BUYING COSPLAY from Asia! READ BEFORE BUY! Ex. Pics too

Read and Know what you are buying and make sure you want that costume when buying from foreign sellers!
First thing to note: Just about every foreign seller steal pictures from Cosplay site or gemissioners. I (and just about every USA seller!) always use my own pictures! I show you exactly what you are buying! Over seas sellers NEVER!Hi! I am not knocking foreign sellers. I bought 2 costumes from them. But here, I want you to know that the costume you are buying will almost NEVER look like the one in the picture!
Many of the foreign sellers (mostly from China, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc...) sell a good selection of costumes for your cosplay needs! Before you make that major purchase take a moment to think if that is what you really want. Here is my experience.
The pictures they provide is NEVER the same as what they sell. They take these pictures either from cosplay websites or scan from magazines.
I bought a costume from Asia for about $150.00. That is a lot of money and all I got was the costume....but it never fit me right. They say they take your measurements....but really these costumes (I heard and beleive) are premade from factories. They basically need to know whether you're small, medium, large, or X-large....All of the costumes I bought I had to tailor it myself and make MAJOR adjustments to fit and look right on me.
Before you buy a costume from foreign sellers...look at the shipping. It basically the same price as the price. This makes up for their fees and of course make off the profit from it. Sellers from USA never do this.
Please note that the 50-80.00 charge is no express shipping. It took about 2 MONTHS! (That's right!) to recieve my costume. So order WAY in advance! To make sure you got the costume and to make alterations!
Also there are no return policies. The moment you geplain the seller will basically tell you its your fault that your measurements weren't correct???? Yeah that's how they are...sigh!
The last thing to consider is the price of the costume. They range from 40.00 to 150.00. Ask for pictures if the ones they provide are fake. Did you know you can BARGAIN with them! The first time I bought the costume I made a mistake. The second time I emailed the seller and told them that they charge to much and the person knocked off 20.00 of the price! If I haggled more...I can probably got another 10.00 off!
Okay! I think that is good enough for now! I hope this help! I am a serious cosplayer and I hate overspending on costumes when I don't have to!
PS! Oh! I have to say that okay is not the only place for your costume needs! Check cosplay dot ge or american paradise and check out their forums! People are ready to get rid of their costumes at awesome prices!UPDATE! "Glam Or Death (All one word)" aka Andru Chrisst PublicationsThese sellers are from Austrailia and they sell fetish wear. Extremely expensive but unusual items. I tried my hand and it and I was taken once again from an over seas seller. I should have known something was up or partly it was my fault (Do not buy from a seller that hadn't sold a single thing in a year and have a 96% rating...). But I was assured I was going to get what was in the picture...and over a month later (40ish days) I received a very crappy made top that was like 60% geplete...yes it was missing the FRONT OF THE TOP! All I literally received was the shoulders...not connected to anything just 2 loose pieces!This is what I was hoping to get here...the whole top. I paid with shipping about $100.00UPDATE!
