How ordering works
Weidian, Taobao and 1688 sell inside China and will not ship to you. A shopping agent bridges that: they buy on your behalf at a Chinese address, photograph the item when it arrives, hold it in a warehouse, and forward it internationally. This archive is deliberately not tied to one of them.
Pick an agent — any agent
Every item here stores its marketplace platform and item number, so the same find opens on whichever agent you choose. If you already have an account, use that one. The item is identical; what differs is fees, shipping lines and how much of the process is in English. Open your account here.
Register before you shop
Referral attribution on every one of these agents is fixed at registration, not at checkout. Practically: open the account first, from whichever link you intend to use. It changes nothing about what you pay.
Order the find
Use the buy button for your agent on any item page. It opens that agent with the seller's listing loaded, where you pick size and colour. The archive stores photos and the recorded price, not live stock — confirm both on the agent before paying.
Check the QC photos properly
When the item reaches the warehouse you get photographs of the actual unit sent to you, before it ships. This is the one point where rejecting something is cheap. After international freight it effectively is not.
Consolidate, then ship
Freight is charged per parcel, not per item, so shipping five things separately costs several times what shipping them together does. Let items accumulate in the warehouse and submit one parcel — watching your agent's free-storage window, which differs between them.
FAQ
Do I have to use a specific agent?
No — that is the point of this archive. Every item records its marketplace platform and item number, which works on any agent. The buy buttons are a convenience, not a requirement; you can paste the item number into whichever agent you already use.
Why are the prices so low?
They are the seller's domestic CNY price and nothing else. The agent's fee and international freight are both added on top, and freight is usually the larger of the two. Judge the cost after adding them.
What happens when an agent shuts down?
You move to another one. It has happened repeatedly — Pandabuy in 2024 is the best-known case. Because this archive stores marketplace item numbers rather than one agent's links, nothing here breaks when an agent disappears.
What are QC photos?
Warehouse photographs of your specific item, taken after it arrives and before it ships to you. Distinct from the seller's listing images, which are marketing and frequently show a different production run.
Is the price here current?
It is the seller's price recorded when the find was archived. Sellers change prices and pull listings constantly, so treat it as a reference and confirm on the agent at the point of ordering.
