Tools for Rep Buyers

Fees exclude shipping. Use the Fee Calculator for exact figures including haul size.

The four steps above cover 90% of a standard haul. Step 3 — calculating total cost — is the one most beginners skip and then regret. Shipping from China to Europe or the US typically adds $25–$45 to any order depending on the carrier and package weight. Use the Shipping Calculator every single time until the numbers become intuitive.

For customs, the Customs Calculator gives rough estimates by destination country. UK and EU buyers face import duties on orders over £135 / €150. Experienced buyers often split hauls into smaller packages to stay under local thresholds — the calculator helps you decide whether splitting makes financial sense on a given order.

Agent choice matters more than most beginners realize. The difference between a 0% service fee (CNFans, ACBuy) and a 10% fee (older Superbuy pricing) on a $300 haul is $30 — enough to cover another item. The Agents page has full reviews of every major buying agent active in 2026, including fee breakdowns, storage policies, and QC photo quality comparisons. If you're deciding between CNFans and Kakobuy for your first haul, that's where to start.

Community reps have quality tiers — this is something the Glossary explains in detail. LJR and PK are generally the top-tier batch factories for Jordan 1s and 4s. OG batch is mid-tier but fine for casual wear. W2C links in community spreadsheets usually specify the batch — always check before ordering if quality matters to you. When you're ready to place an order, the FAQ page answers the 30 most common questions from first-time buyers.

Most first-time buyers lose money on their first haul because they don't calculate total costs before ordering. The item price is one number. Agent fees are another. Shipping to your country is often the biggest surprise — a $60 pair of reps can cost $30–$40 to ship internationally depending on the carrier and your location. Run the Shipping Calculator before approving anything.

The Agent Comparison table breaks down service fees, storage limits, QC photo quality, and payment methods for 20+ agents side by side. CNFans and Kakobuy both run 0–1.5% service fees right now, which beats Superbuy's 5–10% by a wide margin. That difference adds up fast across a full haul.

For size help, the Size Converter handles US/EU/UK/CM conversions for sneakers, clothing, and accessories. Chinese sizing runs small on tops and hoodies — always check the converter before picking a size on rep items, especially Balenciaga and Essentials which have notorious sizing quirks in reps.

New to the community vocabulary? The Rep Glossary covers every term you'll see on Reddit and Discord — W2C, QC, batch, haul, GL, LJR, PK, OG — all explained without the jargon spiral. Check the FAQ for the questions that come up in every beginner thread.

If you're comparing agents side by side, the Agent Comparison page has fee structures, QC quality ratings, and payment method breakdowns for every major agent. Kakobuy wins on mobile UX. CNFans wins on fee transparency. Sugargoo and ACBuy are solid for beginners who want more hand-holding through the QC process.

The Seller Red Flags guide is worth reading before your first order — it covers the patterns that show up consistently in scam and bait-and-switch listings on Weidian and Taobao. The most common one: hero photo is clearly a different batch than what ships.
