A simple yet crucial workflow for shoppers using agent services like PinguBuy. Following this guide prevents costly mistakes and ensures you receive exactly what you ordered.
The Core Principle: Link Verification
The most common source of error in agent purchases is a mismatch between the product link you intended and the one the agent actually processes. A misplaced character in the URL can lead to a completely wrong item, size, or color. The solution is systematic organization and verification.
The Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Organize Your Links in a Spreadsheet
Never submit links to your agent via chat messages alone. Instead, maintain a master spreadsheet (Google Sheets, Excel, etc.) for all your orders. Create dedicated columns for:
- Item Description
- Weidian/Taobao Product URL
- Specifications (Size, Color, Version)
- Price
- Agent Order Number (to fill later)
This is your single source of truth. Share this spreadsheet with your agent when submitting your purchase list.
Step 2: Agent Purchases and Provides QC Photos
After you submit the order and make payment, your agent (e.g., PinguBuy) will purchase the item from the provided links. Once the items arrive in their warehouse, they will conduct a Quality Check (QC) and provide you with professional QC photos.
Step 3: The Critical Verification Check
This is the most important step.
Check for: logo placement, tags, colors, patterns, distinctive features, and packaging. Ensure they match perfectly.
Step 4: Approve or Exchange
If the item in the QC photos matches the product page from your stored link, you can confidently approve it for shipping.
If there is any discrepancy, do not approve it. Immediately contact your agent, reference the original product link from your spreadsheet, and request an exchange. This clear evidence streamlines the resolution process.
