  1. BaseTao

    BaseTao combines agent purchasing and parcel forwarding in one warehouse workflow. Use Buy for Me for original marketplace links you have not paid for yet, or Ship for Me when you already bought from a Chinese seller and only need warehouse inspection, photos, consolidation and international delivery. Published policies list 120 days of free storage, free QC photos, consolidation or splitting, and a CNY 1.50 measurement service. Standard inspection covers visible colour, damage, stains, labelled size and style, but not actual measurements, colour variation or electronics functionality. Routes, delivery times and outcomes vary with destination, line, customs and declaration.

  2. Cssbuy

    CSSBuy is a Chinese shopping-agent service used by buyers who chase product links shared through TikTok spreadsheets and marketplace listings. It keeps purchasing and shipping as two separate decisions: the first payment covers the item and its China domestic delivery, and international freight only becomes final after the goods reach the warehouse, appear in QC photos and are packed into one parcel. Our testing team used that two-stage flow to compare costs at each step rather than committing to a shipping bill before warehouse receipt. Storage windows, QC-photo counts, service fees and the exchange rate are published figures dated September 2026 and can change, so confirm the current numbers inside the platform before paying.

  3. Gtbuy

    Gtbuy is a China shopping agent that runs every order as a warehouse sequence rather than a single checkout: assisted purchasing, seller dispatch, warehouse receipt, QC review, then international parcel dispatch. We ordered through Gtbuy to see how that staging changes the buying decision. The practical difference is timing. Instead of locking in an international shipping line before the goods exist in the warehouse, you verify the original marketplace link, wait for the item to be stocked, compare the QC images with your own record of the order, and only then consolidate and pick a route based on the packed parcel. Gtbuy currently lists 90 days of free storage after warehouse receipt and charges CNY 1 for a custom photo when standard QC images do not answer a specific visual question. Delivery timing and shipping prices vary by destination, route, weight and volume, and community reports describe individual parcels rather than platform-wide promises. Treat any figure you saw in a video or an older guide as a starting point and confirm the live quote in your own account before paying.

  4. Orientdig

    Orientdig is a cross-border shopping agent whose workflow separates product selection from parcel dispatch. Buyers open an original spreadsheet listing, verify the seller, variant, size, price and restrictions, then order by direct marketplace link, keyword search, image search or DIY Order. After the item reaches the warehouse, HD QC images support a visible check; rehearsal packing (3.00 per parcel) gives a better pre-dispatch weight estimate before consolidation and the choice of an international route. This page explains how the shipping side works, what it costs, and where the risks sit.
