Structuring Your Shopping List for Maximum Efficiency
A well-organized spreadsheet is crucial. Follow this structure for each item in your list:
| Column | Purpose | Example Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Product Link | The exact URL from Taobao/Weidian. | https://item.taobao.com/item?id=123456789 |
| Item Description/Specifications | Size, color, quantity, and any specific notes. | "Black, Size L, Note: Need original box." |
| Price (¥) | Unit price in Chinese Yuan. | 150.00 |
| Seller Rating | Store rating (e.g., Crown, Diamond) or score. | 4.8 / 5 Crown Store |
| Domestic Shipping (¥) | Shipping cost from seller to LoongBuy warehouse. | 10.00 or "Free" |
| Subtotal (¥) | Auto-calculated: (Price * Quantity) + Domestic Shipping. | 310.00 |
Strategies for Managing Bulk Purchases
For large hauls or group buys, the spreadsheet becomes even more powerful.
Consolidate by Warehouse
Group items from sellers in the same region or city. This can sometimes reduce domestic shipping fees or speed up consolidation.
Use Tabs or Sections
Create separate sheets or sections for different categories (e.g., "Clothing," "Electronics," "For Friend A"). This keeps your list manageable.
Pre-Calculate International Shipping
Add a column for estimated weight. Use LoongBuy's shipping calculator to estimate costs per kg and add a projected shipping column to see the true total cost per item.
