Nine Litbuy mistakes beginners make (and how to skip them)

Most first-order regrets come from the same handful of avoidable errors. Here they are, with the fix for each — so your first Litbuy parcel is a win, not a lesson.

Spark notes

Most first-order regrets come from a few avoidable errors — chasing the cheapest shipping quote, trusting tag size over measurements, and skipping the QC photos top the list.

  • Compare shipping lines on weight, speed and rules, not just the headline price.
  • Read the seller’s measurement chart against a garment you already own.
  • Actually open the QC photos and check colour, tags and defects before you ship.
  • Run one small, light order end-to-end before you buy big.
  1. 1
    Choosing by the cheapest shipping quote

    Fix: compare lines on real weight, speed and rules — not just the headline number. See choosing a line.

  2. 2
    Trusting tag size over measurements

    Fix: read the seller’s measurement chart and compare with a garment you own.

  3. 3
    Skipping the QC photos

    Fix: actually open them and check colour, tags and defects before you ship.

  4. 4
    Assuming the spreadsheet price is final

    Fix: confirm the real item price, service fee and shipping inside Litbuy — see markup.

  5. 5
    Ignoring restricted items

    Fix: check whether liquids, batteries or certain materials are allowed on your line and to your country.

  6. 6
    Expecting unrealistic delivery dates

    Fix: treat any estimate as a range; purchasing time and customs vary.

  7. 7
    Not consolidating

    Fix: batch several items into one parcel to spread international shipping.

  8. 8
    Losing your records

    Fix: screenshot orders, QC and tracking in case you need support.

  9. 9
    Buying big before testing the flow

    Fix: run one small, light order end-to-end first.

Remember: spreadsheet discovery does not guarantee a seller has stock or that Litbuy can complete every order. Start small and confirm as you go.
