Frequently asked questions about Litbuy
What is the Rehearsal Parcel feature and what does it cost?
Rehearsal Parcel is a packing preview: the warehouse arranges your selected items, weighs and measures the box, and returns the proposed layout and freight quote before you pay for shipment. You can adjust the item selection, repacking notes or shipping line, then submit the real waybill once satisfied. The preview itself is a free planning tool.
How do LitBuy shipping coupons stack and what is the sign-up bonus?
Coupons on the homepage list both the discount value and the minimum freight required, for example 15.7 OFF on freight above 81.64 or 98.16 OFF on freight above 817.84. New users get a sign-up bonus advertised as up to 30 percent off all shipping lines, and additional coupons are earned through the Affiliate spin wheel by registering invitees and signing waybills.
What is the difference between an Agent Order and a Forwarding Order?
An Agent Order is for items from Taobao, Weidian or 1688: LitBuy pays the seller on your behalf, the parcel arrives at the warehouse, and you ship from there. A Forwarding Order is for parcels you bought elsewhere yourself and forwarded to the LitBuy warehouse address; the agent only handles QC, repacking and international shipment for those.
How long is free storage and what happens after the limit?
Free storage is up to 60 days from arrival at the warehouse. After about 48 hours of inactivity you receive a reminder asking to submit the parcel to lock in current rates and remain eligible for shipping and total-cost discounts. Once free storage expires the parcel is subject to standard daily storage fees, so combining shipments early is recommended.
How does Combined Payment work for multi-item orders?
Combined Payment lets the buyer pay several individual agent orders in a single checkout, sharing one payment fee instead of paying each order separately. The Combined Payment Rules page lists which order statuses are eligible to merge and how refunds are split if one of the merged orders is cancelled.
How is the LitBuy Insurance applied to a shipment?
LitBuy Insurance is opt-in at waybill submission and is calculated as a percentage of declared value. The Insurance Rules page describes the maximum reimbursable value per parcel, exclusions for prohibited or restricted items, the required photo evidence for claims, and the timeline for filing after delivery.
How can I track my LitBuy spending across orders?
Open the Monthly Consumption Report inside the dashboard: it aggregates agent order spend, domestic shipping, international freight, coupons used and refunds for each calendar month. The report can be filtered by month range so total-cost-per-haul analysis does not require manual spreadsheet work.
What does the LitBuy Extension do?
The LitBuy Extension is a browser add-on that overlays a Submit to LitBuy button on Taobao, Weidian and 1688 product pages. Clicking it copies the SKU options, image and price directly into the agent order form so the buyer does not have to paste the URL manually, and it carries the user invitation code on every capture.
More about Litbuy
Lit Line, the LitBuy proprietary shipping route
Lit Line is the in-house route operated by LitBuy alongside the mainstream EMS, DHL and tax-paid options. The Lit Line Next Stop event periodically expands coverage to a new destination country with a launch discount window: during the event window the line shows a reduced per-kg price for the announced corridor, and the homepage stacks shipping coupons such as 19.63 OFF on freight above 163.44 or 39.26 OFF on freight above 327.04. Combined with the sign-up bonus advertised as up to 30 percent off all lines, repeat buyers tend to default to Lit Line for the announced corridor of the month. Rehearsal Parcel, a packing preview before real shipment Rehearsal Parcel is one of the differentiating workflows on LitBuy. Instead of confirming a waybill and only discovering the final box weight after payment, the buyer submits a Rehearsal Parcel request: the warehouse team arranges the selected items, weighs and measures the proposed box, and returns photos plus an estimated freight quote. The buyer can then drop items, change shipping line, request additional padding or repacking, and only then submit the real waybill. The flow is documented under How to Submit Rehearsal Parcel and How to Use Rehearsal Parcel in the LitBuy notice center. Agent Order versus Forwarding Order on a single account A single LitBuy account handles two parallel order types. Agent Orders are placed for Taobao, Weidian and 1688 items: the user pays product price plus domestic shipping in the LitBuy panel, the agent buys on their behalf, and the parcel lands in the Guangzhou warehouse. Forwarding Orders cover parcels the buyer already purchased elsewhere and shipped to the LitBuy warehouse address; for those LitBuy only provides QC inspection, repacking, storage and international forwarding. The Differences between Agent Order and Forwarding Order article in the Help Center lists which fees apply to each flow and which features such as Combined Payment or Custom QC Photo are available per type. QC photos, Custom QC Photo and request flow Every agent order receives free standard QC photos taken at arrival: front, back and any obvious defects are uploaded to the order detail page in the dashboard. If a buyer needs more detail, for example the inside lining of an apparel item or the sole texture on a shoe, a Custom QC Photo can be requested from the order page; the warehouse confirms feasibility, the per-item fee is disclosed at submission, and additional photos are added to the same order record. Photos remain attached to the order so they can be used as evidence for refunds, exchanges or insurance claims later. Coupons, affiliate spin wheel and shipping discounts The homepage displays a stack of active shipping coupons, each pinned to a minimum freight threshold so the discount is only deducted once the order qualifies, for example 15.7 OFF requires freight above 81.64 and 98.16 OFF requires freight above 817.84. New users see a sign-up banner advertising up to 30 percent off all shipping lines as their joining bonus. Beyond coupons, the Affiliate program runs a spin wheel: entering an invitation code grants one spin, and every signed waybill grants one additional spin with no upper limit. The Affiliate Promotion Service Agreement page documents the commission tiers earned when invited friends place orders. Monthly Consumption Report and dashboard cost tracking Track Your LITBUY Spending with Monthly Consumption Reports is a built-in dashboard tool that aggregates spending data per calendar month. It groups agent order spend, domestic shipping, international freight, coupon savings and refunds into a single table per month so total cost per haul can be reviewed without exporting to a spreadsheet. The report works alongside the standard order list, the parcel list and the coupon page; insurance claims, prohibited items policy, refund terms and the LITBUY User Privacy Policy are linked from the same notice center for quick reference.
