Search for the shoe model on Weidianspreadsheet.help, which lists verified sellers with price comparisons. Copy the Weidian product link for the Salomon Sense Ride (example: https://weidian.com/item123456789).
Paste the Weidian link into Hoobuy’s search bar. Specify the shoe color, size (note: EU sizes may differ), and quantity. Hoobuy will calculate the total cost, including domestic Chinese shipping (usually ¥0–10), service fee (~5–8%), and estimated international shipping. Confirm the order and pay via PayPal or credit card.
Once the seller ships to Hoobuy’s warehouse (2–5 days), Hoobuy will inspect the shoes and send photos for approval. You then choose an international carrier (e.g., DHL, EMS) based on budget and speed. Shipping to the US/Europe typically costs $20–50 and takes 7–20 days, depending on customs.
Hoobuy bridges the gap between international buyers and China’s lucrative but complex marketplaces. By leveraging their logistics network and the data from community-curated spreadsheets, you can secure authentic Salomon Sense Ride shoes at domestic prices—without navigating Mandarin or seller negotiations.
