First-time China personal shopper checklist for overseas buyers
August 10, 2026 · YueFetch
If you’ve never used a China personal shopper / sourcing agent, the first order feels messy: WeChat screenshots, unclear sizes, and a price that isn’t the landed cost.
Use this checklist before you message YueFetch (or any agent). It saves a round-trip — and bad surprises.
1) Send something we can source
Best → good → workable:
1. 1688 / Taobao / product page link 2. Clear phone photos of the item + any label/SKU 3. A Pinterest/screenshot with notes (slower — we reverse-search factories)
No link and no photo? We can still brainstorm categories, but quoting takes longer.
2) Specs that prevent “wrong item”
Write down:
- Size / capacity / color / material
- Quantity (sample vs bulk)
- Must-have vs nice-to-have
- Any branding / engraving text (exact spelling)
3) Ask for a three-line English quote
Product + international shipping + service. If someone only sends one number, ask for the split.
4) Agree on QC and packing
Photo QC before export. Fragile goods need export re-pack, not retail bags.
5) Payments you can actually use
PayPal or Payoneer Request a Payment to hello@yuefetch.com. Duties at your border stay yours.
