1. Begin with the original listing, not the hype
A spreadsheet is a discovery layer. Use it to narrow a large marketplace into a manageable shortlist, then open the product record and compare the visible images, seller price, options and original source link. A recognisable title or attractive cover image is not evidence that the item will match your expectations.
2. Submit a supported marketplace link
LoloBuy’s public workflow describes purchasing from channels in China. Some product pages can be captured automatically; others may require manually supplied order details. Always confirm the live order screen.
3. Separate product cost from parcel cost
The product price is only one component. Buyers should expect domestic freight where applicable, optional services, packaging choices, international delivery and possible destination taxes. Do not treat a spreadsheet’s USD conversion as a complete landed-cost quote.
4. Use warehouse photos as a decision checkpoint
LoloBuy’s public information confirms warehouse quality inspection with photos. Use those images to review visible identity, option, quantity, damage and details shown in the available views. They cannot confirm hidden materials, authenticity, long-term durability or every measurement.
5. Build the parcel only after checking route rules
Shipping availability depends on destination, item category, weight, dimensions and current route rules. Compare routes when you submit the actual parcel and follow the laws and customs rules of your destination.
6. Keep a small audit trail
Save the original listing URL, selected option, paid product price, warehouse photographs, parcel weight and tracking number. That record makes it easier to explain a mismatch and compare future orders.
