The shopping websites offering the 2013 back-to-school supplies are all base in China. When you shop with them, you should pay attention to the processing time and shipping time required for the product you order just in case it does not arrive in time for the first day of your new school year.

In particular, Aliexpress.com is a wholesale shopping site for small and medium-sized businesses but you still can buy products from the sellers as an individual as long as the product does not require a MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity). The other websites are online retail distributors, just like the local stores near your home.

In addition to the back-to-school deals for 2013, you can also take advantage of their latest coupon codes for better savings. Just use the search box at the right top of my site to search for valid coupon codes for the websites you are interested in trading with.

A General Review of Lightinthebox.com

Based in Beijing, China, Lightinthebox.com is a New York Stock Exchange listed Chinese e-commerce website (NYSE: LITB). Having been in the online foreign trading business since 2007, their major categories include wedding dresses and other special occasion dresses, women’s fashion, home and garden and electronics.

While the site offers a variety of consumer electronics, it also has another website www.miniinthebox.com exclusively for all kinds of cool gadgets, including Apple accessories, Samsung accessories, watches, LED lights and lots more.

A Complete 2013 Back to School Checklist

A new school year means a fresh start. Everyone wants to feel like being the new and improved self on the first day of school. For this reason, most teenagers or college students start to dread the arrival of September in early August since they are not completely ready yet to usher in the new beginning. There are so many school supplies to prepare and so many things to do to get themselves ‘refreshed’. The following 2013 back-to-school checklist may help.

1. Buy outfits that will make you feel comfy and confident on your first days back. Make sure you will be wearing something of your favorites at least on the very first day to kick off the new school year. Never ignore this part as this will make difference on how you feel about yourself and bring your optimism for the year.

2. Get yourself a new haircut. With a fresh haircut you will feel extra-polished and you will never be afraid to say hi to people you used to ignore or secretly admire.

3. Prepare a few pairs of comfy shoes. The solely stylish footwear may pain your feet because of unreasonable designs. When you pick up shoes for the new school year, the priority is to consider whether they will make your feet feel comfortable or not. Otherwise, you may suffer a lot from the “beautiful shoes”. Of course, it is also important to go for those of your taste. You know, like the outfits, they will greatly affect your feelings.

Review of Fancyladies.com

Fancyladies.com is another China-based online fashion store serving customers from all over the world. Registered in Hong Kong, the company operates their business mainly in the neighbor city Shenzhen, where the cost can be reduced to much lower.

General Info

In terms of company size, with over 200 full time employees, Fancyladies.com should be put into the group of “medium-size e-commerce companies”. Like many other Chinese international shopping websites, they are not the only site belonging to the company. Instead, they have some sister websites selling the same or different products stocked in the same warehouse and managed by the same teams.

In particular, I know Didobridal.com (read review) is an important sister shopping site of Fancyladies.com. While both sites carry some identical products such as special occasion dresses, they do have different focuses. Prom dresses, evening dresses, cocktail dresses and other special occasion dresses are the major fields of Didobridal.com while lingerie especially corsets, sexy costumes, swimwear and clubwear seem to be major revenue earners of Fancyladies.com.

Milanoo Limited-time Offer on Best-selling Wedding Apparel

Through July, 19, 2013, you can enjoy 20% off a selection of the best-selling wedding apparel at Milanoo.com. No coupon codes are needed for the discount as the prices have already been reduced. What you see on the product page is the after-discount price. Once your order value reaches $99, you will also be honored with the free shipping service by using the coupon code “MILANOO-FS” at checkout.

The limited-time offer covers 87 items, all of which are the hottest under the catalog of Wedding there. From the collection you can find a good number of stylish wedding dresses of various types, including traditional floor length wedding dresses, tea length wedding dresses, mini wedding dresses and plus size wedding dresses. In addition, they also offer bridesmaid dresses, wedding reception dresses, mother-of-the-bride dresses and mother-of-the groom dresses for the promotion with the same 20% off.

I notice that many of the wedding clothing of the selection are rated frequently by the buyers. You can read the reviews for reference though the site may also withhold those negative ones from publishing, just like many Chinese online stores usually do. The good reviews assure that at least some people are happy with the products and the quality should be acceptable.

As wedding apparel is one of the major product lines of Milanoo.com, they often offer discounts for such products in different forms. Apart from this limited-time offer, you can also check out their Daily Madness zone for best deals on wedding dresses or other wedding clothes. Sometimes the discount rate can be even higher than 20% off.

Also, Milanoo.com is not the only ideal Chinese shopping sites to buy discounted wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and the like. There are some good similar sites to consider. Among all, Lightinthebox.com is the best alternative to Milanoo.com in this field. You can hardly use the sites to compare prices as generally they don’t carry the same styles and the quality standards may vary from each other.
