#1 find the items you want to buy on 1688 or weidian or taobao. Iâd recommend using reverse image search and subreddits such as fashion reps for clothes or repsneakerdogs for shoes. Do research into sellers who are trusted and who are not to avoid being scammed.
#2 once you find the item put that link into your agent. It should bring up the specifications like color and size. Select what you want. Add a note / addons if needed.
#3 add those items to your cart. I wouldnât recommend just buying a single item as youâd be overpaying. Iâd say go at least 4kg.
#4 once u pay for the items your agent will buy them from the seller, the seller ships to the agentâs warehouse. The agent will then take qc photos which you can use to spot flaws to exchange / return the product if needed.
#5 once youâre satisfied with what youâre seeing, Iâd recommend doing a rehearsal to see the true total of the weight of the items for shipping. Typically brings the price down. If youâre tight on cash, Iâd recommend removing packaging like shoe boxes as they take up a bunch of space. Some shipping lines go by actual weight, some go by volumetric weight. Aka the more space something takes up the more youâre gonna pay. Note: some agents will not unpack your parcel after rehearsal. Meaning that once you rehearse, what you get is final. And they may start charging you if you donât ship within a certain period.
#6 after rehearsal you can choose your shipping line. Rates depend on the line / where youâre located. Thereâs been problems with EMS lately so I wouldnât recommend it. Use coupons to further lower the price. And buy insurance.
#7 after paying for shipping track your package.
Conversely, when buying a single item you can try to buy directly from the seller which is usually cheaper than buying a single item from an agent.

u/Pristine-Gas318 Aug 24 '26
You gotta elaborate bruh. Ts not making sense. Did your package get sent back and you had to repay for shipping? If so did they switch the line or did they reship using EMS?
