From a candidate link to a prepared first order

Start with one product category, record the exact variant, resolve missing size information, and check the current platform terms and full cost before paying. A discovery link is only the beginning of that process.

Start with a constraint you can check

Choose an intended use, a fit requirement and an overall spending limit. For example, a bag must fit your own laptop dimensions; the seller calling it a laptop bag is not enough. Avoid building a large basket while basic measurements remain unanswered.

Prepare the handoff

  1. Open a category guide here, then its matching PickFound collection.
  2. Save the exact candidate URL and chosen size, color or model in your own notes.
  3. Check the source listing and ask the chosen platform whether it can purchase that option.
  4. Read the current cancellation, return and refund terms before funding or paying.
  5. Keep room in the budget for China-side delivery, international shipping, fees and import charges.
  6. After warehouse arrival, compare your order record with the received-item photos before parcel submission.

Know which decision you are making

Paying for the item, approving a warehouse inspection and paying to send a parcel are different commitments. A change that is easy before purchasing can be expensive after dispatch. Ask about the actual deadline and return expense; this guide does not claim a fixed OSSBuy return window.

Keep a useful record

Keep order confirmations, the selected variant and relevant policy wording in your own files. Do not enter account passwords, payment details, addresses or private order identifiers into this site’s public-facing tools. The comparison workbench is for non-sensitive product notes.

Keep the next step specific.

Questions worth asking.

Should my first order be large to use a promotion?

A promotion does not remove uncertainty about fit, service or shipping eligibility. Check its actual conditions and your complete budget before letting it change the order size.

Can I place an order on Shortlist Studio?

No. Orders and payments happen only on the external platform you choose.
