ACBuy Order Flow — 6 Steps
Total time: 2–4 weeks · 0% ACBuy service fee
Step 1: Create Your ACBuy Account
Go to acbuyshop.com and register with email. You don't need a Chinese phone number or bank account — ACBuy accepts PayPal, credit cards, and most international payment methods. The registration takes 3 minutes. Once registered, add your shipping address (your home country address) to the account settings.
Step 2: Find a Rep Link
Use the ACBuy spreadsheet to find a product URL (Weidian or Taobao format). Community spreadsheets have already verified the links — saving you from searching Chinese marketplaces manually. Copy the full URL of the item you want.
Step 3: Submit Your Order
Paste the product URL into ACBuy's search bar or ordering page. Select size, color, and quantity. Submit the order. ACBuy charges 0% service fee — you pay the item price + shipping only. The agent purchases from the Chinese seller and receives the item at their warehouse.
Step 4: Review QC Photos
This is the most important step. ACBuy uploads 5-8 photos of your item from their warehouse. Check every detail — see the full ACBuy QC guide for what to look for by category. If photos are unclear, request a reshoot. Only approve when you're satisfied.
Step 5: Choose Shipping & Receive Package
After approving QC, select your shipping method. Standard options: DHL/FedEx (7-12 days, $20-40), economy sea freight (25-45 days, $8-18), and various middle-ground options. Shipping to Germany: see ACBuy Germany shipping guide. Shipping to UK: see ACBuy UK shipping guide. Use the fee calculator to compare total costs before choosing.
