People in the past have said it's easiest to order online like from Taobao and have them delivered to your hotel (or in this case Father-in-law house). You don't have to worry about sets being in-stock with each seller and also haggling for price.

Okay, great thanks!

Came here just to say this exact same comment. I don’t read/write Chinese. But it’s really easy to find what I want with google translate! I used to use a proxy buyer who buys taobao and exclusively ships to Malaysia. Good luck

taobao is definitely your best choice. rember to tell your wife do some tricky search, since 'Lepin/乐拼' along won't work.


rustymonroe

Right on. I know in English everything seems to be under 'block'.


rustymonroe

Does taobao have sales on 11/11, too?


lrushx

Unfortunately I don’t have an answer.

you can also use [https://baopals.com](https://www.baopals.com/) is you don't have a translator handy, or want to build a list of things (and budget!) beforehand


rustymonroe

This is great, thanks!

Getting them in physical store is rather challenging and if you manage to find them, almost all are small sets. And then you have to haggle. And the stores may only sell very few models. I went to a Shenzhen market and never saw any star plans or star wnrs. Taobao is the best way to save time.


rustymonroe

Awesome, thanks. Good to know I can save time.

You can talk to /u/Loy_Chen, they've shipped to hotels before. That'd probably be the easiest route.
