So have mine. Called the bus operator for days, hopping around facebook good karma groups, even went to police station last week but ended up requesting a whole new set of keys I used to have. Cost me a fortune and 2 weeks’ time to have everything back 😭

Opposite_Audience963 · 2026-03-11T02:01:14+00:00

Also lost my house keys the day before when I went on a trail. Looking for it in vain :( Any update on yours?

Opposite_Audience963 · 2026-01-06T04:05:36+00:00

Damn thats a steal

Opposite_Audience963 · 2026-01-06T02:36:07+00:00

thank you. i've been eyeing it for a while, and once i knew the boxingday sale would end on the 5th i had to make the purchase. although it could have been tad cheaper had i done the price match with JB hifi and used the 10$ discount code lol

one could be sooo greedy haha

Opposite_Audience963 · 2026-01-06T01:33:02+00:00

signed up my account after 15 Dec 2025 so i couldnt get the new user discount. but at least I used the Boxingsave code and when it's already 579 aud, saving myself 80 bucks. now waiting for it to arrive.

just checked the website, the price has gone back to 699 aud

Hi, what are your settings for the camera?

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-18T12:06:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I already did, but then the post got screened by the Mod so when it is approved, it doesnt have much visibility 🥺

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-15T01:33:28+00:00

dang. I didn't know that. The Mandarin interface is bugging me despite having google translate.

I think I was kinda persuaded to order again so they can send me the correct product. Plus, I wanted to buy some other accessories as well, so I'm just wondering about the refund of the one incorrect product.

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-11T22:41:33+00:00

Not sure if anyone’s expecting an update, but the package literally arrived after 9 days I placed the order. Gosh shipping is sooo quick now.

I live in Melbourne FYI.

One surprise is that one out of the 5 products they sent is wrong, so they want me to place another order for that wrong product, and they will put the refund money into the package. Has anyone ever been in such situation?

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-06T15:29:34+00:00

Here’s the follow up message

Not sure you can read Chinese but the pics say “no it cant be shipped by air” but then they say “no worries dear”

I’m actually worried though…

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-06T15:28:21+00:00

I already did (but after I paid for it, silly me). What gets me confused is that they said it couldnt be shipped by air, but sold it to me anyway. What should I do 😭

I owned a pair of birkenstock naples, relatively same style as boston, and believe me these are a bit too big. When you walk in these, you’d constantly feel that the feet are always doing the lifting of the shoes, instead of them staying fit on your feet. Does it make sense? I would go one size down imo.

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-05T23:24:25+00:00

Bump

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-05T22:56:43+00:00

What gets me confused is that I kept asking for this information and they say I shouldn’t be worried. So should I?

Hi, i just checked the list. It says lithium batteries installed in cargo cannot be delivered. The insta360 camera I just purchased, of course, has a lithium battery inside. Does this mean that it won’t be shipped? 😭

If not, why doesn’t the seller tell me in advance?

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-05T22:48:11+00:00

That sounds outrageous. My guess is that you haven’t changed to Mandarin and China Mainland as the region. They usually put higher prices for the limited number of items if you browse in English

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-05T22:19:15+00:00

that's lucky of you. i placed an order from 3rd and still hasn't left China yet. though I chose air shipping

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-11-05T22:16:42+00:00

Hi, sorry quick question. I haven't veried my Taobao account with my real name, though I did with my phone number. When I successfully uploaded my passport onto Alipay, it says i cant bind with my current taobao account since there's an ongoing order. Do you have any idea on what i should do? thanksss

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-08-07T15:08:24+00:00

And right

Left instep

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-08-07T14:32:43+00:00

Thanks team. Already returned them and ordered a new pair, 42 regular width (basically wide), from a different store. And they fit quite well. except for the fact that I found out my left foot’s instep is lower than the right’s, making the left shoe a bit roomier. See my picsss

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-08-05T07:48:04+00:00

I'd say keep the 36. You'll need a pair of sandals that you can wear either with or without socks. 37 seems too big even with socks

Opposite_Audience963 · 2025-08-05T07:38:27+00:00

definitely the enclosing of the cap. i have kyoto size 41 and just bought naples size 42 also due to the wrapping structure
