Overview

What is the Tomebuy Spreadsheet?

Tomebuy is a China shopping agent operated by a Hong Kong company, and it works alongside a Tomebuy spreadsheet of curated product links. You paste a link from Taobao, Tmall, 1688 or Weidian, search by keyword, or upload a photo for image search, and Tomebuy's agents buy the item and have it delivered to the Tomebuy warehouse. There each order is inspected and gets 3-5 free QC pictures before storage, ready for you to ship items separately or consolidate them into one parcel. Products from other platforms such as Xianyu or Pinduoduo can be requested through its DIY Orders form. The site is available in English, French and Simplified Chinese, with prices shown in USD, EUR or GBP.

Service fee
Tomebuy says it charges no handling fee: the total is the item cost (product price plus domestic shipping to the warehouse), international shipping and customs charges. The customs declaration cost is generally RMB 8.00 per parcel, depending on the shipping method. Value-added services are optional and charged separately.
Free storage
The tutorial and home page give 60 days of free storage per order, and you can buy extra storage time before it expires. The storage policy page sets a 90-day storage period from 'in storage', with an email reminder at day 60; goods left unclaimed after that are treated as abandoned. Abnormal parcels with no matching order are kept for 60 days.
QC photos
Tomebuy provides 3-5 free QC pictures per order; extra pictures or specific angles can be bought from the Orders page (the price is not publicly listed). Inspection checks appearance only. Sealed items and products other than garments, bags, suitcases and shoes are not opened, and electronics are not tested for function.
Forwarding
From the Warehouse page you select items, add the recipient and choose a shipping method; items can be shipped separately or consolidated to save on first-weight and per-parcel charges. After payment the warehouse packs, weighs and measures the parcel, and the final cost follows the carrier's actual size and weight. No public freight estimator or line price list is published, and Tomebuy says it has registered an IOSS number for EU shipments.

More about Tomebuy

How Tomebuy Works

Copy a product link from a Tomebuy spreadsheet or from Taobao, Tmall, 1688 or Weidian, paste it into the Tomebuy search bar, and choose the model, colour, size and quantity. You pay for the item and any China domestic shipping, and Tomebuy's agents contact the seller and have it sent to the Tomebuy warehouse, with progress shown on the Orders page. For links from platforms the search does not cover, such as Xianyu or Pinduoduo, you fill in the DIY Orders form instead.

QC Photos, Storage and Consolidation

When an order reaches the warehouse, Tomebuy inspects it and provides 3-5 free QC pictures, and notifies you if it finds an issue. Inspection is visual: sealed items and products other than garments, bags, suitcases and shoes are not opened. Orders are stored free for 60 days, with extra storage time available to buy, so you can wait for several orders and combine them into one parcel, which saves extra first-weight and per-parcel charges compared with shipping each item separately.

Fees, Payment and After-Sales

Tomebuy's published fee formula is item cost plus international shipping plus customs charges, with no handling fee and a customs declaration cost of generally RMB 8.00 per parcel. International credit cards are paid through a PayPal-provided channel. Returns must be requested within 5 days of an item being stocked, with a USD 0.75 service fee and shipping both ways for returns with no quality issue. Goods lost or damaged in the warehouse are compensated, and Tomebuy helps with carrier claims for losses in transit.

Goods lost or damaged in its warehouse are compensated, purchased goods at their original price. Card payments run through a PayPal-provided channel. Its policy pages date from late 2025, so its track record is short.
