LitBuy Help Center
The LitBuy Help Center collects practical answers for buyers researching proxy shopping, warehouse QC, package consolidation, shipping insurance, customs-sensitive goods, measurements, storage and order changes. It is designed as a first stop before contacting support or opening an external marketplace checkout. The goal is to help buyers gather the right evidence and ask clearer questions.
Most order problems are easier to solve when the buyer keeps product links, seller names, order screenshots, domestic tracking numbers, warehouse photos and international tracking records. This page explains what to prepare at each stage so support conversations can focus on the actual issue rather than missing context.
What should a buyer check before payment?
Before payment, confirm the product URL, marketplace, item options, stock status, size chart, domestic shipping fee, seller return window and whether the item category has route restrictions. If the product is fragile, electronic, oversized, liquid, battery-powered or branded, check prohibited item guidance first. If the product is apparel or footwear, save the seller measurement chart and compare it with a known item.
Buyers should also estimate total cost. The item price is only one part of the order. Domestic shipping, agent fees, storage, extra photos, packaging, international shipping, insurance, customs and taxes can change the final cost. A low item price does not always mean a low delivered price.
What should a buyer check when QC photos arrive?
Open the seller listing and compare it with the QC photo set. Check variant, color, size label, logos, tags, stitching, print placement, packaging, accessories and visible damage. For apparel, request measurements if they were not included. For shoes, check both shoes, inside labels and box label. For electronics or accessories, verify included parts and visible condition.
If something looks wrong, act before international shipping. Ask for extra photos, request a return, confirm whether a defect is acceptable or choose a different item. Once the parcel leaves the warehouse, solving product issues becomes slower and more expensive.
What details help support resolve an issue?
A useful support request includes the product link, marketplace name, order number, domestic tracking number, warehouse item ID, selected size and color, QC photo concern, desired outcome and any deadline. If the issue is shipping-related, include the selected route, parcel weight, destination country, tracking number and last carrier update.
Avoid sending only a screenshot without context. Support teams need enough information to identify the item, understand the timeline and determine whether the issue belongs to the seller, warehouse, carrier or buyer instruction.
How should buyers handle customs and delivery issues?
Customs and destination delivery depend on local rules. Buyers should monitor tracking, respond to carrier requests and keep proof of payment or invoice details where required. LitBuy can explain common preparation steps, but it cannot control customs decisions, carrier inspection, tax assessment or local delivery timing.
If tracking stops updating, buyers should first check whether the parcel is in customs, line-haul transit or local delivery handoff. Those stages can look similar in tracking tools but require different next steps.
Common questions
Can LitBuy replace the seller or agent support channel?
No. LitBuy is an educational resource. Final order handling depends on the seller, agent, warehouse and carrier used by the buyer.
What is the fastest way to get useful help?
Prepare product links, tracking numbers, QC photos, route details and a clear description of the desired outcome before asking for support.

Review evidence and update process
The LitBuy Editorial Team reviews marketplace guidance against buyer-facing tasks: checking original seller URLs, comparing QC photo evidence, identifying size and material questions, noting route restrictions and separating buyer-verifiable facts from seller, agent, carrier and customs decisions. Updates are made when category guidance, warehouse steps, shipping route notes, privacy posture or buyer-risk language changes. Shoppers should keep product links, order screenshots, QC photos, measurements, parcel weights and tracking records until delivery is complete.
