I do not recommend that you buy products that require pre-orders through official Taobao shipping.

Taobao sellers take a long time to ship things that are pre-ordered, some even take three to six months to ship out for some cosplay or lolita stuff.

In such a long time, you can’t guarantee the safety of your Taobao account. Taobao can easily freeze or restrict a foreigner’s Taobao account.

For the safety of your money, I recommend buying pre-ordering products through a Taobao agent.

I’ve described the whole process in this post, consolidated shipping will ship all orders to a warehouse in China, where they will be packed and weighed, and then shipped to your country.
The advantage is that shipping fee is cheaper, but of course the whole process takes a bit longer than direct shipping.
