I asked Jeff about this, and he said Aeros could actually be all over the place when it comes to shoulders. They’re famous for being rounder, but this is correct as well.

No way on Gods earth am I going to attempt to argue with Zu’s conclusions….

If that’s what he says, that’s the way it is.

Hi,
Forgive me the noob question, but can someone in short explain how this parcel-up is working?
Talking about shipping to EU Belgium in my case?
Shipping cost, customs, etc.?
Thanks

Pretty much all the intermediaries ultimately work the same way: they have a website that essentially translates Taobao into English (or your local language? Not sure on that point), and when you buy through their website, the item gets shipped to their warehouse in China. You then have to pay a second time, this time the cost of shipping from their warehouse to your mailing address. I don’t know what import duties will be like, but I do know that the other intermediary people have been using, Superbuy, lets you choose what cost/value you want them to declare on the customs form. That might be the way to go for you.

Thanks a lot Jan.
Ok. English works for me.
I'm using Stackry when buying in US. Also let me put the value on the item and decide what shipping I prefer.
In that case, Superbuy might be more interesting for us EU shoppers.
It's the buying through their website that wasn't clear.
Bedankt!

I don't give them my credit card. Parcelup takes Paypal. For Superbuy, I ended up using a financial services app called Wise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_(company)
