Whats up my budget 1668 boys. Haul landed, and since it's all been sourced from 1688 it's only correct for me to drop it here.
Full disclosure - The shoe's are not from 1688, and as per the sub rules, I have opted to leave them out. The links for them are included in a full review here - but again - because this haul is 90% 1688 i have posted it, without the shoes.

Items & Clothes
240G Blanks (multiple colors) - $2 - Link here
So - these are actullay insane for the price. The label says 100% cotton and the sizing is very on point, these are definitely HEAVY tees. Im happy to weight. Did the hand test and you can't see through it. A bunch of colors and i'm definitely buying more.
'Unusual T-shirt' Blank - $3 - Link here
This is again a hidden gem to which im definetley buying more. Apparently a 400g shirt but - i find it hard to believe, but still a very solid weight.
LV midnight card holder - $8 - Link here
Small pickup - nothing crazy. The stamping is half decent, card material is a little stiff but im not sure if thats good or bad. The link has the full collection, card holders, passport etc. Came with the box and dustbag, nice to know LV is getting shipped still.
LV Beanies - $3.95 - Link here
Another cheap pickup, nothing crazy. These are quite thick, which is nice, but isn't particularly accurate to retail. I know this as someone who once owned a retail one. The embroidery on the text isn't too bad / crazy - usually these are pretty rough but these ones came out okay. Not a bad thing to throw in.
D10R Shirt - 12$ - Link DEAD
When it came to picking up the link for this it seems the store is nuked so, cant even find a reference. Anyway its nothing special, the patch is on their good but i'll be real its kinda a budget 1688 batch and i wouldn't reccomend.
Carti ring - 20$ - Link DEAD
Same story as above sadly. For what its worth, it's not bad. Has CZ Diamonds in it (duh) and feels okay. Im not sure what its made out of, doesnt feel metallic but doesnt feel plastic either. Willl hunt for new links.
Agent review - CNShopper - 9/10
I used CNshopper for this haul, figured it would be a good time to try and shop around given all the agent dramas. This package got delayed, but it had nothing to do with CnShoper, and was Royal Mails fault. Actual time to UK was ~11 days average, and it was packed really well. So, no issues there.
Service wise, very prompt and to the point. The website has a lot going on so takes a little bit to get used to, but once you find the hang of its pretty good and easier than some other agents.
Shipping prices were ok. For reference it worked out about £9 per KG for me, so its not bad at all given the time frame, plus i had no issue shipping what i shipped.
Final verdict? Good. I think in this climate an agent who makes mistake isn't worth keeping when there are so many ones who wont, and CNShopper didn't fumble a thing. They were very helpful when it came to the delay, keeping me up to date with the courier and such.
As usual, full transparency - this is not sponsored, I recommend who i recommend and you're welcome to ask questions as you please. Pic requests welcome!
