Do you like cosplay? If you are a cosplay fan you may buy cosplay or cos-props often. It is necessary to know which items can’t ship internationally before you buy. Here we share some tips to tell which kind of cosplay is not safe to buy:

Firstly, props which are more than 1.2 meter. Such items are too long to ship, it is hard to pass customs. Another reason why we don’t suggest to buy is such items are too fragile.

Secondly, cosplay prop shape like a real gun. Chinese security check is very strictly, post company usually refuse parcel which includes gun shape items.

Thirdly, flimsy mask. Such items are usually fragile, we suggest not to buy since it may be broken during international shipping.

Besides, we suggest to use EMS to ship for cosplay items. On one hand, cosplay items usually are expensive, ship by EMS can get compensation for parcel missing. On the other hand, EMS is fast, which can greatly lower the risk of damage.

Only less than 3 months left for 2017 Hallowmas, are your ready? Each year we have many customers come to shopping for Hallowmas in a hurry on September or October. However, it will be too late. Because many Hallowmas cosplays, props or accessories take time to make. In the busy season, you need to pre-order first so that the sellers can finish in time. In order to get the goods before Hallowmas, you’d better order in advance in July or August.

Do you have an idea which items to buy for preparing Hallowmas this year? I think a pampkin lamp, a cosplay, a mask and props are necessary to everyone. I searched some related popular items on Taobao, hope can give you a small assist.

What items are worth from taobao?

October 23, 2014December 24, 2018 James Leave a comment

Many people like to buy from taobao due to it’s low price, but do you know what items are worth to buy, and what products are not worth to buy?

Generally speaking, products that are not heavy, and price also much lower than that in your country, are worth to buy from taobao. So even taking international shipping fee into consideration, full price is still lower than your country, then it’s worth. For example, women clothes, women shoes, men’s clothes, men’s shoes, cosplay, women bags, wigs are all such products. Especially the cosplay and wigs, they are not heavy and price on taobao is really competitive, so even you use fast shipping like EMS, total cost is still much more less than local cosplay, and the wigs quality is also not bad.

However, some items are not worth to buy internationally. The reasons may refer to the size, weight, and safety. For example, furniture, electronic products, books, cosmetics, earphones, and some dangerous products which are not safe to ship,like liquid, lighter or items which are magnetic. The furniture usually are very long and heavy, so some shipping company may not accept such long parcel, and international shipping fee also high due to the big weight. Another reason is it can be scratched easily during shipping. Electronic products are not very safe, and can be inspected in customs random checking and can be returned back to the sender easily. For books, though the price on taobao is really attracting, but the weight will make the shipping fee high. Anyhow, for some books that it’s hard to buy in your own country, then it’s also a good choice to buy from taobao, as it’s a online shopping platform covers everything in our life. The liquid, lighter and magnetic products are prohibit shipping.

Actually we suggest you check your country customs policy before shop from taobao and taobao agents, as each country has their own rule about the products that can be imported. If you buy the prohibited importing products by accident, then they may detained it or destroy it, which cause money loss to you.

Good wishes from 42agent.
