CSSBuy Spreadsheet Guide: Two-Payment QC and Shipping
CSSBuy is a Chinese shopping agent used by Kakobuy Reps readers to buy from Taobao, 1688 and similar marketplaces. Its workflow separates purchasing from international dispatch: the first payment covers the item and China domestic delivery, then warehouse QC photos, consolidation, route selection and a final international freight charge based on the packed parcel. The fee figures below reflect the September 2026 agent data and can change.
CSSBuy suits spreadsheet buyers who want product purchasing and international dispatch kept as two separate decisions: pay for the item and domestic delivery first, review warehouse QC, then choose a route and pay international freight on the final packed parcel.

About Cssbuy
CSSBuy is a Chinese shopping-agent service that handles purchase assistance, warehouse receipt, QC information, parcel consolidation and international dispatch. Its official footer identifies ROYA MIDEAST LTD (UK company number 16048743) as the listed company. The defining feature of its workflow is that purchasing and international shipping are handled separately. You first pay for the item and China domestic delivery. Once the goods reach the warehouse, you can review QC photos, consolidate parcels and pick a route; international freight is then assessed from the final packed parcel's actual weight and volume. For storage, CSSBuy lists 90 free days for regular goods and 30 free days for sensitive goods. Its order flow lists 3–5 free QC photos. A 2025 user haul report described two shipments arriving in 11 and 17 days with good packaging and responsive support, but that is one customer's experience rather than a guarantee of delivery, customs handling or service quality.
- What works well
Two-stage payment: buy the item first, then pay international shipping only after packing
90 free storage days for regular goods and 30 for sensitive goods
3–5 free QC photos in the current order flow
Expert Buy option for source links that cannot be parsed automatically
Wide payment support: PayPal, cards, Alipay, WeChat Pay, iDEAL and Wise
- What to check
International freight is not final until the parcel is packed, so the first payment is not your landed cost
QC photos confirm visible order details only — they do not authenticate a product or prove material quality
Storage limits (90 days regular, 30 days sensitive) mean a slow decision can become a paid one
Service fee, exchange rate and route pricing are dated September 2026 and may change
Route availability, timing and insurance terms vary by destination and must be checked per parcel
What CSSBuy does
CSSBuy can assist with purchases from Chinese marketplaces, receive goods at its warehouse, provide QC information, consolidate parcels and arrange international dispatch. It is one option among many agents that fulfil the same spreadsheet links, so the practical comparison is warehouse handling, route pricing and support responsiveness rather than exclusive access to products. Always verify the original source link, product options and seller details before placing an order.
Why the two-payment flow matters
The first payment covers the item and China domestic delivery. International freight is not final until your items have arrived, been consolidated and packed, so you can review the warehouse stage before deciding how to ship. In our ordering walkthrough this was the useful part of the model: a wrong size, a colour mismatch or an out-of-stock item can be caught before you commit money to a cross-border route.
What you actually pay
Product price + China domestic delivery + service fee 6.30 + international shipping. International shipping depends on the packed parcel, selected route, destination, weight and volume, and it is usually the largest single line. Budget separately for any import duties or brokerage your destination applies, because those charges sit outside the agent's quote and are assessed on arrival.
Shipping starts after warehouse confirmation
After QC, choose the items to keep, create a parcel and compare the routes available for your destination. The final international charge is based on the packed parcel rather than an estimate made before warehouse receipt, so a quote taken at purchase time is only a planning figure. Insurance, restricted-item rules and transit times are route-specific; read the terms shown for your own parcel rather than another buyer's report.
Spreadsheet checklist before you pay
Use the spreadsheet to reach the original item page, then verify the seller, selected colour or version, size, price and any purchase restrictions. If a link needs manual handling, use CSSBuy's Expert Buy option and include clear notes. QC photos help confirm visible order details such as quantity, colour, size and obvious damage, but they are not an authenticity guarantee.
How to use Cssbuy
Step 1 — Verify the original link
Open the original marketplace page from a trusted spreadsheet entry. Check the seller, selected options, price, size information and any purchase restrictions. If the link cannot be handled automatically, use Expert Buy and include precise product details and notes.
Step 2 — Pay for the item and domestic delivery
Submit the selected item, variants and quantity. The first payment covers the product and its China domestic delivery. Keep a record of the original listing and the options you requested so they can be checked again at warehouse receipt.
Step 3 — Review warehouse QC and act promptly
When the goods arrive, compare the available QC photos with your chosen options. Check visible style, quantity, colour, size, model and obvious damage. QC photos cannot authenticate a product; contact CSSBuy promptly if an order needs review or a return request.
Step 4 — Consolidate and pay international shipping
Keep the items you approve, create a parcel and compare the routes available for your destination. CSSBuy calculates the international stage after packing, using the final parcel's weight, volume and chosen route. Review any insurance terms shown for that parcel before dispatch.
Shopping-agent guide
Use a CSSBuy spreadsheet entry to reach the original product page, not as a substitute for checking it. Confirm the seller, exact colour or version, size, price and purchase conditions before you create an order. CSSBuy's workflow is best handled in two stages: purchase first, then review warehouse QC and decide on international shipping only after packing. Treat the service fee as a fixed line item but the freight as an estimate until the parcel exists, and act inside the storage window so a return or exchange is still possible.
Frequently asked
Where should I get a CSSBuy spreadsheet?
Use a spreadsheet or curated list you trust as a starting point, then open every original product link. Confirm the seller, selected options, price and restrictions on the marketplace page before ordering, since the spreadsheet only points you to a listing.
Why are there two payments, and what should I budget for?
The first payment covers the item and China domestic delivery. After warehouse receipt and packing, international shipping is calculated for the final parcel. The agent data lists a 6.30 service fee and 6.68 exchange rate as of September 2026; freight stays parcel- and destination-specific.
How do storage, returns and after-sales work?
Raise a warehouse issue as soon as it is visible, with order details and QC context. Return eligibility depends on the seller, item condition and time limit. CSSBuy lists 90 free days for regular goods and 30 for sensitive goods, so decide well before storage runs out.
