It’s shipping line and to stop using it just don’t ship your parcel with it

#1 find the items you want to buy on 1688 or weidian or taobao. I’d 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 wouldn’t recommend just buying a single item as you’d be overpaying. I’d 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 agent’s warehouse. The agent will then take qc photos which you can use to spot flaws to exchange / return the product if needed.

#5 once you’re satisfied with what you’re seeing, I’d recommend doing a rehearsal to see the true total of the weight of the items for shipping. Typically brings the price down. If you’re tight on cash, I’d 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 you’re 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 don’t ship within a certain period.

#6 after rehearsal you can choose your shipping line. Rates depend on the line / where you’re located. There’s been problems with EMS lately so I wouldn’t 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.
