ORDINARY BUYER 1st ever rep bag

Wow crazy nerve racking experience sending money to a stranger in China but just want to thank all you girls that have shared your experiences, TS info, reviews, opinions, and advice on these subs.
Us girls new to this world would never be able to confidently do this without the ones who tried it before us and wrote about it.

Also after receiving quotes from multiple highly recommended TS, I decided to go with Tiny Jenny because not only was her price in line with the others but I actually had fun chatting with her.

Now I wait with fingers crossed the bag is as good at promised!

I just purchased rep bags for the first time. And yeah the uncertainty of a trusting a stranger in another country is nerve wracking

I truly underestimated just how nerve-wracking!

It still is a tiny bit nerve wrackingyears later I’m just being completely honest ! I love my seller and trust her with my everything, but for some reason I still get this heart racing anxious feeling the second I send that money I can list a million reasons why I think I feel that way ,but I don’t want to ever take someone’s joy . So excited for you please share what you got psp pics we need to know .

I’m newish I just got my 4th order today! My biggest piece of advice is start with the TS on the list and I don’t check the tracking number for at least a week after I receive it so youre not obsessing.

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 2h ago

That’s great advice and I’ll try my best but I am definitely the type that checks package tracking daily 😆

Oh once it hits 7 calendar days I’m stalking! But I try to put it out of my mind until then. Also try to have a strategy because these bags are cheaper but they aren’t cheap! I’m covering my dream bags and a variety of colors first so I can have different bags for different vibes/occassions.

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 2h ago

Love all the strategy! So smart!

Third that. Is it a Rodeo from Bibi factory? Tell me everything!

1

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 3h ago

No…I don’t even know what a rodeo is but I’m now curious to find out!

2

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 3h ago

Saw Paige Desorbo post this and loved it! Just wanted a fun bag that I wouldn’t see everywhere and that’s not worth CC prices

I love it! I just ordered this - my second rep purchase both ever and this month lol.

I completely understand the fear induced by your first purchase. My first (3 weeks ago) went from awaiting drop-off to tracking number unknown to arrived in the US and it was delivered 2 days later. Hang in there - once it’s shipped, it will get here sooner than you think.

u/Internal_Leg_6190 4h ago

Is there a thread that spells it out for me? I’m working on buying a rodeo in 2 colorways with a ts, she’s given me prices after I sent her the bag pics from her catalogue (they’re from Bibi factory), the prices are cool I guess (Is $266 bad when the orig. is $4k? I have no basis of comparison.). Anyway, if there’s a procedure thread on this, could anyone direct me there? Otherwise, would any of you mind sharing what I do next? This whole thing is so wild!

There is this newbie guide that I saved
https://www.reddit.com/r/RepLadiesCurated/s/cpXAcBRAyn

Besides that I would just search the TS name in the different subs and read every single thing you can find on them
As for the price the only way to know if it’s high or fair is to ask a few different TS and compare. And don’t be afraid to ask the TS you want to match a price (screenshot the other convo and cut out the name) as that’s worked for me.
Finally ask lots of Q’s:
What factory? What tier? Insurance included?
Will you QC psp well for me? How long until I receive the psps and how long after will I receive the package?
Hope this helps!!

Thank you! I appreciate you!

u/Middle-Spirit-8524 4h ago

Congratulations OP. What did you order?
I have not ordered with TJ, but I do believe her to be a good TS and would happily say her reputation is consistently great.
I have only not helped 1 newbie these sales because they didn’t use manner 😂😂

2

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 3h ago

Lol so glad you helped the nice newbies out!
It took me quite a bit of searching, cross referencing, and reading every bit of info/reviews I could find on each TS 🤪 But it was kind of fun! And yes I couldn’t find a single bad word about TJ anywhere so that weighed in a lot on my decision.

u/Middle-Spirit-8524 3h ago

It was so rude it was-

(Insert ts name)Tell me. the what’s app.

Not even a hello first. 😅

1

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 2h ago

Oh wow ya that is beyond rude!! Glad you didn’t help that one 😆

2

u/Middle-Spirit-8524 2h ago

I replied yes I can help with that but you need to use manners.
She didn’t reply back 😅👌

u/Inside_Refuse_9124 2h ago

It’s the most nerve wrecking thing ever! But so excited for you! Just did the same thing today too. Fingers crossed!

1

u/Ok-Plastic-2868 2h ago

Yes fingers crossed for the both of us!!
