Ordering from MuleBuy (China agent) — step-by-step

1) Find items on MuleBuy

  • Search for products on MuleBuy.
  • The speaker recommends checking the quality/price ratio first (and suggests checking his own site first).
  • If you can’t find something, check these Reddit communities:
    • Wadian Warriors 1688 Raps
    • Rap Sneaker Dogs
    • Designer Raps
    • Quality Raps
  • Avoid “Special Waps” (claimed to sponsor resellers rather than factories).
  • To detect low-quality / reseller issues:
    • Read the comments inside the product articles (possible warning signs about quality).

2) Use translation if needed

  • If you don’t know English:
    • Right-click → translate to Italian.
  • If anything is unclear:
    • Ask GPT/ChatGPT.

3) Add products to cart (sizes + options)

  • Choose the product color/variant.
  • Some items also require selecting a batch, described as the factory/quality origin.

Size rules mentioned

  • Jeans/pants (American sizing):
    • Add +14 to convert Italian size → American size.
    • Example: Italian 48 → select 34 because 34 + 14 = 48.
  • If the item uses S/M/L sizing starting at S:
    • Select the same size as your Italian size.
    • Example: Italian L → select L.
  • If the item starts at M instead of S (speaker’s mapping):
    • Chinese M ≈ Italian S
    • Chinese L ≈ Italian M
    • Chinese XL ≈ Italian L
    • (and so on)
  • Extreme example (from reviews):
    • For a leather jacket, a review suggested up 2–3 sizes; the speaker chose Triple XL.

Use the cart remark/message

  • In the “remark” field, leave instructions for the agent.
  • For shoes with batch selection:
    • Write your EU size in the remark (e.g., “EU 45”).

4) Payment method (PayPal + account top-up)

  • Set language/currency appropriately (speaker mentions USD and English).
  • Before paying:
    • Go to Wallet → Top up your MuleBuy balance.
    • Example flow:
      • Top up a bit more than needed (e.g., pay ~€80, top up €90).
      • Pay for the top-up with PayPal (small fee mentioned).
  • Then return to cart and submit the order.

5) Order status timeline (after you pay)

After submission, statuses update:

  • Order Pending
  • Purchase Chased (agent buys from seller in China; waiting to ship to MuleBuy warehouse)
  • Shipped (seller shipped to MuleBuy warehouse)
  • Stored (arrived at warehouse)

At Stored:

  • You get quality check images.
  • If quality is not acceptable:
    • Contact the agent for refund or replacement.

6) Shipping from MuleBuy warehouse (second payment)

  • Go to Warehouse to select what you want to ship.

Warehouse expiration rule

  • Items stored over ~90 days expire and can’t be shipped.
  • Example: if an item isn’t selectable, it may be expired.

Estimate weight and control cost

  • The site shows an estimated package weight (e.g., “estimated 12kg”).
  • Weight accuracy affects pricing:
    • If actual weight is less, you get refunded extra.
    • If actual weight is more, they’ll request more payment.
  • Options to improve accuracy:
    • Pay for rehearsal / precise estimate (small fee) to ship with a better exact weight.

7) Special handling for shoes (reducing cost / protecting shape)

In Value Added Service, you can choose:

  • Remove packaging (box) to reduce shipping weight/cost.
  • Fold/packaging folding (“folding shox”)
    • Shoebox is kept, but folded to save space.
    • Surcharge mentioned: ~€5.
  • Sho/rod
    • Add a metal rod inside shoes to prevent deformation.
    • Speaker says shoes usually keep shape unless shipped without box.

8) Additional package services (select carefully)

The speaker highlights:

  • Reinforcement on the package
  • Waterproof membrane
  • Vacuum “vaing” (vacuum removing air from clothes)
    • Recommended only for non-shoe shipments, since shoes can be ruined.

9) Choose shipping line (avoid slow/undesirable options)

In Select Shipping Line, choose based on speed and customs handling:

  • Avoid a “junk”/slow option (speaker says it takes too long).
  • IMS:
    • Mentioned as acceptable, but you may pay customs on arrival.
  • EMS with iOSS:
    • Preferred by the speaker because it avoids paying customs duty (iOSS described as “tax free”).
  • DHL:
    • Speaker’s “safe” choice for arrival time (~10–15 days).
    • Pick the cheapest DHL line shown.

10) Customs declaration (declared value strategy)

Two approaches:

  • Let the system declare automatically, or
  • Custom declare (speaker recommends custom).

Declared value target:

  • Must sum to about “21” (speaker mentions needing it to equal 21 or 21 with certain decimals).

Speaker’s example method:

  • Reduce each item’s declared price (even down to €1 per item for some categories) so the total reaches the required target.

Shipping insurance:

  • Mentioned as free and automatically added.

11) Coupons + final checkout

  • After registration (speaker points to tiagofindes.com), coupons may appear.
  • Confirm declaration → submit the order/payment process.

12) After order is sent

  • The package entry shows:
    • A created report (example date/time mentioned)
    • Full report + personalized declaration
  • Final step: ship the package and then wait for delivery.
