Print this and tape it above your desk. Every point below is a real mistake someone made on their first ACBUY order — including us, back in 2023. Work through it top-to-bottom before you press pay.
Before you place the order
- Register on acbuy.com to claim the welcome coupon.
- Open the acbuy spreadsheet and shortlist 5–8 items. Fewer = wasted shipping cost; more = QC overwhelm.
- Cross-check each shortlisted item in the acbuy qc finder. Confirm sample size >= 5 and no repeating defects.
- Weigh each item roughly. Shoes ~ 1 kg boxed, tees ~ 0.3 kg, watches ~ 0.4 kg. Total your expected shipping weight before you commit.
- Pick a shipping line from the shipping guide that matches your patience level and country.
While placing the order
- Paste seller URL exactly — no query trimming. ACBUY parses the SKU from the URL.
- Note size, colour, batch preference in the buyer notes. Don’t assume the agent reads your mind.
- Pay with PayPal on order one for the dispute rights.
After stock arrives at the warehouse
- Open the QC album within 48 h. ACBUY starts storage fees after 60 days idle.
- Reject aggressively — rejection is free pre-ship. This is where the acbuy sheet’s “return-free” promise actually saves you money.
- Combine ship with anything else in your warehouse for 20–35 % savings on cost per kg.
- Declare shipping value honestly. Under-declaration is where 90 % of customs issues start.
If something goes wrong
The single biggest ACBUY newbie mistake is silence. Reply to the agent within 24 h, always. Escalation buttons in the dashboard exist for a reason. And if you get truly stuck, the ACBUY guide homepage catalogues every escalation path we’ve tested.
You’re ready. Bookmark the acbuy spreadsheet, open a shortlist doc, and start with one shoe + one tee — small orders teach you the flow faster than any tutorial.
