Zipia.net bulk order

[interp]

Funny that, telling a Japanese dude how he pronounces Tokyo.

I dunno, I figured he'd be well aware of that then... He's from asia and he should be aware of spelling errors coming from a country who's websites advertise gloves as "groves" and henlies and "henries". (basecontrol)

No hate on asians, I'm a korean/japanese mix.

it says on their faq that they declare as a gift with value of less than 100USD so hopefully no taxes there..

Well the more you order, the cheaper it is per kg. I know the US is pretty liberal when it comes to duties being charged on international packages, but if the order is huge I am sure it is going to be dinged something. The fees seem to be piling up. Item + Shipping to US + possible duties/taxes on entry + shipping out to people.

The stuff looks pretty cool, but the 1 size only options, imagined horrible quality, no reason to believe reliability with these mass orders from there, shipping and other factors is making me stay away. Too bad though, because if it was easier to order from there, i'd consider getting some things if shipping was $20-25 like with most orders from the area.

[xcoldricex]

warned you guys the first time...

[giancarlo]

who says that shipping is that high and the quality is horrible ? did you ordered there ?

[1995chardx]

i got charged 85 for shipping at first (total shipping for the whole order was appox 300) but was refunded 40 bucks yesterday for my part...so im guessing shipping is about 150-200 bucks now

[ktothe]

If this goes through PM there are a few things Id like to order.

[Lucas]

The order is going through tommorow so pm me anyone who's interested we need at least 2 to 3 more people to have the shipping at like 40 each.

[scfdefinit]

It's gonna cost $40 on top of the order just for shipping?

[Lucas]

Of cource its a huge order being shipped from korea but it depends how many people we have obviously the more people order the less shipping will be for everyone.

If we don't have enough people i think the best idea is to go through 2000db even though he's really busy and seems like it will take a month or longer to receive the orders.

[hollaforadolla]

nvm 10 characteresses

[tsukasa]

might have been interested, but with shipping being so high, I rather wait and see the results of the order.

[ktothe]

Yeah I'll wait for the next order then, I guess.

[Lucas]

hollaforadolla will be taking over orders from zipia.net i'm just a little tied up since i'm moving and just got back from europe this week. He is a good guy and has experience with buying and selling.

please pm him three things if you wish to partake in the orders:

1. the items you want to order including color and size if applicable.

2. your zip code so he can calculate the amount of shipping from my house to his. or your country with the city if you dont live in the united states.

3. your email

[itzkoolkidkam]

Whats a size one convert into u.s (small, medium, etc)? Im guessing its an x-small?

Uhhhh... can 2000dB do Korean orders too?

[glenn]

$40 for shipping per person is really expensive.

anyways it seems that some members of this forum have experience in running a proper business, how bout you guys try to arrange some pallet shipping through them. should be hell of a lot cheaper.

[dismalfuture]

BTW you guys sketching out on Korean sizing, yeah, it's gonna be all over the place. I haven't bought a piece of clothing here in a long time but nothing is standardized, and it's either gonna be cut much smaller than expected (likely) or the opposite. Koreans are in this uncomfortable stage where we're all like 5'5 or 6'4, depending on what year we were born in and whether we are lactose intolerant.

[DJ2xTech]

i know another forum who's being doing zipia orders for a long time and I don't think they ever had such a hassle buying stuff or paid that high shipping...

maybe girls clothes just weigh less...

[TwelveAM]

I would suggest you guys do a local group buy.

The shipping was EMS and arrived in 2-3 days for me.

Shipping was first estimated at $300, but they only used $168, so I refunded the rest who were involved.

The cost of the total items was $950+$168 basically for 34 pieces amongst 7 people.

But it all depends on the weight of your item for the final shipping.

that's great, thanks for the info ben!

[poly800rock]

from reading this thread, wouldn't it be much easier and perhaps same value to just do individual buys from japanese stores? B/c what you're getting seems to be a mystery korean knockoff of japanese stuff anyways...just my opinion though

[tsukasa]

Well they seem to be knock offs of not just japanese stuff but a lot of stuff. Also some of them are blatent fakes (saw a fake super dry hoodie and energie knit while browsing). I am sure most people are ordering the non branded stuff anyways.

Sizing seems to be small to medium for most of the one size items, just based on the measurements. If they give weight on the order sheet, then probably it would be most fair to divide the initial shipping by weight, and maybe everyone else chip in to pay for some or all of the person doing all the shipping out share.

they have measurements. its around a small to x small

[BoardC3]

[chinoy]

[evisu 2000]
