Ordering Guide

How to Order with the Litbuy Spreadsheet

This guide covers the complete ordering process — from finding your product on the Litbuy Spreadsheet to receiving your package at home. Each step is explained in detail so you know exactly what to expect.

The Complete Order Process — 6 Steps

1

Find Your Product and Choose the Best Batch

Browse the Litbuy Spreadsheet by category or use the search bar to find your product. Compare sellers and batches using QC photos and community ratings. Pick the batch with the best quality feedback — not necessarily the cheapest price. Check sizing notes if ordering clothing or shoes.

2

Copy the Seller Link from the Spreadsheet

Every product listing includes a direct link to its Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 page. Copy this link exactly as it appears. Don't copy the seller's store homepage — you need the specific product page link so LITBUY can order the exact item with the correct options.

3

Sign In to LITBUY and Submit Your Order

Log into your LITBUY account (or create one for free), paste the product link into the order form, and select your size, color, and quantity. Review the order summary, then complete payment. LITBUY will confirm receipt and place the order with the seller within 24 hours.

4

Wait for Your Item to Arrive at the LITBUY Warehouse

After the seller ships your item, it travels to the LITBUY warehouse in China (typically 3–7 days domestic shipping). Upon arrival, the LITBUY team inspects the item and photographs it. You'll receive QC photos in your account within 24 hours of warehouse arrival.

5

Review QC Photos and Approve (or Reject)

Check your QC photos carefully. Compare them to the spreadsheet QC photos and your expectations. If everything looks good, approve the item. If something is wrong — incorrect size, poor quality, wrong color — you can reject it and request a return before it ever ships internationally. This is your most important protection point in the process.

6

Request International Shipping and Track Your Package

Once approved, submit a shipping request from your LITBUY account. Choose your preferred shipping method (standard 7–20 days, or express options available). Your package is carefully packed and dispatched. You'll receive a tracking number to follow it from the warehouse to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payment methods does LITBUY accept?

LITBUY accepts major international payment methods including credit/debit cards and PayPal. You pay in your local currency — LITBUY handles the CNY conversion for the Chinese marketplace purchase on your behalf.

What happens if I reject an item during QC review?

If you reject an item based on QC photos, LITBUY will initiate a return with the seller on your behalf. Depending on the seller's return policy, you may receive a refund to your LITBUY balance or a replacement item. LITBUY acts as your advocate with the Chinese seller throughout this process.

Can I order from multiple sellers in one LITBUY shipment?

Yes. You can order multiple products from different Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 sellers and have them all stored in your LITBUY warehouse. When you're ready, you request one international shipment for everything — consolidating saves on shipping costs significantly.

How do I track my international shipment after LITBUY ships it?

Your tracking number is available in your LITBUY account as soon as the package is dispatched. You can use the tracking number on the carrier's website or via LITBUY's tracking interface to follow your package in real time. See the full buying process guide →
