My Ultimate Weidian Spreadsheet Guide: How I Saved Big on Air Jordan 13s Using AllChinaBuy
As a European sneaker enthusiast, I’ve mastered the art of buying authentic Air Jordan 13s from China while minimizing costs. Here’s my step-by-step strategy using Weidian spreadsheet Reddit finds and AllChinaBuy as my proxy.
Step 1: Finding the Best Deals
I start by browsing Weidian spreadsheet lists shared on Reddit. These spreadsheets are goldmines for authentic sellers with below-retail prices. I filter for Air Jordan 13 models and compare prices across multiple stores.
Step 2: Using AllChinaBuy as Proxy
AllChinaBuy acts as my shipping forwarder. I input the Weidian product links into their system, and they handle purchasing and consolidation. Their interface supports spreadsheet batch imports, making multiple orders efficient.
Step 3: Slashing Shipping Costs
- Consolidate Packages: I wait until I have 3-4 pairs in AllChinaBuy’s warehouse before shipping. Combined weight reduces per-item cost.
- Choose Budget Shipping: I opt for China Post SAL or Yanwen Economic Air for Europe. These take 3-4 weeks but cost 60% less than DHL.
- Remove Original Boxes: I request shoe boxes to be discarded (saves ~500g per pair). Sneakers are bubble-wrapped separately.
Step 4: Avoiding Customs Duties
- Declare Lower Value: I ask AllChinaBuy to declare value at $20-30 per pair (below EU tax threshold).
- Mark as Gift: Packages labeled “gift” have higher duty-free allowances in many EU countries.
- Split Large Orders: For more than 2 pairs, I split into separate shipments under different days to avoid scrutiny.
Step 5: Final Cost Breakdown
My last haul: 2x Air Jordan 13 ‘Red Flint’
– Weidian cost: $120 each
– AllChinaBuy service fee: $15
– Shipping to Germany: $35 (consolidated)
– Total per pair: $155 (vs. $220 retail in EU)
