How much does my first order cost?

Expect to spend $50-100 on items plus $30-60 on shipping for a 2-3 item first haul. Costs decrease per item as your haul gets larger.

Do I need to know Chinese?

No. The spreadsheet links are direct to products. Your agent handles all Chinese-language communication with sellers.

How do I know my size?

Check the Sizing Notes column in the spreadsheet. When in doubt, measure a similar item you own and compare to the size chart on the seller page.

What if my item looks bad in QC?

You can request an exchange or refund through your agent before the item ships. Most agents allow one free exchange per item.

How long until I receive my order?

From order to delivery typically takes 2-4 weeks: 3-7 days to agent warehouse, 1-2 days for QC, and 7-14 days for international shipping.

Can I buy directly without an agent?

Some sellers offer direct shipping, but agents are strongly recommended for buyer protection, QC photos, and consolidated shipping.

Is LitBuy legal in my country?

Personal purchases of replica items for personal use are generally legal in most countries. However, reselling them may violate trademark laws. Check your local regulations.

How to Use LitBuy – Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Getting Started with LitBuy

LitBuy is a community-powered platform that connects buyers with verified replica and streetwear links through organized spreadsheets and QC galleries. If you are new to this ecosystem, the process may seem overwhelming at first, but it is actually straightforward once you understand the workflow.

This guide walks you through every step: from finding your first LitBuy link, to understanding QC photos, to placing an order through an agent, to receiving your package at your door.

Step 1: Browse the LitBuy Spreadsheet

The LitBuy spreadsheet is your starting point. It contains thousands of verified product links organized by category. You can filter by product type, price range, brand name, or community rating.

Open the spreadsheet and select your category (shoes, hoodies, t-shirts, etc.).
Use the price filter to match your budget.
Sort by community rating to see the most trusted items first.
Click the product link to open the seller page directly.

Step 2: Check the QC Gallery

Before ordering anything, always check the QC gallery for that item. QC photos are real images taken by buyers who have already received the product. They show you exactly what you will get, not the edited seller photos.

Find the item in the spreadsheet and click the QC Photos column link.
Examine at least 3-4 different buyer QC submissions for the same item.
Compare the photos against retail reference images.
Read buyer comments about sizing, quality, and any flaws.

Step 3: Choose an Agent

Most LitBuy buyers use an agent service to handle purchasing from Chinese sellers and international shipping. Agents act as your local representative in China. They buy the item, inspect it, take QC photos, and ship it to you.

Agent	Strengths	Best For
PandaBuy	User-friendly, good app	Beginners, mobile users
SuperBuy	Longest history, reliable	Experienced buyers
Wegobuy	Competitive shipping	EU buyers, tax-free lines
CSSBuy	Lowest fees	Budget-conscious buyers
Hagobuy	Fast QC turnaround	Impulse buyers, quick orders

Step 4: Place Your Order

Once you have chosen an agent, creating an order is simple. Copy the product link from the LitBuy spreadsheet, paste it into your agent dashboard, fill in the size and color, and submit.

Copy the exact product URL from the spreadsheet.
Paste into your agent order form (usually under "Buy For Me").
Select size, color, and any special instructions.
Submit and wait for the item to arrive at the agent warehouse.
Review QC photos once the agent uploads them.
Approve or request an exchange if the QC is unsatisfactory.

Step 5: Shipping and Delivery

After all your items have arrived at the warehouse and you have approved the QC photos, it is time to ship. Your agent will consolidate everything into one package and give you shipping options.

Choose a shipping line based on speed and cost (see our shipping guide).
Decide whether to keep or remove shoe boxes to save weight.
Select packaging options (vacuum seal for clothing, reinforcement for shoes).
Declare a realistic customs value ($12-15 per kg is standard).
Pay for shipping and wait for tracking updates.
