Check before it ships

  • Chinese clothing sizing runs small. Request the flat measurements in centimetres rather than trusting S, M or L.
  • Ask whether the listing price covers the full set or a single piece — sets are often photographed complete and sold separately.
  • Check the fabric term. 雪纺 is chiffon, 提花 is jacquard, 织金 is metallic brocade, and the price difference is large.
  • Embroidered and pleated garments are bulky. Request a rehearsal or pre-pack measurement before choosing a route.

Bulky for its weight. Expect the carrier to bill volumetric weight rather than actual weight, and measure the packed parcel before choosing a line.

Use the category checklist, or order an independent inspection for high-value items.
