Tomebuy Spreadsheet Manifest

Sixteen shelves of real catalogue photos, plus a six-entry manifest that follows one order from a pasted link through warehouse intake, quality photos, consolidation, the international leg, and the parcel landing on a doorstep.

Spreadsheet

Sixteen shelves, one search box

Each card opens the matching shelf on the Tomebuy Spreadsheet catalogue. Pictures are real stock photos pulled from the live catalogue, not drawings.

How Tomebuy takes a product link through six order stages

This Spreadsheet supplies catalogue links and buying guidance; Tomebuy handles the order, warehouse and parcel. Follow six decisions: confirm the item and pay for goods, check warehouse receipt, review QC, choose items to combine, approve freight, and inspect delivery. Open the stage matching your account status rather than paying again just because a later part of the process appears in the guide.

The six-entry manifest this site uses to structure an order, drawn from Tomebuy's own published process pages, read 2026-10-21/22.

Start at the full manifest if this is your first order. It walks every entry in order, with a photo or a self-made diagram next to each one so you are not reading six paragraphs of unbroken text.

Conflicting Tomebuy storage periods: what to confirm before waiting

Tomebuy’s pages give different storage periods. Do not treat the longest number as extra time granted to your order: check the item’s stock-in date and the deadline shown in your warehouse account, then ask support to confirm any mismatch before leaving goods there. The storage page keeps the published versions and their source dates together.

Three storage-period claims from three different Tomebuy pages: 60 days, 90 days, and 180 days
Tomebuy's homepage, its After-Sales Service page, and its Order Questions help article each name a different free-storage window. Full breakdown on the storage and returns page.
In short

Tomebuy, in numbers Tomebuy itself publishes

Not a ranking, not an estimate. Each figure below has its own source page, read 2026-10-21/22; the full source and date sit on the page it links to.

0fee on the core shopping-agent service, item cost and shipping aside
~8 RMBcustoms declaration charge per parcel
3–7free QC photos, the exact range depends which Tomebuy page you read
60–180days of free storage, same caveat
5 daysreturn window after warehouse stock-in, 0.75 USD fee if no quality fault

Two of those ranges are not typos, they are the actual spread between what different Tomebuy pages say. This site treats that spread as the most useful thing it can tell a new shopper, more useful than repeating whichever single number sounds best.

Who this site is for

Why choose Tomebuy for a purchase that needs more than a product link?

Tomebuy handles purchasing, warehouse receipt and onward shipping. Those are common buying-agent services. Its official Shopping Agent Guide gives a more specific reason to consider it: four ways to identify an item, followed by order contact, warehouse selection and parcel tracking in one documented sequence.

Bring a link, a keyword, an image or a manual request

The guide describes link import, keyword and image search, plus DIY Orders when a source is outside the direct integrations. That is useful when you have a clear product requirement but no working imported listing. A manual request still needs the seller, selected options and a confirmed quote; it is not automatic acceptance of any item.

Keep questions attached to the purchase

The guide directs buying questions to Contact on the Orders page, then separates Warehouse selection from Parcel packing and tracking. For a mixed clothing order, you can clarify a variant before purchase and review the received goods before choosing what ships. Basic inspection is limited; it does not test electronic function or establish authenticity.

Tomebuy suits a buyer who can manage that dialogue and wait for confirmed freight. If a firm storage period, specialist testing or a fixed delivered price is essential, get a written answer first or compare a provider that meets that requirement. The full agent-choice guide keeps the conflicting storage and photo-count statements visible without choosing the most generous number.

Why pair Tomebuy with this Spreadsheet?

Use the category shelves to find candidates before you know a seller URL. Then use the Manifest to turn those candidates into a planned order: compare the same variant, decide what QC evidence you need, and leave a separate freight allowance. Tomebuy performs the transaction; this site helps prepare the decisions around it.

Example: one bag, two plausible listings

Choose the same intended dimensions and colour on both listings. Record domestic postage and whether a strap is included. If the size is unclear, keep that question with the link for the buying request; if the closure matters, request a useful warehouse photo before shipment. Existing photos of another order are reference material, not evidence about your next item.

The weight tools show how box size can change billable weight; the cost guide shows which expenses the listing price leaves out. Neither calculates a live Tomebuy quote. Read the full comparison workflow or go straight to Tomebuy if the seller, specification and shipping plan are already settled.

If you already use Tomebuy and just need a specific figure, the fastest routes are costs, storage, and QC photos. If you are new to shopping-agent storefronts altogether, start with the manifest, which explains each of the six stages in the order an order actually moves through. If you are weighing Tomebuy against a different agent, why this agent and elsewhere lay out what is genuinely specific to Tomebuy and what questions to ask of any agent you compare it with.
