whatever anime merch you see, it's probably bootleg until proven otherwise.

it depends on the listing i think. the ones i bought were from a store that had 3 crowns and ONLY sold factory rejects, and were very open about it. Bhiner just uploaded this picture of my straps and by the looks of it theyre all OK except the top right which looks like the plastic spilled over, which can be easily trimmed. im on mobile right now but when i get home ill link to the shop, and ill post better pictures when they arrive to show how "defective" they really are.

Starting off with Lucky God.

This cosplay generally has a lot of pieces. At first glance it really confused me. Had to look at the store picture to figure out where everything went. To start off with, this cosplay is pretty impossible to put on by yourself. I think it's because it's preset sizing, but I can't even zip up the skirt all the way because it's so form fitting.

Anyways, the rope bow is actually pretty uncomfortable? It's real rope and I'm pretty sure it has wire in it to shape it. So it digs into your skin.

The skirt is attached to the midsection and the midsection has some boning in it from what I can tell but since I can't zip it all the way (zipper is seriously a pain in the butt. Just gets stuck but I fit in it even if it did zip) I can't figure out how well it holds up. The orange lotus part and yellow petals (?) are connected by elastic and also a hook and eye. So you have the choice of tying it or hooking it.

The white top is an easy slip on with a zipper on the side and the orange top that goes over it is closed by hook and eye as well, so that's the easiest to put on. The orange part of the sleeves are velcroed and the white flowy part is pretty much elastic holes. Still have not figured out what direction I should be putting them on.

The hat (not pictured), is my biggest gripe. It technically could fit over the ponytail, but the biggest problem I've faced is actually hooking it in the right place onto the wig. The accessory that was supposed to go on it came with an alligator clip on the back of it (not a smart choice?) so I might replace it with a pin.

Shoes fit just fine. Went a size over since my feet tend to be wide and it's not as big as I thought it'd be. Also not as decorated as it looked in the picture, but it'll do.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it. One of the first times I bought a pre-made cosplay off taobao and fits rather well. Only things I dislike would have to be the hat and the rope bow.

>>8759069
The Cardcaptor Sakura bag is actually pretty decent quality.The prints are really clean and nice, it's unexpectedly big. The fabric's also a really nice choice but I wouldn't be able to tell you for the life of me what it was made out of.

The side pockets are even big enough to probably fit a decent sized water bottle in it.

A bad note would be that when I opened up the box, I could clearly smell something coming from the bag. Nothing rotten but almost like if you had leather in an enclosed place for too long.

So review for this is a 5/5 despite the really bad leather smell. If anyone wants to know anything else about it, just tell me what you want to know!

>>8759115
The shop owner bought the rights to use the art so it's resolved now.

>>8759372
Actually, the lace at the hem of my dress seems to be placed slightly higher, so it doesn't look as penis-y as in the stock photo.

>>8759141
>>8759294
So I bought the beret with the scarf. And the scarf is HUGE. This is insanely huge. It's made of wool (?) I think at least. It's something soft. But I'm not sure how warm it'll keep someone. It's really nice quality with the gold embroidered.

The zipper doesn't work very well because invisible zippers and bulky skirts aren't very compatible. If you can sew well I'd suggest replacing it. Or if you stretch out the elastic on the back, just cut it out with a seam ripper. It'll make your life easier. Outfit looks good on you! I roped my friends into lucky gods and we had a lot of fun in these.

Took three photos in three different sort of lighting. It goes from outside, inside (with flash), inside (no flash).

The reason I chose this wig is mostly because in the stock photo, it looked like it wasn't TOO orange and I was pretty much right, as you can see in the no flash inside picture. Though, it's clear it's an orange color from the other pics.

The wig itself is pretty thick like most Lucaille wigs but the ponytail is definitely a bit lackluster. Thinner than expected, but it's not too noticeable. It's a fairly soft wig too~

So I bought it with the sailor uniform. I will say that the skirt runs small but I mean, it technically fits me. So the sizes were right, but I think I'll listen by going a size higher.

But the coat is really comfortable. It keeps decently warm and but I haven't tried to wear it outside. It's really nice quality and the hood is huge. I'm not wearing the puffs though because one of the pins on them broke. I'm pretty sure it was rusted, but it's an easy fix.

If there's anything you want of close up photos or other things you want to know about it, just ask!

Used the SS to get them from antaina but thats only because I didn't want to split the EMS shipping on the shoes and everything else. The fit is great actually. I'm a 9 in womens and I got a size 40. No pinched toes and they're very slimming.The glitter isn't flicking off and seems to be on there pretty securelyThe bows need to be flattened out from shipping but I have time since I needed these to go with a Precious Clove preorder.

Biscuit Sweater:https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=521070242487 (pre-order)
Waited 25 days even though the rest of my order was done four days after I ordered. I wanted it though. It's very comfortable not particularly thick but definitely well made.

Biscuit Beret:https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=522685358264
I've seen everyone getting them so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it in my preferred color but I snagged one. It fits great with or without a wig and the bow is detachable. Comes with three wig clips in case it's a teeny bit big.

Sorry for the late response!

I used TaobaoTrends! It's my first time preordering with them, but I've ordered other things with them and it's been fine.

Could anyone help my find some pink and white vertically striped thigh-highs? I've been looking for ages and can find nothing.

Help locating some pink x brown chocolate accessories please?

Wanting to buy a T.Law sweaters for obvious husbando reasons, I have no problem finding them, but if I remember correctly, some anon purchased one, and if it's nice, I'd like to have her her link, thanks.

even now that order hasn't been marked as shipped or delivered or anything on taobao. now I'm concerned they're just going to hang onto those two items and try to charge me warehouse rental fees, but I feel like even if I tried to make them send those items to me as part of another order they'd never understand what I'm trying to tell them.

Oh my god, that sounds so awful. Where are you? I'm in the US, and never had more than one option to use as a forwarder, and they've been really good so far.

Speaking of my forwarder, I love how much of a discount the international shipping is. My 15lbs package + 45 days warehouse exceeded rent was only 62 bucks for DHL. Compared to how much my ss agents used to charge (at LEAST twice that) I'm really happy. Now let's see how much this holiday slows the delivery time down. I'm guessing it will be around 9 days instead of 5?

>>8762991
If you use an SS, I think most will make you pay it all at once.

My shopping service had to cancel a large order I made for accessories. Does anyone have any recommended shops for gothic accessories (e.g. headdresses, bonnets, clips, chokers, wristwear)? I would really appreciate it. In the meantime, I guess I'll go combing back through the spreadsheet to double check any shops I skipped before. :'(((

>>8765964
I'm in the US as well, and the last time I tried to cycle through different forwarders/shipping methods taobao wouldn't let me choose anything aside from DHL/EMS, which defaulted to zhongshan. I used them for a previous (non-11/11) order, and everything went smoothly then; things just went to to absolute shit this time around.

they did have a really big 75% off EMS sale until the end of november, but of course I missed the deadline for it and had to shell out full price because they fucked up my order.

>>8765806
fawn fur is notoriously difficult to find on taobao, either as just fur or as capes/shawls/etc. I feel like every time it's asked, nobody can turn up with that much.

Spree Now. I ordered on the 18th of November, and the shop never got back to Spree Now about the orders, lmao. The girl who has been assigned to me to communicate over orders asked if I would be okay with canceling it, and I said sure since literally everything else I'd ordered that day and even afterward has come in.

I'm a little confused, however, because the page of my orders has them listed as Arrived and Checked instead of cancelled, so idk if the order happened to arrive before they did it, or if there was an error or something...

I'm not sure if I'll be happy or sad since I think I've already found some nice replacements for that order, haha. At least I know other shops that sell some moitie blue rose style accessories because of all of my searching!

Does anybody have some links to some cute, lolita shoes in mint? Or the correct search term that'd help me find lolita shoes (or other accessories) in mint? I've tried a few terms from the dictionary, but none of them seemed to work fantastically.

>>8767683
Did you check the fucking shop list?
No probably not.

>>8767547
40, Chinese sizing is usually one smaller than your European size.

>>8767675
If you want to share links I would be very interested! I love Moitie blue.

>>8767695
Get the crust out of your uppity cunt, damn. Have you checked the fucking shop list? Half of the shops listed for shoes don't sell shit anymore, and the few that do, aside from antaina, don't have actual lolita shoes in mint, or only have mint in custom colors, which I don't want to fuck with. I was mainly looking for the proper goddamn search term for the color "mint", along with other shops aside from the one or two shops in the list.

Go be a giant bitch in the ita thread, or some shit.

Don't use off hand Yoybuy and maybe TBR. Some anon had issues with their shipping/DHL/lying and I've had issues with them in general. Waited a whole month with no reply from 'Sydney' for an order and playing tag with Dune right now over some damn shoes. I gave up on them and trying Celestial right now.

>>8767756
Oh, no, I've seen people complaining about them recently. I'm using Spree Now as mentioned here >>8767675

I don't think it was Spree Now's fault, but the shops', maybe. Of course, Spree Now could totally be lying to me that the shop hadn't replied to their messages or something since it is kind of weird that they suddenly got the items all in a day after saying the shop wasn't replying / asking to cancel my order. Heck if I know. I don't mind too much, I'm not on a time crunch anymore. As long as I get everything I bought, and it isn't all fucked up, it's cool by me right now. Then again, this is my first Taobao order, so I'm keeping expectations low just in case.

Did anyone order from this shop when they had preorders a while back? I'm pretty sure I placed an order in October and it was said to be ready in 4 weeks? I keep asking my S.S when the seller would update or ship. At first my S.S said they weren't ready or something, but a few days ago I asked and the seller hasn't replied back? My S.S offered to refund me, but since there was a non-refundable deposit I'm not able to get it back. It's not much, but it just sucks losing money and time. I just want my wigs.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36659910648
honestly it might be easier just to go custom. basically nobody on taobao really tags the important shit, like colors, so you're left to parse through things on your own. the only other option for shoes would probably be to sift through normalfag stuff while adding in filters for heel height, ankle straps, rounded toe, "princess" style, etc etc

same thing for accessories, green/light green/mint isn't usually going to be tagged. you're best off searching with something like "ice cream color" just to get pastel stuff.

Having an account is great though. You can favorite items and track stores so that you can see their new releases as soon as they come out. I've managed to snag stuff that sold out in one day before.

I missed the anon last thread so I apologize for being late on the review! First, you wanted the pom-pom earrings. They're actually not earrings but hairties/bracelets! They're got a bit of stretch to them and the fur is incredibly soft. The charm is really nice as well but I'm always worried about stuff like that being broken so I handle those carefully.

As for the beret, I love it. The ears are a bit more yellow than the base beret but they're heavy and don't look cheap.

As for the lingerie and Sailor Jupiter set, I really like both. The lingerie is all gorgeous and definitely worth the price. The underwear is a bit snug on some and so are the bras themselves, but they actually included... extenders for the back? So if it clasps too tightly, I can extend it to fit. Also, most of these had a SHIT load of padding.

For the Jupiter set, the fabric on it looks pretty cheap and shiny. It's very obviously a cheap knock-off but still very wearable, especially for the price. My girlfriend thought it looked really nice on me and said the material wasn't very much of a big deal because the style was so nice.

Had my taobao order come in today! Here's most of it (hidden some in pics because they're gifts lol). Everything is in the link, if anyone wants any details just let me know.
http://imgur.com/a/68rnX

Also I need some help. I ordered phone cases and they were reported delivered to the warehouse and consolidated together but... they're nowhere in this package. What can I do about it? I used JCEX to forward my package, do I contact them and how do I do this?

>>8773174
Also I laughed because one seller literally gave me star clips and a broken piece of hot glue as a gift lmao

>>8773174
are those berets from ciciworks/sweet dreamer?
Also how dark is the red/wine beret?

Is the replica-chan from last thread still here?
I wanted to get a replica HL OP and wanted to know where she got her replicas. I already own the actual thing, but I'm not keen on spending 700 on a second dress I'm only going to wear casually.
Also, did anyone manage to get the HL printed beret a taobao shop made? I tried to get it, but the listing got taken down.

>>8772822
did it only just get shipped out recently? I think it means it was collected for actual delivery, unless it's already been sent out -- in which case I have no idea.

>>8773174
they're not on the list of forwarders on this page:
https://www.taobao.com/go/chn/transit/price.php?spm=az1314.20150122.0.0.fLKm3t
and searching for them in english only turns up phone numbers and MSN as a way to contact them. searching for them in chinese gives me this wonky-looking (at least for me) taobao page: https://www.taobao.com/product/jcex%E4%BD%B3%E6%88%90%E5%9B%BD%E9%99%85.html

also you can probably guess, but the hot glue is the seller's way of saying to fix it yourself if it arrives broken or needs adjusting in the future

>>8773370
Anon there was literally just a second made to order period for this. You could have gotten the OP for less than $300...

>>8773179
Was it Pink Sailor? I got one of those too. I got strawberry clips from them and there was just... a tube of hot glue. I had no idea what it was.

The quality was really nice, it said it's made out of 100% wool tho not sure if really true. Construction seems nice, only thing is it seems a bit too big on my head normally? Tho if I use a wig and stuff, it'd probably be a nicer fit.

Has anyone ordered or found anything on these two shops? I didn't find either in the spreadsheet and have struggled to find any solid reviews elsewhere.

The two shops are cy-cos and Caca Studio.

I'm looking to order this cosplay but about 15 different shops are using the same image as "cy-cos" and I haven't figured out which shop is the actual source.
Besides the image to the left I found another alternative I also like on Caca Studio's shop but again no solid reviews or images that don't seem like they could have been ripped from elsewhere on the internet.

did you check to see if there are any reviews/photos left by chinese buyers? just from a quick glance the cy-cos link has more reviews, but go with whichever shop has more positive reviews.

>>8775253
tip: reverse image search on google, find a reseller that has other stock photos, and try searching on taobao with those if the first image doesn't pull up anything useful.

So, I've bought from taobao a couple of times before but never from the VIP stores they have. What's the deal with these? Do they work differently, and would a service like taobaoring buy from them?

They're okay, kinda squishy like a dog's toy? And glued with felt and then again with a clip. Still, nice enough to use and improve. The seller was like one of the first ones to ship, I really appreciated it. Seems like an indie shop that likes creepy things. The earrings and the heart choker are from there as well. Hope you like her other stuff too.

yeah, the price will be marked off completely, so not a discount, and it'll have a button that says VIP store - I feel like it means you can join some thing and get discounts but idk if that makes a difference when an SS has to buy it.

I guess I'll find out when I push this order through... but its for this pair of tights I really want and I already had someone snag mufish tights I wanted before I could get them...

>>8776748
american duchess makes custom designed leather shoes (many with leather soles) for reenactors. you're not going to find them on taobao. seriously, these are super high quality....it's not some generic design that has taobao knockoffs. they design shoes based on extant historical pieces.

>>8777066
How new are you? You can buy from any shop, the VIP thing is just that particular shop offering special prices for customers that buy a lot from them and obtain VIP status for frequent buys. You just have to pay the price that's marked out.

So I ordered stuff using taobao's forwarding service, problem is a I think they sent my package via the wrong shipping method? I paid 420 yuan for EMS I thought, but it gives me a tracking number beginning with LP and another "logistics single number" that's just 9 digits...neither of these are EMS tracking numbers, right? And when I paid for shipping, it said it would take "168 hours" or ~7 days, but it's almost been a week already. Pic related is all I get when I track it...please help

>>8773174
link for the black castle tights?

>>8778128
Put the waybill number into a dhl tracking site. It's the one that starts with 980 083, not any LP ones. That's what I've done for all of my orders. I thought it was EMS my first order, but if you're in the USA they actually send it DHL. At least all five or six of mine have been. Also, use a tracking site (trackingex has it fastest) because they never update the one on taobao until like two weeks after you've already gotten your package.

As for the wait time: it's the holiday season. I'm amazed my latest one is coming in maybe a day early, but delays are the norm.

>>8778307
Just noticed your waybill number and forwarder company looks different then mine, so I might be wrong. Still, worth a try! Good luck, anon. I hope you get it soon.

>>8775257
I have the one from the first link, anon. I can't get a picture of it because it's buried deep into my closet at the moment, but it's a decent costume. No loose threads, nothing came apart, and the gold hair pins are sturdy.

I would only warn that the flimsy "gloves" do not have finger holes and the skirt might be short depending on your height. The gold details are also weakly pasted on to the fabric. The latter worked out for me in the end because I bought it to wear as Shigure instead of Yuudachi.

>>8772822
It should be fine, anon. Don't sweat it too much, especially when it's EMS. Tracking info can just word things weird like that.

Earlier I posted about how my package was lost in my city. Finally taobaoring filed a claim to their post office since apparently their policy is two months. Hopefully I can get it back. Lost freaking 800 because of that. Next time I'm going to order the order in parts so it's not a huge target.

>>8778822
Anon i have a huge order are you saying it was customs that took it? How many pieces would you break it up into? Tips are appreciated as my order is about 600 dollars

>>8778833
Customs didn't take it. It literally made it to processing in my city, and once it left, it just fell off the map. So my only assumption can be that someone took it because it was such a huge order.

>>8778878
You know usually l get big hauls and they seem to always make me pick it up never delivery

>>8778128
I just got an order in the mail and tracking to USA was DHL. I was confused too (thought it would be EMS tracking too) and messaged my forwarding service and felt stupid afterward they told me...

Someone joined my taobao order and added around 14 kg of wigs and clothes; I really hope she doesn't expect shipping to be anything less than 140...

How do you guys deal with people who join orders and then balk later at the shipping prices?

>>8780432
Oh Yoybuy is totally fine. In fact they're so good that you'll pay twice for their services.

Do you guys think it'd be cheaper to buy a kotatsu blanket and mat on taobao, or on aliexpress/ebay? I'm probably gonna end up getting the table itself with a built in heater from ebay because at least then I have some avenue of feedback as a safety net, but I wan't too keen on spending hundreds on the futon and blanket if I could find them cheaper on taobao.

>>8780470
>>8780435

I did go through the spreadsheets and look at reviews... But I wanted to ask people who could respond to me?? I don't know..
The reviews I read said Yoybuy was fine or even good, but the spreadsheet said that yoybuy was trying to scam people or making people pay for shit twice, has shitty customer service, etc.

It was just hard for me to trust the site with what I read.. and I've already racked up a cart that is ready to go and YES I AM NEW but I'm not asking for a lot, just a 'it sucks, I would use ______ because it is similar but doesn't scam people' or 'it's fine, i've used it and had no problems' or whatever people have to offer.

I know these companies change so I just wanted to ask you guys because I trust cgl more than I trust random reviews.

The blue dress is beautiful; the bodice is made of brocade and is very sturdy, and the ties are made of the same brocade. The shoulders fall strangely on me, and a few stitches are a little awkward on near the buttons. The skirt of it is some chiffon, and is exactly as pictured, but the pleats at the bottom are a nightmare to straighten out after shipping. It's comfortable, but you need a good petti to get the right poof. I am super happy with it.

The red dress is a bright red, and the lace over the skirt is a little more orange-y irl, but it doesn't take away from it. The wool is soft; I can wear it with no problems and I have unusually sensitive skin. The bow is also more orangey. The rick-rack at the top you can't see very well has some stitching issues, but I felt pretty in it and the wool is nice for the winter.

That's good! I'm glad, considering my shipping will probably be kind of high with all of those shoes, lmao

>>8782336

So I know some of you have been complaining about Singapore airmail taking forever, but I just want to know, there's gotta be an error here in the calculation, right? When I use tbr's shipping fee estimator, this is what it gives me for the tiny order i'm considering....and I'm not so sure I believe that $3 international shipping actually exists.

oh my god nevermind i'm a dummy, i thought the measurement unit was in kg like the other calculators i've used

Why does taobaoring says one of the items are unavailable here? When i go in to the product page it's available and I can put it in taobaos shopping cart

Thank you Anon!

Some stock quantity on Taobao aren't accurate.

>>8785029

So would a separate shopping service would be cheaper than going through the TB warehouse method? I emailed taobaoring about this, but is there a way to get an estimate of the warehouse TB offers?

Hi, sorry this is my first time ordering from Taobao so noob is a bit of an understatement.
I'm trying to get these shoes for cosplay but there's only custom made options (every one I've found is set up like this), I understand the tailored part, I'm assuming I just send a note to the seller with the info they've asked for in the description.
But what on earth do I choose for the 'colour selection' part? Why are there numbers!?
Sorry if I'm being really thick.

>>8785097
Sorry, I dropped a link to the item. http://world.taobao.com/item/45486766994.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.5bEgNd#detail

>>8785097
since there's no mention of color in the info the seller asks for, what's pictured is probably the only colored offered, and the numbers are just shoe sizes.

>>8759698
can you link the store? Ive been looking for straps for my ita bag

Im looking for something like pic related but I cant find the right words and since it's from a very old mangu I wont find it so easily

There's an item I'm looking to get from https://shop124316685.world.taobao.com/

I didn't see this on the store spreadsheet and I'm still a bit new to Taobao.

Does anyone know if this store is good?

Sorry if it's a noob question, like I said I'm pretty new with it.

Hey
my package says:
2015-12-10 15:40:33 您的包裹已被广东中山速递集运仓正常入库。

Does this mean it's in a shipping warehouse? It says for status: 已确认收货
I definitely don't have it so unsure what is going on.

>>8785532
Yes, we get it, you're new, anon.

Read the FAQ in the OP, it gives a breakdown on understanding ratings for shops. Besides that, check to see if an item has any reviews, especially any with photo attachments.

>>8785550
it means the warehouse has your order and it's available to be consolidated/forwarded. all your items have to be put into "storage" and have receipt confirmation in order for the package to get forwarded to you.

>zhongshan
I hope they don't fuck up your order like they did mine

>>8785555
Uh oh... Where do I go from here?

>>8785552
Thanks!

>>8785555
Ahh I think I got it. Thank you for your help. Hopefully being in Zhongshan isn't a bad sign afterall...

>>8785593
don't mean to be a fear-monger, but I had such a frustrating experience with them last time. keep a close eye on your things as they start coming in; if something is stuck in "wait for warehouse receipt" for more than a few days, you might have to start pestering them on aliwangwang about what's up.

Like, are you looking for the character, the style of outfit, what?

Because you can translate the manga name into Chinese and check via that way or just search 'traditional costume' or something to just find the style. There are a ton of ancient clothing costume shops on Taobao.

>>8782969
Literally they only started fucking around the middle of this year, I ordered just before CNY this year and it was fine but then afterwards all hell was breaking loose

"The parcel is returned from the security check, we will reship it tomorrow."

I just got this from TBR, what could it mean? Security check?
