Buying on Taobao: Final Phase

This morning my item finally arrived!! This is the final phase of my Taobao purchase. For those of you who missed the first two parts, I'm documenting the entire process of me buying something on Taobao using a shopping service! here is part 1.. here is part 2.

Now unto the review!

As mentioned in part 2 I picked Singapore Air mail as my shipping method because it's the cheapest. TaobaoRing told me that it'll take 15-30 days for the item to arrive, and at worst 2 months. On February 18 TaobaoRing shipped my item, and I got it today, March 13 (14 days). Actually according to the postal tracking it was already in Ireland since yesterday.

Here's how it was packed:

It was covered in bubble wrap so I'm very happy.

Here's the product itself (I was going to make this into a gif but it made the quality of the images really shizy. So warning: pic spam!)

Not gonna lie, it was much smaller than I thought:

I thought it was gonna be like 4cm long. But that was my fault for not reading the product description lol. 

As mentioned in part 2, TaobaoRing told me that the seller sent in a free gift, which is a macaron earring. Here's a pic:

It's surprisingly super super super light. I think it's made of styrofoam. What I find weird about this is that the seller sent me just that one earring. 

But yeah. So that's it! This is the first time I've ever used a Taobao shopping service and let me tell you I'm super pleased. I highly recommend TaobaoRing. Their customer service is excellent. They always reply really quick and are very helpful and polite. I've actually gone ahead and ordered two more of these bottle necklaces from another seller, still using TaobaoRing.
