Your items have made it to OopBuy's warehouse and passed your photo check. Now comes the longest part of their journey: the international leg. This guide follows a parcel through that leg in order, explaining what happens and what you can influence at each point.
Before the parcel exists
Until you submit a parcel, your items simply wait in your OopBuy warehouse. This is your chance to shape the haul. Make sure everything you want together has arrived; if a seller is running late, choose between waiting and shipping the rest now, leaving the late item for a later parcel. Hold back anything you are not happy with after the QC photos until OopBuy has helped you resolve it.
Creating the parcel
When you select items and submit a parcel, you are deciding not just what goes in the box but how big the box will be. Carriers generally consider volume as well as weight, so bulky packaging can raise the cost. Shoeboxes, rigid bags and protective cases take space, while soft clothing does not. OopBuy shows the packaging and protection options available for your parcel; pick what your items genuinely need. If the haul is very large or heavy, compare whether splitting it into two parcels opens up more line options.
Choosing how it travels
Next, OopBuy lists the shipping lines that can carry your parcel to your country. Each has its own price, estimated timing and rules. Lines can refuse items with batteries, liquids, powders or magnets, and some have size or weight limits or exclude certain goods. Read these notes before deciding. The price shown in OopBuy is calculated for your parcel and destination, so rely on it rather than on figures quoted elsewhere.
Paying for the leg
Before confirming, check that your address is complete, including any flat number and a phone number for the courier. Make sure the selection is right, and see whether a shipping coupon can be applied. The final amount on the payment screen is the one to verify.
Packing and handover
After payment, OopBuy packs the parcel and hands it to the carrier. At this point you receive a tracking number. Save it alongside the parcel ID and line name.
Export, transit and import
The parcel then leaves China, travels internationally and enters your country. Tracking frequently goes quiet during export and import processing; long pauses are a normal part of the trip. Any import duties or taxes depend on your country's rules, and your customs authority can confirm what applies.
Arrival
Final delivery is handled by the carrier in your country. When the parcel arrives, check the contents against the warehouse photos. If the box is damaged, photograph it before opening and contact OopBuy support.
