| BaseTao | Facts updated 2026-09 | BaseTao is a China shipping agent that brings purchasing and forwarding into one warehouse workflow. Use Buy for Me for original Taobao, 1688 or Weidian links, or Ship for Me when you have already paid a Chinese jade seller and only need warehouse inspection, photos, consolidation and international delivery. Its published policies list 120 days of free storage, free QC photos, order consolidation or splitting, and a CNY 1.50 measurement service. Standard inspection covers visible colour, damage, stains, labelled size and style, but not actual measurements, colour variation or electronics functionality. Read the guide → |
| Gtbuy | Facts updated 2026-09 | Gtbuy is a cross-border shopping agent that buys from Chinese marketplaces, receives goods in its warehouse, supplies QC photos, stores items for free, consolidates parcels and dispatches them internationally. For jade buyers, its value is staging: your testing team can confirm the original listing, then inspect warehouse images of the exact piece before paying for a fragile-stone parcel. Gtbuy QC documents visible condition only. It does not identify jadeite versus nephrite, detect polymer impregnation, dyeing or bleaching, or validate a vendor's certificate claims.

| Cssbuy | Facts updated 2026-09 | CSSBuy is a Chinese shopping agent that splits purchasing from international dispatch. You pay for the item and China domestic delivery first, review warehouse QC photos once the goods arrive, then consolidate parcels and pay international freight calculated from the packed parcel's actual weight and volume. For jade buyers — jadeite bangles, nephrite pendants, bead strands — that staged flow keeps the cheap, domestic return window open before an irreversible overseas shipment, and the facts card lists a 6.30 service-fee figure with a 6.68 exchange rate as of 2026-09.

| Orientdig | Facts updated 2026-09 | Orientdig is a China shopping agent that separates two decisions jade buyers should never blur: confirming the original listing before purchase, and confirming the packed parcel before international dispatch. You paste a marketplace link from a Spreadsheet, verify the seller, item type, measurements and price on the source page, then check HD warehouse photos before paying freight. Rehearsal packing gives a realistic weight estimate for dense stone, which matters more for jade than for almost any other category we ship. Read the guide → |
