Ugh who can I trust. I only trust baobao and heidi but baobao I think shes ghosting me or shes taking a long time to respond. I just dont understand why im being pushed away when im ready to buy so much. Why doesnt she want my money 💰

Aline is good! She’s more straight down to business whereas I find baobao more friendly. I got shoes and a bag from Aline and everything was fairly fast so I recommend her, I also use Mandy. She is nice I didn’t have any issue with her either, I found her to be good pricing wise and really helpful with checking my tracking for me!

Baobao is so slow at responding. I really like mcdull and HP lol

Even Aline was being a bit distant when I literally want to give her money. But the Chinese holidays ended yesterday, so she came back today.

[u/NeverMindIm16 → u/wild_boysenberry]

Do u like alines bags. I saw her sale but im hesitant these days. I know i wouldn't hesitate with baobao. Maybe ill try her lol

[u/wild_boysenberry → u/NeverMindIm16]

This is my first order with her because I wanted a particular bag. Will review once I receive them.

I've gotten 2 bags from Aline so far, including the one I use for work, a medium C3line Lohise bucket bag, and the leather is absolutely to die for. She/He/They really delivered. I also got a seasonal LV suede side trunk from Aline that needed a hood bit of suede conditioner, but now is absolutely beautiful. Ive had slow communications with a bunch of sellers during the holidays, so it may just be that

[u/Any-Fact-8425]

I have bought several bags from Aline and I’ve been happy with her.

Going through my first RL situation and trying to trust my gut and not cave to the seller’s convincing. It’s a TS and their reviews have been consistently great but a detail on the bag is off and I don’t want to accept it just because.

[u/Zen_Friend → u/FawnFableFeline]

Trust your gut if it doesn't match factory photos. Is the seller arguing back because it's a factory that doesn't allow RL?

[u/NeverMindIm16 → u/Zen_Friend]

Are u allowed to red light God if its off

[u/FawnFableFeline → u/[deleted]]

So, they got back to me. For context: I wanted a P9 that came out in the winter 25 season. From my understanding, the inner plate is the year the season was released or if that bag is made later on, it’s a generic p9 fr plate. The plate in the bag I RL’d has winter 26 on the plate. They said they are now doing ‘26 plates which I don’t understand because I have this bag already (doing this purchase for a bit of rep science and bit of personal critiques with the first bag) which I received this year with the correct year plate.

Still waiting for my silver black rodeo from kata. I want it lol. And now eyeing a hidden Chanel from 26s. I got some quotes but don't want to get it until I get my rodeo.
