Questo è il sito ufficiale Pikobuy?
No. Questa è una guida indipendente al foglio Pikobuy. Non è affiliata a Pikobuy, Taobao, Weidian o 1688.
FAQ del foglio Pikobuy
Risposte chiare per gli acquirenti tramite agente alla prima esperienza — dall'incolla al QC al secondo pagamento, oltre a cosa questo hub indipendente può e non può fare.
Answers for first-time Pikobuy spreadsheet shoppers — what this independent hub does, how two payments work, when to trust QC photos, and where Pikobuy support takes over.
Risposte rapide
Dove acquisto effettivamente gli articoli?
Sfoglia i ritrovamenti live, poi invia i link dei prodotti tramite l'agente Pikobuy per acquisto, QC e spedizione internazionale.
Perché ci sono due pagamenti?
Il primo pagamento copre il costo del prodotto. Il secondo copre la spedizione internazionale dopo che l'agente ha pesato e imballato il tuo pacco.
Cos'è il foglio Pikobuy?
Un elenco curato di link prodotti Taobao, Weidian e 1688 ordinati per categoria — una scorciatoia dalla scoperta agli articoli che vuoi far comprare all'agente.
Come uso le foto QC di Pikobuy?
Controlla le foto del magazzino prima di pagare il trasporto. Verifica colore, etichetta della taglia, difetti e confezione — è l'ultimo checkpoint pratico prima della spedizione internazionale.
Devo saper leggere il cinese per usare Pikobuy?
No. Incolla i link dei venditori in Pikobuy in inglese; l'agente gestisce il lato dell'acquisto in cinese.
How This FAQ Works With the Rest of the Hub
Pikobuy Spreadsheet Hub is a discovery and decision layer — curated Taobao, Weidian and 1688 rows, category guides, checklists and search ideas. It is not Pikobuy itself. When you paste a link, pay, request QC or ship, that happens inside your Pikobuy account.
This FAQ splits into layers on purpose. The core cards mirror the fastest answers. The sections below explain operational steps that do not fit one line — especially payment timing, QC workflow and when to stop browsing.
If a question involves refunds, account access, shipping line availability or a dispute on a specific order, contact Pikobuy support directly. This hub explains spreadsheet browsing habits; Pikobuy handles money and parcels.
- What this site does Curates spreadsheet rows, explains category checks, links to live listings and helps you decide paste-or-skip before you commit.
- What Pikobuy does Purchases from Chinese sellers, stores items at the warehouse, shoots QC photos, invoices international freight and hands off to carriers.
- Where to go next Use the checklist before saving a row, the shipping guide for weight context, and category hubs when you want QC cues for shoes, jackets or other types.
Two Payments Explained — Item Cost vs International Freight
Agent shopping on Pikobuy uses two separate payments by design. The first payment covers the product price plus the domestic leg from the Chinese seller to the Pikobuy warehouse. You pay this after submitting a link and confirming the listing variant — color, size SKU, quantity.
The second payment covers international shipping. Pikobuy weighs and measures your parcel after warehouse QC, consolidation and optional repacking. Only then can they quote lines by speed, cost and country restrictions. Treat the second invoice as the moment freight becomes real — not an optional add-on.
Spreadsheet browsing often highlights a low item price. That number can still make sense after freight, but only if you account for weight, box volume, declared value limits on your preferred line and whether you are combining multiple rows into one parcel.
- First payment timing Due when you approve the purchase request. Domestic seller shipping to the warehouse is included in this stage — not in the international quote later.
- Second payment timing Due after items arrive, pass QC (or you accept them), and Pikobuy finishes packing. You choose or confirm a shipping line before this invoice is paid.
- Why consolidation matters Multiple spreadsheet picks in one box usually share one international fee base, but combined weight and volume can push you into a higher bracket — compare totals, not per-item hype.
- Common surprise Shoes with retail boxes, heavy jackets and glass perfume bottles jump volume weight fast. Search shipping weight early; do not treat the first payment as the full haul cost.
QC Photos Workflow — Spreadsheet Preview vs Warehouse Checkpoint
QC photos are warehouse inspection shots taken after the seller delivers to Pikobuy — not seller marketing images on Taobao or Weidian. They are your last practical checkpoint inside China before you pay international freight.
Spreadsheet rows on this hub may show QC badge counts from community or featured warehouse shots. Those previews help you filter rows before you paste a link. They do not replace fresh QC on your actual order. Always request or review Pikobuy warehouse photos for the item you bought.
Use QC to verify colorway, size tag, obvious defects, packaging and category-specific details — stitching on sneakers, print alignment on tees, batch wording where sellers mention factory tiers. If something fails your standard, resolve it at warehouse stage: exchange, return to seller or abandon the line before shipping.
- Before first payment Check live listing photos, size charts and seller notes. Spreadsheet QC counts are a filter, not proof for your SKU.
- After warehouse arrival Open Pikobuy QC gallery, zoom defects, request extra angles if the default set is thin — side-by-side pairs for shoes, label close-ups for apparel.
- Before second payment Do not pay freight on items you would not keep locally. International returns are slow and expensive compared to fixing issues in China.
- What QC cannot do It does not certify authenticity, long-term durability or perfect batch ranking — it confirms what arrived matches what you ordered closely enough to ship or reject.
Order Timeline — From Spreadsheet Row to Your Door
A typical Pikobuy haul moves through predictable stages even when seller speed varies. Understanding the timeline helps you set expectations between first payment, warehouse arrival, QC review, consolidation and the second payment.
After you paste a spreadsheet link and pay the first invoice, Pikobuy purchases from the seller. Domestic transit to the warehouse usually takes several days — longer during sales or for made-to-order items. You track this inside Pikobuy, not on this hub.
Once the item arrives, warehouse staff photograph QC. You approve, exchange or return before international packing. Consolidation groups approved items into one parcel. Pikobuy quotes shipping lines; you pay the second invoice. Carrier transit time depends on the line you chose — express vs economy is a real trade-off, not just marketing.
- Browse & paste Use this hub to filter rows, open live listings, run the checklist, then submit the URL in Pikobuy.
- First payment → warehouse Seller ships domestically. Status updates live in your Pikobuy order panel.
- QC gate Review photos before approving freight. Fix size or defect issues here — not after the parcel leaves China.
- Second payment → delivery Choose a line, pay freight, track the carrier until delivery or customs clearance in your country.
Spreadsheet Row vs Live Listing — What Can Drift
Spreadsheet rows are snapshots for discovery. Live Taobao, Weidian and 1688 listings change price, coupons, SKUs, stock and even photos without this hub updating instantly. Treat every row as a starting point that still needs a live check before first payment.
Common drift includes sold-out variants, price jumps after a sale ends, seller swapping batch wording, or thumbnail photos that no longer match the active SKU. A dead link means the row is stale — search the category hub again rather than forcing an old URL.
QC badge counts on spreadsheet rows reflect photos seen on past orders or community submissions. Your order can still differ in color batch, packaging or minor defects. The live listing plus fresh warehouse QC is the source of truth for what you actually buy.
- Always open live listing Confirm variant, price and domestic shipping to the warehouse before approving Pikobuy purchase.
- Compare thumbnail to live gallery If the seller gallery changed, re-score the row on photos and sizing before paste.
- Stale row protocol Dead link or wrong SKU → drop the row, browse the same category lane for alternates.
Storage, Consolidation and First-Haul Mistakes
New buyers often treat the Pikobuy warehouse like unlimited cloud storage for every spreadsheet row they liked. Warehouse policies have limits; holding too many un-QC’d items creates decision fatigue and surprise freight totals when you finally consolidate.
Better habit: paste only rows that passed the checklist today, QC each arrival before saving more, and consolidate when you have a clear shipping plan — not when a random Reddit haul post pressures you. Group items that share similar weight class and line eligibility.
First-haul mistakes we see in community questions: paying freight before QC review, ignoring volumetric weight on shoe boxes, mixing restricted categories in one parcel, and assuming spreadsheet ¥ price equals landed cost. The shipping and checklist pages exist to prevent those patterns.
- Do not hoard maybes Unpaid warehouse items still tie up attention. Skip rows that failed photos or sizing — do not “store the temptation.”
- Consolidate with intent Combine QC-approved items you would ship together anyway; check combined weight against line limits.
- Start small First haul: one or two categories you understand — shoes OR jackets, not everything at once.
Support Boundaries — When to Use This Hub vs Pikobuy
This FAQ and the rest of Pikobuy Spreadsheet Hub explain independent research habits — not order-specific case management. We cannot see your account, change warehouse status, refund payments or confirm which shipping line Pikobuy will offer for your parcel tomorrow.
Contact Pikobuy support for login issues, payment failures, order cancellation windows, missing warehouse photos, customs holds on a tracked parcel and seller disputes after purchase. Use this hub before money moves: checklist, safety red flags, shipping weight estimates and category QC cues.
For legal limits on brand names, affiliate links and independence from Pikobuy, read the disclaimer and terms linked from the site footer. They complement this FAQ but do not replace Pikobuy’s own policies inside your account.
- Ask this hub “Should I save this row?” “What does QC count mean?” “How do I estimate shoe box weight?”
- Ask Pikobuy “Where is my order?” “Refund status?” “Why was my line unavailable?” “Extra QC photo request.”
- Ask neither for legal advice Import rules in your country are your responsibility — we explain habits, not customs law.
Altre domande
Money, timing and order changes
Operational questions after you paste a link — not spreadsheet browsing theory.
Can I cancel or change an order after the first payment?
Only while Pikobuy has not finished purchasing from the seller — timing varies by platform and seller speed. Open a ticket inside Pikobuy as early as possible. This spreadsheet hub cannot modify orders on your behalf.
How long between the first and second payment?
There is no fixed gap. It depends on seller ship speed, warehouse queue, how fast you review QC and whether you wait to consolidate more items. Budget days to weeks between payments — not minutes.
Are prices shown on spreadsheet rows guaranteed?
No. Listings change coupons, SKUs and stock daily. Always open the live Taobao, Weidian or 1688 page and confirm price, variant and shipping to the warehouse before you pay Pikobuy.
Does this FAQ cover refunds or payment disputes?
No. Refunds, chargebacks, account balances and order-specific disputes are handled by Pikobuy support and the seller platform rules. Use this hub for spreadsheet habits; use Pikobuy for money already spent.
Can I pay for multiple spreadsheet rows in one first payment?
Each paste becomes its own purchase flow inside Pikobuy. You may approve several first payments in one session, but they remain separate orders until consolidation groups them for the second payment.
What currencies does Pikobuy use?
MaisonLooks listing pages often show yuan (¥). This hub converts those catalog prices to approximate USD for browsing — confirm the live total inside Pikobuy before you pay.
What if Pikobuy says the seller is out of stock after I paid?
Follow Pikobuy’s out-of-stock workflow — refund to balance or pick an alternate SKU. Prevent this by confirming live stock before first payment; spreadsheet rows do not reserve inventory.
Can I use Pikobuy without this spreadsheet hub?
Yes. Pikobuy accepts any supported Taobao, Weidian or 1688 URL. This hub only speeds discovery with curated rows, QC cues and category guides — it is optional research, not a login requirement.
Photos, defects and warehouse rules
Warehouse-stage questions — after the seller delivers to Pikobuy, before international freight.
What if warehouse QC shows a wrong size or defect?
Use Pikobuy’s exchange or return workflow before you approve international shipping. Document the issue with QC screenshots. Spreadsheet rows do not override agent policies on seller disputes.
Why do spreadsheet QC counts differ from my order photos?
Badge counts reflect past community or featured shots — not a guarantee for your SKU, batch or colorway. Always review fresh warehouse QC on the item you bought.
Can I request extra QC angles?
Yes, through Pikobuy when the default set is thin — common for side-by-side sneaker pairs, logo close-ups or perfume batch codes. Request before approving freight, not after the parcel ships.
How long can items stay in the Pikobuy warehouse?
Free or extended storage policies change over time. Check Pikobuy’s current warehouse rules in your account before you treat rows as an unlimited shopping cart. Consolidate when you have a clear shipping plan.
Should I remove shoe boxes at the warehouse?
Box removal lowers volumetric weight on many lines but removes retail packaging some buyers want. Decide per haul before second payment — see the shipping guide for shoe box trade-offs.
What if QC looks fine but the item feels wrong in hand later?
Warehouse QC confirms what arrived vs what you ordered — not long-term durability or auth debates. That is why checklist and safety pages stress realistic expectations before first payment.
Lines, weight and consolidation
Second-payment questions — freight, lines and parcel strategy.
Should I consolidate every spreadsheet pick into one parcel?
Consolidation often lowers per-item freight, but combined weight, volume and declared value can affect line eligibility. Group items you are confident about after QC — not every row you ever liked.
How do I pick a shipping line on Pikobuy?
Balance speed, cost, weight limits and customs rules for your country. Heavier hauls may disqualify cheap lines. Read Pikobuy’s line descriptions at the second payment step — not just the lowest dollar amount.
What is volumetric weight and why does it matter?
Carriers bill on the greater of scale weight or volume-based weight (length × width × height ÷ divisor). Bulky shoe boxes and jackets often trigger volumetric charges even when the scale feels light.
Can I split one haul into multiple outbound parcels?
Often yes inside Pikobuy when lines or weight limits require it — but each parcel may have its own base fee. Compare total landed cost vs one consolidated box on the shipping guide before you pay.
Who handles customs and import fees?
You do, as the importer in your country. Pikobuy hands off to carriers; duties, VAT or brokerage may arrive separately depending on line and local rules. This hub does not quote customs outcomes.
Why did my cheap line disappear at checkout?
Lines drop when weight, dimensions, category restrictions or destination rules change. Combined perfume, batteries or oversized boxes commonly disqualify economy routes — recheck the shipping guide category notes.
Links, updates and what we do not promise
Questions about this independent site — not Pikobuy account settings.
What if a spreadsheet link is dead or out of stock?
Treat it as a stale row — search the hub category again or look for alternate seller links on the same product. This site curates discovery; it does not hold inventory or restock listings.
How often is the spreadsheet updated?
Category hubs and featured rows refresh on an editorial schedule — not in real time with every seller change. Always verify live listings before payment; same-day price or stock shifts are normal on Chinese marketplaces.
Are brand names on this site official?
No. Brand names help search clarity only. This hub is not affiliated with Nike, Jordan, Pikobuy or Chinese sellers — see disclaimer for full legal wording.
Can this hub paste links into Pikobuy for me?
No. You copy seller URLs yourself inside Pikobuy. We only link you to listings and explain how to evaluate them before paste.
Why does this FAQ disagree with something on Reddit or Discord?
Community posts mix haul hype with outdated policies. This hub tracks stable spreadsheet habits; Pikobuy account rules and shipping lines change — confirm critical money steps inside Pikobuy.
Where do I report a broken hub link or wrong category row?
Use the site contact page. We fix curation errors when reported — but order issues still go to Pikobuy support, not this contact form.
