My Ultimate Tmall Spreadsheet Shopping Guide: How I Save Big on PG 1-6 Purchases
As a regular European shopper who’s been using Wegobuy for years to buy PG 1-6 items from Tmall, I’ve perfected the art of saving money on international shipping and avoiding customs duties. Let me share my proven strategies.
My Step-by-Step Process for Maximum Savings
First, I always start by browsing the Tmall spreadsheet communities on Discord where users share the best deals and reliable sellers. This saves me hours of research and helps me avoid scams.
Shipping Cost Reduction Secrets
Here’s how I cut my shipping costs by over 60%:
- Consolidate multiple purchases into one shipment
- Choose budget shipping lines during non-peak seasons
- Remove original packaging to reduce weight
- Use rehearsal shipping to get exact costs
Customs Avoidance Strategies That Work
After several learning experiences, I now:
- Declare values under the customs threshold (usually â¬22-â¬150 depending on country)
- Split large orders into multiple smaller shipments
- Request sellers to mark items as “gifts” when possible
- Choose shipping lines with better customs clearance rates
Essential Tools I Use
The spreadsheet Discord communities are invaluable for real-time seller reviews and price comparisons. Combined with Wegobuy spreadsheet tracking, I can monitor price fluctuations and buy at the perfect time.
By following these methods, I typically save 40-70% compared to buying locally, even after accounting for shipping and potential customs fees. The key is patience, research, and using the right tools like the Discord spreadsheet networks that keep me updated on the best deals.
