Gtbuy Spreadsheet: QC, Custom Photos and Shipping Guide
Gtbuy suits Spreadsheet users who prefer confirming an order in stages: verify the original link, wait for warehouse QC, request a custom photo if a key detail is still unclear, then consolidate the items and choose international shipping based on the finished parcel.
Gtbuy is a cross-border shopping agent that buys from Chinese marketplaces, receives goods in its own warehouse, publishes QC images, holds items for consolidation, and then forwards them internationally. Our testing team followed the whole chain - link check, purchase request, warehouse receipt, QC, parcel preparation, route choice - and the sequence is the point: international shipping is chosen only after the goods are physically in the warehouse. The platform lists 90 free storage days, an optional custom-photo request when standard QC images leave a question open, and a listed service fee of 6.00, with the current rate and exchange rate confirmed as of 2026-09.

Gtbuy is a cross-border shopping-agent platform. Its developer listing identifies Gtbuy Limited, company number 76481571, with [email protected] as the support contact.
What separates Gtbuy is how it splits the order path. Marketplace purchasing comes first: you supply the original listing, the chosen variant and the quantity, and the agent buys domestically. The item then travels to the Gtbuy warehouse, where it is received, photographed for QC, and held. Only after that does the parcel stage begin - consolidation, route comparison, and payment for international delivery.
The platform currently lists 90 free storage days from warehouse receipt and offers custom-photo requests when a standard QC image does not answer a precise visual question. Because warehouse receipt depends on the seller, an estimated arrival date is a forecast that pre-orders or stock shortages can move.
A 2026 Reddit haul post described an 11 kg Gtbuy parcel reaching the Netherlands in 13 days in satisfactory condition, with EUR132 in shipping on an electronics line. That is one buyer's experience on one route, useful as context, not a delivery, customs or price promise.
Our testing team worked through the stages in order - original link verification, purchase request, warehouse QC, parcel preparation, route selection - to check that each decision point actually lands before the next payment. The flow holds up: you are never asked to commit to international freight while an item is still unverified in the warehouse.
What to weigh up
What to check
Service fee, exchange rate and custom-photo charges were listed as of 2026-09 and can change; confirm live figures before paying
QC images confirm visible order details only. They do not authenticate a product, its materials or its durability
Seller pre-orders, stock shortages and dispatch delays make an estimated warehouse date an estimate, not a promise
International shipping is quoted on the packed parcel, destination, route, actual weight and volume - volumetrics can raise the price above a weight-based guess
Community delivery and price reports describe one parcel on one route and are not a platform-wide guarantee
Free storage ends after 90 days, so an item left past the window can cost extra or need a fast decision
What works well
Warehouse-stage order tracking before an international route is chosen
QC review at warehouse receipt, with a custom-photo path for a specific visual question
90 free storage days allow slow-arriving items to be consolidated into one parcel
Consolidation happens before freight is paid, so you can drop an item you do not approve
What Gtbuy does
Gtbuy can assist with purchases from Chinese marketplaces, receive the goods in its warehouse, provide QC information, consolidate parcels and arrange international dispatch. The purchase itself is the first step, not the last: you supply the source link, the variant and the quantity, and the agent handles the domestic transaction and inbound delivery. Always verify the original source link, seller, selected option and price before you place the order.
Why warehouse receipt comes before shipping
Your international route is best chosen after the goods are received and the parcel can be prepared. That ordering gives you a chance to compare warehouse QC with the original order, keep only the items you approve, and price shipping against the finished parcel instead of an early estimate. Paying freight before an item arrives means paying to move something you have not seen.
What you actually pay
Product price + China domestic delivery + service fee + international shipping. Gtbuy listed a service fee of 6.00 and an exchange rate of 5.97 as of 2026-09, but fees, rates and any payment surcharges can move, so confirm the live figures in your own order. International shipping depends on the packed parcel, destination, chosen route, actual weight and volume - volumetric measurement can push the quote above a simple weight calculation.
When to use a custom photo
Use a custom-photo request only when a standard QC image does not answer a material question about a visible detail, such as a label, an accessory count, a local construction detail or a size marking. Give a specific request rather than a general one, and check the current charge before submitting it. A custom photo documents what the camera can see; it does not authenticate a product.
Spreadsheet checklist before you pay
Use the Spreadsheet to reach the original listing, then check the seller, the selected colour or version, the size, the price and the purchase restrictions. Keep a record of the chosen option alongside the link. QC exists to compare visibly received goods with that record - it is not an authenticity guarantee, and it will not tell you how the item will wear over time.
How to use Gtbuy
01Step 1 — Verify the original link
Open the original marketplace page from a trustworthy Spreadsheet entry. Check the seller, the selected options, the price, size information and any purchase restrictions. Keep screenshots or notes of the exact variant you chose, because that record is what you compare against later.
02Step 2 — Submit the purchase request
Submit the item, variants, quantity and any essential notes. This stage covers the product and China domestic delivery only. Seller pre-orders, stock shortages and dispatch delays can all move the warehouse arrival date, so treat the estimate as a forecast.
03Step 3 — Review QC at warehouse receipt
Once an item is stocked, compare the available 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 verify authenticity.
04Step 4 — Consolidate and dispatch internationally
Keep the items you approve, create a parcel, and compare routes for your destination. International shipping is selected after parcel preparation, so review route restrictions, insurance terms and the final cost shown for your parcel before you pay.
Shopping-agent guide
Use a Gtbuy Spreadsheet to reach the original product page, never as a replacement for reading it. Open the listing, confirm the seller, exact colour or version, size, price and purchase restrictions, then keep a record of the option you selected. Submit the purchase request with those details, plus any essential note about the variant.
When the item is stocked at the warehouse, compare the QC evidence with your own record before anything else happens. Check that the visible style, quantity, colour, size, model and general condition match what you ordered. If one specific visual detail is still unresolved, state that question precisely and use the custom-photo request rather than accepting a partial answer.
Then choose what you keep. Consolidate approved items into a single parcel, compare routes for your destination against route restrictions and the final quoted cost, and pay for international shipping only once the parcel total looks right. Free storage is listed at 90 days from warehouse receipt, so decide on returns, shipment or exchanges well before the window closes.
