GTBuy Spreadsheet Haul Tutorial

The GTBuy Spreadsheet at repsw2c.com is your starting point. Browse by category, use the search function, or check the trending finds section to discover products. When you find an item you want, copy the product link from the spreadsheet. Each entry includes the Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 URL that takes you directly to the seller's page. Open the link and verify that the product is still available and matches the description in the spreadsheet. Check the comments and reviews on the seller's page when available. Chinese marketplace reviews can be translated using browser extensions. Look for photo reviews from other buyers as these provide additional QC reference beyond the spreadsheet entries. Add items to your agent's cart by pasting the product link into your agent's search bar. Most agents (Mulebuy, Superbuy, etc.) accept direct links from all major Chinese marketplaces. The agent will then purchase the item on your behalf. Keep a running list of items with their prices, sizes, and colors. This helps you track your haul total and ensures you don't forget any items during the ordering process.

Once all items are in your agent's cart, review the order summary carefully. Verify quantities, sizes, colors, and special instructions before submitting payment. Payment options vary by agent but typically include credit card, PayPal, and sometimes cryptocurrency. PayPal is recommended for buyer protection, though some agents charge a small fee for PayPal transactions. After the agent places orders with sellers, items begin arriving at the warehouse. The timeline varies: some sellers ship within 24 hours, others take 3-7 days. Your agent will update the status as items arrive. When items arrive at the warehouse, the agent takes QC photos. You will receive notifications when photos are ready for review. This is your critical quality control checkpoint before international shipping. Review each item's QC photos carefully. Compare against retail photos, check for batch-specific flaws, and verify sizing. If an item has unacceptable flaws, request an exchange or return immediately. Most agents allow one free exchange per item. Do not rush the QC process. This is your only opportunity to catch problems before paying for international shipping. Experienced shoppers spend significant time on QC review.

Once all items pass QC and are in your warehouse, it's time to submit for international shipping. This is where shipping line selection becomes critical. Weigh your haul using the agent's rehearsal shipping feature if available. This gives you an accurate weight before selecting a shipping line, preventing cost surprises. Select your shipping line based on your destination, budget, and timeline needs. Refer to our GTBuy Spreadsheet Shipping Guide for detailed recommendations by country. For packaging, choose the option that balances protection and weight. Vacuum sealing saves space and weight for clothing. Remove shoe boxes unless you specifically want them. Keep original tags and packaging for items you might want to resell. Pay for shipping and receive your tracking number. Most agents provide tracking within 24 hours of package dispatch. Use 17track.net or the carrier's official tracking page for the most accurate updates. Delivery times vary significantly by line and destination. Do not panic if tracking shows no updates for several days — this is normal as packages move between countries and carriers.

The unboxing experience is one of the most satisfying parts of the haul process. Document your unboxing with photos and notes about each item. Inspect each item immediately upon arrival. Check for shipping damage, verify that all items from your order are present, and compare against the QC photos you approved. Any discrepancies should be reported to your agent immediately. Try on clothing items to verify fit. Sizing can vary between batches and factories, so even if you followed the size chart, some adjustments might be needed. Most agents do not accept returns after international shipping, so fit issues are your responsibility. Share your haul with the community. Reddit's r/FashionReps, Discord servers, and dedicated haul review threads all benefit from fresh content. Your review helps other shoppers make better decisions. Keep records of what worked and what didn't. Note which sellers and batches you would buy from again, and which to avoid. This personal database becomes invaluable for future hauls. Congratulations — you have completed your first GTBuy Spreadsheet haul!
