Home/Buying platforms

Six buying platforms, one catalogue

Every item in this catalogue can be ordered through six different platforms. They differ in how they handle a pasted link and in what they are strongest at — not in the mechanics you have to get right.

What is the same on all six

The shape of the transaction is identical everywhere. You send a source link, the platform buys it domestically, receives it at its own warehouse, photographs it for your inspection, and then forwards it internationally once you approve and pay the freight.

That means the three checks that decide whether an order goes well are also identical: inspect before the parcel is submitted, price the parcel on chargeable weight rather than the scale, and know when the free storage window closes.

  • A source link, not a screenshot
  • The exact variant written on the order form
  • A budget covering domestic delivery, freight and duty
Service fees, storage windows, route lists and cover terms are set by each platform individually and change. Confirm them on the platform you actually use — this page does not quote them, because a stale figure is worse than none.

How to choose one for a given order

Do not split an order across platforms to chase a rounding difference in the service charge. Split it only when a platform cannot carry a particular item, or when you are testing one you have not used before.

A practical rule: keep one platform as your default so consolidation and storage deadlines stay in one place, and use a second only for categories where it is visibly stronger. Rotating platforms order by order means managing several storage windows at once, which is how items get stranded.

Each platform page below explains its own link format and the acceptance checks that matter most for the category it suits.

Frequently asked questions

Do all six platforms buy from the same sellers?
They buy from the same Chinese marketplaces, which is why the same item id can be ordered through several of them. What differs is the service layer around the purchase, not the shelf.
Is one platform cheaper than the others?
Rates and fees change and vary by destination and weight, so no static page can rank them honestly. Compare the quoted total for your actual parcel on the platforms you are considering.
Can I move an item from one platform's warehouse to another?
No. A purchase belongs to the platform that made it. If you want an item through a different platform, order it again there.
Which platform should a first order use?
Whichever one you can inspect properly on. For a first order, pick a category where the quality is verifiable in a warehouse photo — footwear or clothing — and stay on one platform until the routine is familiar.
