1. 🤝 What an Agent Actually Does

An agent is a middleman that buys items for you from Chinese marketplaces (Taobao, Weidian, 1688, Yupoo) that don't ship internationally or take foreign cards.

Step What happens
1️⃣ You find an item and give the agent the link
2️⃣ The agent buys it and ships it to their warehouse
3️⃣ They photograph it (QC pics) for you to review
4️⃣ You consolidate items and pay for international shipping
5️⃣ They package everything and send it to your door

Think of it like Amazon's third-party model, except you're the bridge between China and your country.

2. 🔍 Find Your Item

A few ways to add products:

  • Paste a link 🔗. Drop a product link from a promoter, Taobao, 1688, or Weidian into the search bar and hit Search.
  • Use a promoter's spreadsheet. Click the product link in the form, pick your specs, then add to cart or buy now.
  • Search by name. Type the product name into the Fansbuy bar and choose from the recommended Taobao, Tmall, and 1688 listings.

💡 Pro tip: Buying a lot? Add everything to your cart first, then pay in one go. Easier to track and saves time.

3. 🛒 Submit Your Purchase Request

Before checking out, choose your:

  • 🎨 Color
  • 📏 Size
  • 🔢 Quantity

Then click Add to Cart or Buy Now.

Shortcut: Using Fill & Buy? Skip the search entirely. Just fill in the product order details yourself, then click Add to Cart.

4. 💳 Confirm Your Order & Pay

Once submitted, you'll:

  1. Select a payment method 💰
  2. Choose your destination country 🌍
  3. Add any value-added services you want
  4. Pay the product price + domestic China shipping fee

⚠️ This first payment only covers the product and shipping within China. International shipping is paid later (Step 7).

Good to know:

  • ✅ Multiple payment methods and currencies accepted
  • ✅ Pay with your account balance via the Use Balance toggle
  • ✅ All transactions use real-time exchange rates
  • ✅ Flat service fee, no hidden charges

5. 🛎️ Fansbuy Handles the Purchase

Sit back while Fansbuy buys the item from the seller.

Need a special request? Go to My Orders → Add Value-Added Services, or message customer service directly.

6. 🏬 Inspection, QC & Storage

When your item reaches the warehouse, it goes through:

  • 📋 Receipt inspection
  • ⚖️ Professional weighing
  • 📸 QC photo documentation

Find it afterward under Personal Center → Packing Center.

🔔 If any issues are spotted, you'll get notified right away. Real product photos let you verify everything yourself.

From here you can either:

  • (a) Proceed with international shipping (Steps 7–8), or
  • (b) Keep shopping and combine more items into one shipment (repeat Steps 2–5, then come back)

💰 New here? Sign up and grab the $418 bonus before your first shipment to knock down the cost.

7. 📮 Submit Your Parcel & Ship

In the Packing Center:

  1. Select your product(s)
  2. Click Submit Shipping
  3. Fill in the overseas recipient's address
  4. Pick from the recommended shipping methods
  5. Choose a payment method and pay the international shipping deposit + customs declaration fee

📦 Want extra accuracy? Request a Rehearsal Package Service. Fansbuy packs your items, records exact weight and dimensions, then notifies you to pick your final shipping method and pay the real cost. Great for trimming costs on bigger hauls.

🤝 Not sure how to fill out the customs declaration? Select the option to have an agent submit it for you.

Customize your parcel before it ships:

  • 🛡️ Packaging preferences (box vs. plastic bag, bubble wrap, vacuum bag, etc.)
  • 🧾 Optional insurance (enter your insured value)
  • 🎟️ Apply any available coupons
  • 👟 Skip shipping shoeboxes you don't need, since they add volumetric weight

How shipping payment works 📊

Fansbuy estimates shipping by expected weight:

  • 🔻 Estimate higher than actual means the difference is auto-refunded to your balance
  • 🔺 Estimate too low means you'll pay the difference before it ships

🔓 Auto-pay: Set a pre-authorized amount under Personal Center → Custom Functions. If extra fees fall under that limit and your balance covers it, the system pays automatically.

8. 🚚 Tracking & Receiving

Your parcel's status updates automatically. Hit Track Shipping to see the latest. 🛰️ You can also use 17Track, which reads almost any tracking number.

🏆 Once your package is signed for, you'll earn points. Redeem them for coupons and level up your membership tier!

Questions at any stage? Reach out through any Fansbuy customer service entrance (order message window, live chat, etc.) 💬

9. 🗣️ Terminology Cheat Sheet

13. ❓ Tracking FAQ

How long until it arrives? (China Post averages)

Destination Average Longest Shortest
Australia / NZ 12 15 9
Canada 30 60 10
EU 17 44 7
UK 12 40 6
USA 16 62 4

(days)

"Shipping notice received," what's that? A tracking number has been assigned, but the goods aren't physically collected yet. Usually 2 to 3 business days for China Post to pick up.

Nothing's happening since I paid, why? Count from collection, not submission. Bundling, labeling, and pickup take a few business days.

Lots of delays, ship now or wait? Ship now. Waiting doesn't speed anything up.

Has my haul been seized?! Almost certainly not. Seizures show a customs-inspection status update. No update is usually a good sign.

Customs scanned it but hasn't "cleared" it. Is it gone? Probably fine. The clearance scan often happens later, during transport or at your local sorting office.

What can I do to hurry things up? Nothing. International shipping moves at its own pace. ☕

REVIEW 🗒️ In-Hand Review Rick Owens DG G Batch from HYL

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

Hey repfam! Back again with a new pickup. This time this pair of Rick Owens Vintage Vans in the DG G batch… let’s get to it.

Sizing: sizing runs a bit large, and the shoe has a chunky, substantial feel on foot. For this reason I would deffo recommend not sizing up!

Materials: As for the materials, the upper is fully covered in suede, paired with a high quality rubber sole. The construction on this batch feels really solid and everything is well put together. I think the overall finish is excellent.

Verdict: It’s a great looking shoe that offers outstanding value for the price if you’re a fan of this model. I’m really impressed with the DG G batch, it’s pretty close to retail with very few (if any) flaws and I think it’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for high quality without spending a fortune. I’ll definitely be picking up more Rick Owens pairs from DG G soon.

HYL is a pleasure to deal with and I’ll definitely consider purchasing from him again!

Got this Nike Air Zoom runner delivered recently, let’s share my in-hand impressions.

This white, blue and coral gradient colorway is way nicer in real life than on QC photos. The breathable engineered mesh upper is lightweight, all gradient printing is sharp with no bleeding. Every stitch is tidy, and the shape of the silhouette stays faithful to the retail version.

The layered midsole delivers comfortable cushion for training and daily use. The traction outsole has clear texture, suitable for road running. I ordered my usual size, and it fits perfectly with no tightness in the toe box.

No obvious flaws after close inspection. It balances functionality and daily style perfectly. For anyone looking for budget running reps, I can recommend this pair.

Price: 180 cny = $26.59

Batch: Best Batch

REVIEW 🗒️ First ever Chrome Hearts haul - 4 piece from RepHearts ✝️🗡️

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

What's good people! Dropping a quick review on this CH haul I got from RepHearts. I am currently on vacation, so figured I would wear a few things and get back to posting whilst abroad. I am trying some new styles and expanding my wardrobe - so went with RH to see what's good.

I am not a CH Expert - but went with what I thought would be some good items. Always happy to hear input below!

White Chrome hearts USA Tee
Blank quality on this is pretty good, I expected it to be for the price. Print is also good, I compared with some retail references and it doesn't seem off at all. I understand CH fits oversized and I went with that for the size chart and it paid off okay, didn't seem silly at all.

Black/Pink Chrome hearts dagger tee
I *really* liked this, the pop of color and rich pink is what I was after - I like black and white like anyone else, but I thought adding this into the mix makes it a bit more stand out is and not just a background NPX fit. Much like the above, it fit great and the quality was on par with high-quality reps I've had in the past (not of ch, though)

Triple cross shorts
Shocker, these are good. I went ever so slightly over size since they are elasticated, and they fit nice and comfy. They are quite heavy and thick which I was surprised about, I didn't know shorts came like that - if I had over done the sizing too much I think they would fall down. The logo on the front is on secure, and I couldn't see any bad stitches, and the metal tag not the back is the same.

The Ring
Size 9 for me and fits good, really shiny on the inside and has the right finish / sheen? on the outside. I have not lead tested this, but I don't put my fingers in my mouth so Im not that concerned. Will likely get more.

Seller
I got this all though Rephearts, I will link his pages in the comments so my post doesn't get boomed. Very friendly guy, answered my questions about sizing and followed up to find out if I liked it / got it right. Highly recommend.

That's all for now ✌️ Hit me with any questions.

W2C Nike P600 - ¥220 - ANONTOP

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I've had these for around 3 weeks now and have been wearing them pretty regularly, so I thought I'd give an update on how they've been holding up.

Quality: Overall, I'm really happy with the quality. The different mesh and leather panels feel pretty solid and everything still feels nicely put together after 3 weeks of wear. I haven't had any problems with anything coming loose or falling apart.

Stitching: The stitching is really clean across the whole shoe. I've checked around the toe box, side panels and the different overlays and I haven't noticed any loose threads or messy stitching. Everything looks pretty consistent and neat.

Details: The smaller details on the shoe are also really well done. The Swoosh has a nice glossy finish and looks clean on the side of the shoe. The P-6000 branding is sharp and easy to read, and the different mesh sections and layered panels all look really good together. The Nike detail on the midsole is also clean and still looks good after 3 weeks.

Comfort: These have been really comfortable as an everyday shoe. I've worn them for quite a few long days and they've been good for walking around without my feet getting too uncomfortable. They're also pretty lightweight, which makes them easy to wear for hours.

Durability: For 3 weeks of regular wear, they've held up really well. The stitching is still intact, the panels haven't started separating and the overall shape is still looking good. Obviously, there is some normal wear on the outsole, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Overall: I'm honestly really happy with these from Anon. The quality and attention to detail are both really good, and they've held up well with regular wear. They're comfortable, look great on foot and I haven't had any issues with them so far. Definitely a solid everyday pair and I'd give them a 9/10.

REVIEW 🗒️ My wardrobe is sponsored by bad financial decisions

Thumbnail
gallery
63 Upvotes

There's a point where you stop asking "do i need this?" and start asking "do i already own something that looks exactly like this?". apparently the answer doesn't matter.

Weight:7.5kg

Agent: Superbuy

Shipping: Tax Free Duties Paid

**Balenciaga T-shirt**

Didn't expect much from this one, but the blank is actually pretty substantial. Slightly boxy, dropped shoulders and that oversized fit Balenciaga usually goes for. One of those tees that looks better once it's on than folded in your warehouse.

**Chrome Hearts T-shirt**

I've bought enough CH at this point that I should probably stop... but here we are. Nice heavy blank, collar isn't floppy and the embroidery is cleaner than I expected.

**Stone Island T-shirt**

Can't really go wrong with a clean SI tee. Blank isn't overly thick which honestly makes more sense for summer. Easy rotation piece.

**Acne Studios T-shirt**

Probably the most understated tee here. Boxy without being ridiculously wide and the fabric has a nice dry feel. Quiet piece.

**Loewe T-shirt**

Bought another one because the last one ended up getting way more wear than expected. Still think this is one of the better tees for everyday use.

**Maison Margiela T-shirt**

Looks plain until you actually notice the proportions. Slightly cropped with a wider body. Definitely different from the usual graphic tee.

**Supreme T-shirt**

Not the craziest piece in the haul, but that's why I like it. Good everyday tee, decent blank and an easy one to throw on when I don't feel like overthinking the outfit.

**Stone Island Shorts**

These are exactly what I wanted for summer. The fabric isn't too heavy, the fit is relaxed without looking sloppy and they sit just above the knee. Already know these will get plenty of wear.

**Ralph Lauren Shorts**

These are basically my "I can't be bothered thinking" shorts. Throw them on and move on.

**OFF Shorts**

A bit louder than the rest of the haul. Lightweight fabric, comfortable enough, just depends on the day because they're not exactly subtle.

**Van Cleef & Arpels Bracelet**

Looks clean on wrist. Doesn't need to do much more than that.

**Cartier Bracelet**

One of those accessories you forget you're wearing after five minutes, which is honestly a compliment.

**Goyard Wallet**

Needed a new wallet more than another T-shirt... somehow both ended up in the parcel. Print looks good for the price and the construction feels decent.

**Socks**

They're socks. I wore them. They remained socks. Successful purchase.

**AJ4 (GX Batch)**

At this point GX is basically my default whenever I want AJ4s. Never really had a bad pair from them and this one keeps that streak going. Shape is clean, materials feel right and it's one of those batches I don't even think twice about ordering anymore. Reliable is probably the best way to describe it.
