Yeah, I'm not happy with xiaomi camera

I mean the camera in my xiaomi phone

heard that the one in the xiaomi notebook is also pretty shit

ALL chink cameras are chinkshit

(except a select few of Lenovo, Huehuehuewei and ASUS phones)

i should try to buy stuff directly from taobao but it would suck to get something fug'd up

taobao is really pro, if you live in china that is

yeah :(

australia isnt that far from china, right?

superbuys shipping fees are kinda silly

otherwise you might have to contact the seller, and usually they dont know english at all

shipping outside of china is weird

seizure and waiting months at a time

wew

sending a bigger package from here to europe is 17 bucks

up to 1 kg

then you pay 9 for every additional kg

the thing is, when it comes to smaller things I think the chinks send it from HK or Macao

mainly the reason why you get free shipping from aliexpress

or Singapore

which is even slower

im ok with buying stuff from english sites with customer service

taobao just seems too risky

without agent

my Chinese is barely just good enough to ask questions on taobao

I only know cantonese and the terminology isn't the same as mandarin

and paying for agents defeats the point lmao

at taobao they actually really care about the reputation

so I just G translate some and just make sure it checks out for what is the same

refunds are no problem

but if youre from outside of china...

i wouldnt even bother

unless you have a midleway

aka most people

try to translate with bing translator

imo its better than google, more chinese people use it so the translation is better

also if you have some basic knowledge of chinese you can use mdbg to translate each character

afk

translating each character is pretty much what I do lol

for what I don't know

as for paying an agent defeating the point, it really depends on what you're buying
