GTBuy Spreadsheet Guide: QC, Custom Photos and Shipping

Facts updated 2026-09

Short answer

GTBuy suits spreadsheet users who prefer to confirm an order in stages: verify the original listing, wait for warehouse QC, request a custom photo if a key detail is still unclear, then consolidate the goods and pick international shipping based on the final parcel. Platform-listed figures as of 2026-09 include a 6.00 service fee, 90 days of free storage, and a paid custom-photo option.

GTBuy is a cross-border shopping agent that buys from Chinese marketplaces, receives goods at its own warehouse, supplies QC photos, and dispatches parcels internationally. Its order path separates purchasing, seller dispatch, warehouse receipt, QC review, and the final international shipping choice, so the route decision is made after the parcel is actually ready instead of at checkout.
About Gtbuy

GTBuy is a cross-border shopping-agent platform operated by Gtbuy Limited (company number 76481571), with [email protected] listed as the support contact. Its developer listing describes a one-stop service covering product sourcing, quality inspection, warehousing, international logistics, and after-sales support. What separates GTBuy from a plain checkout is the order path: assisted purchasing and China domestic delivery come first, then warehouse receipt, then QC review, and only then international dispatch. Because the international leg is selected after the parcel is prepared, you can compare warehouse QC against your original selection, keep only approved items, and price shipping on the packed parcel rather than an early estimate. GTBuy currently lists 90 days of free storage after warehouse receipt and shows QC once an item is stocked, with a paid custom-photo route when a standard image leaves a specific visual question open. Our testing team walked this flow from listing verification through parcel preparation. A 2026 community haul post reported an 11 kg parcel reaching the Netherlands in 13 days, with EUR132 quoted on an electronics line; that is one buyer's experience on one route, not a delivery, customs, or price guarantee.

What works well
  • Warehouse-stage order tracking keeps purchasing, seller dispatch, QC, and international shipping as separate, checkable steps

  • QC review is followed by an optional custom-photo request when a standard image does not answer a specific visual question

  • 90 days of free storage listed after warehouse receipt gives room to wait for other orders before consolidating

  • The international route is chosen after the parcel is packed, so the shipping quote reflects the real weight and volume

What to check
  • Fees, exchange rate, and storage terms are time-sensitive; the figures listed here were recorded in 2026-09 and should be re-checked in your own account before paying

  • QC photos cover visible details such as style, quantity, colour, size, model, and obvious damage. They are not an authenticity check and cannot confirm material quality or durability

  • A custom photo carries a charge of 1 and only helps when you can describe the missing visual detail precisely

  • Seller pre-orders, stock shortages, and dispatch delays can push back warehouse arrival, so an estimated warehouse date is not a guarantee

  • Public reviews are mixed: some buyers praise warehouse speed and support, while others report stained items or slow replies. Treat individual posts as context, not a platform-wide promise

What GTBuy does

GTBuy can purchase from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, receive goods at its warehouse, provide QC information, consolidate parcels, and arrange international dispatch. Its own listing describes a full path from sourcing and quality inspection through warehousing and logistics to after-sales support. As with any agent, verify the original source link, seller, selected option, and price before you place the order.

Why warehouse receipt comes before shipping

GTBuy's sequence puts the international decision last on purpose. Choosing a route after the parcel exists lets you compare QC against your order, retain only approved items, and quote shipping on the packed weight and volume instead of an early estimate. It also keeps a problem in the warehouse, where a return or exchange is still realistic, rather than in transit.

What you actually pay

Plan on the product price, China domestic delivery to the warehouse, the listed service fee of 6.00, and international shipping. International shipping depends on the final parcel, destination, selected route, and both actual and volumetric weight, so the headline per-kilo rate is not the total. Fee and exchange-rate data here was recorded in 2026-09; confirm current numbers in your own account before paying.

When to use a custom photo

Use a custom-photo request only when a standard QC image leaves a material question about a visible detail unanswered — a label, accessory count, local construction detail, or size marking, for example. Give a specific request and check the current charge (listed at 1) before submitting. A custom photo does not authenticate a product.

Spreadsheet checklist before you pay

Use the spreadsheet to reach the original listing, then check the seller, selected colour or version, size, price, and purchase restrictions. Keep a record of the chosen option so QC has something concrete to be compared against. Community spreadsheets are a starting point for links, not proof that a listing, price, or seller is reliable.

Using GTBuy as your shipping agent

GTBuy handles the part of the purchase that happens after the item is in China: domestic receipt, storage, inspection evidence, consolidation, and the international leg. That makes it a reasonable fit if your priority is a staged confirmation process rather than deciding shipping in advance. Compare the final delivered total — item, service fee, and the packed parcel quote — against other agents before committing, since a low headline fee can be outweighed by freight on the same cart.

How to use Gtbuy

  1. Step 1 — Verify the original link

    Open the original marketplace page from a trustworthy spreadsheet entry. Check the seller, selected options, price, size information, and any purchase restrictions. Keep notes or screenshots of the exact option you select.

  2. Step 2 — Submit the purchase request

    Submit the item, variants, quantity, and any essential notes. This stage covers the product and China domestic delivery. Seller pre-orders, stock shortages, or dispatch delays can affect when the item reaches the warehouse.

  3. Step 3 — Review QC at warehouse receipt

    When an item is stocked, compare the QC images against your original selection: visible style, quantity, colour, size, model, and obvious damage. Request a custom photo only when you can state the missing visual detail precisely. QC does not confirm authenticity.

  4. Step 4 — Consolidate and dispatch internationally

    Keep the items you approve, create a parcel, and compare routes for your destination. International shipping is chosen after parcel preparation, so review route restrictions, insurance terms, and the final cost shown before dispatch.

Shopping-agent guide

Treat the spreadsheet as a way to reach the original product page, not as a replacement for reading it. Open the marketplace listing, confirm the seller, exact colour or version, size, price, and any purchase restrictions, and keep a note or screenshot of the option you chose. Submit that item with the correct variant and quantity. Everything then happens at the warehouse. GTBuy purchases the item, the seller ships it domestically, and the item is received and photographed. Compare those QC images with your own record before the parcel is built. If a standard photo genuinely cannot answer a material question about a visible detail, pay for a custom photo rather than guessing. QC does not verify authenticity, so do not treat it as one. Only after you approve the goods should you consolidate them into a parcel and compare international routes for your destination. Review route restrictions, insurance terms, and the final cost shown for your actual parcel. Decide on any return or exchange well before the 90-day free storage window runs out, and re-check current fees and exchange rates in your account, since the numbers quoted here date from 2026-09.

Is GTBuy warehouse QC an authenticity check?

No. QC photos help you check visible order details such as style, quantity, colour, size, model, and obvious damage. They do not establish authenticity, material quality, seller reliability, or long-term durability.

How long can my item stay in the GTBuy warehouse?

GTBuy lists 90 days of free storage after warehouse receipt. Use that window to settle any return, exchange, or clarification, and decide on shipment before the free period is close to expiring. Confirm current terms in your account.

What happens if the seller is slow to ship?

Pre-orders, stock shortages, and dispatch delays at the seller can all push back warehouse arrival, so an estimated warehouse date is not a guarantee. If timing is critical, ask support about the order before assuming a fixed arrival.
