    Default TaoBao Good Buys!

    Recently got addicted to shopping at TaoBao but there's so much things to surf there that I really had problem deciding what to buy.

    Was hoping to find a thread to recommend some sellers at TaoBao but I couldn't find any so here it is!!

    Please feel free to share what good buy you found and any pictures of your loots too!!

    Well, you just need to find a spree to order. I ordered twice with this spree organizer http://crystaldolly.blogspot.com/

    She's quite nice, will answer your queries and she even helped me find items that I was looking for.

    there's this bag that she recommend me...


    I think it's really nice... but must look for those with pictures of the real items.

    Will post up my loot when they arrive!!

    Haha, same here! I also very impatient to wait but I don't have china account and somehow I have problem loading the applet for their payment system.

    Anyway, for her spree, she charge $1.50 per item.
    Calculation from her site is:
    (Item cost + kua di)/4.4 + $1.50 handling + $3 initial shipping

    after items arrive she'll collect exact shipping. That time I got a bag, the shipping is about $7 SGD



    This is the bag I ordered, total it cost me around $25 SGD.

    Speed usually less than a month I think.

    I think she can be. Although sometimes she doesnt respond like super fast but she will respond. I added her to my msn and she answers my queries and will inform me via msn too if she sees me online.

    What happened? share with us your experience?

    I'm very interested in Tao Bao but I'm really paranoid about their quality because China goods are really like lucky draw. You lose more than you win...

    I agree with you, it's abit like lucky draw. Some items, they use the same pictures but the prices varies by a lot.

    So I only go for those with real pictures and also good seller rating plus I will look at the buyer's review on how closely the items resembles the pictures and description. And of course we have to know we get what we pay for.

    My idea to start this thread is also to share what are the good sellers that we can buy from so it'll be less of a risk next time

    I have some loots arrived tonight, so excited to open them up!!!
    Excited!!

    I think I should be paying around 30plus to 40+?
    I chose the higher end one because I want a really nice bag.

    Shall post it soon, will work out the cost and let you know.

    Great. Let us know whether the sellers you bought from are reliable anot! Do you have some links (bags especially) of recommended sellers? It's so hard to navigate on the taobao, too many sellers to choose from!
