Quick Insights
What is the SnapSpreadsheet Ecosystem? +
SnapSpreadsheet is a dual-layer solution. First, it is a massive, curated database of over 5,000 products from the Chinese domestic market. Second, it is integrated with our professional “Reverse Purchasing” service. We act as your legal agent in China to purchase, inspect (QC), and consolidate these items, ensuring you receive authentic quality without the risks of direct cross-border dealing.
Why use an agent instead of buying direct? +
Direct platforms like Taobao or Weidian are designed for domestic Chinese users. They often require Chinese identification for payment, do not offer international shipping, and provide no recourse for defects once the item leaves China. Our service bridges this gap. We handle the currency exchange, communicate with sellers in Mandarin, perform rigorous physical quality checks, and consolidate multiple orders into one shipment to save you up to 40% on logistics costs.

Unlocking the Chinese Market: A Professional’s Guide
For the past decade, the global perception of “Made in China” has shifted dramatically from mass production to high-end manufacturing. However, for international buyers in Europe and the Americas, accessing the true depth of this market—specifically platforms like Weidian, Taobao, and 1688—has remained an elusive challenge. The language barriers, restricted payment gateways (requiring Alipay or WeChat Pay), and complex logistics networks create a “Great Wall” around these digital marketplaces.
At SnapSpreadsheet, we don’t just provide links; we provide access. We operate as a reverse sourcing agency, a model that prioritizes the buyer’s interest over the seller’s. Unlike traditional dropshipping where quality is a gamble, our model relies on physical interception, inspection, and consolidation.
💡 Expert Knowledge: What is “Reverse Sourcing”?
Traditional sourcing involves a factory trying to sell to you. Reverse Sourcing starts with your demand. You identify the exact product you want from the domestic Chinese market (often using our Spreadsheet), and we work backward to procure it. We act as your legal entity in China to execute the purchase, effectively “reversing” the flow of trade barriers. This allows you to access domestic pricing (which is often 50-70% lower than export pricing) while maintaining international service standards.
The Risks of Direct Buying vs. The Security of Agent Services
Many new users attempt to navigate Taobao or Weidian independently using browser translators. While this shows initiative, it exposes the buyer to significant financial and quality risks. Without a verified agent, you have no leverage if a seller ships a defective item, the wrong size, or nothing at all.
Mastering the Platforms: Where Do We Source?
Our SnapSpreadsheet aggregates the best products from China’s “Big Three” alternative marketplaces. Understanding the difference between them helps you make better buying decisions.
Taobao (淘宝)
The Amazon of China. Taobao is the world’s biggest e-commerce site. It is best for niche fashion, unique streetwear, and finding specific “grail” items. While prices are slightly higher than wholesale, the variety is unmatched.
Weidian (微店)
The Indie Marketplace. Weidian is a mobile-first platform where many high-tier factories and independent sellers operate to avoid Taobao’s fees. This is the “gold mine” for high-quality sneakers and streetwear replicas.
1688.com
The Domestic Alibaba. This is a B2B wholesale site. Prices here are the absolute lowest (often 40% cheaper than Taobao), but sellers usually require minimum order quantities (MOQ). Our agency service allows us to negotiate single-item purchases on your behalf.
The Process: From Spreadsheet to Doorstep
Transparency is the cornerstone of trust. Here is the exact lifecycle of your order when you use SnapSpreadsheet and our agency service.
Discovery & Order Placement
Browse our SnapSpreadsheet. When you find an item, copy the link. Paste it into our agent search bar on Cnsnap.com. Select your size and specifications (color, batch version) and pay for the item cost.
Procurement & Domestic Shipping
Our team in Shanghai receives your order. We contact the seller, verify stock, and pay them. The seller ships the item to our dedicated warehouse. This usually takes 3 to 5 days.
Quality Control (QC) Inspection
Crucial Step: Upon arrival, we open the package. We take 5-10 high-resolution photos (measuring tapes included for size verification). We upload these to your dashboard. You have 72 hours to approve the item or request a return/exchange if you spot a flaw.
Global Logistics & Delivery
Once you approve your items, you select a shipping line (DHL, EMS, Fedex, or Tax-Free Lines). We repackage your goods, removing unnecessary shoe boxes to reduce volumetric weight if desired, and ship it to your country. You receive a tracking number to follow the journey.
Category Sourcing Guides: Expert Tips
👟 Sourcing Sneakers: Understanding “Batches”
In the world of reverse sourcing, not all factories are equal. You will often see terms like “LJR,” “PK,” or “M Batch” in our spreadsheet. These refer to specific factory batches known for specializing in certain models.
- LJR Batch: Widely considered the gold standard for Jordan 1s and 4s due to their leather quality and shape accuracy.
- PK Batch: Famous for Dunk Lows and Yeezy models, offering the softest Primeknit materials.
- M Batch: The current market leader for Nike Dunks, offering near-perfect stitching and color accuracy.
🧥 Sourcing Apparel: The Size Dilemma
The #1 mistake international buyers make is assuming Chinese sizes match US/EU sizes. They rarely do. An “XL” in China might fit like a US “Medium.”
⚠️ Pro Tip: How to Measure
Never rely on “S/M/L” tags. Always look at the Size Chart (尺码表) provided in our spreadsheet links.
1. Chest/Bust (胸围): Measure a hoodie you currently own that fits well, pit-to-pit, and multiply by 2. Compare this cm number to the chart.
2. Length (衣长): Measure from the shoulder seam to the bottom hem.
3. Shoulder (肩宽): Vital for jackets. Measure seam to seam across the back.
Logistics: Choosing the Right Line
Shipping is the most complex part of cross-border e-commerce. We offer various lines tailored to different needs.
- 🚀 DHL / FedEx / UPS: The fastest option (3-7 days). Best for urgent items, but expensive. They use “Volumetric Weight” (Size matters more than weight).
- 🛡️ Tax-Free / Triangle Shipping: Highly recommended for Europe (Germany, France, Netherlands, etc.). The package is shipped to a clearing hub (like Amsterdam) first to handle customs, then forwarded to you. This drastically reduces seizure risk and import duties.
- 📦 EMS / E-EMS: The standard postal route. Slower (10-25 days) but calculates shipping based on actual weight, making it cheaper for dense items like clothes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often is the SnapSpreadsheet updated? +
We pride ourselves on data accuracy. Our sourcing team updates the spreadsheet daily. We constantly verify links to ensure products are in stock and add new “finds” based on current fashion trends and community requests.
What happens if my item arrives at your warehouse damaged? +
This is exactly why you use our service. If our QC team detects a defect (stains, tears, wrong size) during inspection, we notify you immediately via your dashboard. We then handle the return or exchange process with the Chinese seller on your behalf, free of charge. You never pay for international shipping on a defective item.
Can you ship “branded” items to my country? +
Yes, we specialize in logistics solutions for all types of goods. For branded items, we recommend specific “Tax-Free” or “Preferential” shipping lines that are optimized for customs clearance in the US, UK, and EU. Our system will automatically suggest the safest shipping route based on the contents of your cart.
How do I calculate the shipping cost? +
International shipping is based on weight and volume. Generally, the first 500g is the most expensive, and subsequent weight is cheaper. We offer a “Shipping Estimator” tool on Cnsnap.com. Pro tip: Consolidating multiple items (e.g., a pair of shoes, two hoodies, and a bag) into one parcel significantly lowers the cost-per-item compared to shipping them individually.
Are you affiliated with the brands listed? +
No. SnapSpreadsheet and CNSNAP are independent third-party purchasing agents. We do not manufacture goods nor are we affiliated with any brands like Nike, Gucci, or others listed. We simply facilitate the purchase and logistics of items you identify from third-party sellers on open marketplaces in China.
