By the end, you will be confident in navigating the spreadsheet and making your first purchase.
Step 1: Understanding the Spreadsheet
The oopbuy spreadsheet is a curated document containing product links, seller names, prices, and ratings. Each row represents a product, with columns for category, price, seller, trust score, and notes. Familiarize yourself with the column headers before you start browsing.
Step 2: Finding Products
Use Filters
Filter by category, price range, or seller to narrow your search.
Check Ratings
Look for items with high trust scores and positive community notes.
Preview Items
Click product links to view photos, reviews, and detailed specs.
Step 3: Placing Your First Order
- 1Copy the product link from the spreadsheet.
- 2Paste the link into the oopbuy order form.
- 3Select your size, color, and quantity.
- 4Choose QC photo option if available.
- 5Submit the order and wait for confirmation.
Step 4: Understanding Shipping
After your item arrives at the warehouse and passes QC, you will choose a shipping line. EMS is the most popular for beginners, offering a good balance of cost and speed. DHL is faster but more expensive. Check our Shipping Comparison guide for detailed breakdowns.
Step 5: Tracking and Receiving
Once shipped, you will receive a tracking number. Use the courier's website or a universal tracker like 17track.net to monitor your package. Delivery times vary by country and shipping line, so check our country-specific guides for accurate estimates.
