Step 2: Browse the Spreadsheet
The spreadsheet is organized into categories with filters for size, color, price, and seller. Start by selecting a category, then apply filters to narrow your search.
Using Filters
Apply category, size, color, and price filters in order. Start broad, then narrow down. UK sizing filter is essential for accurate fit.
Reading Listings
Check price, seller score, review count, and available sizes. Click through to see detailed photos and size charts.

When you find an item you want, add it to your cart. You can continue browsing or proceed to checkout. At checkout, select your shipping line, apply any coupons, and complete payment.
Step 4: QC and Shipping
After your agent purchases the item, it arrives at their warehouse. Request QC photos to inspect the item before shipping. Once approved, the agent packs and ships to your UK address.

Use your tracking number to monitor delivery. For Royal Mail lines, track through the Royal Mail website. For couriers, use their tracking portals. Be ready to pay customs fees if applicable.
