Compare shopping agents with the context that matters.

BaseTao is a shopping agent that runs two routes into one warehouse: Buy for Me for marketplace links it purchases on your behalf, and Ship for Me for parcels you have already paid a Chinese seller. Warehouse arrival, QC photos, consolidation or splitting and international delivery sit in the same workflow, with 120 days of free storage.

CSSBuy is a Chinese shopping and shipping agent whose workflow splits buying from dispatch: the first payment covers the item and China domestic delivery, and international freight is priced only after warehouse receipt, QC review and packing.

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.

Orientdig is a China shopping agent built around two separate confirmations: confirm the original item before purchase, then confirm the packed parcel before international dispatch. Buyers start from a Spreadsheet, open the original listing, and verify seller, variant, size, price and restrictions. Orientdig accepts direct marketplace links and also offers keyword search, image search and DIY Orders for other sources. After an item reaches the warehouse, Orientdig provides HD QC images for visible checks. Before dispatch, rehearsal packing can give a more useful weight estimate than an early product-page calculation. Final freight depends on the packed parcel's actual and volumetric weight, destination and route. One publicly reported buyer experience describes a 12 kg Orientdig shipment using rehearsal packing at roughly PLN 700, arriving well packed with responsive support. That is one individual report, not a promise about delivery, price, customs or service.

ACBuy is a China-based buying and parcel-forwarding agent for Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688 and other marketplaces, with free QC photos, 90 days of free storage and 150+ international shipping lines. Reps and Weidian links are no longer supported, and order intake was suspended during a 2026 warehouse upgrade.
