Litbuy Guides
SEO-friendly tutorials for choosing agents, using buying agents, comparing fees, reading QC photos, planning hauls, and shipping safely.
Which Litbuy guide should buyers read first?
New buyers should start with the Litbuy beginner guide, then move to QC, agent comparison, fee and shipping guides as the order progresses. The guide hub is organized around actual buying decisions: finding spreadsheet links, pasting Weidian or Taobao URLs, choosing an agent, paying for items, reading warehouse QC photos, estimating total cost, consolidating a haul and selecting an international route. Use the guides with the spreadsheet and tools because each order depends on seller availability, item weight, size accuracy, route restrictions, payment method and destination customs rules. Recheck the relevant guide before every larger haul, especially when shipping lines or agent policies change.

How to use these guides together
Treat each guide as one step in the same buying workflow. Use the beginner and agent-selection guides before placing an order, the fee and comparison guides before topping up, the QC guide when warehouse photos arrive, and the shipping guides before parcel submission. If a seller changes stock, an agent updates fees, or a route becomes unavailable, return to the related guide and update your notes before paying for the next step. This keeps spreadsheet browsing, agent selection, QC review, and shipping decisions connected instead of handled as separate guesses.
