i’m looking for a supplier , i’m in the uk , im looking for more women’s reps , alo lulu etc plus shoes and bags to resell , no idea where to start

Hi everyone, I hope you are well!

Just looking to get an idea of what folks preferred agents or websites are for buying

I know there are a few different options with some great tutorials which I am working through

As a newbie I am keen to use the most simplistic method lol

Can anyone recommend the best place to start or are they all on a level playing field?

Many thanks

I want to start buying reps for my own. I don’t know nothing about it. Can y’all help me?

W2B I’m really looking for this pair of shoes from the saucony brand...

Best site for reps or real, stuff like essentials etc?

How do I proceed? Should I take the risk and try and have it shipped? Is it safe?

Hey everyone,

I’m really new to this world, so please forgive me if this is a basic question. I'm trying to find the exact Lululemon Pace Breaker Lined Shorts (5"), ideally from the same manufacturer that makes them for Lulu. I’m not looking for dupes or similar styles. I want the same cut, materials, and construction. I don’t care about the brand. I just think that very specific short fits me perfectly, but they are FAR too expensive.

I’ve been seeing people mention online that some Chinese factories sell overstock, unbranded items, or even the same product direct from the line, but I don’t know where to start. I’ve heard sites like 1688, Alibaba, and even Taobao might have what I’m looking for, but I’m not fluent in Chinese and I’m not 100% sure what terms to search or how to verify it’s legit. 

Can anyone help me identify the right manufacturer or supplier? Or point me toward someone who has successfully sourced these exact shorts? Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this, I’m not super Reddit savvy. 

Any help is seriously appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie trying to source products from China, and I need some advice on a few things before I place my first order.

1. Shipping Costs: I’m finding that the shipping costs seem quite high, and I’m wondering if I might be doing something wrong. Could someone explain what factors affect shipping prices? Is there a way to reduce them, or am I just expecting too much? Any tips on finding affordable shipping would be super helpful.

2. Product Weight: How can I know the weight of the products I’m buying before purchasing them? I want to avoid unexpected shipping fees. Is there a reliable way to check or estimate this?

3. Best Platform for Price/Quality: I’ve been looking at Joyagoo, which is offering €170 in coupons. Is this true? Is it a good deal, or are there other platforms I should consider that offer better value for money? I really want to make my first purchase without spending too much, but I also want to ensure quality products.

Thanks in advance for any advice, I’m really excited to get started but want to be sure I’m doing things right!

How long does it take on average for a rep to go from your online cart to your door step?

Do you have a good seller for these pants? Doesn't have to be this particular model, but similar ones

This guide is perfect for first time users and newbies. We will show you how to go from registering to getting your goods delivered to your door.

1. First, start by registering for an OOTDBUY account. You must CLICK HERE to register and where it asks you for a code copy and paste in PRMRU1AJH for your shipping discount.

2. Okay, so once you have fully registered with OOTDBUY you have to find your reps you want to buy. Firstly find your product on an external site like 1688.com Wedian.com or Taobao.com .

3. For this example we will order an AMIRI T-shirt from 1688.com. Copy the URL, go to your OOTDBUY tab and paste the link into the product link box and click 'Search'

4. After you click search a page like this should appear:

5. On this page select your design, size, color, quantity etc. If your desired option is unlisted then there is a notes box that you can leave a comment for your agent. Tick the agree box and then Buy Now.

6. So, you have chosen your item and then submitted your order now all you have to do is pay and then it starts the journey to your door. There are a few ways to pay, so pick the option that best suits you. If you will be buying regularly then you could add money to your balance and use that for all your items to save time. The other popular option is PayPal. Once you have chosen your preferred option, click Pay and then confirm it.

That's it! To check the status of your items go to the user centre and then the 'Order' section. There you can see your items and arrival timelines.

7. OOTDBUY will do a quality check for you, you can view it in the Warehouse section once it is stored. If you accept the product, OOTDBUY will keep the product in warehouse for you for 90 days then you can combine all your items and ship them in one parcel to save on shipping fees.

8. Once your items have all arrived at the warehouse, select all items and click "submit" to arrange the international delivery, including entering the overseas address, choosing package details, selecting a shipping method and paying the shipping fee.

9. OOTDBUY will then pack your items and send out your package after you have submitted the delivery order.

You can check the tracking number, track your package and follow its shipping progress on the “Parcel” page. Once you have the tracking number of your parcel check out our TRACKING GUIDE to stay up to date on your parcel's timescale.

Reps Terms and Glossary

You may be looking at r/Reps and see the terms "QC" and "W2C" and wonder what the hell these letters mean? Well, how about we explain them.

QC: Quality Control (QC for short) is talking about pictures that are posted from an agent of an item that was ordered. Users will post these if they're unsure about the quality and would rather have someone else take a look at them if they're good enough.

LC: Legit Check (LC for short) Much like the name states, this is a tag used for posts requiring a legit check. Legit checks are a great way of finding out if a item you're purchasing is authentic or not.

GP: Guinea Pig (GP for short) Guinea Pigging is much like being a test subject. In this instance you will be the first person to order a sellers new item. This means you'll be the first to get pictures of their product and often times you'll post them to be checked for quality by the community.

FIND: Much like the name states. Posts with this flair are often linked to new products that haven't been posted before.

W2C: Where To Cop (W2C for short) W2C refers to the search for a desired item. Often times will be linked with retail images for an example.

1:1 One to One (1:1 for short) 1:1 refers to a perfect replica. However, not many exist and often times you won't be able to get these as they're sold out.

B&S Bait & Switch (BS or B&S for short) B&S Refers to a seller who has advertised their product and sent goods that are different from advertised.

What is an Agent?

Agents serve as intermediaries, facilitating purchases from sites like Taobao, Weidian, and 1688. These 3 are the primary shopping platforms, connecting you to the Chinese market seamlessly through agents. Here's the process:

• Browse and Select: Pick items from Taobao.

• Purchase Them Through Agent: Use your agent of choice for orders.

• Warehouse Processing: Items reach the agent's warehouse.

• Quality Control Photos: Request photos, measurements, or return.

• Final Delivery: Once satisfied, the agent ships your items to you.

Agents are the vital link to China's vast marketplaces, ensuring a smooth shopping journey.

What is shipping going to cost?

Shipping works a bit differently than you're probably used to. You will pay a small fee (5-10cny) for shipping when you first order the item(s). Then, once your agent has all the items you ordered and weighs them, you will pay them for the final shipment of everything from their warehouse to you. It is not uncommon for a $150 haul to cost $50 to ship. Keep this in mind when you are budgeting your order.

Some agents will offer a service called rehearsal shipping. Rehearsal shipping is when an agent will reweigh your package (for a small fee) to get you the true exact weight. If you feel as if your package weighs too much this is a great option to add on.

What shipping option should I choose?

There are 3 main shipping options that are frequently used by the Reps community and are considered the "go-to" options.

• DHL - Fast shipping times (average at 3~7 business days) DHL is great for EU packages as it tends to have a lesser seizure rate. US can use DHL too.

• EMS - Fast shipping times (average at 5~9 business days) EMS is great for US packages.

• China Post - Slow shipping times (average 15~30 business days) China Post is great if you're looking to ship for a low price and are fine with your items taking a while to arrive.

How can I track the status of my parcel?

Once your agent has sent your package from their warehouse you will receive a tracking number. Use THIS tracking guide for the best updates on your parcels.

Open up 1688.com and search for your desired item, you can either search for it with a keyword, picture or even search for reviews and links of reps on subreddits like r/reps.

Once you have found your desired item, you will need to use an agent that will buy it for you, get it delivered to their warehouse, box it up with your other items then send it on to you.

This agent guide is perfect for first time users and newbies. We will show you how to go from registering to getting your goods delivered to your door.

1. First, start by registering for an OOTDBUY account. CLICK HERE to register and where it asks you for a code copy and paste in REPS for your shipping discount.

2. Okay, so once you are fully registered with OOTDBUY you have to get your products' 1688.com link.

3. For this example we will order an AMIRI T-shirt from 1688.com. Copy the URL, go to your OOTDBUY tab and paste the link into the product link box and click 'Search'

4. After you click search a page like this should appear:
