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?
I'm not.
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

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/
So far I've made. 21 orders. 20/21 have arrived just fine.
Rather, let me fix that.
14 orders completed. 13 arrived safe and sound. 1 did not. and then 7 locations ordered from for those 13 car models.
I've found Russian trucks and some Chinese cars are easier to find inexpensively in 1/43, and then some, annoyingly are far easier (and cheaper) to find in 1/32 or 1/36. for this small stuff I prefer 1/43, although I've certainly gotten some cool models in 1/18.
I got an HDMI 3 port spliter
there's shit I've found that I can't find ANYWHERE else except taobao
for example

ye taobao is great for that shit
i honestly want to learn chinese just because of taobao
I have chink friends that can help
