I know when I first started rep purchasing I was always lean towards Ali Express because how simple their interface was to use. But I'd always here Taobao Taobao Taobao from the expert rep community.
A few weeks ago I did my first mini haul, which really didn't satisfy me as a consumer, but then again I was only trying to learn how to use Tao. More of breaking the ice.
But this week I decided to do a real haul and see if the prices really cheaper as they say they are. And not to mention the quality on Tao is way better than the quality on Ali (you'll occasionally find some good sellers on Ali, but eventually get taken down)
So here's my current "haul" (an order of different products which then leads to one big shipment)
The agent I'm using is YTaoPal which has been really helpful in communication and in everything I've needed thus far.
This is crazy and I'm not lying to you guys when I say Taobao is the way to go.
So here I found a special on the Vetement hoodies. Not sure of the 1:1 because of retardly low the price was but at this price who the hell wouldn't guinea pig it?
Basically about 3-4 dollars per hoody.
And then I was going to shop with Pan for the Thom Browne joggers but figured let me see if I can find a better deal than the one Pan is offering. And surely, I did.
Pan is a great seller, but at the end of day as a consumer you have to go for the better deal.
Pan was offering these Thom Brownes for 30-35 dollars. I found them for 10 dollars on Tao.
Which led to me getting two instead of one.
One huge pointer I have that's really important is shipping is not included from the agent to your location nor a 3-4 percent service fee (just think of it as taxes)
But even at that price you still win.
Here displayed is a total of only 30 dollars spent for 3 hoodies and 2 joggers.
If I factored in the shipping, which in this case looks like a 5-10 lbs. That's about 40 bucks in shipping WITH DHL.
So what I like to do is to breakdown what shipping costs per item is just divide it into the amount of units. Here I have 5 units so far so that's roughly 8 dollars per garment which means you're STILL WINNING.
3-12 dollar Vetement hoodies
2-18 dollar Thom Browne joggers
Which so far is a total of a 72 dollar haul.
Feel free to ask me any questions if interested in how to use Tao.
Trust me, this is truly the Mecca of reps.
