@tinamarie1974 I order all the time and have hundreds of successful orders. I’ve had a couple that hasn’t made it to my house and you just tell Aliexpress that you never got it and they credit your account. Never had a problem so far. I suppose I would trust them just as much as I trust a seller on ebay.
Aliexpress can take a long time to receive the products so Aliexpress is not good for making purchases you need immediately.
@tinamarie1974@werehatrack Just as Tina Marie said, I have ordered a lot of stuff from AliExpress, It is like Amazon Marketplace. Plus they are part of the HUGE Alibaba group.
The only thing is, It take a LONG time to get the item! ordering for Halloween… well it is pushing it.
There is NOTHING fast about the shipping from AliExpress, unless they have a depot here in the US.
I also have used Banggood. Like Aliexpress it is based in China.
Nothing bad to say about either unless it is the shipping speed.
@mossygreen still a little pricy there, as is Michael’s. I refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby for reasons we should not discuss on the thread (political) Good idea though!
@mossygreen@tinamarie1974 You should be able to get a coupon on their website. Michael’s has at least one coupon every week for 20% to 40% off. I think Joann’s does too. If there’s nothing on the site, you can get the Michael’s app, which has the week’s coupons. Joann’s probably has an app too, but I don’t know what’s on it.
@Kyeh not too bad actually. The instructions state that I need to get a big hoodie and just sew the feathers on row by row. Ive got a sewing machine downstairs somewhere. So once I remember how to use it, I dont think it should be too bad.
My niece will think it is a great suprise, as she calls me Aunt Chicken. No idea why, but she thinks it is hilarious. She is gonna be shocked when I come out dressed in that outfut!!!
It sounds like you already have what you need, but did you know there’s at least one website that sells clown supplies? I needed oversized red pencils for a Halloween costume, and they had just what I needed.
@tinamarie1974 It was a few years ago, so I don’t remember for sure, but it may have been this site. They have the red pencils like I bought. https://www.clownantics.com/
AliExpress?

@cengland0 I will give it a try then, I just need them before Halloween.

Oriental Trading Company, maybe?
WallyWorld has this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Simplicity-Trim-White-1-1-2-inch-Feather-Boa-Trim-Great-for-Apparel-Home-Decorating-and-Crafts-2-Yards-1-Each/54828060
@Kyeh
That was gonna be my recommendation.
One of the big box craft stores? Joann maybe?

@tinamarie1974
Wow!
@Kyeh lets hope it turns out!! Just ordered about $40 in chicken feathers. I cannot believe it was an option!!! Should arrive by end of September
@tinamarie1974 Oh, good. It sounds like a lot of work but it should be incredible!

@Kyeh @tinamarie1974
You got the feet yet? Or are you planning on some of those notorious boots?
@chienfou @Kyeh no boots, havent figured out the feet or hand situatuon yet.
@chienfou @tinamarie1974 I sure hope someone films her reaction!
@chienfou @tinamarie1974
Ooooo, some yellow or orange Clawz might be good … ?! Although the person in the picture seems to just be using yellow gloves!
@chienfou @Kyeh I actually just purchased these
@chienfou @Kyeh and I just found orange leggings on clearance at JCP!!!
@chienfou @tinamarie1974
Oh, those are terrific!
And orange leggings on clearance - who’da thought?
Aliexpress has a bunch of choices. Just search for “Feather Boa”. Here’s one example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832823447364.html
If that project doesn’t work out, we can probably get you one of these boas:

@lisagd I did not, but I am curious. Can you share?
@tinamarie1974 It was a few years ago, so I don’t remember for sure, but it may have been this site. They have the red pencils like I bought. https://www.clownantics.com/
I googled “Clown supplies” and a bunch of links came up. Only one that I checked had white boas:

Believe it or not, there’s a site just for feather boas! The price for this one doesn’t look too bad.
