8.5 kg iTaoBuy Haul: Two Parcels, Shipping Costs and Item Details

Why this 8.5 kg haul became two parcels

The initial idea was to send two AJ1-style pairs separately in simple bags without shoe boxes, then compare that expense with buying directly from a seller. One pair “never made it,” according to the original account. Insurance was in place, a claim was made, and the order was restarted. The post describes the claim process as clear, but does not identify where the pair disappeared or disclose a claim payment or resolution date.

The completed shipment was different from that first experiment. One AJ1-style pair went alone; an AJ11-style pair and the clothing went in a second parcel. Photos 1–5 show the box being opened and the items laid out, including shoe boxes and bagged garments. The images document the unboxing, while the text supplies the parcel weights and freight charges. Nothing in the post establishes that the split saved money compared with one box.

Shipping cost and delivery time for each box

The shoe-only parcel is reported at 2.5 kg, 384 CNY shipping and 11 days. The mixed parcel is reported at 6 kg, 990 CNY shipping and 12 days. Those weights add to the 8.5 kg in the title, while the two freight payments total 1,374 CNY. The item prices later in the review are purchase prices, not part of that freight total.

Both shipping charges already reflect a 20% weekly Discord coupon available at the time. The review does not state the destination, shipping line, parcel dimensions or exactly which scan starts the 11- and 12-day counts. It also does not confirm that the coupon still exists. This is a useful record of what two differently packed boxes cost in one order, but it cannot be turned into a current per-kilogram rate.

For a fair comparison on a new haul, request a quote for the packed parcels you actually intend to send. Keep the route, charged weight, package dimensions, included packaging and any discount next to the quoted amount. A 2.5 kg shoe box and a 6 kg mixed box may be priced differently for reasons that the headline weights alone do not show.

Two pairs of shoes: a good overall impression with precise flaws

The AJ1-style pair was listed at 330 CNY. The review liked its overall shape, the placement of the reverse-side mark, the vintage-toned midsole and the heel markings. It also singled out the tooling-code print and placement as the part that could be cleaner. That is more useful than a single high score: it points to a specific area to inspect in a close photo before deciding whether the finish meets your expectations.

The AJ11-style pair was listed at 179 CNY. Its shape and glossy upper cut made a good impression, but the outsole looked yellowed and the shoe box had some mold. The original post guessed that the box condition might explain the sale price; it did not establish that connection. A reader should assess the photographed shoe, outsole and packaging separately, and check the condition of the exact pair offered in a new listing.

Photos 6–7 show the two shoes held up after arrival. They help with overall silhouette and color blocking, but the tooling print, outsole color and inside condition need closer views. Neither pair receives a documented long-term wear test in the thread, so these are arrival impressions rather than durability findings.

Three football shirts show why crest construction matters

The red-and-navy 24–25 fan shirt, priced at 95 CNY in the post, was the favorite of the three. Its crest was described as actually stitched, and the color-blocked panels and fit were liked. The reservations were narrower: the print could be sharper and the sleeve stitching tidier. Photo 8 shows the shirt laid flat, which helps with the panel layout but does not replace a close view of the crest or print edge.

The cream-and-dark 25–26 shirt was listed at 85 CNY. The review liked its light feel, colors and placement of the crest and sponsor marks, but thought parts of the sponsor print looked flatter than expected. That is an in-hand comparison from this order, not proof of how every batch will look. Photo 9 is useful for seeing the broad color arrangement; the heat-pressed details need closer inspection.

The dark 24–25 away shirt, again listed at 95 CNY, exposed the clearest QC miss. Its crest used molded plastic that resembled embroidery from a distance rather than a sewn-on badge. The detail was overlooked in the pre-shipment QC photos. Photo 10 shows its overall front design, but the reported crest difference is best checked in a close, angled image that shows thickness and edge. Similar artwork across three shirts did not mean identical construction.

Shorts: the waist and legs gave different fit signals

The black athletic shorts cost 149 CNY in the original review. Details such as the metal pocket-zip pulls, mesh liner and overall finish were liked. The fit was less straightforward: the waist felt tight while the legs were roomy, and the buyer planned to give the pair away. Photo 16 shows their general cut but cannot supply the wearer’s waist measurement or the garment’s laid-flat dimensions.

For a similar pair, compare the listed waist range, rise and leg opening with shorts you already wear. Choosing by a broad size label alone would miss the very mismatch this review records. If a lining or zipped pocket matters, ask for a detail photo of that feature rather than relying on the front silhouette.

The soccer shirt and three graphic or embroidered tops

A black soccer-style shirt was listed at 168 CNY. The review liked its fabric feel, piping, sponsor placement and cut. It could not confirm whether the exact short-sleeve “AOYAMA” variation existed as a retail release. Photos 11–12 show the printed front and back; they can support a visual comparison, but they do not authenticate the design or establish the material composition.

The white shoulder-stripe top at 98 CNY felt heavier than expected and held an oversized shape with a more substantial drape. The blue embroidered-crest tee at 88 CNY was also praised for dense fabric and centered embroidery. These are two different observations: one is about weight and silhouette, the other about the placement and feel of the chest detail. Photos 13–14 show the fronts, while the in-hand fabric impressions come from the review text.

The faded galaxy graphic tee was listed at 188 CNY. Its oversized shape and heavier blank were liked, but the wash effect was judged less naturally layered than hoped. That reservation is easy to lose if the item is reduced to a positive rating. Photo 15 shows the graphic from a distance; a close image under even lighting would help anyone comparing the fade and print edge on a current listing.

A belt that could not be returned, and a low-cost repeat buy

The belt cost 36 CNY, and its embroidered details were liked, but it did not fit. The original review says the purchase was nonreturnable and the belt would be given away. That makes the practical lesson about sizing and return terms, not the high rating attached to it: check the belt’s full length and usable hole range against one that fits before ordering.

The socks were listed at 10 CNY and received the simplest positive comment in the haul: they were liked enough to buy again. Photo 18 shows the pair laid out. The post gives no fiber composition, wash history or durability test, so a repeat purchase is the specific evidence here rather than a promise about long-term wear.

How to use this review for a current order

Use each reported flaw to decide what to inspect: request a close image of the AJ1 tooling print, the AJ11 outsole and box, the actual edge of a football-shirt crest, and the zip pulls or lining on the shorts. Ask for measurements of the shorts and belt before paying. These requests do not guarantee a good result, but they target the details that changed this buyer’s view after delivery.

Keep the historic freight figures separate from today’s checkout quote. The 384 and 990 CNY amounts include a coupon whose present availability is unknown, and the post leaves out destination and route.
