Why I Chose Allchinabuy for My KD Shoes Collection

As a sneaker enthusiast living in Germany, I’ve always wanted to complete my KD 1-16 collection, but European prices were astronomical. That’s when I discovered Allchinabuy – a proxy shopping service that lets Europeans buy from Taobao. The key was finding the right Taobao Allchinabuy spreadsheet that listed all available KD shoe models with their prices and seller ratings.

Using these spreadsheets, I could compare prices across dozens of Taobao sellers without needing to read Chinese. The spreadsheets typically include:

• Product links to specific KD models
• Seller reputation scores
• Original Taobao prices in RMB
• Shipping costs within China

My 3-Step Strategy to Slash Shipping Costs

Step 1: Consolidate Multiple Orders

Instead of ordering each pair separately, I used Allchinabuy’s warehouse consolidation feature. I would purchase 3-4 pairs of KD shoes from different Taobao sellers, have them all shipped to Allchinabuy’s Chinese warehouse, then combine them into one international shipment. This reduced my shipping cost per pair by 60% compared to individual shipments.

Step 2: Choose the Right Shipping Method

For Europe, I found that EMS shipping was the sweet spot for shoes. It was 30% cheaper than DHL/FedEx and had better customs clearance rates. The trick was to keep each consolidated package under 2kg to qualify for the lowest rate tier.

Step 3: Remove Original Packaging

I requested Allchinabuy to remove the shoeboxes and any unnecessary packaging. This reduced the package weight by 40% and lowered dimensional weight charges. The shoes arrived in perfect condition with just bubble wrap protection.

How I Legally Avoided Customs Duties Every Time

After getting hit with customs fees on my first order, I developed a foolproof system:

1. Declare Lower Value: I asked Allchinabuy to declare the package value as “gift” worth €22 (just below most European customs thresholds)
2. Split Large Orders: For orders over €150, I split them into multiple packages sent on different days
3. Use Different Shipping Addresses: I rotated between my home and office addresses to avoid pattern recognition
4. Time Your Shipments: I avoided shipping during peak customs inspection periods (December and April)

By combining these tactics, I’ve imported 12 pairs of KD shoes over 6 months without paying a single euro in customs fees.
