Review - TaoBao

My first review from Taobao using their shopping service too purchase clothes! I am a fan of the rokku gyaru style and I needed an outfit for an upcoming J-Rock concert in my country and wanted a rocking outfit! I love Glavil and GLADNEWS - and I have a few items from each from my trip to Tokyo. I heard about TaoBao but it always confused me so I stayed away from it (having to use a shipping service put me off - but I could not find SNH48 cds anywhere apart from Taobao so I took the plunge and tried a service, and it was successful!)

I used TaoBaoRing and they are really helpful and really easy to use. You can put your items in a cart and see how much they would be before you commit to buy - they then message you if its in stock to pay the first bit, and then again when they receive the item. The even told me that it would be cheaper to use Airmail (even though I had picked Chinese SAL) and charged me for Airmal!

Post and Packaging 4/5

Even though it was Airmail it did take a while. It was shipped on the 18/02/2014 and arrived today! I think I expect to much since CDJapan takes 7 days, so I guess I'm spoilt. The packaging was good! Simple and effective  and below is how to packaging was inside the envolope

Product 5/5

I ordered this on a whim from the Glavil search engine and wondered if I was getting a knock off, bad quality piece of clothing but it really wasnt! It is really nice and big and comfortable. It also looks good on as well! 

Service 5/5

I would recommend TaoBaoRing as they have an easy system and friendly staff! They take a picture of your items and give you a tracking number for you to track your parcel and they have a system where yyou can log in and check on all your orders - when you receive your items you can click "received" and they go into your archive or question them if you feel like it is taking too long!

Overall I am super satisfied with the service and my item and will gladly order from them in the future!
