China-based agent with 120-day free storage, free QC photos at no extra cost, one of the widest payment menus and Amazon FBA and dropship support.
basetao is a China-based shopping and forwarding agent that purchases items from Chinese platforms on your behalf, stores and inspects them, then ships them internationally. Overseas shoppers frequently combine a basetao spreadsheet of vetted product links with the agent's buy-and-forward workflow to build hauls efficiently. Beyond standard proxy buying it also supports Amazon FBA prep and dropshipping, with its warehouse based in China.
