GTBuy Spreadsheet Guide: QC, Custom Photos and Shipping
GTBuy suits Spreadsheet users who prefer to confirm an order in stages: verify the original listing, wait for warehouse quality-check photos, request a custom photo if a detail is still unclear, consolidate the goods you approve, and then choose international shipping based on the finished parcel. Treat listed fees and the 90-day storage window as information to re-check at checkout (figures dated 2026-09).

GTBuy is a China-based shopping agent for overseas buyers who shop from Taobao, Weidian and 1688 listings found on community Spreadsheets. Its order path separates assisted purchasing, seller dispatch, warehouse receipt, quality-check photos and only then international parcel dispatch, so the shipping route is chosen after the goods are in hand rather than before. GTBuy publicly lists 90 days of free storage after warehouse receipt and a paid custom-photo request path when a standard quality-check image does not answer a specific visible question. Our testing team ordered items through the platform and walked the full warehouse sequence to see where the decisions actually fall.
GTBuy is a cross-border shopping-agent platform operated by Gtbuy Limited, company number 76481571, which lists [email protected] as its support contact. It buys from Chinese marketplaces on a buyer's behalf, receives goods at its own warehouse, publishes quality-check photos, consolidates retained items and arranges international delivery. What separates it from a simple proxy checkout is the order of decisions. Product choice and China domestic delivery come first. International shipping is selected only after the item has been received, photographed and approved, so the route and freight decision is made against a real parcel weight and volume rather than an early estimate. GTBuy currently lists 90 days of free storage after warehouse receipt, plus a paid custom-photo request when a normal quality-check image does not answer a specific visual question. Our testing team worked through that sequence with several items to see how the warehouse stage behaves in practice: the listing link stays the source of truth, quality-check photos are the point where variant, quantity and visible condition get checked, and the international leg is the last thing you pay for. The platform's published notices are explicit about the limits — appearance-level inspection only for electronics and branded goods, no power-on testing, and buyer-borne risk on fragile items and prohibited categories. Fee figures, storage terms and promotion wording move over time. The values on this page note September 2026 as their reference date; the authoritative numbers are the ones shown in your own account and cart on the day you pay.
What works well
The order path tracks each stage — assisted purchase, seller dispatch, warehouse receipt, quality review — before any international route has to be chosen
Quality-check photos arrive with the item at the warehouse, with an optional paid custom-photo request when a standard image does not answer a specific question
90 free storage days after warehouse receipt give slow sellers time to arrive before you consolidate a parcel
What to check
GTBuy states it cannot professionally inspect electronics, branded or counterfeit goods, tickets, cards or models, and that it does not power items on: quality checks cover appearance and the presence of accessories only
Seller pre-orders, stock shortages and dispatch delays can push back warehouse arrival, so an estimated warehouse date is not a guarantee
Some categories carry risk the buyer absorbs — items classed as fragile, CDs and figures inspected without opening the plastic, and sensitive components that are removed before shipping
Secondhand delivery anecdotes, such as a 2026 community report of an 11 kg parcel reaching the Netherlands in 13 days, describe one route and parcel and are not a delivery, customs or price promise
What GTBuy does
GTBuy buys from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, receives the goods into its warehouse, publishes quality-check information, consolidates parcels and arranges international dispatch. The company listing names Gtbuy Limited, company number 76481571, with [email protected] as the support contact. Always verify the original source link, the seller, the selected option and the price before placing an order.
Why warehouse receipt comes before shipping
Choosing an international route works better after the goods have arrived and a parcel can be prepared. That pause lets you compare the quality-check images with your original order, keep only the items you approve, and price the shipping decision on the actual packed parcel rather than on an early estimate that may change.
What you actually pay
Product price, China domestic delivery, the service fee GTBuy lists at 6.00, and international shipping. A custom-photo request carries its own listed charge. Freight depends on the finished parcel, your destination, the route you select, actual weight and volume, and any import duties or customs charges your country applies.
When to use a custom photo
Ask for a custom photo only when a standard image leaves a material question unanswered — a label, the number of accessories, a construction detail or a size marking. State the request precisely and check the current charge before submitting. An extra photo shows more of the item; it does not authenticate it.
Spreadsheet checklist before you pay
Use the Spreadsheet to reach the original listing, then check the seller, the selected colour or version, the size, the price and any purchase restrictions, and write down what you chose. Quality-check photos exist to compare received goods against that record. They are not an authenticity guarantee, and standard checks cover appearance and accessories rather than function.
Where GTBuy's own notices set limits
GTBuy's published purchase notice states that it cannot professionally inspect electrical appliances, branded or counterfeit goods, tickets, cards or models, and that inspectors do not power devices on. It also flags fragile items, CDs and figures opened only for external checks, sensitive components removed before dispatch, and a list of strictly prohibited goods. Read those notices before ordering a category they touch.
How to use Gtbuy
- 1 Step 1 — Verify the original link
- Open the marketplace page behind a trustworthy Spreadsheet entry. Confirm the seller, the selected options, the price, sizing information and any purchase restrictions, and keep a screenshot or note of the exact option you chose.
- 2 Step 2 — Submit the purchase request
- Send the item, variant, quantity and any essential notes. This stage covers the product and China domestic delivery. Seller pre-orders, stock shortages or dispatch delays can all affect how quickly the goods reach the warehouse.
- 3 Step 3 — Review quality-check photos at warehouse receipt
- Compare the published images with your original record: visible style, quantity, colour, size, model and obvious damage. Request a custom photo only when you can state the missing detail precisely. Quality checks do not confirm authenticity.
- 4 Step 4 — Consolidate and dispatch internationally
- Keep the items you approve, build a parcel, and compare routes for your destination on the final weight and volume. Read the route restrictions, insurance terms and total shown for your parcel before you pay for dispatch.
Use a GTBuy Spreadsheet as an index, not as a product description. Open the original marketplace page behind every row you like, because a spreadsheet entry is only a link plus someone else's note. Check the seller, the exact colourway or version, the size, the price and any purchase restriction, then keep your own record of the option you selected. The same product link can usually be pasted into most buying agents in this category, so choosing GTBuy is a routing decision about fees, warehousing and service, not access to an exclusive catalog. Once the listing is verified, submit the item and its variants. This first payment covers the product and China domestic delivery; seller pre-orders, stock shortages and dispatch delays can all change when the item actually reaches the warehouse. When it is stocked, compare the published quality-check images against your own record of the order — style, quantity, colour, size, model, obvious damage, and whether the listed accessories are present. Quality-check photos are evidence about appearance, not proof of authenticity or material quality. If one specific visual detail is still unresolved, a custom-photo request lets you state exactly what you need to see; check the current charge first. Only then build the parcel. Retain the items you approve, consolidate them with anything else still inside the 90-day storage window, and compare international routes for your destination on the real packed weight and volume. Freight quotes, route restrictions, insurance terms, import duties and customs treatment differ by line and country and are the buyer's responsibility, so read the terms shown for your parcel rather than another user's report. Our testing team's practical takeaway is simple: delay the shipping decision until the warehouse stage, keep the original listing as your reference point, and re-check every fee in your own cart instead of trusting a figure quoted in a guide — including this one.
Where should I get a GTBuy Spreadsheet?
Treat any curated Spreadsheet as a starting point and open every original product link yourself. Confirm the seller, selected options, price and restrictions on the marketplace page before ordering, since a sheet row is a link with notes rather than a verified listing.
What can GTBuy quality-check photos actually verify?
They help confirm visible order details such as style, quantity, colour, size, model and obvious damage. They do not establish authenticity, material quality, seller reliability or long-term durability, and GTBuy states that electronics and branded goods receive appearance-level checks only.
When should I request a custom photo?
Request one when standard images do not answer a specific visible-detail question, for example a label, an accessory count or a size marking. Describe exactly what you need to see and check the current per-request charge before submitting.
