Questions
Do I need a Taobao account or speak Chinese?
No. You send us the item code or link; we handle the brand, the payment in yuan and the Chinese size charts.
How do I pay?
By PayPal or Wise invoice. Any processor fee is shown on the invoice before you pay.
Are the dresses authentic?
Yes. Catalogue pieces come from brands that have authorised us to sell them. If you send a Taobao link that looks like a copy of another brand's print, we tell you and decline to buy it.
Can you buy from brands not in your catalogue?
Yes, through the buy-for-me service: any Taobao lolita link, 10% fee, minimum $5.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items usually reach our warehouse in 2–5 days, pre-orders take as long as the brand states. International shipping is 7–20 days depending on the line.
What if the dress does not fit?
We check your measurements against the brand's chart before buying and warn you about tight fits. Change-of-mind returns are not possible once a parcel has shipped, so send measurements, not just your usual size.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship worldwide. Ask for a quote and we list the lines that accept lolita clothing to your country.
Will I pay import tax?
Usually yes, depending on your country. See the shipping and duties page; your quote says whether taxes are prepaid.
Can you send several orders together?
Yes. Storage is free for 60 days and combining parcels is free.
Do you sell petticoats, blouses and accessories?
Yes. Send the link, or ask us to find one in your size and colour.
