Do you actually need a shopping agent — and what should a good one do? Here's an honest look at the agent workflow versus buying direct, plus the checklist BBDbuy is built to meet.
Many Chinese sellers don't ship internationally, or make it slow and risky. An agent bridges that gap — here's the trade-off.
| Step | Buying direct | With BBDbuy |
|---|---|---|
| Seller ships abroad? | Often not, or limited | Ships to a China warehouse first |
| Multiple sellers | Separate parcels, high freight | Consolidated into one parcel |
| Check before it ships | Rarely possible | 3–5 QC photos to approve |
| Language & payment | Chinese checkout, local pay methods | English flow, international payment |
| Shipping choice | Whatever the seller offers | 150+ lines to compare |
