Step-by-Step: Using LOONGBUY to Order Your Reddit Finds
Turning a Reddit post into a parcel at your door is a simple, methodical process. Follow these steps for the most stable and secure experience.
Step 1: Find Your Item on r/FashionReps and Copy the Link
Scour the subreddit for those highly-upvoted "FINDS" or "REVIEW" posts. Once you've found your grail, the original poster (OP) will almost always include a link to the item on a Chinese platform like Taobao, Weidian, or 1688. Copy that product URL.
Step 2: Create a LOONGBUY Account and Prepare to Order
Head to the LOONGBUY website and sign up. It's a straightforward process. Before pasting your link, ensure you have all the necessary information handy:
- Product URL:
- Price in CNY (Chinese Yuan):
- Size & Color:
Step 3: Submit the Order on the LOONGBUY Site
On your LOONGBUY dashboard, find the "Order" or "Purchase" section. Paste your product link into the field. The site will usually fetch the product details. Manually input or confirm the price, color, size, and any specific notes for the agent (e.g., "Please ask seller for latest batch"). Add to cart and proceed to pay for the item cost and the domestic shipping fee to LOONGBUY's warehouse.
Step 4: The Most Important Step – WAIT FOR QC PHOTOS
This is the step that separates smart reps shoppers from the disappointed ones. Do not preemptively approve international shipping.
