Title: Seeking assistance for buying something from Taobao to Hong Kong
Post by: Venediction on Thu, 02 June 2016, 03:19:47

Howdy,

First post here. I live in Hong Kong and recently got my hands on my first mechanical keyboard - a GH60 with Gateron Blacks - (big thanks to LunarisDream!)

I'm in the market for a keycap set that I've found on Taobao, however, being the stupid whiteboy that I am, I'm unable to navigate the website/place an order..

I'd be more than happy to chip in a tip if someone (preferably someone who can read Mandarin) could help me out with a purchase for a keycap set!

If you can find the item you want, the AliExpress website might be easier to navigate.

Many people in Hong Kong still speak (some) English?

The written language is the same regardless of dialect.

Unfortunately been down the AliExpress road to no avail

Why is it Taobao must have all the awesome selections with no white-people compatibility!!

I usually use taobaofocus as a proxy, but to hong kong you shouldn't be needing a proxy.  Maybe someone could help you figure out how to place an order (by being a translator)?
