So in this guide, I'm going to share how to buy stuff from china, using chinese-only websites and get it shipped to the UK. I've been doing this for about half a year now and it's a good money earner.
Step 1: sign up on wegobuy here:
https://www.wegobuy.com/en/page/account/?partnercode=wmri5o (this website translates the sites and is also the warehouse and shipping company)
Step 2: head over to http://taobao.com/ or https://m.1688.com/ and search for an item. In this example, let's say we want these sunglasses.
They're 2¥ each. 1¥ = £0.12. let's say we want 100 of them. So £1.20.
Step 3: We paste the link of the item we want into the wegobuy search bar.. From there we can select the colour/style we want, the quantity and any order notes..
We can now purchase the item with PayPal, directly with our card, or load our wegobuy account.
From my experience, items take about a week to land at the warehouse. Then they send you pictures of the items. You can choose to return items that you don't like.
Step 4: we can now submit a shipping request, it will ask us options like extra padding, bland tag removal, declared item value and give us a few shipping options like FedEx, ems, DHL ECT. I use EMS because it's usually a month, and it's cheap. FedEx is about 7 days but very expensive.
I'll also note, I usually just buy shoes and clothes, but shipping across the world, it's all about the weight so sunglasses and maybes rookies too would be a better investment.
There's also branded items too, like some of the items I've bought in the past. Yes, there are some fakes but they're illiegal in china, too. You'll know it's fake though as it's a lot cheaper than the real items. Like in my screenshot. Those white shoes. (For anyone wondering, I was skint, but I wanted to buy shoes for my brothers)
