Help with Taobao? may I join in an order? [MERGED]
« on: October 03, 2013, 12:26:01 AM »
Hi there! I'm looking for someone who is planning on ordering from Taobao somewhat soon, from the US.  I'm not looking for ponies, but wanted to order Lolita stuff. I will happily pay for my share plus whatever shipping.  PM me if interested, thanks! I'm not sure how it works- can you order from any vendor in the same order?

Help with Taobao? Non pony

I'm trying to order a few things from this seller, but the prices don't seem to be the full price. How does this work? I'm looking to order the black Night Dream coat, the Mozarabic Chant in blue short, or maybe the Lost in Sea Blue Op.  I don't even see sizes... Can anyone help?


Thanks!

Ok, so first thing you need to know is that you can't join taobao unless you have a Chinese phone number, and they only ship to China, so you'll need a taobao agent.  They charge you, usually a percentage.  I personally have never used one, so maybe someone else can tell you a good one and exactly how they work, but I have heard people say http://www.yoybuy.com/en/ is ok.

As for the stuff on that particular seller.  All the prices are there.  The black night dream coat for example is 1212 yuan, which works out to roughly $200 us dollars. The sizes are all there too.  The only size it comes in is small.  You need an account to see what that works out measurements wise but luckily I do actually have an account, and this is what it told me.

Shoulder: 45cm
Bust: 86cm
waist: 78cm
Hips: 89cm
Weight: 50kg

They look kind of big for a small, so it is possible the translation has gone wrong.  But maybe it's ok. I think a taobao agent might be able to clarify that for you.  Ask them if the measurements are in cms.

Shipping starts at 8 yuan (just over a dollar) and goes up to 666 yuan for tracked with insurance (about $108) I don't have any idea what your agent would advise chosing.  Finally, you would then also need to pay to have it shipped to the US.  Which is not cheap.  I was sending ponies from china to the US and it would cost me $40 to have it tracked and insured, and you kind of don't want it not to be tracked and insured when you spend that kind of money.  China post is not reliable.

Thank you Xeevee, that helps a lot!  I actually thought it was Japanese Yen at first, so they seemed like awfully low prices!  Someone on another forum also told me that most of the stuff is sold out too- this particular seller does pre-sales, and keeps sold out items up.

I think I'll have to hold off for now. Thanks again!

I double checked over in For Sale to see if anyone has an open order and I don't see anyone at the moment.  :huh:

I know there are a few people who do frequent orders so hopefully they see this and can help you out.
