The five steps

Pick a find

Choose a product from the Yupoo catalog or a spreadsheet link.

Send for a quote

Message the photo on WhatsApp; we reply with the all-in price.

Confirm payment

Approve the quote and pay; we place the order.

QC video + ship

You get a QC video to approve before it ships.

Track ~2 days

Tracking is issued in about two days via DHL/UPS/FedEx.

1 item minimum
3 pairs = free shipping
Bulk = wholesale pricing
Reply usually within hours

Step 1 — pick a find

Browse the Yupoo catalog by category, or use any Taobao, Weidian or 1688 link you already have. Check the album photos before committing, and note the price reference so the quote holds no surprises.

Step 2 — get an all-in quote

Send the product to us on WhatsApp. We confirm stock and reply with the full price — product, fee and expected shipping to your country — so you can decide before any money moves.

Step 3 — confirm and pay

Once you approve the quote, payment is made and the item is purchased from the seller, then delivered to the agent's warehouse in China to await QC.

Step 4 — QC and approve

You receive QC photos or a video of your actual item. Inspect against our QC checklist and approve only if it passes — nothing ships without your go-ahead.

Step 5 — consolidate, ship and track

Consolidate multiple approved items into one parcel to keep freight low, choose your courier, and ship. Tracking arrives in about two days. Estimate the parcel first with the shipping calculator.

What you pay, and when

There is no upfront cost to browse or get a quote — you only pay once you approve the all-in price for your specific order. That price has three parts: the product cost from the seller, our handling, and international shipping to your country. You pay per order rather than topping up a wallet, which keeps things simple and means you are never holding a balance with us. For larger hauls we quote wholesale pricing, and three pairs of shoes ship free, so it is often worth grouping items into one order. If anything about a quote is unclear, ask before paying — we would rather explain a line item than have you guess.

How long the whole thing takes

A typical order runs like this: same-day to 48-hour quote on WhatsApp, purchase from the seller once you pay, a few days for the item to reach the warehouse, then QC photos for your approval, then dispatch with tracking issued in about two days. Express couriers (DHL/UPS) then take roughly 5-9 days to the US, UK and EU. End to end, a straightforward order is usually in your hands within a couple of weeks, with the variables being seller stock and how quickly you approve QC. If you are buying for a specific date, start early — the one thing that cannot be rushed is a seller restocking an out-of-stock item.

Why order through us instead of doing it yourself

You can absolutely run an agent account yourself — our agent comparison covers the active options. The reason buyers use us instead is friction: no dashboard to learn, no wallet to pre-fund, no currency conversion to puzzle over, and a real person on WhatsApp for quotes and QC rather than a slow ticket queue. We buy the item, inspect it, and ship it to your door directly by DHL/UPS/FedEx. You get the same factory products at the same prices, minus the learning curve. For a first-timer especially, that is the difference between a haul that arrives smoothly and one that stalls on a confusing checkout.

Verdict: The process is built so you never pay blind — you see the price before paying and the item before it ships.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can order entirely over WhatsApp — send the product, approve the quote and QC, and we handle the rest. To self-order you would open an account with an active agent.

How do I pay?

You confirm the quote first, then pay by an agreed method. Nothing ships until you approve the QC photo or video.

How long does the whole process take?

Sourcing to warehouse is usually a few days, then QC, then dispatch with tracking in about two days. Total depends on seller stock and your chosen shipping speed.
