How to Buy From Weidian
Weidian sellers do not ship outside China and listings are in Chinese, so you buy through a shopping agent: it orders the item from the Weidian seller, photographs it in its warehouse and ships everything you bought in one parcel. From order to doorstep it usually takes two to four weeks.
1. Create an agent account.
Kakobuy is the default on TheWeidianSpreadsheet; USFans, Sinabuy, Litbuy, Oopbuy and Acbuy work too. Switch the agent at the top of any page and every Weidian link follows.
New accounts get shipping coupons, so sign up through an offer before your first Weidian order.
2. Open a Weidian link and add it to your cart.
The order button opens the Weidian listing inside your agent, translated. Pick the colourway and size there and add it to your cart.
Check the seller's size chart. Most Weidian sellers use Asian sizing, about one size smaller than EU or US labels.
3. Pay for the item.
You pay the Weidian price plus a few yuan of shipping to the agent's warehouse in China.
International shipping is paid later, once everything has arrived and been weighed.
4. Check the QC photos.
When the item reaches the warehouse, the agent posts photos of it. Compare them with retail pictures and with the QC photos on the item page.
If the size, colour or quality is wrong, ask for an exchange or a return now. After the parcel leaves China it is too late.
5. Ship your order.
Choose the items to send together, pick a shipping line and pay by weight.
Lines differ in price, speed and customs handling. Your agent's calculator shows what is available for your country.
6. Track the parcel.
You get a tracking number once the parcel is handed to the line. Delivery takes one to three weeks.
