I live in China and Taobao is a hit or miss but after being here for over 6 years we have many many tricks to not get scammed or get the better quality
Pls share the tricks
Whats the tricks?
There are some specific shops. But usually what I do is just check comments (the more comments you see the easier it will be to know if it’s good or not), and you should know how the fabric should look like. Through the comments you can know if the quality is good or bad.
I was about to comment almost the exact same thing
@@Lehindz not sure if it's like aliexpress, but i imagine it's similar - shop names are also important. if it's just some random numbers and letters big chance it won't be a good experience.
Hey Naomi, you can’t ship directly from Taobao to Germany, but there’s a solution! Taobao agents (third party agents) can buy the items for you and then ship them to Germany using DHL, UPS, or other couriers. Works and is cheaper and much much faster than your method haha
How does that work, and can you recommend one?
Plssss recommend one 😢
@@jessicaw6556 I saw someone in the comments mentioning "Superbuy"
@@leonierogner193142agent or CNfans are 2 trusted ones :)
Cnfans is one of the agents :3
Don’t ever apologize for talking and given the backstory on these orders I find it so interesting of what you have to go through to get things to you so never apologize for speaking and giving backstory. We love it.
Agreed! Plus I'm personally always super anxious about ordering from abroad since it's a whole process every time, so it's nice to see others do it first. ^^
Gurl bfrr. We don’t want talking.. she literally talked 15 minutes and 10 minutes was the clothes
American living in China, Taobao is so fun once you know the shops you like and find similar ones with the algorithm! It’s like Etsy Amazon, in mainland almost everything is so cheap and shipping is 2-4 days
The thing with Taobao is that it is a huge marketplace with anything, from new to used, from boutique brands to wholesale. Naomi got good stuff because she paid for the quality. She ordered from legitimate small brands and paid like $45-120 for each item, which is quite expensive. The mistake people make is that they go for the cheap stuff, like clothing for $2-15, and then get disappointed when they get Shein/Temu/Wish tier quality. You get what you pay for.
you should use a shipping service next time, like superbuy for example, they forward your items from china to germany with a small service fee and you don't have to go through this complicated process lol 😅
yesss in my country we have similar shipping services because buying things online and getting them delivered is a pain!
Thanks so much!
Would that work if I want to sell to China?
Lots of these forwarders are scam and won‘t really forward the goods.
@@SpanishPapi-vo5ib superbuy isn't a scam, it's the biggest shopping service out there for taobao, check the internet
That 2D outfit at the end really kicked a$$!!! Loved the montage for it too lol
right the montage was so funny I absolutely LOVED it 😭
With the Hello Kitty socks. But She looks good in purple!!!!
Yes so cool, imagine it with a 2D makeup look. That would be amazingggg
The 2D anime-ish outfits are looking GORGEOUS on you! So satisfying watching our queen Naomi try all those fun things ☺
It was cool af!!! Love Naomi living her anime fantastyyyy
True. I would also wear those clothes outside, just not the hat/wig, and only one thing at a time, and I have a casually sporty style. They are great.
That piece is actually a copy from a pretty amazing brand called cfierce and wings on the original isn’t even attached it is a separate piece that can be used in multiple ways😊
@@lawrencemendoza5515 She said in the video she bought those pieces from cfierce.
She was ordering from cfierce
24:21 shes having her main character moment
Factttttt 🤣✨
This video got a like purely for that montage 😂
24:37….poof💨🥦 I’m cry laughing SO HARD!! 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣MANGUR is your look girl!
All the outfits!!! You slayed so hard! Thanks for the video and always bringing some fun and unique fashion choices!!! I actually loved the looks!
there's something so comforting about watching naomi's videos while being sick 😮💨🫶
As someone who is sick too, can relate
@@tiha444 same and yesss!
period comfort for me 😵💫
Aaww we can all be sick together and comfort watch ❤
As some one who is sick all the time I love naomi
I lived in Hong Kong for most of my life so I’m familiar with TaoBao and their sometimes iffy quality of products. I’m so surprised everything was a hit for this video cuz TB has some good stuff on there but they’re difficult to find, especially for someone who doesn’t read Chinese and has no prior experience of shopping on there. Nice work Naomi!!
I think because she ordered from actual brands and not essentially drop shippers.
@@hey_boss88Yes. If I'm not mistaken, she mentioned that she knew the 3 shops recommendations from that one video at the beginning of the video.
They are not difficult to find. Taobao’s quality increased drastically post Covid. I’ve been purchasing from Covid since pre covid and the quality difference is extremely stark. I rarely get bad quality stuff now
I feel like the closest comparison I have to Taobao is Etsy, after Etsy has been overtaken by drop shippers. Taobao is essentially the same thing. Small businesses and original designers/creatives will run their stores and sell stuff on there, but so will people just trying to make a quick buck.
yeah thats pretty accurate same for aliexpress although its easier to point out scammers on there
Naomi! The pink/ green/ camouflage halter neck dress is super easy to amend! Take thin elastic and sew it to the sides (starting around your hip bone area all the way down until you reach the ruffles, dont sew it on the ruffles) of the dress whilst stretching. It will make rhe dresss shorter and in ny opinion give it more fun look. It will take lile 10-15 minutes if you use sewing machine ❤
I just loved vincent's response to the last outfit, he really mothered with that answerrrr but not in the yasss slay way but in a real confused parent figure seeing it's child cosplay for the first time
Girrrrrl. I am loving the concert clips intro
SHE LOOKS STUUUUUUNNING!!!!!!!!! OUR MAMA BROCCOLI 💚🥦
Thanks I put a lot of effort into it on stage & also editing it 🥰
@@naomijonplease come to the US soon! Texas specifically 🤭 Me and my cousins alone could probably buy up all the VIP tickets, we love you! ❤️🎉
@@naomijonalso loving the concert clips!!!!! Love watching your tour vlog and really wish you can come to the us sometime!!!!! Seattle please!
@@naomijon We ARE waiting for you in the US🇺🇸
Avid taobao user here! I buy a lot of things off of tb especially clothing as they are usually very cheap or sometimes small gadgets and furniture when I'm in Malaysia back home. The website has basically everything you can think of literally. The main thing is that you have to ALWAYS read the comments to know if the products are a hit or miss. They also have a question section on top of the comments section where you can ask people who have bought the product regarding information about the product and usually people ask what sizes they should get when they are this height and this weight etc. Also, when it comes to clothing, I always look for photos that buyers posted with a similar body type to mine, and usually there is an indication on the comment with the buyer's measurements and weight along with the size the buyer bought, so it serves as a great reference. Although I have bought few things that became staples in my wardrobe which I love to wear so much there are certainly some misses, but it's not too expensive so it's fine. They have an image search function too to find listings for similar pieces which is very handy if you're trying to recreate outfits!
Also I think the website certainly caters to chinese speaking users and a lot of items doesn't ship outside of asia so as I'm living in Europe rn I basically I haven't able to get anything off of tb
@@kazuewong768 it does....beacuse that is who the sites made for, lol its not really for people outside of it, youd have to use a proxy to buy from them
As a Taobao user for MANY MANY YEARS, it’s been such a good platform for me to experiment and try out different styles because of how affordable the clothes are. It’s definitely a hit or miss, especially when it comes to sizing, but I would say for me 90% of the time they’re hits (Of course, it definitely helps that I speak a lil bit of Chinese and can read and see the reviews) Not all the best quality pieces, but definitely great for style experimentation!
P.S To anyone who is looking to shop on Taobao, a tip I have is to ALWAYS look at the review pictures. There are filters to let you pick the specific size/style you’re intending to buy as well. I will always try and find a picture of someone with a similar body shape to me wearing it so that I can have the most accurate gauge of how it’ll look like on me. IMO it’s the most accurate way to see if the piece are actually good or not!
OH ALSO! It’s way easier to shop on their mobile app compared to the website. It’s so so hard to shops on the website even as someone who speaks Chinese, it’s a mess.
Hope this helps some broccolis out 😚 Sending love from Singapore 😎🥦💚
Affordable? 57$ for a polyester skirt???????? Or more than 100 for weird torn hoodie?
this sounds like great advice, thanks! calling the clothes affordable might be a bit of a stretch though, sadly. they might be on the cheaper side compared to other brands with similar styles, though....
@@bambinaforever1402 Based on my own experience, I’ve rarely paid more than $20USD for a piece of clothing. You have to know where and how to shop to find the good/cheap products. The ones that Naomi bought were “branded” and therefore a lot more expensive (even I was shocked when she revealed the prices). Like in my other reply to this comment, when you search in Chinese rather than in English, you get a lot more items, and usually for a lot cheaper. You can give it a try yourself if you don’t believe me.
@ Hi! My comment was based on my own experience! The clothes that Naomi bought are WAYYY outside the normal prices that I usually pay for my clothes. They’re usually SHEIN priced, or even cheaper sometimes! Naomi probably bought from “branded” stores, which may be why they’re more expensive! My pieces are usually under $20USD per piece!
Is there a way to change the language on the app somehow, i know it isnt in the setting they only have chinese, sonive been using google translate
I love Taobao! There are many great artists and creators who sell on there! I usually use it for buying ball-jointed doll clothes/wigs/accessories. Some artists make everything themselves, some design them and then outsource the production. I almost always use a shipping agent like Superbuy. It’s definitely a good idea like you did to vet the seller/shop first and go from there! This was a fun video, and I would definitely love to see you try more stuff from Taobao!
I lost it when I heard that Inuyasha sound effect. I really love the editing and the commentary on all of these try-on videos. You are making my workday feel light Naomi.
The moment Taco gently rubs his little paw on the dress. ❤❤❤ cuteness overload!
The last outfit was insanely good! The freakin hair alone was just perfection 💜
You absolutely HAVE to wear that for a music video!
Every Sunday I work a 9-6 and during my 1 hours break there’s always a new Naomi video for me to watch, I’m always so excited to see her videos!
the timing is impeccable, you so deserve it!! good luck on ur job, hoping all goes well
You are genuinely one of the very vey few TH-camrs that make me laugh out loud.
I lived in Shanghai, China for 10 years, I loooooove Taobao! You can buy anything/everything there, big brands has official stores in Taobao, also you can find independent designers/brands. All you need is to be mindful of the price while manage the expectation: what you paid = what you get. But there's stuff with good quality & low price as well, just take some time to explore!
The moment with Taci is so real. Whenever my non-cuddly cat cuddles, everething else stopss.❤
College has me extremely worried and stressed but Naomi's videos always brings me immense comfort ❤
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope everything is going well
@@HealthyObbsession thank you for your kind words I hope you're well too :)
Would love to see part two! There is just so many possibilities in Taobao. Maybe try service or custom made products? Eg. Pay someone to write u a melody or a clay figurine of urself or design ur fan merchandise.
What makes us like these videos so much is how real you are about the experience! We THANK you for that!
Okay hear me out.... That pink military dress, I say you do a video where you cut the bottom of that skirt off and either turn that into an actual skirt or you can sew it higher up and make it the dress that you wish it was. I would love to see a video like that, it might be a little chaotic but chaotic and Naomi will always go together in the best way possible 😂❤
love this idea, she could also just chop 1 tier off
That is actually what Vincent's videos are like
@@Lara-zr3ox yes I love Vincent but I wanna see Naomi try and do it lol just to see something new she hasn't tried yet! Ik she can do it 😁
I feel the Taco moment (Wait, is it still a moment if it lasts ten minutes?) so much!
I also just sit there and do nothing until the cat wants to leave itself, no matter how bad I need to pee. 😭
So relatable 😂
average cat owner event, my cat just doesn’t like skin ship AT ALL so it rarely happens for me hahahaha
Same! 😅 I swear my bladder is weakening!!
Oh, and @princessoatmilk A moment, by original definition when first used in the 8th Century, is 90 seconds, although in modern times, it is widely considered to be 60 seconds (from the phrase "give me a minute" or "I'll be there in a minute") or even a matter of seconds or less. When talking in the past tense, it can be used to describe longer periods of time, for example, "they've had their moment in the spotlight". Conclusively, it's a somewhat difficult word to define! - Sorry, English teacher! 🫣
Personally, I like to believe that Naomi and Taci's moment could have lasted forever! So unbelievably cute! 🥰
@TatnTui Oh, no need to be sorry, I am genuinely interested in languages and etymology. :D Thank you for your input on this! 😊
I generally look at clothes like these thinking they are impossible to style and pull off and then you rock them. This is a skill
14:03 she layin down like she Bella in twilight with Edward in the meadow 😂😂💜💜
sometimes I think about if her closet has magic because of the amount of clothes Naomi has with all of these hauls she gives us
TaoBao or CFierce part 2 please!! These videos are so fun!
24:06 OH MY GOD 😂😂 I love your creativity and sense of humor
i think a shopping service/agent would make this way easier on you! its basically a business you can ship your order to and then they send it to you. if you're interested i would love to see another taobao haul, the clothes you got are so interesting!!
What shipping agent do you recommend
It starts at 9:40 for the impatients like me
Your tenacity with ordering these things is impressive, Amazon once sent me a dictionary in the wrong language and I started dry heaving and had to be talked off a ledge to return it
17:08 so that is the biblically accurate angel everyone was talking about
13:08 OOOOMMGGG U DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS
i've always been tempted by TB, I needed this vid for so many reasons THANK YOU QUEEN
I really like the Lime sweater look. Everything from the leather tie to the leg warmers and that Bag just had me gasping for more
Das letzte Outfit und eine Choreo dazu ist ein absoluter Banger xD
hurry the queen posted👑
This wig will never get old, iconic.
Your style is so chaotic and I love it
I love how you aren't afraid to embrace the weird....Loved this vid and yes to more like it 💜💜🤍🤍❤❤
I really like that you didn't buy typical fast fashion items but products from people who design these by themselves. Thank you for not promoting fast fashion even further
mother is spending so much money for our entertainment 😭🙏
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS
The last one is giving me hardcore Borderlands vibes and i love it!
13:18 STOOOOOPPPP!!! I just about died of cuteness!!!
that last outfit had me in hysterics omfggg it's too good
NAOMI!! Buy a sewing machine! Try making a video making changes to the outfits you want to fit you better 💗 I bet you can do it 💓
Vincent had a sewing machine and I think he already does the changes sometimes
your song "Cupids Arrow" made me so emotional in a good way. I frikkin LOVE it! and love you!
the last outfit is absolutely FANTASTIC! It's so fun and neat, and the "wig" just makes it all work, I personally love it.
Honestly, NAOMI FINDS WAYS!! 👏🏼 ❤❤ and she gives the girls what they want. So dedicated, love it. One of my fav YTs
This is now my favourite video of you! So hilarious 😂 literally LOL. Outfits are out of this world btw❤
Conflicted cause watching how happy this makes Naomi is amazing but the environmental impact and ethics behind this type of shopping and shipping is really hard to stand behind. It also hurts to see so many influencers rave and promote this type of consumerism
She regularly spends thousands(!) on cheaply made items she saw in some TikTok video and has them shipped around half the globe... expecting any sort of ethics from her is a bit much.
I feel the same way :/
I have nothing against her testing clothes or shops, but I still remember the time when she criticized shops like Temu and now she orders tons of clothes from such shops instead of perhaps buying from sustainable shops. In addition, you don't have to order for €1000 if you want to test a shop
Thank you this comment and the replies on it. Just because people like her, she shouldn't be able to get away with this hyperconsumerism just because it's for a video. She should equally be held accountable for her actions. It's disappointing.
These are small individual shops with real creatives behind them though, not one single fast fashion company.
Ive never been so satisfied and happy watching a video of ppl order studf online like ong bro im ao happy woth this😭😭this was ALLLL ABSOLUTELY PERFECTTTTTT THE BESTT MOST AMAZONG😭😭😭MY HEART IS HEALED
Thanks for posting more frequently again🥺 need you for my mental health!!
If she had done Jojo make up with that last outfit it would fit so well! It is 100% an anime convention outfit. Thank you for always bringing us amazing content no matter how insane the outfits can look you always make them look good.
I never laughed so much to a video editing before 😂😂 love it 2D is really the way to go
Girl I'm dying at the last outfit 😭😂
The final outfit was the most crazy one
I LOVVVVVVE ITTTT !!!😍
Last outfit - you are EVERYTHING! 💘💘💘💘
Temu, Alibaba, and all are pretty much from Taobao. Taobao is one of the best, if not the best, online shops in China. You can literally buy anything. Someone even ordered a live squirrel (not sure how that happened). But it can be crazy.
😮 That last outfit, switch the purple/lavender theme with hot pink/baby pink theme..... I would wear that outfit everyday 😂
0:14 *cries in latam*
Frrr 😭 costa rica rep
me
me too ;;
Feliz de no ser el único latino q mira a Naomi KSMELFMDK 💔💔💔💔💔
No soy la unicaaaaaaaa
The last outfit SCREAMS 2D make up video and putting that outfit on 🤩
Sooo cute when Naomi goes to show Vincent and her face is so happy and devious
The not moving so you can cuddle with your cat is so real
You always make my sundays so much better💋
Actually yes Taobao do ship to germany❤❤❤❤ idk if i shouod have told you that or not but yeah they do ship to germany.
Wie sind die Versandkosten nach Deutschland? :)
1 Miljoen euro@@lindar5456
Oh wow. Naomi, actually reads her comments and responds. That is her staying grounded down to earth and not thinking she is better than us. In 2025 that is so refreshing to see. There are content creators who have like only 100k followers and they think they are to good to interact with their audience. Thank you Naomi for staying humble and true to yourself.
as someone who lives in china i’m impressed that those clothes fitted so well, i myself still struggle with size so you were really lucky !!
OMG the cat bag at 22:33 is a NEED knew u would get it when u showed the whole website literally screaming Naomi 💗🎀Confused at the price is it $120?
she probably included customs? that confused me as well
13:33 this was too cute ☹️
I’m ready for another iconic video
I hope Naomi considers launching her own fashion line one day! i feel like she would create such unique pieces ~
Wow the last outfit is out of this world !!!! And i'm not even into anime stuff ❤ hats off to the creators
I didn't expect to see Sweet Potatoes on there 3:00 😂😂
13:05 omg, it's so cute on youu so pretty
They do ship to Germany. It's 德国
I'm a new subscriber/follower. I just wanted to say I adore your content. You are funny, cute, and so talented! Every video is just so much fun! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
Naomi always looks so GORGEOUS
I hate how underrated you are, people actually need to see a real hard worker like you. Any ytber might have given up but you didn'tt
She has 3 million followers. I don't think that's considered underrated 😂
No like sssniperwolf anol, she has 20 million now, but I don't see her putting this much effort at all
@KimTaehyung-sg5hm I get it. 3 million is still a ton of people if we aren't comparing.
Yes i deffo agree
@KimTaehyung-sg5hm sssniperwolf is not someone I would want to compare to at ALL. Sub count aside, Naomi is way more classy.
NAOMIIIIIIIII❤ PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN . I loved these pieces. The site looks like there's alot of interesting stuff
8:22 feel you ;'(
Sameee
i was dead sick yesterday and didnt come into the office- today i am still sick and in the office, but that anime purple outfit montage just made my day and its barely 9:31 am here :) thanks mama brocco!
The wings in the hoodie 😭😍😍😍
i feel like these websites and merchants that use them are the ones that contribute the worst to climate change with over consumption. Im getting scared with the amount of waste created nowadays and the fact that a new website selling all the same stuff comes up every month. its sad
sure.. it's the small brands on taobao. you say the same thing about etsy?
@@shinkayee Taobao is owned by Alibaba and is known for selling fake goods and pirated software. It's not some kind of angelic small business helping platform.
When you make these clothing videos, you should wear a neutral-coloured wig so that it doesn't clash with the outfits. it's hard to see the items when they are overpowered
I used to really love your videos but now I can’t stop thinking about how much stuff you actually consume for those videos. Plus giving a platform for another obvious fast fashion seller. I never see you wearing the clothes you shop in your videos on instagram and stuff.
She has been making this kind of content for years tho, right? Im conflicted bc i love her content but we cant pretend its hasnt been this kinda consumerist crap for years.
Taobao is not fast fashion. Just because it’s a Chinese marketplace doesn’t make it fast fashion. Why is it that other countries can sell stuff that’s made in China without having their entire country’s reputation be affected by these negative stereotypes but somehow China takes all the heat? You CAN buy fast fashion on Taobao but it’s such a small percentage in the grand scheme of things they sell on there. They sell everything. Small designers/slow fashion brands sell their stuff there too.
Naomi, the Hello Kitty dress is so beautiful and suits you so well 😍
The last outfit is genius and funny
Naomi if you ever come to Australia on tour I’ll 100% be buying vip tickets, don’t want to miss a chance to see you live! You’re slaying right now and I’m so happy for you girly!
Fast Fashion Kills individuality, everyone just shops tons of clothes💀
I love you so much but I loved this channel even more before the main content became consuming/spending money-oriented tbh ❤💔
