Cssbuy Spreadsheet Guide: Two-Payment QC and Shipping
Cssbuy is a Chinese shopping agent that buys goods from platforms such as Taobao, Weidian and 1688, receives them at its own warehouse, supplies QC photos and only arranges international dispatch once you have approved the packed parcel. Its workflow is deliberately split into two payments: the item and China domestic delivery first, international freight later.
Cssbuy suits spreadsheet users who want to separate buying from shipping: pay for the item and China domestic delivery first, review warehouse QC, then choose a route and pay international freight based on the final packed parcel.

About Cssbuy
Cssbuy is a Chinese shopping-agent service that supports purchase assistance, warehouse receipt, QC information, parcel consolidation and international dispatch. Its official footer identifies ROYA MIDEAST LTD (UK company number 16048743) as the listed company. The defining part of the workflow is that purchasing and international shipping are handled separately. You first pay for the item and China domestic delivery. Once goods reach the warehouse, you can review QC photos, consolidate parcels and select a route; international freight is then assessed from the final packed parcel's actual weight and volume. Our testing team worked through this order flow and found the split is what makes Cssbuy predictable for spreadsheet-based buying — you commit to the item before you commit to a shipping method. For storage, Cssbuy currently lists 90 free days for regular goods and 30 free days for sensitive goods, and the order flow lists 3-5 free QC photos. Fee and exchange-rate figures on this page are dated September 2026 and should be re-checked in your account. A 2025 Reddit haul report described two shipments arriving in 11 and 17 days and praised the packaging and support; that is one buyer's experience, not a delivery, customs or service guarantee.
What works well
Two-stage payment: buy first, then ship after packing
90 free storage days for regular goods and 30 for sensitive goods
Current order flow lists 3-5 free QC photos
Expert Buy option when an original link cannot be handled automatically
Payment methods include PayPal, cards, Alipay, WeChat Pay, iDEAL and Wise
What to check
International freight is only calculated after packing, so any figure quoted before warehouse receipt is an estimate, not a final shipping cost.
QC photos confirm visible order details such as colour, size, quantity and obvious damage; they are not an authenticity, material or durability guarantee.
Storage is finite: the listed allowance is 90 free days for regular goods and 30 for sensitive goods, and return eligibility depends on the seller, item condition and time limit.
Fee and exchange-rate figures are dated (as of September 2026) and change over time, so confirm current values in your account before paying.
What Cssbuy does
Cssbuy can purchase from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, receive the goods at its warehouse, provide QC information, consolidate parcels and arrange international dispatch. Because the buying and shipping legs are billed separately, the service suits buyers who would rather check a purchase at the warehouse than lock in a shipping method in advance. Verify the original source link, the product options and the seller details before placing any order.
Why the two-payment flow matters
The first payment covers the item and China domestic delivery. International freight is not final until your goods have arrived, been consolidated and been packed, so you get a review point in the middle of the order rather than at the end. That gap is where you catch a wrong size, a swapped colour or a visible defect while the return window is still open.
What you actually pay
Product price + China domestic delivery + the listed service fee of 6.30 + international shipping. The final leg depends on the packed parcel, the route selected, the destination, weight and volume. Cssbuy's facts as of September 2026 also list a 6.68 exchange rate figure and payment methods covering PayPal, cards, Alipay, WeChat Pay, iDEAL and Wise. Treat every one of these numbers as dated and confirm the live values in your account before paying.
Shipping starts after warehouse confirmation
After QC you choose which items to keep, create a parcel and compare the routes available for your destination. The international charge follows the packed parcel rather than an estimate made before warehouse receipt, which means a light, foldable item can ship for less than the same item left boxed. Read the route restrictions and any insurance terms attached to that specific shipment before you dispatch.
Spreadsheet checklist before you pay
Use the spreadsheet to reach the original item page, then verify the seller, the selected colour or version, the size, the price and any purchase restrictions. If a link needs manual handling, use Cssbuy's Expert Buy option with clear notes. QC photos help confirm visible order details, but they are not an authenticity guarantee, so decide what you are comfortable accepting before the parcel is packed.
How to use Cssbuy
Step 1 — Verify the original link
Open the original marketplace page from a spreadsheet entry you trust. Check the seller, selected options, price, size information and any purchase restrictions. If the link cannot be handled automatically, use Expert Buy and include precise notes.
Step 2 — Pay for the item and domestic delivery
Submit the selected item, variants and quantity. The first payment covers the product and its China domestic delivery. Keep a record of the original listing and your requested options so they can be checked again at warehouse receipt.
Step 3 — Review warehouse QC and act promptly
When the goods arrive, compare the available QC photos against your chosen options: style, quantity, colour, size, model and obvious damage. Photos cannot authenticate a product, so contact Cssbuy quickly if the order needs review or a return request.
Step 4 — Consolidate and pay international shipping
Keep the items you approve, create a parcel and compare the routes available for your destination. International freight is calculated after packing from the parcel's weight, volume and chosen route. Review any insurance terms shown for that parcel before dispatch.
Shopping-agent guide
Treat the Cssbuy spreadsheet as a doorway to the original product page, never as a substitute for reading it. Confirm the seller, the exact colour or version, the size, the listed price and any purchase conditions before you create an order. Where a link cannot be parsed automatically, the Expert Buy option lets you submit clear product details and notes instead. Cssbuy's flow is best handled in two stages. Stage one is the purchase: your first payment covers the product and its China domestic delivery. Stage two begins when the goods arrive — you compare the QC photos against the options you requested, decide what to keep, consolidate the items you approve and only then choose an international route and pay freight based on the packed parcel's weight and volume. Budget accordingly. Add the product price, China domestic delivery, the listed service fee and the international leg, and remember that the last of these is not final until packing. Watch the storage clock: 90 free days for regular goods and 30 for sensitive goods, as listed in September 2026. If a warehouse problem is visible, raise it immediately with your order details and QC context rather than waiting until storage is nearly due, because return eligibility depends on the seller, the item's condition and the time limit.
