HOW TO ORDER FROM CHINA:
THE MANUAL

Don't let language barriers stop you. Learn How To Order From China via CNfans. We walk you through buying directly from Taobao, Weidian, and 1688—safely and easily. From spreadsheet to doorstep, simplified.

Steps

Step One

Find Items

Browse China's E-commerce Platform

You can use the Kindredflip Spreadsheet or Discord Bot to find verified items. Alternatively, browse platforms like Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 directly. To order, simply copy the product link and paste it into the search bar on CNfans or any other agent's website.

Step Two

Making a Cart

Selecting Your Color, Size, Batch and Quantity

After you found your product, you can directly select the color, size, batch and quantity, add special remark if you need to and click Buy Now or Add to Cart

Pro Tips:

Check 'Agree' box
Click 'Add to Cart' or 'Buy Now'

Step Three

Submit Order

Paying For The Goods

Go to your cart, select the items you want to purchase, and click submit. You will pay for the item cost first. Shipping comes later.

Step Four

Inspection & Storage

Wait for Arrival

Status will change: Purchased → Seller Sent → Stock Arrived. Once in the warehouse, you get QC pictures. You have 60 days of free storage. Use this time to collect items in batches. Generally, for most agents, shipping rates become relatively cheaper when the total weight exceeds 20kg, so combining your orders is a smart way to save.

Step Five

Rehearsal

Prepackaging The Parcel

Select your items in the warehouse and click 'Rehearsal Packing'. This gives you the exact weight and volume so you don't overpay for shipping.
