Yeah, I let a pesky thing like "scruples" stop me from shilling for the equalvalent of 6 USD
But that didn't stop you!
i think i just taught gearbest what time zones are
>implying gearbest is a single entity with any sort of coherent sentience
Welp, New Taobao order placed! $100 in 1/43 scale odd car and truck models, hopefully to my door in about a month!
The chinese aren't a hivemind?
I got 4 things today
i got a notification from postnl that _something_ is on its way
no idea what yet
usually this include a picture from the sorting machine but half the time chinky envelopes dont
@Goz3rr can't you just correlate the tracking code of that parcel to your orders on aliex?
it's untracked?
postnl gives you notifications for incoming post, even if it's regular letters
Some of the car models I order from Taobao I probably *could* find elsewhere, considering they're models that are potentially sold elsewhere. But numerous times the model and the shipping are less than if I bought it elsewhere, even though it's coming from China. which is crazy
taobao is cheap as fuck man
its truly the master race of chinkshit
i love it
Last order one car never arrived. or rather, was never marked as arrived at the transfer warehouse. I let it slide.
I shouldn't have, but I did.
what agent you using?
o
Also, I don't know any chinese at all.
me neither\
an agent is good if you have "high value" shit and dont wanna deal with refunds n shit
i use superbuy for just random shit because they at least act as a buffer and i can ultimately just paypal chargeback
<#189467888657235970>
oh shit
dummy
lol
I've had stuff arrive a bit beaten up, but nothing damaged within the packaging. I've also never bought anything too pricey. I spent $100 on like 13 models. so that's not bad at all
i'd use an agent for pretty much anything if i were you tbh
superbuy is cheap as fuck
but their cs is a bit shoddy
Why, though?
taobaoring has higher fees but they take good pics of everything and have really nice cs who speak good english
so you dont get fucked if something comes damaged, or doesnt come at all
because glhf dealing with the chinese directly
unless its some rando like $10 order, but youre best to order in bulk anyway
just ask the gals on /cgl/
