Historical workflow: verify before relying on it

General industry process. Not confirmed for AllChinaBuy while it is in maintenance — checked 18 September 2026.

Historical and general. This describes how agent quality checks generally work across the industry, not AllChinaBuy's current terms. While AllChinaBuy is in maintenance (checked 18 September 2026) we cannot confirm its present warehouse, storage, fee or shipping rules. Verify the current terms on the official site before relying on any of this.

In the common shopping-agent model, the item you order is not shipped to you directly. It travels through the agent's warehouse, and a quality check happens in between. Understanding the general shape of that process helps you read a QC set in context.

The general steps

  1. Order placed with the agent. You pick an item and the agent buys it from the seller on your behalf.
  2. Seller ships to the warehouse. The item arrives at the agent's facility rather than at your address.
  3. Quality check. Warehouse staff photograph the item. This is the QC set you review.
  4. Your decision. You approve, request a return or exchange, or ask questions based on the photos.
  5. Consolidation and shipping. Approved items are packed — sometimes combined with others — and forwarded to you.

Numbers we are deliberately not stating

Free storage windows, QC turnaround times, service-fee percentages and shipping-line prices differ by agent and change over time. We have not verified AllChinaBuy's current figures, so we do not print any here. Where you see a specific number quoted elsewhere, check its date and confirm it against the official source before you count on it.

Why "verify before relying on it" matters now

A maintenance notice is exactly the situation where old terms may be mid-change. Read historical process notes as background, not as a promise about how the platform behaves today.
