My giant winter wardrobe parcel (11kg... hum. XD") finally found the way to my arms! :´D
It got caught by the customs, as I already mentioned here... I must say: The processing was really fast after I sent them the documents they asked for. Of course I`ve got to pay fees (just normal for 11kg of clothes and such. xD"), but the amount is pretty fair.
So kind of a good first experience with german customs here. =)
Anyways... I´m going to write a review now! =3
SHOPPING SERVICE: TaoBaoBuying
I already ordered with the help of TaoBaoBuying before, so I directly asked their shopping agent popeye for help, since I already had some good experiences with him.
♥ REPLY ON MESSAGES (5/5)
He does reply very fast, the max. waiting time for a reply was 2 days (over the weekend). His english is really good, and I think he´s trying to write sentences very easy to comfort the customers with rather poor english. =) well, that´s at least my feeling about it. xD
♥ HANDLING PROBLEMS (5/5)
If you once ordered from TaoBao, you will be aware that several problems might pop up - such as sold out items that are still listed at the shop, quality problems, sold out color ranges that are not listed... and so on.
Since my order was really GIANT due to a group order with my cousins, there were issues one after another. xD" Popeye and his buyers were really busy with connecting between the sellers and myself, and it was even harder for them since I replaced items or added new ones very often.
But they did a great job, by no means! I´ve been always informed very quickly, and popeye even offered me a payment plan! Yessss, that´s why he´s my fav. shopping agent. :´D
♥ FEES (5/5)
TaoBaoBuying does take 10% of the items + shipping cost, which is just normal for a shopping service - I didn´t find a cheaper method yet. o.O
If you order from them, you have to make 2 payments. First one includes the items cost + 10% fees for TBB (TaoBaoBuying).
The second payment is beeing calculated after all the items arrived at their warehouse, been packed and weight - to calculate the shipping cost. So the 2nd payment includes the shipping cost + 10% fee again.
♥ PACKING & SHIPPING (4/5)
As usual for parcels from China, the box was all over taped. (plz take a look at photos and infos below) It always makes me laugh, since this is so typical for chinese parcels. xD
They do offer shipping with EMS - which is really fast and good...
BUT... as when it comes to germany, packages that are beeing transportet via EMS China are OFTEN picked out by the german customs - so extra custom fees might appear, and the delivery time get´s extended of course. =/
UPS or DHL would be the better way of shipping to germany.
♥ 19/20 POINTS, TBB love ♥
lol
ITEMS
It would be quite rediculous to write a review about every single item and shop, since it´s just too much.
So I´m only going to give you an idea about the quality of TaoBao items in general - I hope that´s okay. =)
If you´ve got further question about a special item, or if you want to know about the shops from which I´ve purchased them, feel free to ask me! ^^
So let´s get started! =D

♥ My 11kg baby ♥
Just as I mentioned... taped all over. xD"
It was kind of tricky to find a place to cut it open - however, the parcel arrived undamaged, and german customs did NOT open it! O__O"
The inside...
Everything was packed and wrapped carefully!
TBB put the sensitive items (the accessory for example) in the middle of the parcel, to prevent it from beeing damaged - another plus for TBB! =)
Another thing that´s just usual for parcels from China... the chemical smell that´s coming from the items. It doesn´t last for long time, fortunately. ^^"
♥ Group photo of my items! :´D ♥
Jesus Diamante Replica Bolero, fake fur collar, off-shoulder top
Those items all have got great quality by no means!
The bolero is very warm and a perfect fit, it does feature cute details such as ruffles, bows and elegant white pearls!
The fake fur is very fluffy and warm, and look at those cuuuute pom-pom´s!
:´D
The off-shoulder top is pure love! It features soft lace fabric, cute buttons and a pin, and the cut is very flattering!
Lace off-shoulder top, basic white lace border skirt, golden velveteen skorts with lace border
Not so satisfied about the off-shoulder top. The color looked white on the shop´s page, but I got an eggshell-colored shirt. It´s also horribly see-through, so I´ve got to wear a tank top under it at least. =/
The white skirt is a perfect basic, the lace fabric on the bottom ruffles is very nice!
The velveteen skorts are gorgeous! *__* Super soft fabric, and high quality cotton lace in use! The inner lining is satin, feels really nice!
Dusty pink neckholder layered top, fake fur embroidery vest, brown lacy bottom ruffles skorts, random accessory
Again, great quality of all items! ^^
However, the neckholder top doesn´t look very flattering on my big chest. I think I´ll pass it to my cousins - otherwise really gorgeous cut and quality, the white layers feature lace fabric!
The vest is love at first sight! *__* I´ve always wanted such a vest, and I´m so happy that I got one now! The embroidery is flawless, such as the soft fake fur!
The skorts material is kind of confusing me, I never felt something like this before. I don´t know what it is... but it feels really nice! xD" Gorgeous lace cut out on the bottom ruffles and perfect fit, will go super well with the other items I bought. x3
Pink knit twinset, 2x white bow brooches, Jesus Diamante style roses haircomb, pink skirt
Once more, all of the items are wonderful quality!
I´m wearing the twinset right now, kihihi. x3 Super soft knit in such a sweet color, and very cute cut! However, the bolero looks too big on me. I´ll wash it hot next time, so that it will run smaller. x3
The skirt is really lovely and features lot´s of sweet details! Unfortunately it´s a bit tight on me... time to start exercising again. xD"
Basic white poncho, brown millefleur top, random accessory
Guess what´s coming now... xD Yes, wonderful quality items again!
The poncho has got a snowflake of pailettes on the front, but the photo doesn´t show it - sorry. =/ I especially love the hood and tassels, very cute basic!
The top is lovely and made of good quality material, the lace on the small cut out features little hearts! So sweet! x3
If you´re curious about the black and pink patch on the clothes... they´re cell phone deco patches for my cousins. xD"
Cute bear hooded dress, yumetenbo black bow leggins, random accessory
Great quality!
I was a bit curious when I put on the pink dress first - it was looking like a sweater on the shop´s page, but now I got a loose dress - and I love it even more! xD The bottom features sweet lace again, the print is flawless and features CORRECT english writing! xD
The leggins are from TaoBao´s yumetenbo store, they feature a black bow on the foot part! Very nice item, and a great basic!
Jesus Diamante replica - black fake fur coat
Sorry for the crappy photo, you know I suck as a photographer. xD"
That´s the original coat:
PURE LOVE, best piece of the parcel! *__*
The fake fur is super fluffy, and the coat looks so flattering! There´s a waist-tie in the back that features high quality embroidery, the bottom part is really wide - perfect since I want to use it as a lolita coat, a poofy skirt can fit under this coat without any problems! x3
Hot pink underbust skirt, black lacy earmuffs, denim skirt topping, black deep cut-out shirt
I´m not so satisfied about everything on this photo...
The underbust skirt is actually hot pink color, not red - sorry for the bad pic again. xD" The fabric is super soft, and the bottom features sweet chequered ruffles!
The earmuffs are super fluffy and warm, and so biiiig! Looks really cute! xD
The denim over-skirt is really unique, I think. I´ll wear it over my lacy white basic skirt - but I have to fix some parts first, since some chains came off right after I put it on first time. Not so good quality here. =/
The black shirt... it´s actually the backside! xD There´s a deep cut-out on the back, that is gathered by the 3 pink bows. The front features lot´s of glitzy gemstones that write "Barbie", and there´s another pink bow on it! This shirt is BIG LOVE! x3
koakuma-kei styled clothes: off-shoulders white dress, light pink balloon-shape dress, yumetenbo garters, random accessory
Poor quality about the white dress, the rest is fine!
The white off-shoulders top does feature lot´s of sexy details like lace on the sleeves, zipper on the bottom, and a sexy shape - but it´s so see-through and thin! Impossible to wear it without another basic underneath. =/
The pink dress is simply perfect! Great quality fabric in use, and nice craftmanship! It fit´s so flattering!
The garters are from yumetenbo´s TaoBao store again. =) The lacy part does sit on the waist, the garters itself are one-colored black.
Another koakuma-kei set: Tube high collar dress, long sleeved dress, big pink bow and pearls belt, MARS style headbow, small bow hairclips
Everythings simply HOT and perfect! *__*
The tube dress does feature a padded breast part and a gorgeous cut, I looove it!
The bottom part of the long sleeved dress has got a balloon-shape, which sit´s so flattering on my hips! There´s also a row of lace on the bottom! :´D It´s really comfortable and sexy!
The belt was custom made to my measurements, and it´s such GREAT quality!
The WIGS... part 1! x3
light brown hairbun, super curly dark brown full wig, dark blonde super curly halfwig, straight brown halfwig
ALL of the colors came out darker then pictured on the shops-page. But I´ll manage that problem, too. =)
The hairbun is a bit loose, I`ll fix it with Got2B hairspray (this stuff is coming from hell... can even glue wig hair, dammit! xD")!
The brown full wig features so many defined curls! However, the bangs are looking a bit weird on me... a bit Emo. o__O" I´ll fix it with some clips or maybe some sewing. xD"
The blonde hair piece is gorgeous for hime-styles! *__* Absolutely LOVE this one! The hair feels very soft, and doesn´t have a lot of fake shine!
The straight half-wig... well, it´s less hair then I thought. =/ I`m missing some volume here, will be hard to solve this problem.
And now part 2! x3
Assymetric light brown clip in bangs, soft curls brown full wig, blonde layered cut full wig, straight black china doll full wig with bangs, extra long brown full-wig with bangs
The bangs are super nice quality - just like my prisilia bangs. =)
The next wig has got very soft curls and straight bangs - it´s my favorite full wig of those who came with this parcel! x3 However... it´s not as much volume as the shop photo showed. =/
The blonde wig gave me a giant surprise, since it was looking totally different from the shops photo. xD" I don´t even know how to describe the cut of this wig... it´s just... weird. xD" The main cut is like a cute bob, but there are some thin strains of long blonde hair added as a bottom layer - I felt like a cosplayer when I wore this, especially because of the fake shine of the hair. Seriously, it´s looking rediculous - I laughed my ass off in front of the mirror, I never looked this horrible before. xD" I already got an idea how to solve this problem, and I think it´ll come out really cute in the end. I´ll show you some photos then, of course! x3
Next one is a straight long wig with a "china doll" cut - means very thick straight cut bangs, and non layered long hair! It´s wonderful soft, and super cute!
The last wig should be a extra long model, but obviously - it´s not. o.O It´s a bit layered, features straight cut bangs and nice quality. Can´t complain about it, except of the length. ^^
FINAL RESULT
of shopping clothes on TaoBao:
Quality is mostly okay! You always get what you paid for, sometimes even more. ;D
What makes shopping rather uncomfortable is all the problems that are coming up (like out of stock items and such, just as I mentioned in the beginning).
Wow, so that was my winter wardrobe shopping haul. xD"
Thanks for reading, I hope I didn´t bore the hell out of you. ;D
Oh, and one day after my TaoBao items arrived, my lovelyshoes parcel was delivered! So next review coming up sooooon! x3
Just as I mentioned... taped all over. xD"It was kind of tricky to find a place to cut it open - however, the parcel arrived undamaged, and german customs did NOT open it! O__O"

It´s such a sweet, sweet life, isn´t it?
OK dear!! first comment
ReplyDeleteI live in Italy(here custom is worse than in Germany!!) and I'm getting addicted to YANWEN EXPRESS as shipping option...it does cost about 126 YUAN for the first 500g then about 60YUAN every 500g and the SPECIAL features of YANWEN EXPRESS is that it ships your parcel in UK and other European countries like Spain before your country so custom don't block it(only cuz the parcel will arrive from a EU country and not China and so....)
I know wonderful things don't last but YANWEN EXPRESS/PARCEL FORCE ,it's a collabo with UK ROYAL MAIL is GREAT!!! I was up to ask you if you wanted to share shipping costs with me but you don't know me ..... kisses
second one....YOU ARE A GREAT GAL and I love you!! I'm so glad I found your blog this November!!!I can feel your passion !! and you have a great sense of humour .....I love german gals cuz they got a deep heart and soul (i've been to Germany many times and love also Deautsch...my fav language since I was 9!!!)
ReplyDeleteI dunno...I wish I could write you a mail to comment every single entry here cuz it's like I wrote them....how can I explain?? <3
anyway I love TAOBAO!!!i'm up to buy some AGEJO clothes,hair pieces(my half wigs are gorgeous but I got to try some from there),some liz lisa stuff,deco nails,JD replica coats(a white one and a black one) and accessories ...If you want here is my latest wish list --> http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2GYY3E4RS2LKD
I started it yesterday before LADY GAGA concert so I didnt added the best part (MA*RS and so ...)
If you want to be friend I'd appreciate so much!!!

http://ifotos.pl/img/5_qhshqs.JPG
ReplyDeleteIs this skirt ? :o
ops soryy....the additional 500g are 33yuan each
ReplyDeletewow, how much was your order total? & 11kg?!? so much, i'm afraid to think how much shipping mine will cost >.<
ReplyDeletei'm currently in the mist of an order too TT^TT i'm getting so jealous of you since you already got yours. i hope my items are as good quality as yours seem!
Hey darling,
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to have 11kg worth of clothes, God... How much was it all together with the fees ect, sorry for asking, if its too personal thats alright. :)
Btw, you really have epic hairstyle skills ^^
@Margarita: (FIRST: Your name is so sweeeet! x3 But I´m sure a lot of people are telling you this) Oh wow, that´s really so cuuuuute of you! >///< You know, I blushed a lot when I read your comments - thank you so much, you made my day! x3
ReplyDeleteGiant thanks for telling me about YANWEN Express, this shipping option sounds UNBEATABLE cheap and more reliable then EMS China when it comes to customs! *__*
Oh, and I`m always interested in group orders - so thanks for your offer! =D But to be honest... as you can see, I just bought so many items. I´m not in need of anything from TaoBao now. xD"
I just lurked your blog and wishlist - and I was so surprised since we have the same taste about so many things! (just like MA*RS clothes for example) I would love to get to know you better! So I´m following your blog now, of course! x3
You´re an even more great gal! Me myself... I feel like I`m not even ready to call myself "gal", since I`m stilling missing so many minor skills like doing perfect make-up. Let´s say I`m an attendant. xD And you´re definately an inspiration, since you´re one hot Gal! Hope to see a looot of photos of you soon! =D
Btw, Italy rocks! Is spent most of my summer vacation there since I was a little child - I love the lifestyle, the gorgeous leather products (shoooooes! dammit, best shoes I ever bought are from Italy. xD), and of course the food!
@BlondHime: Oh sweety, I`m sure if you´re making such a comb with pink roses, it will look a lot better then mine - because you´re so talented when it comes to handcrafting! =D I would love to see photos of it on your blog when you finished your work! x3
Oh, and about the skirt... it´s more like an "over-skirt" - meant to be a two piece. It´s worn like a broad belt... Uhm... so hard to explain, so I`ll just show you the shops photo! XD
http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1734/2piece.jpg
The white underskirt was sold seperately, I got it too as you can see on one photo. I love the option to combine the denim piece with any skirt I like. x3
@Juni: Yes, the whole parcel was 11kg! xD" Me and my cousins ordered some quite heavy stuff (it was a group order) - I think the heaviest item was my black JD coat. o.O
Oh dear, did you order from TaoBao, too? Just don´t worry too much - everything will turn out to be good for you, I think.
Btw... I lurked your blog (kind of in stalking mood today, it seems. xD"), and I think your hair color and style is really cute! Remembers me of popteen models! x3
But I can understand you perfectly, I got lot´s of hair-dye fails earlier - feels very uncomfortable. So I hope you can solve this problem soon! But still... I like it! xD"
@Naomi: To be honest... I don´t even know the exact amount of money, I didn´t calculate it yet. xD" Since I did a group order with my cousins, all the fee´s were split up - so it came out super cheap, especially since TaoBao´s clothes are quite inexpensive. ^^
Ahhhw, thanks for the compliment about my hairstyles! But it´s not such a great thing, since I`m often using hairpieces and wigs (since my natural hair is short, about shoulder length) - I do style them to achieve different looks of course, but it´s not the same as using own hair, I think. =)
That might sound spooky, but... somehow I feel familiar with your face. O__O" Do you post photos at any online communities, like gal comms?
Sorry for the stupid questions, but I just can´t get rid of the thought that I`ve seen your face somewhere before. xD"

ReplyDeleteHaha, yes! Germany is usually very cold for most of the time of the year - but when it´s getting warmer, it starts to be extremely TOO HOT. x__X Only the extreme versions over here. xD"
I think I`ll go to Italy on vacation next summer, I just love this country. =) (seriously... I spent most of my holidays of my childhood there, since my parents are crazy for Italy, too! x3)

Let´s go for the list! x3
>Dusty pink layered neckholder top:

But I`m selling this top at my sales post, that I just put up yesterday! Just a hint. ;D

Sorry, this shop is down as well. =/
So as you see... the working links I can offer your are just a few. =/
But I wanna give you a hint! o.O
Use the TaoBao search engine and...
~for searching those koakuma-kei style clothes, type in words like: "Ageha", "Gal", "109", "Cecil", "MA*RS", "Golds"
You´ll get a lot of positive hits then, with lot´s of sexy clothes that resemble mine! =D
~for searching cute Liz Lisa/Yumetenbo princess style clothes, type in words like: "LizLisa" (<- always write together, you can get more results usually!), "Vivi", "Dear", "Deary", "109", "Tralala"
~for searching elegant Jesus Diamante style items, type in:
"JesusDiamante" (<- again, write it together! You can get more results. ^^), "Pafait".
That´s at least how I searched for those items. I hope it can help you out as well! =D
Have fun shopping! ;D
oh dear*_*!! thank you so much^0^!!!!you're really kind!
ReplyDelete@blackkoi: I can´t see your comment under this entry for some reason, but my Email reminder shows that you commented here. O__O" So I´ll give you an answer, of course! x3
ReplyDeleteI do own some items purchased from Yumetenbo´s rakuten store, so I can compare pretty easily. ^^
To mention every detail, I directly compared my RAKUTEN yumetenbo garters with my TAOBAO yumetenbo garters (it´s the same style of garters anyways).
As far as I can tell, the items are authentic.
The lace is perfectly the same, non-itchy, stretchy and very comfortable.
The sizing is also the same, there´s only a tiny difference of 0,5cm on the lace waist-belt. (The TaoBao garters are 0,5cm smaller on the waist part).
Also the nylon part of the garters doesn´t show any differences when compared - both are almost see-through, quite stretchy and non shiny.
The tag´s and packaging of the stockings was also the same, as far as I can remember (I received the Rakuten yumetenbo garters about 1 year earlier, but I`m pretty sure the packaging was the same).
The items itself are cheaper on the TaoBao webstore, but you also have to calculate the fee´s for shipping and shopping service. (And, if you´re living in a country that has got strict customs... that do love to pick out parcels coming from China (like germany... ~..~)... you should also calculate custom fees. xD")
Also, the TaoBao webstore does often offer items that are already sold out on the rakuten webstore! ^^
But never to forget that ordering from TaoBao can be troublesome, unfortunately. =/ (<- not to point out on TaoBao yumetenbo, it´s just my general opinion about ordering from TaoBao. xD")
But yes, it comes out cheaper to order from TaoBao then from rakuten. =)
Sorry, I definately wrote too much. x__X"
I`m having a hard time writing in english now, so I`m really sorry for my poor writing. xD"
Woooow that's almost 40 items you got there xD!! You must be lucky being able to get many items. I love your choice in clothing~ Hehe, I'm also interested in the gyaru style. :3
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of ordering my taobao items and I know that shipping is going to kill me xD My custom sizing clothes is the reason of the delay for my order. I hope to post pictures of my order!
@Jasmine: Haha, yes - I got a bit crazy about this order. XD" But it was definately worth it! =)
ReplyDeleteI saw you´re ordering a Maid dress with the help of Miss Zeng? Haha, your dress is such a CUTE choice! Looks gorgeous, I hope the outcome will be as wonderful as the picture does promise! =D
Plz post photos of it on your blog! x3
Oh wow! You're my first follower...thank you so much! :D
ReplyDeleteOh man I checked with Ms.Zeng about the weight of my items and since I also ADDED more stuff in, it's estimated to 5.5~6kg!! I went crazy...because it's my first order with taobao.
how much did you have to pay for the tax?
ReplyDeletei'm just wondering, because i'm ordering the same weight
@Jasmine: I saw you got your items! =D (saw it on your blog) They´re so lovely! x3
ReplyDelete@Anonymus: I`m very sorry, but I don´t remember anymore. =( I even checked the folder where I keep all of my bills, but I already threw out the tax bill (since it was from 2010 - I always clean out at new year. xD")
I´m very sorry!
I hope you didn´t have to pay a lot of taxes for your parcel! =)
