I wanted to buy wigs again on Taobao. However, when I last emailed Taobaospree, they told me that they were not currently accepting clients. So I had to search for a new Taobao agent. I found two agents with a mixed review but since Bhiner looked more reliable than the other one (in terms of how their websites looked like), I gave Bhiner a try. (You can click here to check out Bhiner or simply Google search it.) At first, it was kind of confusing for me to use their website because it is very different from how I used Taobaospree. With their search bar, you can either use a keyword or paste the link of the item that you like from Taobao. Then you can add the item to the cart and have it 'quoted' to check if it is available or not. After that, you have to top up your Bhiner wallet to be able to pay them. Then comes the waiting time from the seller to Bhiner. When the items arrived to them, they update your orders with the photos that they took. I assume that one of the sellers that I bought my items from had a little vacation so the waiting time took me like a week and some days. When it all arrived to Bhiner, I paid the second payment which is the International Shipping. They soon then shipped my items and gave me the tracking number and link. The shipping from Bhiner (Hongkong) to me (Germany) took about 5 days. I also have DHL as my chosen shipping method. Here are the items when it arrived on their warehouse Here are the items that I got Aside from the little fall out from the glitter stuff, everything is in good condition. I have all my wigs, ziplock bags and nets for wigs and a set of face glitter and decors. Just a side note though, I also had to pay customs so buying from Taobao does kind of end up like paying three payments: the first payment which is your items+domestic shipping (seller to Bhiner)+service fee, the second payment which is the international shipping (Bhiner to you) and customs Overall, it has been a good experience with Bhiner. I can recommend it to everyone, especially if you are a cosplayer who wants to buy quality wigs and costumes from Taobao as they also offer a cosplay section on their website, which makes it easier for us to find our cosplay needs.

Often times, I really prefer to save when it comes to cosmetics. As much as possible, I want to invest more on my costumes, especially with my wigs and shoes since they are the ones that I know I will be able to use and re-use for a longer time. But as a Woman of Color (WoC), I realized that unless I live in the USA, the limited range of cosmetics that is suitable for me is a challenge on both Germany and Philippines. That's why I consider about things that are okay for me to spend more and are totally fine for me to save. To splurge

If you haven't played the game yet or watched the anime, this blog post might be a spoiler for you. Please, read at your own risk. Thank you!Hello, everyone! Long time no post (I'm sorry about that). These last few weeks, I was able to get out of my comfort zone (just a wee bit) and tried a genre of a game which I'm completely unfamiliar of- RPG. So far, I have only played Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F. While I enjoyed it, I felt like this game is still considered 'easy' to play. That's why I took up all the courage that I have and tried an RPG. I regret nothing. At least, with this game... Because I liked it very much! Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 is a very interesting game for me. I love all the characters and the setting is excellent. The game, since like I said before- I am unfamiliar with RPG, is fairly easy to learn. The story is also interesting. Overall, the plot of the game is so relevant that it's hard not to like it. I don't think I can really make a good review for this game (because I'm not a hardcore gamer) but I would like to share some of my favorite moments from the game. On to the list! 1. Neptune is so cute here, I must include this scene!2. Pokemon reference no. 13. Pokemon reference no. 24. Confused Nep-Nep is confused5. "Disguise"Earlier... Later... Vert should've listened to Nep. 6. Learn from Vert: How to convince others7. Behold, the adorable admiration of Planeptune Basilicom Staff8. Puchiko!I like how Puchiko's, errr, I mean, I like how Broccoli's weapon changes its reaction, as well. Did you like this list? What are your favorite moments from the game? Let me know!
Hello, everyone! How was your holidays? I know, it's been a long time but I'm back with another review. This time, I decided that everytime I buy from Spreepicky, I would make a review of the items that I bought from them. If you haven't know already, Spreepicky is an online shop that sells cute clothings and other fashion stuffs like Lolita, Harajuku, Gothic and they also cater some cosplay items. It's really a paradise for me because I really love the cute clothings there. I already bought from them before so this isn't my first time to buy from them. However, due to the 'post strike' that happened during the shipping of my items, it took a longer time than usual for me to receive my items. I decided now to make another review where I can really tell how my experience with the shipping and delivery was. What did I buy this time?First, I only chose the Chinese Ink Cheongsam SP153233 (Color Blue, Size L) and the Neko Atsume Cutie Dress Set SP153075 (Color Yellow, Size M) but the Neko Atsume Cutie Dress Set in color yellow wasn’t available anymore. I had to choose other items in replace of it and I had to do it for two days because the item that I chose (which seemingly would appear available online) is actually not available anymore. I think in this point, they need to improve on updating their website more often. In the end, this is what I end up with:
How was the process?While they do are responsive with emails, you have to consider the timezone (between your country and China) and their working hours if you want your inquiries to be answered right away. Saturday and Sunday are also their non-business days so keep that in mind if you plan to transact with them. My order was finalized at January 19 although I already paid at January 17 through Paypal. My order was then shipped at January 30 and I received it at February 04. Since I bought over 100 US Dollars, I got a free DHL delivery. I received a tracking code but the update is also kinda slow. I didn't expect my item at February 04 because when I was still tracking my order, it says it just arrived Germany so I thought it would still take a little while till I receive it. I also didn't have to pay any customs which is a great thing for me. Now, onto the items... 'Lolita Princess Maid Dress With Paw Brooch and Black KC SP140839 *This maid set also includes a black hairband with a bow 'Chinese Ink Cheongsam SP153233' *This Cheongsam includes 2 hairclips The rest of the package Even though the waiting time is a bit long for me, the items did compensate for it because they are really great. It's really worth the effort and time. How would you rate them?Product: 4.8 out of 5 They are close to perfection but I'm still thinking of modifying them. Also, be careful with sizes and always consider it when buying from them as they have the (East) Asian standard size. Speaking of it, I don't have problem with the size and it fits me perfectly. Service: 4.9 out of 5 During their working hours and days, they are really helpful and approachable. Shipping: 4 out of 5 I'm still wondering why it took them some days to ship my items but I think the shipping time is still reasonably fast. Overall: 4.7 out of 5 I'm very happy with my experience with them and I'm also looking forward with my future purchases from them. I do recommend them if you want to shop some cute clothes for a reasonable price. I hope my review was helpful and if you have some questions, feel free to drop them and i will do my best to get back to you.
Thank you very much and I'll see you next time! I've always wanted to buy wigs on Taobao ever since I came here in Germany. Indeed, there are some wig sellers here in Germany. However, having no experience with their wigs, I'm still in doubt even though I really want to try on their wigs like Lockshop and myCostumes. I always have Taobaospree in my mind as my Taobao agent. I have read and watched videos of reviews about them and it seemed that they are pretty trust worthy so we gave them a try. I made this sort of a timeline of events so that you can imagine how did it went for me. Timeline of Events: Using Taobaospree as Taobao agent
I'm happy about their responsiveness and their eagerness to answer your questions. I felt like I was a child that just kept on asking questions and I already have a feeling that I'm getting annoying but I just really need to ask them. Sometimes, it is also hard because we have a different time zone and the difference is quite big. However, it wasn't that bad as I got used to it.
The paying system was a bit surprising for me at first but it all turned out pretty well. Overall, I'm can say that I'm their happy client. They are trust-worthy and reliable. The flow of our deal was good and no huge problems were encountered. I recommend them if ever you want to buy something from Taobao. Have you ever tried Taobaospree? How was your experience? |
