Days ago, Quji Guo, the CEO of Lightinthebox.com, confirmed the news in Sina Microblog (or Sina Weibo) that Lightinthebox had opened its domestic store of wedding apparel and accessories on Tmall.com, the famous shopping website with over 70,000 brands.
Tmall.com is a part of Taobao.com, the biggest online shopping website in China, connecting countless sellers and consumers. There you can find a huge variety of products offered by verified brands with intellectual property rights. From my personal angle, I believe Lightinthebox chooses Tmall to start its domestic trade for good reason. The huge customer base and the strong reputation of the brand shopping platform should be the biggest attractions for Lightinthebox. Compared with creating its own shopping website targeted at Chinese domestic customers, Lightinthebox may be able to raise its popularity on the domestic market more quickly and more easily.
It is interesting to mention that Lightinthebox chooses to open its first domestic store at its competitor AliExpress.com’s sister website – AliExpress and Tmall both belong to Alibaba Group. Based on my findings, currently the Lightinthebox Tmall store is run by the Shenzhen branch office of Lightinthebox.com, mainly offering high-end wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, party dresses and wedding accessories.
By comparison, I notice that the prices Lightinthebox Tmall store offers on the wedding dresses and party dresses are generally higher than market prices. For instance, the wedding dresses are priced at from ￥588RMB (about $100USD) to ￥3188RMB (about $500USD). But obviously, the wedding apparel and special occasion dresses available in the store seem much superior in designs and quality. That’s why I said the wedding dresses and other apparel and accessories are “high-end”.

When it comes to buying wholesale cosplay costumes, China has some great online shops to choose from. In one of our previous posts, I introduced in detail that Milanoo.com is a famous cosplay costume online store. In this post, I am going to review the cosplay costumes available at Lightinthebox.com, another reliable China-based online shopping website.
I notice that Lightinthebox.com significantly enlarged its product line of cosplay costumes and other costumes this year. Now the Costumes category has been listed as one of the most important categories, positioned in an eye-catching place at the top navigation area of Lightinthebox.com. This change the site made obviously tells us that the company has determined to grab the market share of wholesale cosplay costumes. Considering its unbeatable strength in the arena of online international wholesale business, I know Lightinthebox will do it well.
The Cosplay Costumes category at Lightinthebox.com contains a huge selection of costumes for the most popular anime and manga, including Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Ball, Ouran High School Host Club and much more. The cosplay costumes for sale there are sourced by Lightinthebox staff from top Chinese suppliers of costumes. The quality is guaranteed and the prices are reasonable. Discounts are sometimes offered on select items. In particular, you can find discounted cosplay costumes or other costumes from its Costumes Weekly Deals page. Occasionally you may also benefit from its free shipping promotion if your order value reaches a certain threshold. Some of the cosplay costumes have been rated by other customers who have bought the products. You can read such ratings or reviews for reference.
When I saw the RC air swimmer flying shark at AliExpress.com, I instantly realized that not only kids would love this interesting toy, even adults would be fascinated by the scary yet lovely animal toy at a party. Then I decided to write this RC air swimmer flying shark review to share the innovative product with our readers.
This radio control air swimmer flying shark is made in Guangdong Province, the biggest manufacturing hub in China. First, fill the shark with helium. Then, by operating the remote controller, you can make the inflated shark fly in the air just like a real shark swimming in the sea! The body of the shark is made of quality and durable nylon material, which can stay inflated for weeks. The shark is 145cm (57 inches) long and 92cm (36 inches) tall. The controller requires two AA batteries and is able to complete up, down and 360 degree turning control. The air shark can climb, descend and vibrate its tail fin according to the signals of the controller. Generally, with a pair of 2 AA batteries, the remote controller can last for hours so that you can have so much fun with the swimming-in-the-air shark.
The lovely RC shark toy is suitable as a toy for children of age 5 and above as well as grown-ups. I personally believe that this toy is a great option as a Christmas 2011 gift. This novelty item is now on sale at AliExpress.com – it is priced at $34.99 after discount. If you purchase in bulk, you will get a better price: $34.99 per piece. Free shipping is available worldwide by China Post air mail. You are also encouraged to negotiate an even lower unit price with the supplier if you decide to place a big wholesale order.
Covered by a 12-month warranty, the RC air swimmer flying shark is quality assured. If the shark you purchased does not run well, you can return it for a refund or a replacement. The supplier accepts payment through the AliExpress escrow buyer protection service so you can be confident that the transaction between you and the supplier is completely safe.
In addition, the seller has another style of RC air swimmer to choose from: a RC clownfish. It is adorable too. If my RC air swimmer flying shark review is helpful for interested parties, I will be really flattered!
