Tips for buying from Europe? (Taobao, Aliexpress shops)

Recommended Posts

Ayrell

Hi everyone!

I have a small collection of dolls in 1/6, 1/8 and 1/12 scale. Being in Europe, I can't use most of the US shops typically recommended due to high shipping and custom charges. I normally use Aliexpress or Kikagoods but I'd like to have more variety for eyes, wigs, clothes, etc. Any recommended shops for Europe or Aliexpress sellers I might not know about? Right now I'm mostly interested in clothes.

I'd like to use Taobao (I know most people buy really cute things there) but I haven't been able to find a proxy that works OK, I usually can't find anything while browsing or the product links don't work after pasting them. I can't really browse much from Taobao itself because the page usually starts showing errors (blocking me) quickly.

If anyone here is from Europe, what proxy do you use? I know some let you manage the IOSS/customs thing right at the moment of paying.

Thanks in advance! :)

Superbuy is a taobao proxy I can recommend without problem. They have, like you mentioned, custom-free Europe shipping lines which is a huge plus for me as well, I hate custom taxes with a passion.

Sadly browsing the shops is indeed a bit buggy there as well, not loading properly or not showing all items. So I usually use parcelup, another proxy to search things and browse the stores, then just copy the taobao link from there over to superbuy.

Oh, thank you so much for the recommendations! I haven't tried either of these proxies before, so I will try with the parcelup for browsing+Superbuy for buying combo. :) Nice to have confirmation about the custom-free shipping too!

Thanks again! Much appreciated!
