How to Use SuperBuy Spreadsheet — A Beginner's Step-by-Step Tutorial
New to SuperBuy? This beginner-friendly guide walks you through the SuperBuy spreadsheet from category selection to placing your first order, with tips on QC, shipping, and avoiding newbie mistakes.
Welcome to SuperBuy — Here's What You Need to Know First
SuperBuy is a shopping agent, not a direct retailer. Think of it as your personal shopper based in China who buys items on your behalf, inspects them, and ships them internationally. The SuperBuy spreadsheet is your pre-browsing tool — it organizes the overwhelming 10k+ product catalog into 11 manageable categories and gives you the information you need before you start shopping. This guide is written for absolute beginners. By the end, you'll understand exactly how to go from 'I want to buy something' to 'my package arrived.'
Step 1: Pick Your Category Using the Spreadsheet
Start on this site's category pages. Browse the 11 categories — Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear/Underpants, Jersey, Accessories, and Others. Each category page explains what types of products are typically available, what sizing issues to watch for, material considerations, and common QC checkpoints. Don't skip this step. Spending 5 minutes reading a category guide can save you from ordering the wrong size, wrong material, or a product that looks nothing like the listing photo.
Step 2: Understand Sizing Before You Order
Sizing is the number one pain point for new SuperBuy users. Most listings use Asian sizing, which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US sizing. An Asian XL might fit like a US Medium. Never rely on the letter size alone — always check the measurement chart in the listing. Better yet, measure a similar item you already own and compare those numbers. Key measurements for clothing: chest width (measure across, double it), length (shoulder to hem), and sleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff). For shoes, check the insole length in centimeters.
Step 3: Place Your Order and Wait for QC Photos
Once you've picked your items and verified sizing, click through to the full catalog to browse and order. SuperBuy purchases the item from the seller and it arrives at their warehouse, usually within 3-7 days. You'll then receive QC photos — this is your inspection window. Check the photos carefully: does the size tag match what you ordered? Are there any visible defects? Does the color match the listing? If everything looks good, confirm and move to shipping. If something's wrong, you can request a return (seller policy permitting).
Step 4: Choose Your Shipping Method
After confirming your items, they move to the shipping phase. SuperBuy will show you available carriers and prices. For beginners, EMS is the recommended starting point — reliable, moderately priced, and 7-15 day delivery to the US. DHL and FedEx are faster but more expensive. Sea freight is cheapest but takes 30-60 days and is only practical for large hauls. Before shipping, check for SuperBuy discount codes on Reddit — even 5% off shipping adds up on larger hauls. Once shipped, you'll get a tracking number to monitor your package's journey.
