“I only know the agent name”
Start with the service name followed by “spreadsheet” or the product category you want. Searches such as “Mulebuy spreadsheet,” “OrientDig shoes,” “CNFans jackets,” or “Kakobuy bags” are clear enough to begin without locking you into one seller or model.
You may also see lists associated with Hoobuy, ACBuy, AllChinaBuy, Superbuy, CSSBuy, Sugargoo, Oopbuy, HubBuyCN, KameyMall, Basetao, Joyagoo and USFans. Choose the name that matches the service or list you are investigating. There is no benefit in putting every agent name into one search.
A name is only a starting point
Seeing a service mentioned here does not confirm its current status, ownership or reliability. Check the intended domain and current terms yourself before creating an account or making a payment.
“I found an item but need the original link”
Add “link” or the likely source—Taobao, Weidian, 1688 or Yupoo—to the agent name and item description. This can help you move from a screenshot or spreadsheet row to the listing that contains the options and seller details.
Do not stop at the first address that opens. Confirm that the title, photos, selected version and available sizes match what you were shown. If an agent-formatted address redirects somewhere unexpected, return to the source and check it again.
“I need QC photos or measurements”
Once you know which item you are considering, change the question. Look for the exact item plus “QC photos,” “warehouse photos,” “size chart,” or the measurement you need. The service name alone is less important at this stage than matching the evidence to the correct color and size.
- For clothing, compare garment measurements with something you already own.
- For shoes, confirm the sizing system and ask for insole length when possible.
- For bags, check dimensions, closures, hardware and empty weight.
- For electronics, confirm voltage, plug, battery and device compatibility.
Warehouse photos are useful, but their limits matter. Lighting can change colors, a photo can miss a defect, and an image from another buyer may show a different batch. Use several checks together.
“I am comparing shipping”
Delivery questions need context. “CNFans shipping cost” or “Mulebuy shipping estimate” may lead you to a calculator, but the result is only as useful as the inputs. Destination, packed weight, parcel dimensions, restricted items and available routes can all change the answer.
| Question | What to have ready | Where to confirm it |
|---|---|---|
| How much could delivery cost? | Destination, packed weight and parcel dimensions | The service’s current calculator or warehouse estimate |
| Which route can carry the item? | Item type, battery or liquid details, destination | The current route restrictions and service terms |
| Is tracking available? | Chosen route and parcel reference | The service and carrier tracking pages |
| What happens if there is a problem? | Order stage, photos, messages and dates | The current support and refund policy |
Compare the full cost and the conditions that matter to you—not just the smallest number on the page. The shipping-weight guide explains why parcel dimensions often change the estimate.
“I am new and do not know which result to trust”
A useful spreadsheet saves time, but it should not make the decision for you. Check a sample of rows before relying on the whole list. Working destinations, specific descriptions, recent evidence and visible maintenance are better signs than a large row count or a bold “best” label.
Reviews also need context. Look for a date, destination, product type and route. A detailed experience is more useful than a one-line verdict, but it still describes one order. Keep platform risk, seller risk, product risk and shipping risk separate.
Three examples that stay focused
- Finding a pair of shoes: begin with “Superbuy shoes spreadsheet,” then check the source, size system, insole measurement and photos for the exact pair.
- Checking a jacket: begin with “OrientDig jackets,” then compare chest, length and sleeve measurements before looking at packed bulk.
- Planning a parcel: once the items are at the warehouse, use the actual packed figures to compare current routes and restrictions.
The same order works across most services: discover, trace the source, verify the exact variant, then plan delivery. Use the five-minute spreadsheet check before trusting a long list and the row checklist before saving an item. For a Kakobuy-specific walkthrough, continue to the Kakobuy search guide.
External directories, listings and service terms can change. Recheck the destination before making a decision.
