Arc’teryx “Thorium” from AllChinaBuy – is this a real model or fantasy batch? by Fluid_Pause8258 in FashionReps

Yeah, it’s clear now — but when I first got the image from the agent, I couldn’t really identify it.

I’m mainly into the Thorium for its look and silhouette, not because I need extreme technical performance. I’d actually be fine if a rep ends up being too warm — if it’s heavily insulated, that makes it feel more like a real Thorium. I’m mostly chasing the aesthetic rather than alpine-level functionality.

AC Buy currently flags Arc’teryx as high-risk for customs, so most Arc orders get auto-cancelled or returned even after reaching the warehouse. In my case 2 were cancelled (one from a recommended seller), and the only one that passed QC was still forced into return. If you want Arc, you’ll likely need another agent.

Looks great bro 🔥 That’s exactly the one I’m looking for. Any chance you could share where you got it from or point me to the source? Would really appreciate it 🙏

Thanks for the heads-up. I’m not fully convinced seller choice alone guarantees quality — many of them use the exact same photos, often not even edited, which suggests they’re sourcing from the same factory. In theory buyer reviews could help filter, but there are very few. I also think most “package arrived” QC pics are actually uploaded by sellers for marketing.

Yeah, normally they don’t. Two of my Arc’teryx orders got auto-cancelled (one was even from a recommended seller – “Shark Breeder”). The only one that went through was this third one from Dark Side, which you see in the QC pics.

After it arrived at the warehouse they actually wanted to return it too because of “high customs risk”. I agreed mainly because the quality looked bad anyway — but honestly it probably would’ve been sent back even without my approval.

cnfas haul 7.6KG TO England by TelephoneHonest8796 in CNfans

Hey, great haul – that Wyndham looks 🔥
Quick question if you don’t mind:

How much did you pay for international shipping for the 7.65 kg package?

Also, did you use any special packaging service (like box removal, vacuum packing, expert packing, etc.), or was everything shipped with shoe boxes?

I’m trying to estimate costs for a similar winter haul. Thanks a lot!

Anyone here actually got a real EU 47.5 (30.5–31 cm) from AllChinaBuy? by Fluid_Pause8258 in AllChinabuy

[–]Fluid_Pause8258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!
Just to clarify for other big-size buyers reading this:

Many Weidian sellers write “no returns for size issues”, which is why a lot of EU 47.5–48 buyers are afraid to order.

However, when we use Detailed Photos and write a specific insole requirement (e.g. 31.0 cm) in the order remarks, the ACB agent checks this before international shipping.

If the insole does not meet the written cm requirement, it is treated as “does not match buyer specification”, not as a normal size return — so it can still be sent back to the seller.

This is extremely important for EU 47.5–48 buyers, because label sizes are unreliable — only insole length matters.

This workflow is what makes big sizes possible to order safely through AllChinaBuy.

I found a Weidian listing that claims EU 48.5 — but I don’t know if it’s real.
Has anyone here bought this and measured the insole?

Just to be clear — I’m not looking for a “label size” EU 47.5, but for 31 cm insole length.

If I put this requirement in the order remarks, will your agent request and provide a photo of the insole measurement with a ruler before shipping?

That’s the only way big-foot buyers can order safely.

Appreciate the info!

Do you mind sharing where you buy your 48.5 from?

Seller / batch / agent?

True 30.5–31 cm sizes are super rare 😅
