The LoongBuy spreadsheet is an essential tool for organizing your Weidian and Taobao links. It helps users compare prices, track seller ratings, and calculate estimated shipping costs before
Why the Spreadsheet is Your Secret Weapon
Shopping on Chinese platforms like Taobao and Weidian offers incredible value, but managing multiple items can be chaotic. The LoongBuy spreadsheet transforms this chaos into order by allowing you to:
- Consolidate Links: Keep all product URLs in one, organized location.
- Compare at a Glance: List prices from different sellers for the same item to find the best deal.
- Track Seller Reputation: Note seller ratings and transaction history to avoid unreliable stores.
- Estimate Costs Accurately: Input item weight/price to forecast shipping and total costs, preventing budget surprises.
Structuring Your Shopping List for Success
A well-structured spreadsheet is key to efficiency. We recommend creating columns for the following data:
| Column Header | Purpose & Tips |
|---|---|
| Product Link | The full URL. LoongBuy's agents will use this to purchase. |
| Size/Color/Variation | Specify exact details to ensure you get the right item. |
| Price (RMB) | Listed item price. Use this to track your spending. |
| Seller Rating | Note percentage (e.g., 99.2%). Prioritize high-rated sellers. |
| Estimated Weight (kg) | Crucial for calculating shipping. Check seller descriptions. |
| Notes | Space for special instructions, backup options, or questions. |
Managing Bulk Purchases & Submitting Your Order
For haul shopping, the spreadsheet truly shines. Follow these steps:
- Compile Your List: Fill out your spreadsheet completely for all desired items.
- Review and Finalize: Double-check links, variations, and seller ratings. Remove any questionable items.
- Calculate Totals: Sum your item prices. Add a column for estimated domestic (China) shipping to the LoongBuy warehouse if applicable.
- Submit to LoongBuy: Upload or share your spreadsheet via the LoongBuy order form or your agent. This single action replaces dozens of manual link entries.
- Await Final Quote:** LoongBuy will verify stock and prices, then provide a final quote including international shipping based on the confirmed parcel weight.
