Yoybuy Ss- TaoBao haul

Using the taobao agent Yoybuy. Pretty much self explanatory; Create an account, it is sent to the chinese address, Pay the fees and it's sent to you.

A simple tutorial on how to purchase items is located here

With searching for items you can go into the taobao site and copy the url or keyword and then paste it into the search bar of Yoybuy or search from Yoybuy itself.

Placed the order on the 5th of January, 6th of January it was purchased arrived 29th of January. It only took a bit long as I kept adding orders and waited until they all came in so I could have them shipped in one order instead of multiple. 

What is good about this agent is with each items if there is a dilemma with the item there is a "chat" tab that the agent will contact you with as well as you can ask questions back as well. If you place multiple orders you can chose which  items you want to ship in one package or you could just wait until they all arrive and have it shipped in one shot. 

Items usually arrive at the chinese address within 3 days from what I observed but if it takes longer, the shopping service will inform you and ask whether you want to wait for have a refund. 

I was quite surprised how much they could fit inside the box. 

I realised a lot of the items I bought said "made in Japan" or had some sort japanese writing on the label itself. Yay for japanese brand x)

Communication:

They were fast in replying to questions as well as informing me if the seller didn't reply and gave suggestions to similar products. A refund if the item was not available. 

Cost:

The products itself were good quality and majority looked exactly the same as the stock image. Shipping was a little pricey but luckily they had a discount or something when I send the order through. I paid ~$60 for 5kgs via EMS. Orignally it would be ~$120.00. Lucky me.

Packaging:

It was securely sealed in a box with lots of tape. Each item was sealed in a plastic pocket. Since all I ordered was clothes and they were that expensive, I wasn't too fussy about it. 

Shipping:
It came pretty fast but due to the long weekend it came a few days late. Since waited until all my items came in, that was also the reason for the delay.

Will definately be using this shopping service again :D
