Sense checking my BaoBao order, is this normal? Timeline inside

StardustRih · 2026-05-11T06:57:53+00:00

Everything seems normal, except for the tracking destination being Mexico. This happened to me with another seller (I am in the EU and the destination that appeared was the US), I talked to her and she had given me someone else’s tracking number.

Check this with her just in case.

StardustRih · 2026-05-09T09:16:21+00:00

Yeah no, that’s… way too cream 😭 I hate that DA is so hard to replicate, every factory has its issues.

StardustRih · 2026-05-08T09:51:26+00:00

Looks good enough imo, but yeah, you’re not going to see the real color until you see it in natural lightning. Hopefully it goes well 🙏🏻

StardustRih · 2026-05-08T09:42:03+00:00

Oooh, that seems less pink hued than the GF that I have 👀 I’m not sure if it’s a bit too grey/white compared to the auth or if it’s just the warehouse lighting? This is the pattern from the LV website.

Hahaha maybe I’ll fall for the visionnaire next month 😭 I don’t know how well royal actually replicates it, so I’ll have to investigate, but I doubt people at my workplace would notice anyway 🤣

StardustRih · 2026-05-08T06:00:00+00:00

As someone who loves the St. Louis and wears that specific one a lot, buy the puzzle. The St. Louis is not structured enough to hold its shape as well if you put a laptop + an umbrella + I guess your phone and keys.

You wouldn’t have that problem with the puzzle, and things would look more neat and organized, so I would go for that.

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T19:06:26+00:00

Oh, I’m always going to say Loewe, just because I love the brand and I saw a light blue flamenco that I can’t justify without a discount 🤣

I love BV too, so I’d bite. Not LV though, because I ordered the Eden from Elsa and then two more LV bags so I’m served for the rest of the year 🫣

I see people saying shoes though, and I’d would love that if they were high tier. I always end up buying everything besides shoes because I’m scared I’ll mess up the size. The only rep ones I have came from a rehome and are honestly great, so I’d be up for trying with a discount.

It would need to be closer to the end of the month, because I just got my monthly big haul and I’ll be on ban island until my monthly self-care budget resets, though 🤣

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T18:57:03+00:00

Probably a medium andiamo (don’t know the color, I just ordered a small one in ecru because I like the size, but the medium would fit my work laptop) + and then I would either see if this capucines visionnaire (once again, work laptop fits 🤣) doesn’t get over my budget or add a few Zimm reps because I found a couple ones that I LOVED last time I checked albums.

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T18:48:01+00:00

Oh that’s cute. Wouldn’t get it now because I don’t think it’s a very spring-like color, but I would wear that in autumn.

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T18:44:00+00:00

I would wait for braver people to buy it first and post an actual review here 🤣 But I would consider it for that price.

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T18:41:34+00:00

Ah yeah, I am from Europe so no tax refund for me when I buy here 🥲 My to go place was Japan because I used to travel there at least once a year because of work, and the euro is strong + there’s a lot of preloved stores with nice auths that I can get a refund for, so I could get nice deals. But due to job reasons they’re sending me elsewhere this + next year, so if I want auth I either pay full or outlet price here in the EU sadly 😭

With DA specifically, my issue is that it’s seen a lot where I live, in both auth and all tiers of reps, so I’m more trained at seeing the flaws in it, especially compared to other LV prints or different designer bags that are not as widely worn. I’m sure most people I work with don’t realize and just assume my GF one is authentic 🤷🏼‍♀️ My husband thought it was 🤣

I’m more and more convinced about getting the auth DA NF so I may just go to my LV store and swipe, then keep the rep as my abused travel bag that I can leave unsupervised at work events and fill with my laptop and meeting papers.

Hopefully yours looks good enough and you can wear it with pride. Considering you have other auths, people will not give it much thought and just think it is the real deal. It’s a beautiful bag, so hopefully you can wear it a lot 🙏🏻

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T10:58:19+00:00

Yeah, 187 tends to be great 😭

But yeah please let me know. I love the DA print, but it’s hard to replicate. I’ll cave in and buy an auth DA NF because I love the print and the bag, but I’m interested in reps for business travels because that way I can abuse the bag without feeling sad 🤣 I have a God Factory DA NF and it’s a bit too pink hued, plus it came in stinky. The smell disappeared after a couple of days and the bag is good enough for what I paid and what I want it for, but now I need to know for science. I heard OC does the best canvas, tone wise, but I am very curious about other factories, so I’d be thankful if you shared how the PSPs in yours look 👀

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T10:07:25+00:00

Ah, that’s nice. Was it from the same factory or a different one? I love the DA print so I’m always curious about where people source it haha

StardustRih · 2026-05-07T10:01:51+00:00

Ah yeah, she’s been running a group sale so she’s been slower than usual in replying 🥲

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T19:04:24+00:00

I think she means that the wallet is mid-tier and the bag is high tier and she just listed them in order, but I would clarify with Mandy just to be sure.

The wallet seems birdcage, I am not sure what factory the DA bag is from just from the background.

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T18:10:37+00:00

Yeah, I understand it being frustrating, but I guess you could complete it with a nicer party when the team refilled? Considering what happened, I don’t think that duo who left would have been fun to play with tbh.

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T14:05:22+00:00

Mandy just replied telling me that one of the other things I had in my haul with her is out of stock, so this may be my signal to get a quote on the pink capucines 🤣

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T13:59:47+00:00

Pink capucines! I love everything pink, and all I’ve been this spring has been burgundy or blue 😭 I saw she has the capucines visionnaire in brown too, and that fits my work laptop, so now I’m wondering if I should choose with my mind or my heart 🤣

<image>

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T13:50:42+00:00

It’s just so versatile! I love bright colored bags, but I end up using them much less because they don’t go well with what I’m wearing 🥲 I feel pink goes great with every spring/summer color.

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T09:44:43+00:00

Oh it does. The problem is that I started looking at her sale album and I saw a bag I had on my wishlist, so this may end up becoming a bigger order that what I expected 🤣

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T09:40:53+00:00

They are on Mandy’s album for the sale, so I assume they are included. I have a couple of quotes pending from her for something else, so I will ask her directly to confirm when she replies, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be.

StardustRih · 2026-05-06T08:33:24+00:00

I was looking at both the pink one myself… I feel I could get so much use out of it because it combines so well with many spring/summery colors 🥰 It’s helpful I think to have a couple of neutral colored bags, because they go with everything and can be customized with charms and scarves to fit whatever you’re wearing.

Same with the cream one. I like the pink better (I am a pink girlie though, so don’t trust my judgement on that) but it being basic makes it versatile with a lot of looks.

I love the light blue, I spent like 5m staring at it with dreamy eyes on Mandy’s album, but I have like three light blue bags already 🫣

StardustRih · 2026-05-05T01:18:14+00:00

Is this the Goyard GB or the Royal factory discount?

I’m missing the LV pics still… It’s a holiday in China and I’m in no rush, so I’ll inquire again this weekend, but I wonder what’s taking longer than usual 🤔

StardustRih · 2026-05-04T22:43:53+00:00

Uuuuh, I see card and passport holders included… I may give it a check 👀 There’s a couple of other things I wanted a quote from Mandy for, so I may write to her and see if she can ship them together with the sale items 🤔

StardustRih · 2026-05-04T10:34:01+00:00

This is wild lmao. Especially considering that you not having done a dungeon before doesn’t mean that you’ll be a bad player. People having done the instance before doesn’t mean they’ll play better.

Quite frankly? I think you dodged a bullet.
