Why Are More W2C Users Switching from Pandabuy to CNFANS? The Answer Lies in This Comparison
The landscape of online shopping agents for the W2C (Weidian-to-Customer) market is evolving rapidly.

In this article, we compare the two services, exploring key factors like pricing, user experience, shipping efficiency, and customer support. By the end, you'll understand why CNFANS is emerging as the preferred choice.
