Make Friends TMF (New Store)

The Quick & Dirty Overview

Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it—this is a Weidian store that's clearly making waves for sneakerheads, but it's not all smooth sailing. "交个朋友TMF（新店）" is a newer shop with 892 products in the catalog, almost all of them shoes, and they've got a solid 4.9 seller rating from just 12 total reviews. That's a small sample size, so take it with a grain of salt, but the early buzz is mostly positive. The store's dispatch SLA is listed at 48 hours, and the average dispatch time is 2.5 days, while the average delivery to the Chinese agent's warehouse (remember, that's just domestic—not your international shipping) is 2.4 days. So if you're using a proxy, expect your haul to hit the warehouse in about two to three business days. Not lightning fast, but pretty standard for Weidian.

Now, the good stuff. The top 3 most favorited items are the GEL-NYC, Air Force 1 Low Supreme, and Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott—and if you check the recent reviews, people are eating this stuff up. One buyer straight up said the Balenciaga Track and Runner 7.0 are "the best batch on the market" and arrived at the warehouse in just one day. Another guy was blown away by the GEL-NYC for 100 yuan, calling it "almost impossible for the price" and saying he already ordered a second pair. Reviews for the 9060 and Kobe 5/6 Protro talk about comfort, solid materials, and true-to-size fits. For the most part, people are thrilled.

But here's where I have to be brutally honest. There are 3 products with defect records, and the store's return rate range sits between 20% and 30%—that's not amazing, folks. That's a chunk of orders going back, which tells me quality control is a bit hit or miss. Also, one recent review for the 9060 (in Italian) complained that the shoes took a while to actually get shipped out, even though the seller claims 48-hour dispatch. So while the majority of reviews are glowing, you're rolling the dice on consistency. My take: if you're after specific hype sneakers and you're okay with a possible wait or a potential flaw, this place has some serious gems. But don't expect perfection every single time. Solid find overall, but keep your expectations in check.
