The 5 Steps to Ordering from ACBuy
Create an Account & Activate Code ET5XHQ
Visit acbuy.com and sign up with your email. Verify that code ET5XHQ is in the invite code box. Once registered, navigate to your User Center > Coupon Center to confirm your ¥2,400 shipping vouchers are active.
Find Items on HypeFinds or Paste Direct Links
Browse our curated directory of 3,185+ finds on HypeFinds. When you click "Order via ACBuy" on any product page, it automatically generates the native ACBuy product link with your affiliate discount attached. Alternatively, paste any raw Weidian or Taobao URL into our Universal Link Converter.
Select Size/Color & Pay Factory Cost
On ACBuy's product page, choose your colorway and size (e.g. EU 43 for shoes or Size L for hoodies). Click "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart". At this stage, you only pay the domestic item price (usually $15–$50). Domestic shipping inside China takes 2–4 business days to reach ACBuy's logistics warehouse.
Inspect Free HD Warehouse QC Photos
When the factory delivery arrives, ACBuy's inspection team opens the box, inspects for physical flaws, checks sizing tags, and uploads 3–6 high-definition Quality Control (QC) photos to your account. You can review stitching, color accuracy, and shape. If anything looks off, click "Return/Exchange" within 5 days for a free swap.
Bundle Your Haul, Apply Coupons & Ship
Items can be stored in the warehouse for up to 90 days for free. Once you have 3–6 items stored, go to Warehouse > Submit Parcel. Select all your pieces, choose your preferred air mail route (e.g., DHL Tax-Free, KR-EMS, or FedEx), apply your ¥2,400 registration shipping coupons, and enter your home delivery address!
Pro Tips for ACBuy Users
- Remove Shoe Boxes: Choose the "Drop Shoebox" packaging option at checkout. This cuts package volumetric weight by 30% to 50%, saving you $20–$40 on shipping.
- Always Add Insurance: Check the "Parcel Insurance" box (around 3% of order cost). It covers customs seizure, lost parcels, and transit damage completely.
- Use Rehearsal Packaging: Before paying the shipping deposit, request "Rehearsal Packaging". Warehouse workers pre-box and weigh your haul so you pay the exact freight cost with zero overestimation.
