LitBuy Shipping, Storage & Spreadsheet Combine Strategy

Spreadsheet shoppers optimize shipping after QC — not at row click. LitBuy publishes storage under the service’s current terms per item from warehouse arrival, current service fees on items, and dozens of international lines. This guide covers the timeline from spreadsheet GL to doorstep.

Timeline after you paste a spreadsheet link

Seller to LitBuy warehouse: typically 2–7 days domestic China. QC photos upload same day or next day after arrival. International leg after GL: often 10–25 days depending on line and customs — plan ~4 weeks total for a first haul.

LitBuy lists 24-hour packing speed on 2026 comparison pages — useful when you combine multiple spreadsheet rows before one label.

90-day storage rules

Each item's free storage clock starts when status shows stored in warehouse — not when you submit the order. After day 90: ~0.5 CNY per item per day until day 180 abandonment policy.

Combine strategy: add a second spreadsheet row before day 90 on your first GL item to share one international label. Solo-shipping four spreadsheet finds is the most expensive per-piece pattern.

Lines, declaration, and rehearsal

Prefer tariffless or tax-free lines to US/EU when available for rep hauls — community seizure rates are lower than raw branded DHL on shoe boxes.

Declare generic contents — "men sports shoes", "cotton hoodie" — roughly $12–14 per kg US guidance. Never brand names on customs forms.

Rehearsal packing (pre-pack weigh-in) costs a small fee but catches volumetric billing: Jordan 4 with box often bills higher than scale weight. Remove shoeboxes on personal pairs to shave 300–500 g.

Shipping estimate at submit vs final charge?

LitBuy quotes at parcel submit; settlement after actual pack weight/volume. Rehearsal narrows the gap.

Can I ship spreadsheet items from different sellers together?

Yes — that is the warehouse value prop. Each seller ships domestic CN to LitBuy; you combine at international checkout.
