This guide compiles the 15 most impactful tips from experienced buyers — from shipping optimization to batch selection and QC strategies.
Shipping Optimization Tips (1-5)
The biggest savings come from smart shipping decisions:
- 1Always remove shoe boxes — saves 30-50% on volumetric weight for sneaker hauls
- 2Consolidate everything before shipping — never ship items individually
- 3Use SuperBuy's shipping calculator to compare all available lines
- 4Consider splitting very large hauls to reduce customs risk
- 5Time your haul for off-peak periods — shipping rates can vary seasonally
Batch Selection Tips (6-10)
Finding the best batches requires research:
- 1Always check community notes before purchasing — batch quality changes frequently
- 2Look for products with 50+ community reviews for reliable ratings
- 3Compare multiple sellers for the same product — prices and quality vary
- 4Check the date of community reviews — older reviews may not reflect current batch
- 5Use the image search feature to find similar products from different sellers
QC Strategy Tips (11-15)
Maximize your QC photo effectiveness:
- 1Request specific additional photos — don't accept generic QC sets
- 2Compare QC photos against retail reference photos side by side
- 3Check both items in a pair for symmetry issues
- 4Request photos in natural light if initial photos are too dark
- 5Don't rush QC approval — take time to review carefully before approving
