I am SOOOO upset!!!

My pink bag is gorgeous but because I took my bf's bike and my sling bag was too long and it got stained by the bag's burn part

The handle got quite a huge stain now

I paid about $43 SGD for it

$43 very expensive, I don't buy anything more than S$20 from taobao, even jeans.

BTW,we can get items recommended by Nu Ren Wo Zhui Da at very cheap price.

Well, I did see cheaper alternatives but I want a good quality one

The quality is worth the price in my opinion...


That's the bag


That's the stain

But can still bring out, it's at the handle so can hold it in such a way that the stain is not visible...

I buy direct.

Buying direct as in the individual seller ships to you? I heard direct shipping is quite expensive.

Share what are the shops you usually go?

NoirAeC: hi there! may i know if the calvin klein bag you got is authentic? i visited the blogshop that you recommend and went to taobao website (first time visiting) but i am not sure which are the authentic and non authentic bags. any seller to recommend? thanks

I don't think the bag is authentic since it is so cheap. But I think the quality is worth the price. Usually authentic ones area also expensive

I think someone asked for the link right?
I got my bag here http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_...9c94c53f.jhtml

NoirAeC: wow your bag looks really good in real luckily you're able to hide the stain, but it's still very heartpain.

I consolidate all the goods to my shipper in China and they ship to me. Shipper by air reached me only 3-4 days from China. The cost is only half of all those spree organiser are charging.

I am a single diamond buyer. I bought extensive range of items from taobao for the past 2 years.

My DH likes to buy clothings. I buy bags, accessory, beauty items, camera stuff, g string, clothings,blah blah blah.

Yea, I browse through many sites to find one with good rating and real life pictures. That's why I bought it.... am loving it

I see... so do you have to like buy a minimum amount to make the shipping more worthwhile? Can you share roughly how much the shipping you pay for say a handbag?

The buyer is sellling the bags quite cheaply, if I were to buy it, it will cost less than $20! how much is your buying price in RMB?

The grey stain is the erosion of the bag paint, only can touch up with the same colour paint.

You can tie a twilly or ribbon to hide it or some brooch or accessory too.

It's 59.99RMB plus 12RMB for kua di... how much do you think the shipping for this bag will cost? hehe

60+12=72RMB = S$16

Normally I buy a lot of items so shipping very cheap. I guess at cost to you for self collection will be S$20, so the spreer wants to earn some money should be $25-$28. $40+ she charging you is shop owner selling price already.

But if you want to buy yourself, you need a china bank account right?
Does your shipping company charges like VPost? Go by volumetric weight?

Mine is charged by kg.

So as long as you go china, you can open an account? You don't need to be a resident?? If I go there for holiday I can just open one account and I can just use internet banking and transfer money from my sg bank to china account??

Actually I have one big problem, my computer cannot load the applet to the payment system. So I had like no choice

I want to buy like you.....
