Why Use CSSBuy for Taobao Purchases?
CSSBuy bridges the gap between Western consumers and Chinese e-commerce by offering:
- Direct access to Taobao stores that don't ship internationally
- Consolidated shipping for multiple purchases
- Quality control inspections before international dispatch
- Competitive exchange rates and transparent fee structure
Step-by-Step Purchase Process
1. Find Your Ideal Camper Product
Start by browsing Taobao for the Camper model you want. The product spreadsheet
2. Register on CSSBuy
Create an account at cssbuy.com, then navigate to "Paste Taobao Link" in your dashboard. The platform supports English and offers 24/7 customer service via live chat.
3. Product Verification
CSSBuy agents will:
- Contact the Taobao seller to confirm current stock
- Request detailed photos of the actual product
- Verify sizing specifics (Asian sizing often differs from Western standards)
They typically complete these checks within 1-2 business days.
4. Payment and Procurement
Once verified, CSSBuy will:
- Calculate total cost including domestic shipping in China
- Process your international payment (supports PayPal and major credit cards)
- Place the order with the Taobao seller
5. Customs Form Preparation
The platform helps properly declare the shoes' value to ensure smooth customs clearance in your country. For Camper shoes valued above €150 (EU) or $800 (US), you'll need to account for import duties.
Pro Tips for Smooth Transactions
From personal experience purchasing three pairs of Campers through CSSBuy:
- Always
- Consider combined shipping if purchasing multiple pairs - CSSBuy can store items in their warehouse for up to 180 days
- Opt for DHL or FedEx shipping for leather shoes - they handle customs more efficiently than standard postal services
- Order 0.5-1 size up from your usual size for Asian-fit Campers
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Neglecting to account for return difficulties - reverse shipping to China often costs more than the shoe's value
- Using gift declarations that don't match the item weight (a common customs red flag)
- Rushing the verification process - extra inspection is worth the wait
