I have always been curious how to order dresses from China.
Even before I was planning to start a RTW online shop, I have already bumped
into several whole sale websites I can find online. But I get hesitant to buy
since it’s from China and we all know that purchasing from abroad will some Customs
Tax when delivered that is why I backed out.
Just now I’ve got some penny to spare, I tried ordering to
one of the many websites I have bumped into. Fashion71.net also sells items
from China and claimed to be at a wholesale price. But then I think their price
is a bit higher compared to one of the sites I have found but I’m not gonna
mention. What makes me order from this is their lower charge for shipping, which is I am more concerned with.
I first search for reliable reviews online about this site
and found one which I forgot the link. She ordered and got it delivered after a
week. Then I tried to make my own order for a couple of dresses and use DPEX as
my courier. The dresses were of good quality, it’s the same one we see on malls
too. The local courier who delivered was LBC, I think they are tied-up with
DPEX or Toll Express, whatever it is.
And what is the thing I was most happy about? There was no
Customs Tax! I guess I’ll be shopping again at Fashion71.net.
Hi :) No customs tax? Seriously? A blogger also told me that there are no customs tax when it comes to fashion71 or I guess from DPEX. When are you going to purchase another items from Fashion71? May I know kung Ilan po weight nung pinadala mo? Matagal ko na po kasing gusto umorder talaga sa Fash71 eh, naninigurado lang ako :)) Sana po makareply kayo.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, yes no tax was collected. I even made sure with the guy who delivered if wala ba akong babayaran. Wala naman daw, sabi nya. nakalimutan ko na kung ilan ang weight non kasi iba yung nasa parcel at yung calculation sa site. Basta, it was for 2 items only na magkasya sa large transpack ng LBC. I'm not sure if kung kahun2 ang bibilhin mo, baka may tax na yun. hehe.
DeletePag may extra money ulit, baka bibili ako ulit sa kanila. hehehe.
Hi, I've been looking for a site where I could shop internationally and not get scammed... Is this site legit? And is it worth buying from them? Also, how long did it take for you items to come. I also went to asiaclothing.net but thought it was a scam. the prices are high for shipping. Have you shopped there before?
DeleteHi Edeltha McGee
DeleteYup, fashion71 is legit. It took almost 1 week to get items throug DPEX. Please note I am from Philippines. Transit time may be different if you are from a different country. Items were of good quality though, not as good as those with branded items.. but yeah, I love the dresses i ordered from them.
I have not tried asiaclothing yet... Happy shopping!
What are the other wholesale sites you like to shop?
ReplyDeleteFor international sites, its Fashion71.net. i have not tried any other shops yet.
DeleteIf you are from the Philippines, you might want to try Little Emily.
I just got so annoyed and disappointed by their service. They do not double check your orders. My order is in Boston which should be shipped in Philippines. Even if you give your zip code. They should have checked that my provided province, city and zip code is not found in Boston. And the only answer i got from them is that I should have check my information + they double check randomly. Tsk! Tsk! This will add additional cost to buyers wherein originally, we are hoping that we saved a lot from them because their marketing adds is they sell "CHEAP" clothes. har! har!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about what happened... :(
DeleteThere will be no tax if the weight of your item is below 5 kg:) just don't order too much. I'm an online seller for 5 years now and fashion71 is one of my supplier. :)
ReplyDeleteganun pala yun... Thanks for the info. I'll try to order again with more dresses as long as di lalagpas ng 5kg... hehehhe.. I'm glad you shared it...
Deletewhat if i'll purchase several different things... like a bag+shoes+clothes na di magkakasya sa transpacks nila that they'll need to use a box pero d naman siya lalagpas sa 5kg limit walang tax pa rin ba yan?
Deletehi Anonymous,
DeleteI'm not sure about it na... ang alam ko lang kasi yung nakasya sa transpack nila wala tax pag madeliver sa yo...
hi ms. jamrhea Ledesma magkno po ang tax na pwede bayaran pag lampas na po ng 5kilos?
DeleteHi, can you please mention the name of the other shop you said above? Is it causewaymall? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, may i know what mode of payment you used when you purchased at fashion71.net?
ReplyDeleteit is through paypal...
DeleteCan I pay through visa card?
Deleteyeah, i think so.. i think their visa payment is through papypal too.
DeleteHello sis ssaera halimbawa naman lumagpas ang order ko ng 6kilo may tax kaya saka magkanu kaya
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I honestly don't know na... Takot akong mg order nang bulk from abroad dahil sa tax... :)
DeleteDon't buy from this website!!! I had a horrible experience from them. They are just cheating your money. First of all, the clothes do not look like the pictures at all. Secondly, the clothes I ordered came with big stains and missing parts. When I asked them about it they told me to fix it myself. Horrible clothes and horrible service. Out to cheat people's money.
ReplyDeleteHello . Yung 5kilos mga ilang dress na kaya yun?Thanks
ReplyDeletedepende sa tela ng items mo.. may ibang tela na mabigat kasi.. but for sure it is more than 10 items
DeleteHi do you know how much it will cost for postage to New Zealand and is it US dollars ??? As I'm a New Zealander
ReplyDeletehi hopie, I am not really sure how much it would cost to NZ, but you may refer to their shipping FAQ page. Also, it is automatically calculated when you add an item to your cart.
DeleteOk sweet and I also would like to know if I purchase 3things 2x-shoes and a dress would it cost more for postage/shipping
ReplyDeletei am not sure, but afaik, their shipping is based on weight.
DeleteHi Hopie,
DeleteDid you buy anything from F71? I live in NZ too and was going through alot of reviews about online sellers. If you don't mind could you please tell me the quality of the clothes and whether it arrived on time, etc. Any infor is really valuable. thanks in advance
sorry i didn't :( but if you do can you please post a comment of results
Deletehi magkanu naincur na charge for shipping fee for that 2 items?
ReplyDeletetanung qu pu, san pu mas mura western or m0ney gram? mtagal q n pu kc gusto bumli sa fashion71
ReplyDeleteHi, I paid through paypal kasi, I do not know if magkano ang bayad if sa money gram or western union.
Deletepaano magbayad?
ReplyDeleteHi GirlsClosetShoppe
DeleteI paid via paypal, but i think they also have other payment channels if you have no paypal. :)
hello ssaera cadabara, are they going to add the shipping cost to the price of the product? i am a bit confused if shipping cost will cover it all or not because i am new to this international online shopping. :) thanks
ReplyDeleteproduct price does not include shipping fee. Shipping fee is different and you can view it on your cart before checkout, you can even chose what shipping co. you want with its estimated price. Shipping fee is calculated according to the weight of your order.

Hi p0!
ReplyDeleteIm fro. Philippines po. Ako Visa card user. ung curency po auto convert n sya d ba? ( hehe baguhan lng po kasi ako dito) tska po anu po ung pinaka suggested shipping surier n pipiliin ko ?
Hi Paul,
DeleteThanks for dropping by. I am actually not sure, coz during my order I paid through paypal. If you have linked your card with your paypal, it will be automatically converted. I am not sure kasi whats the best courier, but it will show naman upon check out kun ano yung mas mura. depende rin kasi if how many kilos yung purchase mo.
:)
Oki po try ko po i link ;) hmmm bale ilang weeks or days po ang aantayin ko para makuha ang item? Kc parang holiday ngaun tsaka wala ng chat
Deleteyung sakin 1 week, pero kasi Chinese new year baka sayu matagalan yung processing... check mo nlang sa website nila Fashion71.net kung ano ang order processing or schedule nila sa Chinese new year.
Delete:)
Hi ate! Sa tingin m ba safe gumamit ng debit pag nagorder? or credit and visa? And how long po ung delivery pag sa canada?
ReplyDeleteYeah, i think safe naman. delivery to Canada, I don't know. depende yata kasi yan eh. May information naman sila site nila.. :)
DeleteMay nkapagsbe kc sken te n hnd dw safe gumamit ng debit pag online shopping, mrme dw kcng scam at knukuha ung laman ng card. Mas safe rw ung credit kaso wla p q nun T.T ano sa tingin m te?
ReplyDeletei connect mo nlng sa paypal. para di mo na kailangan i expose yung card details mo if u wish to buy using your debit. aside from that, many online shops in the Philippines also accepts paypal na rin like zalora, lazada cebu pac, etc, kahit sa ebay and other small scale online shop sa fb. magagamit mo rin.
DeleteHi i am from south africa any living from in south africa ever purchase from fashion71 - i am new to this online shopping and am rather skeptical. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know. I am just a customer too. :)
DeleteI really loved your review.I placed an order from this site but when I tracked my order it says my tracking number is invalid.Did you face any problem like this??
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that! Fortunately, I didn't have that issue during my order..
DeleteHi , For clarifying all of you. the one did not put taxes is DPEX. they are the only company did not put taxes when your items is 1- 5 kilos. that's why when you make purchasing chose DPEX OR TOLL AS A COURIER
ReplyDelete@ssaera cadabra...if I'm reading correctly you ordered from them once in 2013 and yet you are like a spokesperson for them still answering questions from potential customers. I find that extremely strange....do you or don't you work for them and trying to drum up business for them???
ReplyDeleteNO. i don't work for them nor get paid for this post. I just like replying to comments. Is it that bad?
DeleteI will close comments on this post to avoid any confusion.
