Before You Open the Spreadsheet
Have a clear idea of what you want. The spreadsheet is large, and browsing without direction is overwhelming. Know your category, your size, and your budget before you start. This site helps you understand each category first so you can browse more efficiently.
Step 1: Choose Your Category
The spreadsheet is organized into tabs or sections. Shoes, Hoodies, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, and so on. Start with the category that matches what you are looking for. Use our category guides on this site to understand what to expect before you dive in.
Step 2: Understand the Columns
Each row in the spreadsheet contains:
- Item name: The product name or model.
- Batch name: The specific production run. This is the key to quality research.
- Supplier: Who to contact. Usually a link or username.
- Price: Approximate range. Always confirm with the supplier before paying.
- Notes: Community comments, QC observations, and known flaws.
Step 3: Research the Batch
The batch name is the most important field. Copy it and search it on community forums. Look for review threads, QC photo albums, and comparison posts. In 2026, the most reviewed batches are the safest bets.
Step 4: Contact the Supplier
Click the supplier link or note the contact method. Send a clear message with:
- The exact item name and batch name
- Your size (with measurement reference if needed)
- A request for current stock status and QC photos
Step 5: QC, Pay, and Wait
Review the QC photos carefully. Compare against retail. If it looks good, confirm and pay with buyer protection. Then wait. Use the tracking number to follow the package. When it arrives, inspect it and share your experience.
Pro Tips for 2026
- Sort by "newest" or check the last update date — older entries may be outdated.
- Read the notes column carefully — it often contains warnings about known flaws.
- Do not rush. The best deals are found by patient buyers who do their research.
