Asdbuy Spreadsheet answers
Short, beginner-friendly answers to the questions people ask most about using the Asdbuy shopping agent with a spreadsheet. When a fact can change — fees, tax, shipping lines — we say so and point you to the official site to confirm.
No. A spreadsheet — hosted on W2CSpreadsheet — is just an organised list of finds with pictures and product links you can browse. Asdbuy is the separate shopping agent that actually buys an item, receives it in its warehouse, checks it, and forwards it to you. You do the finding on the spreadsheet, then move the link into Asdbuy to place the order.
Asdbuy is a China-based shopping agent and parcel forwarder, operated by Huayunji Trading Ltd in Hong Kong. As an agent, it buys items for you from Chinese marketplaces that usually will not check out to an overseas card. As a forwarder, it can also receive parcels you bought yourself, consolidate them, and ship them abroad. One account covers both jobs.
Yes. Xianyu (闲鱼) is one of the marketplaces Asdbuy supports, alongside Taobao, 1688 and Weidian. Xianyu is second-hand, so listings come from individual sellers and condition can vary a lot. Read the description closely, ask for extra photos, and confirm the item is still available on the official site before you order.
Alongside normal text search, Asdbuy offers image (photo) search. You upload a picture of something you like and it tries to find matching or similar listings across its marketplaces. It is a handy way to track down an item when all you have is a screenshot, but always double-check the seller, price and details on the listing before you order.
Buying — the buy-for-me flow — is when you give Asdbuy a product link and it purchases the item from the Chinese seller for you. Transshipment, or forwarding, is when you already bought something yourself to a China address and Asdbuy simply receives, consolidates and ships those parcels abroad. Use buying when you only have a link; use transshipment when the order already exists.
No. Asdbuy's warehouse (QC) photos are a visual check. They can confirm the right item arrived, show the colour and size tag, and flag obvious defects or a wrong item. They cannot certify brand authenticity, materials or long-term durability. Treat a grade check as a helpful look before shipping, not a lab test or a guarantee.
Asdbuy supports topping up a wallet balance and paying by international credit card. Usually you fund your order first, and freight is estimated and paid separately before the parcel ships. Accepted methods and any fees can change over time, so confirm the current options on the official site — this guide never quotes live prices.
Yes. If the standard warehouse photos do not show what you need — a label, the stitching, a particular angle — you can ask support for extra QC photos before the parcel ships. This is especially worth doing for second-hand Xianyu buys or anything where condition really matters. Ask before you pay for shipping.
Some goods cannot be shipped internationally — for example batteries, liquids, powders, flammables and other restricted categories — and the rules differ by destination and shipping line. If you are unsure whether something can be forwarded, ask Asdbuy support before you buy, and confirm on the official site, since restricted lists and available lines change.
Yes. From 1 July 2026 the EU removed the duty exemption that used to apply to parcels valued under €150. In its place a temporary fixed duty applies — reported as roughly €3 per product category per shipment — and it adds up when a parcel mixes several categories. Several EMS and EUB lines into EU countries were also temporarily suspended. These details are moving quickly, so confirm the live fees and available shipping lines on asdbuy.com before you send anything.
Asdbuy added an item collection and sharing tool in early 2026 that lets you save finds into a list and share that list with others. It is useful when you are building a haul from a spreadsheet — you can gather links in one place and compare sizes and prices before ordering. Check the official site for exactly how it works today.
No. This is an independent, beginner-friendly guide. We are not Asdbuy, its support team, Huayunji Trading Ltd, or W2CSpreadsheet. For accounts, orders, payments, QC and shipping you must use the official Asdbuy site, and you should always confirm prices, fees and policies there before you buy.
