Loongbuy spreadsheet guide when the evidence is only nine reviews deep

Loongbuy status and terms, checked 10 October 2026

Status labels on this site follow one rule set: Working means the site loads and recent reviews show orders moving; Operating means it loads but recent evidence is thin; Reported means warning signs without confirmation; Shut down needs an owner statement, a dead domain or a documented raid. See the full agent status list for every agent side by side.

Too small to judge by score

Nine reviews cannot carry a verdict. One angry or one delighted buyer swings the average by a large step. Loongbuy has an Android app on Google Play and a small, mostly US audience. Our reader hit Cloudflare's gate, so terms must be checked in the account.

A safe way to try it

Order one low-cost item, ship it alone, and judge the whole loop: purchase speed, photo quality, parcel packing, tracking. Only then add more.

Moving Hipobuy spreadsheet links to Loongbuy

A row in a Hipobuy spreadsheet is a Taobao, Weidian or 1688 listing wrapped in a Hipobuy address. To open it on Loongbuy, take the marketplace part: the Taobao id= number or the Weidian itemID= number. Rebuild the plain marketplace URL, paste it into Loongbuy's search bar, and the same product appears at the same seller price. Shipping, storage and photos then follow Loongbuy's rules rather than Hipobuy's.

Do it in batches of five or ten. Some listings will have sold out since the sheet was made, and it is easier to spot those when you are not converting a hundred rows at once. Our Hipobuy links page shows each link format with an example.

What a Loongbuy parcel costs in Germany after July 2026

Say you buy two pairs of jeans and a shirt through Loongbuy for €80 in total and pick a line that quotes €18 for the parcel. Germany charges 19% import VAT on goods plus transport, about €18.62. Since 1 July 2026 the EU also charges a flat €3 customs duty for each different tariff category in parcels up to €150 sent under IOSS; this basket has 2 categories, so €6. Landed cost: roughly €122.62, before any carrier handling fee.

Two things move that number most. Splitting one basket into two parcels can double the category duty, and mixing many item types adds €3 each time. Our EU landed-cost calculator runs the same sum for your own basket, and the Germany guide covers carriers and delivery times.

Loongbuy next to Hipobuy

Hipobuy's help centre states a free purchasing service: you pay the item, Chinese domestic delivery, the international line and a customs declaration charge of about ¥10 per parcel. Returns are possible within five days of an item reaching the warehouse, at the cost of both shipping legs plus ¥5. Set those against Loongbuy's terms above and the difference usually comes down to storage time, photo count and the line price for your country.

Before your first Loongbuy order

• Send support one simple question and time the answer.
• Find the storage period and the fee that starts after it.
• Note how many QC photos are free and what extra photos cost.
• Check the payment surcharge for card, PayPal or bank transfer.
• Order one inexpensive item first and follow it all the way to your door.

These five checks take less than an hour and tell you more about Loongbuy than any review average. Keep screenshots of the terms you read, since agents change wording without notice.

Getting a Loongbuy parcel through EU customs

Every parcel entering the EU pays import VAT from the first euro. Since 1 July 2026, parcels worth up to €150 sent under the IOSS scheme also pay a flat €3 customs duty for each different tariff category inside. Declarations must describe the goods truthfully; under-declaring is illegal and is exactly what customs checks look for. Goods that infringe trademarks can be seized whatever the declared value. A clean parcel is one with accurate contents, sensible weight and a line that handles VAT properly.

Our country guides add the local detail: Germany, France, Spain.

What to look at in Loongbuy's QC photos

Check the label and size tag first, because a wrong size is the cheapest problem to fix before shipping. Then look at seams and stitching at stress points, the colour against the listing under neutral light, and any hardware such as zips and buckles. For shoes, ask for both shoes side by side and the soles. If something is off, raise it while the item is still within the return window; once a parcel leaves China, fixing it is rarely practical.

Our QC guide walks through the same checks with Hipobuy's process in mind.

Spreadsheet categories that suit Loongbuy

Light, low-risk categories make the best first orders on any agent: T-shirts, caps, belts and jewellery cost little to ship and are easy to check in photos. Shoes and jackets need closer QC and more parcel weight. If you are building a basket, our filtered pages help: jerseys and sportswear, watches and sneakers. Every link there opens on Loongbuy once you use the marketplace URL.

Who Loongbuy suits

Loongbuy is fine for an experiment; it is not where a European newcomer should start. Hipobuy, Kakobuy or Superbuy give far more evidence.
