What Is OKEYHAUL?

OKEYHAUL is an agent-based shopping service that helps international buyers purchase from Chinese marketplaces such as Taobao, Weidian, 1688, and Tmall. This English CAFANS guide walks you through the entire process — from building your first OKEYHAUL spreadsheet to receiving your parcel — so you can shop with confidence and avoid common pitfalls.

Step 1: Build Your OKEYHAUL Spreadsheet

Every good haul starts with an OKEYHAUL spreadsheet. A spreadsheet (often called a "sheet" in the community) is a shared document listing product links, sizes, colors, quantities, and notes. Open your OKEYHAUL guide, create columns for item name, product link, size, color, quantity, and price, then paste links from your favorite marketplaces. Many users also add columns for QC notes and parcel numbers. This OKEYHAUL shopping guide recommends double-checking each link before submission, because dead links delay the whole order.

Step 2: Register and Top Up Your Balance

Create an account, verify your email, and top up your wallet using the supported payment methods. Your balance covers product costs, domestic shipping, service fees, and international freight. Check the exchange rate regularly; topping up at a good rate saves money across a large haul. Users often compare agent fees per item and per order. A service fee, a domestic shipping fee, and a payment processing fee are typical line items.

Step 3: Submit OKEYHAUL Product Links

Paste your OKEYHAUL product links into the order form. For each item, specify size, color, quantity, and any seller notes. If a seller offers multiple variations, be precise — agents buy exactly what you enter. For risky or size-sensitive items, add a note asking for measurements. Sellers sometimes cancel orders or ship slowly; your agent will notify you. Keep your OKEYHAUL spreadsheet updated with order IDs so you can cross-reference purchases later.

Step 4: Quality Control (QC) and Warehouse Storage

When items arrive at the warehouse, the agent photographs them. Review QC photos carefully: check stitching, logos, tags, measurements, and defects. Request extra photos or a measurement check if something looks off. Most warehouses offer free storage for a limited period (often 90–180 days), so you can combine many orders into one parcel. Beware of storage fees after the free period. This OKEYHAUL guide suggests grouping items by weight and destination to reduce freight.

Step 5: Consolidation and Shipping

Once all items are in the warehouse, select the items you want to ship and submit a parcel request. Choose a shipping line based on speed, cost, and destination restrictions. Lines differ in weight limits, battery restrictions, and customs handling. Declare values honestly and follow local import rules; undervaluing parcels is risky. Add insurance for expensive items, and ask for corner protection or waterproof wrapping if needed. Tracking updates appear in your dashboard.

Step 6: Customs and Delivery

International parcels may pass through customs. Keep an eye on tracking, respond promptly to any customs requests, and pay duties if applicable. Delivery times vary by line and season; holidays and sales events cause delays. Save tracking numbers and QC photos until your parcel arrives, in case you need to open a dispute.
