Personally insulting the fans of every NBA superstar and also Chris Paul
Lebron James - The easy joke here is that you are somebody who doesn’t really know anything about basketball and just picked the guy you recognised from Space Jam or adverts, but the truth runs a little bit deeper than that. If Lebron James is your favourite player you don’t even like basketball, you like arguing online. The sad truth is, you desperately crave the facade of friendship that comes with the tribalism inherent to picking a side in a popular argument. You exist only to say Lebron is better than Jordan or Curry or Dwyane Wade or whoever it is you and your gang are arguing about that week. Any game of basketball that doesn’t have Lebron in it is completely worthless to you unless it can be used as evidence about a player that Lebron played with/against. Any game with Lebron in it is a nightmare, because you know if he plays badly MJ fans will make fun of you on Twitter, and to you that’s all that matters. Steph Curry - To be a Curry fan means that, intrinsically, you are spoiled. Your hands are soft and unworked, your mummy still pays for your groceries and you have a manservant to wipe your ass when you’ve finished shitting. You were raised on state-funded winning and excuses for failure. You would never survive even a day in the wild, you shrink from adversity like a child fleeing the hand of an abusive father and you speak like a ten-year old. You have no place in the dirtier arguments of the NBA, you consider yourself above them. Steph and his superteam have coddled you, made you feeble with his asterisk rings. The thought of supporting a REAL player, somebody you have to FIGHT for scares you too much. You are, and forever will be, bitchmade. Kawhi Leonard - You will never understand why the rest of us are so jealous of you. Kawhi has his rings, he has his fan love and he has an excuse to retire early and not embarrass you with the sight of having to watch him average 7 points a game for the Grizzlies at the age of 36. You support a basketball player who isn’t. Kawhi is now little more than a myth, a legend of the rings of yesteryear that echoes throughout the barren planes of San Antonio and Toronto. All you, as his trusted liege can do is keep the flame alive for as long as you can. The winds may howl and call him a pussy for his load management but as long as you shelter the flame, and Kawhi keeps conveniently getting injured when the Clippers need him, you will be safe. They will always remember the Philly shot. That’s all you need. Joel Embiid - He can’t keep getting away with this, right? I mean, you put in WORK to get him that MVP, more work than he did, and this is how he repays you? You remember a time when you laughed at the fans of ringless players. AI, Melo, Lillard, Chris Paul, Harden until he saw the light, all bums. Embiid would get you a ring, he was designed to get you a ring, he had to get you a ring. You deserve a ring. You sat through the rebuild, all those injury problems, Ben fucking Simmons, all because you were promised a ring. And every year you would say ‘we lost because of this thing that isn’t Embiid’s fault, we’ll be back next year!’. And for a while, the public believed you. They bought your tales and your lies. Not anymore. They know the truth now, and they hate him for it. Deep down, you do too. Kevin Durant - How many times will KD ‘seek a new challenge’ or ‘make the move right for him’ before you come to terms with what he is? He’s a nasty ring chaser, and that’s okay. Everyone would respect you more if you just admitted it. You can cope all you want and justify all his moves by claiming ‘toxic environment!’ or ‘the front office hated him!’ but even you don’t believe that, you just say it to save face. The worst part is, you haven’t heard the worst of it yet. KD has gone remarkably unscrutinized by NBA media as a whole, but when people start to question whether the most remarkable unicorn the NBA had seen since Wemby should have more than two state-funded rings, you might have some explaining to do. Maybe he should have stayed loyal to Oakland. Not OKC though, fuck that place. James Harden - I want you to find a coin right now and flip it, catch it in your hand and turn it over. Take note of what side it lands on and keep flipping it until it lands on the other side. If you can flip this coin 56 times and have it land on the same side every time, congratulations! You have matched the statistical probability of the 2018 Rockets missing 27 consecutive threes. What this exercise should show you is that God is real and for whatever reason, he hates James Harden. Spare your soul and support a real player instead. Giannis Antetokounmpo - Nobody has ever enjoyed a Giannis performance without already being a fan of Giannis in the first place. He is perhaps the most consistently boring superstar to watch. He never takes threes unless they’re wide open, he has never had a super interesting or acrobatic dunk, he loves free throws and he makes about 14 barely contested layups per game. He has no dribbling bag and his defence relies on simply being large. He is a boring player, and you know this, because that’s why you like him. Your idea of ‘good basketball’ is simply the person who can score the most points with the highest efficiency. You live and die by the box score because you genuinely think that’s the objective way of saying who had the best game. You could be sat in front of an Excel spreadsheet instead of a Bucks game and have essentially the same amount of fun, because your brain has been programmed to release dopamine whenever it sees three numbers over 10 next to each other. You are boring, we all think you’re dull, and when the rest of us are discussing real basketball we don’t want you anywhere near us because your idea of humour is just saying the jokes that Giannis said again. An Allen Iverson comp would kill you on the spot. Russell Westbrook - It would be easy to make a joke about how much you miss 2017 and how you pretended it still is to try and stop the pain from setting in, but to be honest I honestly think you do still genuinely believe it to be 2017. For you, time hasn’t progressed at all. You’ve been known to play Despacito and Ed Sheeran when you get the aux and you can’t stop talking about how excited you are for Infinity War to come out. And yes, you do still somehow believe Russell Westbrook is a good player. Despite all your friends and family pleading with you to move on and showing you Youtube videos of that time he hit the side of the backboard, you firmly believe that Russ is still cooking on the Thunder. I can promise you, it doesn’t get better. Wake up now before we lose you forever. Nikola Jokic. You are a 35 year old white guy with a beard and glasses who would, if asked to, happily pay to get advanced basketball statistics. Your life is filled with words like ‘True Shooting’ and ‘Player Impact Estimate’ that the rest of us couldn’t give a single shit about. You are who KD was talking about when he said people watch basketball through a graph. If I showed you a powerpoint saying that Mike Conley is the piece missing from the Suns to make them chip favourites you would believe me as long as I added in enough bar graphs. You have a poster of Ernie on your wall. You have never discussed basketball without double checking a fact on your phone. When you go to a bar in a city you don’t know you make a big deal about ordering local beers, and if the guy next to you didn’t hear you order it you order it again but louder. You have strong opinions on pirating that nobody agrees with. You are probably a centrist. You have no idea how much I pity you. Luka Doncic - There are two types of Luka fans, the hollow, soulless Mavs fan who physically cannot talk about his team without saying the phrase ‘We just need to get Luka some help’, and the 16 year old jerker who’s brain instinctively goes ‘Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father’ the second they see his name. Both are equally hard to talk to, but at least the Mavs fan has an excuse for their suicidal demeanour. The jerker is barely even a human at this point, a bag of flesh that surrounds an endless stream of catchphrases and recycled memes. Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. If you laughed at that for the second time, seek therapy or employment. Jayson Tatum - Bro I am NOT GAY, I promise but IF I was, IF bro, IF I was then of course I would have sweaty man sex with Jayson Tatum, he’s just cute bro it’s not gay to say that bro it isn’t I swear. What? Tatum’s game isn’t good enough to justify the lengths I’ll go to defend him? He’s not really all that and I only love him so much because I think he’s sexually attractive. Nah bro you’re crazy for that one I won’t lie, just because Tatum’s lips are soft like pillows and I like the way his ass jiggles and I wish the NBA would let him play without a shirt on doesn’t make me gay bro you’re crazy for that one. Zion Williamson - The Great Zion Debate revolves around a single word; ‘if’. IF Zion was to play regularly, he’d probably be top 3 bigs in the league, but guess what? He doesn’t, so he isn't. That should be a very simple thing to understand, but Zion fans love nothing more than to drag everyone into a world full of hypotheticals and make-believe, where anything is possible except Zion’s shitty conditioning being his own fault. Eventually you’ll be spat out of their portal wearing nothing but a lobster bib and a Jose Alvarado jersey, fully believing that it’s AD’s fault that Zion loves food more than he loves his own mother. After all, you can’t say he plays bad if he simply never plays. Damian Lillard - Oh fuck you’re so cool man, you’re so cool because the player you support is so loyal man, that just makes you so much cooler than everyone else man. Ignore all the times you’ve screamed for him to be traded because the Trail Blazers are a complete poverty franchise, that doesn’t matter because Dame is so loyal and cool man, Dame time baby let’s go! Let’s fucking go! Who cares that the current state of the NBA would be exactly the same if Dame was never drafted and spent his entire life delivering DnD equipment to Portland’s extensive collective of people who couldn’t care less about basketball, he’s so clutch! Ignore all the red flags and hope the Lakers come through with a trade request. You’ll need post-season success more than you think in the years to come. Chris Paul - When Chris Paul retires without a ring, which is a near guarantee unless Phoenix fix their shit or he begs Denver to take his dog ass for a season, what will you do? You probably gave up on your hopes of a ring around the same time Harden fans did, but man 2021 gave you hope didn’t it? Just for a second you felt what it was like to support a real player, a real man. Not the banana boat enthusiast who choked leads like they were Bart Simpson, but a player who could maybe win something someday. It must have been nice while it lasted. Then, reality set in. To be honest, I don’t really know who I’m talking to with this one. Chris Paul surely doesn’t have any fans left. He barely even has his own family on his side. Ah well, you’ll always have Lob City. And Kim K. Jimmy Butler - It’s always someone else’s fault isn’t it. Ever since Jimmy realised he could just blame KAT for all the T’wolves failings you’ve carried on that legacy for as long as you can remember. Maybe if Bam plays better against Denver your beloved Jordan surrogate won’t have to be directly outscored by UDFA’s every night. It’s okay though, Jimmy has ‘fundamentals’. You love fundamentals don’t you, they’re that thing you use when you don’t have any actual arguments to say why Jimmy’s better than the perennial MVP candidate you’ve set him up against for no reason. You can whine and cope and say ‘he makes his teammates better’ but if that were true, wouldn’t he have achieved something in Chicago, or with that very promising Minnesota roster? Surely it must be someone else’s fault. Maybe it’s the leagues for hiring referees. Or maybe it’s KAT’s fault again. Who knows. Kyrie Irving - Kyrie fans are the rare breed of basketball fan that actually play basketball, the problem is that they think they’re him with the handles and the ankle breakers and the and-ones, but in reality they are complete fucking garbage. I will never choose you to play pickup with unless you are the last option and I will never pass you the ball because I don’t want to watch you bounce it off your own thigh for 20 minutes. And dude, can you please stop talking about the Zionist New World Order or whatever the fuck you saw on Twitter last night? I fucking doubt the guy with the MAGA Pepe pfp has links deep in the US government, so forgive me for not believing that they put aphrodisiacs in the tap water so that we spend all our money on babies, just help me guard their sharpshooter or fuck off. And wear some deodorant fucking hell. Devin Booker - You know, if a player needs All-Star candidates at every other position on the court just to progress to the Conference Finals, chances are that player isn’t very good. This thought does not register in the mind of the Booker fan, who genuinely believes that KD, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton isn’t enough help. Your greed knows no bounds and will swallow you whole one day, yet in your lust for power you fail to turn inwards. Where was Booker vs the Mavs that one time? Why did he only score 12 points vs the Nuggets this year? Is he stupid? Does he not know he can play well in big games? No, no, clearly the Suns just need to trade Cam Payne and Ayton for Sabonis or AD or some other top 5 big, surely that’s where the problem lies right? Wait, what do you mean salary cap? Ja Morant - Oh man I feel bad for you. You’re probably a guy who just enjoys basketball as a spectacle, who doesn’t particularly care about winning or losing as long as you get to watch the most entertaining players in the league pull off the most ridiculously flashy plays. Isn’t that what we all want, deep down? Maybe you were raised on a healthy diet of Vince Carter or D Rose, maybe you just think a guy who can jump over another guy for a bucket is neat, whatever the answer is you’re trapped with this fucking idiot who can’t keep himself out of trouble. Now the team you touted as the most exciting in the league is the most hated in the league, and through no fault of your own you look like a fucking idiot. Worse still, the sheen has come off the Grizzlies young core and now people actually expect them to start winning, probably without Ja. Consider suing Instagram before Adam Silver demands Ja be burned at the stake for his transgressions against his fellow players. Trae Young - Yes, we all remember that New York series. Yes, we all thought Ice Trae was hot shit at the time. But guess what? That was 2 years ago and Trae has shown no signs of progressions since. Still a liability on defence, still a massive ball hog and still ugly as fuck. Just face the facts and admit that without these rivalries you create, be it with New York or Luka or whoever, Trae would be the most forgettable player in the league. Three point specialists are a dime a dozen in the post-Steph era, and there’s nothing to really separate your fave from Dame or Paul George or De’Aaron Fox or any other number of downtown dwellers. Also like dude, come on, he’s so ugly. Have some self respect. submitted by /u/MasterHandSSBU to r/nbacirclejerk [link] [comments]

▌2021 Guide ▌FashionReps Guide - How To Order | WeGoBuy Agent Guide - Discounts, Tips, Terminology, Customs, Shipping, and More!
Updated For 2021! New Information Available! Click Here For A $40 Wegobuy Sign Up Bonus This guide is simply a reformatted version of Repguides + HyperionFR's and guide because of me forgetting the password to the accounts. If you are too lazy to ready the guides, just watch this video. ▌GUIDE 1.0▐ The Biggest & Best Full WeGoBuy Agent Guide I Introduction II General Info About Taobao Agents III The WeGoBuy Guide + $40 Discount IV FashionReps Terminology & Translations V How to Reverse Image Search VI How To Avoid Customs VII General Tips About Shipping VIII What Happens When Your Haul Gets Seized By Customs IX Useful Links And Seller Stores X Typical Weights Of Each Item XI How To Make Your Haul Cheaper XII I Shipped, Now Where Is My Parcel? ____________________________________ I Introduction /u/repguidesFR here with a revised and detailed update version of the original Full WeGoBuy/FashionReps Newbie Guide and some tips on on how to get your hauls through customs safely. Much of this is copy pasta. After the most recent post I've decided to go back in the history of /r/FashionReps and update a great guide that helped numerous users. This guide will be revised and rewritten to include all the new WeGoBuy tips and tricks to get the best results while using their service! Several things have changed since the last revision of this guide (over two years old!) ____________________________________ II - General Info About Taobao Agents 1. What is an Agent? For new users coming to this sub daily it is hard to directly understand the point of an agent. Be honest, you did not do better in your first days/weeks. So instead of redirecting them to the searchbar just explain it to them in 2 sentences. The main website we buy our reps from is taobao.com. It is like a amazon or eBay for China - solely for China. The problem that results is that we need a connection between your country and China. You cannot buy from TaoBao directly (for most of the countries) and you probably would not understand anything. So here comes the agent in hand. You browse through your favorite TaoBao shops and find some items you want to buy. Now you do not buy it through TaoBao but through your agent (in our case WeGoBuy). WeGoBuy now buys this exact item and lets it deliver to their warehouse. You ask for pictures, measurements, exchanges, returns etc. When everything is fine WeGoBuy will package everything and deliver it to you. They are the connection between you and TaoBao. 2. Which agent to use? I have experience with many agents and it would be fair for me to compare them. I do not want to call out Agents and tell about bad experiences with them but I will tell you that WeGoBuy was the one with the most professional, honest, fast and caring service I could ever experience. If it would not be good it would not be the most popular agent ever. In my last Guide I compared prices of each agents and showed you how there is more than "no service fee", "cheaper shipping costs" since in the end every agent somehow earns his profit. There is no real price difference between agents, just use the one that will give you the best experience. In this Guide I will continue to make examples and tutorials only about WeGoBuy. I am sorry if you use another agent but just keep WeGoBuy in mind when you plan your next haul. 3. Conclusion Use any agent you want, there is very little price differences when it comes to agents and depending where you are located in the world prices will differ. ____________________________________ III - The WeGoBuy Guide + $40 Discount. 1. Signing up + Get $40 Shipping Coupons/Discounts Just press on the little "Sign Up" text on the top right corner and fill in the info. That's it. To redeem your $40 worth of Shipping Coupons you will want to sign up here. Do not worry, signing up is a normal thing. Beware that I would still advise you to use a unique password that you do not use for other websites - Safety reasons. Also don't worry about your payment information such as Paypal - You never enter your Paypal email + password on the WeGoBuy homepage, it always redirects you to Paypal's official website where you log in as usual. WeGoBuy also uses a secure connection between you and them (https). Ordering Process - How to order Find the item you want on Taobao. Use this subreddit, try to find it yourself with image search or Google translate, whatever. For this example, we'll use the A$AP Rocky x Guess Tee from UnionKingdom. Go to WeGoBuy, and hover over the Shopping Agent button on the navbar. Click the blue box and paste your Taobao link into it. You will be taken to a page like this. Here, WeGoBuy translates the color and size options for you, and all you need to do is select the color and size you want. After, you can either Add to Cart or Buy Now. For this example, we'll assume that this shirt it the only thing you want. You will next be taken to this page. Here, you have to select your country from the Choose Destination Country box, then hit submit to be taken to the payment screen. If you have an existing balance in your WeGoBuy account from previous purchases that you have returned, you can use that to buy the product. I have 91.06 yuan in my account already, so I just need to pay 18.94 yuan for this 110 yuan tee. Here, just select Paypal and pay for your order. Sometimes WeGoBuy will not allow you to use PayPal and that is when you need to simply top up your balance instead of doing a direct order with PayPal. Now, just wait until the seller ships his order. Once it arrives in the WeGoBuy warehouse, you will receive a notification. Once your product arrives, hover over your username in the navbar and select My Warehouse. Here, you can view QC, or quality control, pictures that WeGoBuy takes. One con of using WeGoBuy is their picture taking skills. To receive better pictures, you have to contact their live chat and give them your order number and request better QC pictures. If you're satisfied with your order, select it and click Submit in the lower right corner. Here, you can choose your preferred shipping method. The fashionreps favorite currently is EMS, but it's up to you what line you would like to use. Just select the shipping line, then click Submit Delivery Order to have WeGoBuy pack up your products and send it to your door. Post your hauls ! Posting reviews is what keeps this subreddit alive. People find new stuff, buy it, review it, search for pieces themselves, buy the, review them. This circle is the Rep Circle of Life. Don't forget to add pics (Please add a link to all pictures in one album, please. Please.). Please follow these tips to post the PERFECT Review: You can use Spreadsheet or Reddit itself to write/structure it, no problem. Add a link to all pictures (QC or Fitpics) in one imgur album, please. If you use Spreadsheet please do this: You type in all brands/piece names in the Reddit post/title itself. That way we can use the search bar to actually search for items Add your stats (weight, height, body type) If you are unsure whether or not your item has any errors or has a good or bad quality - Just post your QC pictures here. There are so many people who know their stuff, let them check your item and give you advise. Don't forget this. Don't forget to write the name of the piece in the title. Always think about the search bar, guys. ___________________________________________________ IV - FashionReps Terminology & Sizing Chart Translations 1. FashionReps Terminology QC: Quality Control (QC for short) is talking about pictures that are posted from an agent of an item that was ordered. Users will post these if they're unsure about the quality and would rather have someone else take a look at them if they're good enough. LC: Legit Check (LC for short) Much like the name states, this is a tag used for posts requiring a legit check. Legit checks are a great way of finding out if a item you're purchasing is authentic or not. GP: Guinea Pig (GP for short) Guinea Pigging is much like being a test subject. In this instance you will be the first person to order a sellers new item. This means you'll be the first to get pictures of their product and often times you'll post them to be checked for quality by the community. FIND: Much like the name states. Posts with this flair are often linked to new products that haven't been posted before. W2C:: Where To Cop (W2C for short) W2C refers to the search for a desired item. Often times will be linked with retail images for an example. 1:1: One to One (1:1 for short) 1:1 refers to a perfect replica. However, not many exist and often times you won't be able to get these as they're sold out. GL: Green Light (GL for short) GL Refers to a user who has given their approval of a QC post. RL: Red Light (RL for short) RL Refers to a user who has given their disapproval of a QC post. B&S: Bait & Switch (BS or B&S for short) B&S Refers to a seller who has advertised their product and sent goods that are different from advertised. 2. Tops 尺码: Size 领宽: Neck width 领长: Collar length 肩宽: Shoulder width 袖长: Sleeve length 袖围: Sleeve circumference 袖口: Sleeve/Cuff opening 肘宽: Elbow width 胸围: Bust width; Chest width 3. Pants and Trousers: 腰围: Waist 臀围 or 坐围: Hip width 衣长: Length 松量: Relaxed (measurement) 拉量: Stretched (measurement) 前直档长: Front rise 后直档长: Back rise 裤长: Trousers length 拉链长: Zipper length 内长: Inseam 大腿围: Thigh width 裤脚围: Leg opening 裤脚宽: Trousers width 身高: Height 长度: Length 宽度: Width 4. Shoes 脚长: Foot length 美国: US 英国: UK 欧洲: EUR 中国: China 厘米: cm 毫米: mm 英寸 or 寸: inches ___________________________________________________ V - How to Reverse Image Search Taobao for the average consumer may be hard to grasp and often times users may be hesitant to dive into Taobao's ever-growing catalog of products. Taobao offers a feature called Search via Image. This allows users to easily find items related to the image they upload. Start here: https://s.taobao.com/search? Unfortunately, my video guide below would not process on reddit, so please watch this Youtube video. 1. Click on the camera icon 📷 2. Upload the image of the product you want to search for 3. Wait for the product to finish uploading 4. Select the appropriate category 5. Done! Now find a reasonably priced and good looking product for your needs! ___________________________________________________ VI - How To Avoid Customs 1. Intro Revised Ok this may be the most important part of my Guide. How to avoid customs - especially when you are living in Europe (s/o to Germany). Not everything changed, but there are some IMPORTANT steps that I added to the checklist. DHL is the way to go for Germany, Austria and many more European countries. Do not use EMS in Germany or Austria. If you live in the US or Canada you can choose EMS, DHL or GD-Sal. Customs are pretty relaxed in these countries. For the US and Canada, shipping hauls up to 10kg generally isn't a problem. Some people even do more. Do so at your own risk. For the USA, the declaration value doesn't matter much, as you are unlikely to be taxed. For Canada, declare the package 10-14USD. Also, If you live in Canada, it is advised that you use EMS or GD-SAL. If you use DHL, you will be taxed upon package arrival. 2. Checklist For Europe You may have to look up laws for any import fees or regulations. These numbers are an example for WeGoBuy shipping to Germany, it should work for any country though. [ ] Stay within .9 of a KG. Read here for more information [ ] Try to stay at a maximum of 4kg. Do not go over this for the safest rate. [ ] If possible ask for no cardboard wrapping, let them package in DHL plastic bag [ ] Ask for vacuum sealing (Possible in the fewest cases) [ ] Ask them to wrap up your whole package with tape, a lot of tape. [ ] Let them put a Commercial invoice on the outside (!)! of your package [ ] The commercial invoice should have a value UNDER $24 including shipping costs [ ] The commercial invoice has to be readable, if it has printing errors it has to be printed again [ ] The commercial invoice has to state the shipping costs with a value >$0 [ ] The commercial invoice has to have a sender address [ ] Your telephone number has to be stated on the commercial invoice [ ] Let them send you a copy of the commercial invoice to your email (Will come back to this) It is strongly advised that you go to Google and type in "[Your country] customs fashionreps". By doing this, you will get a good grasp of what others have done. Trust me, your situation is not unique. ___________________________________________________ VII - General Tips About WeGoBuy/Shipping Use Rehearsel Shipping to avoid paying too much shipping costs You can ship shoeboxes - Do not ship more than 2 shoeboxes in one package You can ship as many packages as you want simultaneously (Keep calm tho) Think twice before shipping shoeboxes, if you don't need them, don't ship them and let WeGoBuy throw them away If you have a non-Rep haul then you can probably use other shipping methods. Decide on your own. I recommend you to use the service called 17Track to track your packages. No matter the tracking number 17Track usually can decipher it and track it for you. If WeGoBuy does not let you pay for your replicas directly through Paypal, just top up your account balance and then pay through your balance. ___________________________________________________ VIII - What Happens When Your Haul Gets Seized By Customs Outside of United States Keep. The. F***. Calm. This can have so many reasons. And I want to correct myself: It is a difference between your parcel is held up by customs and your parcel being seized by customs. Let me take all the fear from you. If your parcel is held up DHL probably just messaged/emailed/called you and they told you some long story about some value declaration and so on. To keep it short: DHL does not trust your invoice/can't read the invoice/is bored af and wants a proof of payment to declare the value of your haul. For DHL Germany it is really easy to do this. You go to this DHL Link fill out the information and upload a Paypal/Bank wire/Western Union/Payment Screenshot. For any other country: Search for the email address of DHL Express Customs (not normal DHL) in your country. You can also call the DHL Express hotline and ask them. Email them the same proof of payment screenshot. The bad side is that you will probably have to pay some importing fees (EUSt in Germany are 19% + 12,50€ DHL fees). I can tell you that DHL Customs will not check if you send them an authentic screenshot of your Paypal transaction or if you managed to change up some digits in order to stay under $24. To save the importing fees. I cannot tell you how to do it, though of course. Google inspect element... This is why it was important, that WeGoBuy sent you the Commercial Invoice they put on the parcel - You know exactly how high they declared it and what they stated is inside. The Tracking status should be "Clearance Event" when they want the proof of payment and should change to "Clearance processing completed" when it is done. This can take up to several days after you send them the screenshot. If your haul really got seized (Tracking status "Please contact DHL") there is nothing you can do. DHL will send you a letter where they will ask you for your permission to destroy the items. Just ignore this letter. It will automatically count as a permission (in Germany). There is nothing else. You don't go to jail, you don't get a Million $ fine. Some DHL Customs worker told me that if you stay under 3 shoes per package they will not contact the brand. But keep in mind, this is TOTALLY random. If you follow the checklist there is a micro chance that you package will even get inspected. Because inspecting alone is not enough, so many DHL workers just don't care and pass Nike, Adidas, Gucci Fakes. And if you really are that unlucky, just deal with it. Some sellers send out a replacement for free, some don't. You, Your family and your future kids will be safe, don't worry. Inside the United States If your package was seized within Chinese borders often times the Agent will refund you the full parcel price. Meaning if your haul went to the value of ¥2,000 then you will be reimbursed ¥2,000 directly to your WeGoBuy account. If your package was seized or taken in for inspection by United States Customs then you will be given a call or a notice that DHL, EMS, or your selected shipping company has took in your package. Do not panic. Often times when they take your package in for inspection they will ask you to provide a receipt or invoice for the declaration of value for your haul. Seizures and inspections are 100% random and aren't able to bypassed through any method. To keep it short: DHL does not trust your invoice/can't read the invoice/is bored af and wants a proof of payment to declare the value of your haul. For DHL Germany it is really easy to do this. You go to this DHL Link fill out the information and upload a Paypal/Bank wire/Western Union/Payment Screenshot. For any other country: Search for the email address of DHL Express Customs (not normal DHL) in your country. You can also call the DHL Express hotline and ask them. Email them the same proof of payment screenshot. After this step you will need to wait for the review period to end and if everything went well then your package will be released to you. If your package was seized and they send you a letter than it is best to say you didn't order the item and take the loss on the haul. This rarely happens. ___________________________________________________ IX - Useful Links And Seller Stores Ok this was the Big Customs/FashionReps Newbie Guide/WeGoBuy Guide v1.0.

In short, you pay a small fee (around ¥20) for someone to package up all of your stuff, weigh it, measure it, and put these figures into the shipping calculator for a final cost. There are two ways to do rehearsal shipping and you do this from your warehouse in Wegobuy. In warehouse, click Apply for Rehearsal Packaging If you have submitted your parcel already but haven’t paid the shipping deposit, select option 1. Customer service will action this for you and update the weight and shipping fee of the parcel - you may need to remind them to do this. If you have not yet submitted the parcel, select option 2. You will speak to customer service via your inbox and will need to tell them what you want in the package, they will then be able to tell you the cost and once you submit the parcel you will again need to ask them to update the weight and shipping fee. Typically, you will see a new reduction by doing this. XII - I Shipped, Now Where Is My Parcel? You wait! But here are some FAQ's. Q - How long should my parcel take to arrive? China Post’s tracking service documents the average arrival times of all parcels for some frequent countries as follows. If your haul has not arrived and the “longest” number of days has not elapsed, you should not be concerned. Country - Average Delivery Time - Longest Time - Shortest Time Australia / New Zealand : 12 - 15 - 9 Canada : 30 - 60 - 10 EU : 17 - 44 - 7 United Kingdom : 12 - 40 - 6 United States : 16 - 62 - 8 As you can see, a delivery time of 40+ days for Europe and North America is frequent. (source: China Post) Q - What does “shipping notice received” (or similar) mean? This means the agent has put a tracking number from China Post on your parcel (i.e. a sticker with a barcode and scanned it), but has not shipped the goods yet. It can take two to three business days for the goods to be shipped as the agent will be waiting for China Post to collect the goods. Infrequently, if you have purchased directly from a seller and have chased them to confirm your goods have been shipped after QC, some asswipes will give you a fake tracking number. If the status remains “shipping notice received” after four days or more you should chase them to actually ship the goods. In most cases, sellers will take immediate action to ship the goods to avoid disputes and reputational damage. Q - It's been a couple of days since I finalized my haul, why hasn't anything happened? In general, to avoid disappointment you should start counting days from when the parcel is collected (it says this specifically on your agent's site and on 17track) rather than the date you submitted the parcel. Paying for your parcel today doesn't mean it will be in the hands of China Post tomorrow - it takes time to physically bundle up the parcel, allocate a tracking number and get China Post to physically collect at the warehouse. It can often take two to three business days for this to happen and your haul to update that the tracking number has been activated. Agents and (more frequently) direct sellers will tell you "the item has shipped, but the shipping company hasn't given the tracking information yet" when in reality your parcel is still in the warehouse Q - What does “delivered to air transport” / “despatched to [my country]” (or similar) mean? This means that China Post has given the parcel to the airline company - it does NOT mean that the parcel is on a plane. This status will not update for a long time until the parcel arrives at the destination airport and is scanned by the domestic parcel company. It is not unheard of for this to take between two and four weeks in regular season, and four to six weeks during holiday season or where there are complications like COVID. If you are worried you can ask your agent to confirm which flight your parcel is on. If they are able to give you a flight number, it is worth noting they do not always see the date of the flight and this could still be in the future - you should not assume your parcel has left China. Q - How can I check progress on my parcel? Until the point of arrival in your country, 17track is the most detailed resource to keep up to date on your parcel’s progress. ParcelsApp also has good feedback. Q - There seem to be a lot of delays, should I ship my parcel now or wait? This is similar to driving to a friend’s house cross-country when the traffic is awful all the time - the sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll get there. Things won’t be any faster by delaying your haul. Q - Has my haul been seized?! In all likelihood, no. Your parcel status will update saying it is being inspected by customs at the point of seizure. A lack of status updates is probably a good thing in that sense. Q - Is my parcel lost??!?!!?1111?@ In all likelihood, no. These things are very rare and if you are worried about this happening you should purchase the relevant insurance protection from your agent before finalizing your shipment. Q - My parcel has been scanned by customs but it hasn't been updated to say customs has been cleared. Has my haul been seized??? In all likelihood, no. The scan to confirm the parcel has cleared customs doesn’t necessarily take place in the warehouse and often takes place while the parcel is being loaded into a lorry or when it arrives at your local sorting office. As per the above, unless there is a notice specifically saying your parcel is being inspected by customs you probably have nothing to worry about. Q - What can I do to hurry things up? Literally nothing. This is how international shipping works, so get comfortable with it. Posting on the sub asking how other people’s parcels are progressing won’t make yours arrive any faster. That is all for now. You can expect additions to this guide over the next few months!
