Order flow

How a BoonBuy order moves, start to finish

There is a moment in every first order where people wonder whether anything is happening. So here is the sequence in full: you paste a link, BoonBuy buys it, the warehouse receives and photographs it, you approve or query, goods wait in free storage, and then — whenever you are ready — a parcel is packed, weighed and sent. Each step below says how long it normally takes and what you should be checking when it happens.

If you only skim one block

Buy it, check it, hold it, send it. BoonBuy runs that order every time, and the two steps worth your attention are the middle ones — inspection is your last free chance to object, and storage is where consolidation pays.

  • Buy itlink pasted, variant confirmed, seller price and domestic leg charged
  • Check itwarehouse photographs arrive before anything is packed
  • Hold itfree storage while you decide whether to add more
  • Send itchoose a line, pay freight on measured weight, then track

Timings below are BoonBuy's published figures; your order page is authoritative for your order.

Placing an order, one screen at a time

Four moves take a listing from this board to a paid BoonBuy order.

1
Paste the link

Taobao, Weidian, 1688, Tmall and JD links are accepted, or search by name.

2
Set the variant

Size, colour and quantity are fixed here — copy them from the row, not from memory.

3
Pay for the goods

Seller price plus the domestic hop only; freight comes later.

4
Watch it arrive

Domestic tracking first, then the warehouse scan, then the photographs.

Nine stages you can watch move

Distilled from BoonBuy's official step-by-step. Your account and BoonBuy's notices govern.

What happens once it arrives

Once the shop posts it, the parcel reaches the warehouse in roughly two days. Checking and shelving take another day, and after that nothing happens until you ask for it — no storage fee and no deadline pressure.

Scanned in

Filed under your account before anyone opens the carton.

Inspected and photographed

Photographs land in your account well before packing starts.

Held at no charge

The free window exists so several orders can become one parcel.

Consolidated on your instruction

You choose contents and timing, not the warehouse.

Turning stored goods into a parcel

Three moves take goods off the shelf and onto a plane.

  1. 1. Select contents

    Decide what ships now and what waits for a later parcel.

  2. 2. Select the line

    Compare on price, transit time and what the line will carry.

  3. 3. Declare and pay

    Declared value is your call; freight follows chargeable weight.

  4. 4. Follow it

    The first carrier scan lands about a day after you submit.

You submit, the warehouse boxes everything up, the carrier collects it, and a tracking reference appears on your parcel page shortly afterwards. What you pay depends on how heavy the box measures and where it is headed, so the estimate can drift by a little — the adjustment goes back onto your balance.

The whole journey, split into two columns

Safe to assume
Check this yourself
✅ Goods are photographed before dispatch
🔍 That the photographs cover what you actually wanted checked
✅ Storage is free for the stated window
🔍 Exactly how long your goods can sit before charges begin
✅ Freight follows measured weight
🔍 The packed weight of your consolidated parcel
✅ Weight is measured and any freight difference is settled after shipping
🔍 Delivery timing — read estimates as a range, never a date
