The classic Shop For Me 6 steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 1 Submit item links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your desired items from Taobao or any other China’s online store, then copy and paste the items URL to place your order at Quick Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: You cannot pay immediately when you place your order. You could return to check your order process status or wait for our confirmation email to access to your payment page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 2 Wait for us to confirm the status of the items<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will check with the seller for your items’ availability and will email you at first time. If it’s available, we will confirm with you requesting your first payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First payment = Items cost + Domestic delivery fee + Service fee<\/p>

Service fee = (Items cost + Domestic delivery fee) * 8%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Click on the Pricing page<\/a> for a detailed explanation of the service fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 3 Make your 1st payment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your first payment is done, we will purchase the items from taobao sellers. Usually the products arrive at our warehouse in 2-5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 4 Waiting for us to purchase and pack the items<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will double check items quality, take photos and email you requesting the second payment (international shipping fee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 5 Make your 2nd payment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the second payment is done, we will send out your parcel within 12 hours, and update tracking number in your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second payment = International shipping fee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Step 6 Waiting for receipt of items<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 5-7 days, your items will be shipped to your door. Anyhow, the international shipping time depends on what methods of shipment you use and where you have your parcels sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop For Me FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Why is it even cheaper to use purchasing agent than if I buy from Taobao on my own?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, we provide you a large discount for international shipping, which is almost impossible to get if you buy on your own. Secondly, if you buy different items from different sellers on your own, you need to pay international shipping every time for each order. However, we could deliver all your items in one parcel, and you only need to pay one international shipping fee. This helps you save a lot of money. Thirdly, we double check your items for defects before international shipping, if return is necessary, your loss is minimized; while it\u2019s impossible for you to do so if you buy on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 If I find problems with my items, will you charge extra service fee if I need your help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, all help is free of charge, no extra service fee. We can help you negotiate with sellers for any problems, such as change for size, change for color, or return items and apply for refund, etc. We will try our best to help, but can not guarantee the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Can I ask for a refund if my item is out of stock after I make the 1st payment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we will refund you all fees if your item is out of stock after the1st payment, including items cost+ domestic fee+ our service fee, and will deduct the refund from shipping fee for you. If the refund is more than shipping fee, we will use refund to pay for shipping directly and refund extra to your PayPal account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2605 Can I change the items list before I make the 1st payment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they are available, we will change your order status to \u201cPay\u201d, you can pay at that time.
