淘宝 review

*not an ad

Almost every week, I'll get the same questions - How you order from 淘宝?  Where is 淘宝 from?  After this blog post is done, I'll just send this web link as a reply to whoever who ask, hur hur.........

淘宝 is like G-market, except that it's in China instead of local.  So, for those who prefer goods made in other countries, no need to read on.

Within this web-site there are thousands and thousands of suppliers selling everything and anything under the sun.  But due to shipping constrain, food, liquid and chemicals are better to be avoided.

To purchase from 淘宝, the easiest way is to engage a local agent to do all the shipping and arrangement for us.  If you have lobang for shipping, then it's good for you.  Just that you will have to do all the liasing with suppliers.  

There are many agents and I'm using 65daigou  Just click in, register yourself and the rest of the steps are rather idiot proof to follow.  Their system is as such whereby all the calculation is automatically done in their spreadsheet, so it's really easy for lazy people like me.

Once you find an agent whom you are comfortable with, you can start your online shopping and send in your orders to the agent.  Basically, there are 2 modes of shipment, by air (pay more but faster) or by sea freight (pay less but of course slower).  Again, different agents charge differently, so the choice is up to us as consumers.

For those who finds it heart pain to pay agent and shipping fee, then don't need to read on, go buy from G market or local blog shops where all costs are already included in the price tag.  Now, here's my review!

I suppose nobody likes to read too many words, so here are my pics!!!!    Always opted for home delivery as it's only S$5 with 65daigou!!   They have their own delivery men unlike other agents.  The delivery man reached at around 9.45pm, yeah, they work so late.  So here's a pic of hairy arms monster helping us to open up the big plastic bag.

Starting with Samantha Vega handbag~~
I forgotten to save the supplier's link, I hope I got the correct one :X

Samantha counters selling this design at $480.  This is obviously not authentic cos' the card tag is missing although the supplier's web-site shows pic of it.  No dust bag also :/  It doesn't matter to me anyway.  I actually wanted the pink color very badly, but OOS.  Desperate for the lovely design, so chose blue and it's not bad.  The blue is very light in color, so will not clash with my pastel outfits.

Soft smooth leather, with cute ribbon bows at the side.  Frills plus baby blue polka dot lining just makes the bag too cute.  Beats any lame looking thousand dollars bag (just my personal liking, please continue to love your branded bags.)

Nike Air Rift

It's Luis order.  But he's growing so fast that they couldn't fit.  He is very upset, very.  It fits me well, but I hate it black.  Comes together with socks.  No complains on quality.  It's Euro size 37, 23.5cm.  We had only tried on the socks and shoes, both items are brand new, willing to sell off at a discount price.  Interested just drop me a email chubbyvoo@yahoo.com.sg

 

Vibram fivefingers

Somehow, my order for hot pink pair was OOS.  I don't remember recieving any notice from 65daigou :((  So all these shoes are my sisters' T_____T  Don't ask me whether they are authentic, you want authentic go and order at their offical web-site from US, each pair about S$300.

Before I know it, he had already put them on and pester me to take a pic.  He then immediately post pic of his attire on his Facebook to show off  -__-|||  Apparently, he has a group of friends who are crazy of this computer game, yeah...... kids....

Now............. my clothes from BoBon21

Note that this supplier uses only one model who's 158cm tall and 41kg, all apparels for sizes UK6 ~ UK8.  Yeah, I can hear many disappointing sighs, but TaoBao have many other suppliers, sure will be able to find one suitable for yourself  ^.^

Okie, back to my loots..............  won't be showing individual links, cos' all the items can be view from the main page.

I ordered so much that the supplier waived off the domestic shipping for me ^^

Below pic, cotton socks with lacy frills, kawaii to death.  I wore the white pair out already, got pic at Instagram, heehee.....

My first jump suit ever!  Cute to the max.  Now I got something nice to wear for outings now!  Enough of wearing t-shirts and shorts!

Cotton shorts with lace.  Comfy nice for home wear ^^  pardon my round round tummy, heehee....

The frills are very nice but the material is very sheer, almost transparent.  The thought of having to wear another spaghetti top or camisole over is really troublesome  -.-

Pink pinafore, also my first pinafore ever in my wardrobe.  The length is just nice for me. 

2nd pic wore with can can gauze skirt beneath, looks much better.  I got the urge to remove the bow ribbon and the black buttons, shall I??
