Why the item price is only the starting point
Superbuy separates purchasing from international parcel shipping. The first stage includes the item, seller-to-warehouse delivery and any applicable purchasing service charge. Optional services are separate choices.
When saving a candidate in the Superbuy Spreadsheet catalog, keep its CNY item reference beside your selected option and quantity. Leave space for the rest of the order rather than treating the dollar display on a product card as a delivered price.

Is Superbuy’s purchasing service free?
The official schedule distinguishes platforms and service types. A zero purchasing fee does not remove the item price or delivery charges.
| Published purchasing category | Official schedule |
|---|---|
| Standard Taobao, Tmall, JD.com and 1688 purchases | No purchasing service fee |
| Xianyu, Paipai and Zhuanzhuan | CNY 20 per order |
| Kongfz / other secondhand platforms; unlisted platforms | 10% of item value; minimum CNY 10, maximum CNY 20 |
Special preorder or limited-item purchasing has separate terms. Confirm the service category for your exact source link before paying; this short table is not a complete schedule.

Ask what an optional service will answer
Superbuy lists paid extras such as detailed photography, inspection and packaging. Check the selected service and its current order-screen price.
For a shoe, you might need a readable size label or a measurement taken in a specified way. For a hoodie, you might need flat chest width or a close-up of a particular area. Write the question first, then decide whether the offered service can answer it.
We do not publish a fixed detailed-photo price here: the official page’s worked example and service listing show different amounts. Confirm the charge when selecting the service.

Check the storage clock separately
The published policy gives 90 days of free storage, followed by CNY 0.10 per item per day, with a standard maximum of 180 days. A paid extension changes the maximum storage period; it does not waive daily charges after the free period.
Keep each item’s arrival date and account deadline with your shortlist. If you are waiting for another item, check the existing items’ clocks before deciding to combine them. Resolve unclear deadlines with support while there is still time to act.

Build your own cost record
Use one currency for the comparison and keep any payment conversion separately. The figures below are invented worksheet inputs, not a Superbuy quote, a live product offer or a transaction by our team.
| Budget line | Illustrative record |
|---|---|
| Selected item | Assume CNY 200 for one item |
| Seller-to-warehouse delivery | Assume CNY 10 |
| Purchasing service | Assume CNY 0 for an eligible standard purchase |
| Subtotal of those three lines | CNY 210 — before any other charges |
| Optional services and storage | Record the charges relevant to your choices and dates |
| International parcel | Add a quote for the actual destination and packing |
| Payment and applicable import costs | Check the relevant provider and official destination requirements |
Compare the same scope before paying
International shipping depends on the parcel, route and destination. The official page describes an initial shipping collection and reconciliation against actual charges; keep the estimate and final bill distinct.
Before accepting a total, ask which items and quantities it covers, which currency it uses, what services you selected and which costs remain unknown. A coupon headline or a low product price cannot fill those blanks.
To continue choosing products, open the exact Superbuy Spreadsheet product detail from a category. Record the current option and price there, then use the relevant official purchasing and shipping screens for order-specific charges.
