Step-by-step
Split seller price from agent stages
The card estimate is a marketplace research signal — not domestic shipping, packing, or international freight.
Stage 1 usually = product + China domestic shipping to the warehouse. Confirm every live line item.
Check service fees and optional extras separately
Do not assume purchasing or basic QC is free. Read the current fee schedule and your order breakdown; we have not verified a current zero-fee offer.
Detailed photos, special packing, reinforcement, and some payment handling can still cost money. Enable extras deliberately.
Expect international freight after packing
Freight is quoted from measured warehouse weight/dimensions, destination, and route.
Shoes, puffers, and structured bags often inflate volumetric weight. Cheap item stacks can still create expensive parcels.
Use the calculator early; believe the submit quote
Early estimates help you cut hopeless haul sizes while researching.
Check whether the parcel quote is estimated or final, how chargeable weight is calculated, and whether later adjustments or surcharges can apply.
Separate coupons, payment fees, and refunds
Shipping coupons usually apply at parcel submit — see Coupons & deals.
Use the payment methods actually offered at checkout and check handling fees and currency conversion. Before paying, confirm refund destination, processing conditions and any withdrawal fees.

FAQ
Is the spreadsheet price what I pay MyCNBox?
No. It approximates the seller line. Domestic shipping, add-ons, and international freight are separate.
Is purchasing always free?
Do not assume so. Check the current purchasing fee and any conditions in your account. Optional services and payment handling may be charged separately.
Why can freight beat the item total?
Chargeable weight, volume, destination, and route often outweigh cheap product stacks — especially shoes and bulky soft goods.
Where do refunds usually land?
Confirm the refund destination for your payment method before ordering. Account balance, payment reversal, withdrawal conditions and processing time must be checked with MyCNBox; this site cannot process refunds.
Which payment methods work?
Use the options shown in your account checkout. Check eligibility, handling fees and currency conversion before confirming payment.
