OrientDig Spreadsheet 2026

OrientDig is one of the newer agents that's built up enough community history to be worth covering. The platform handles the standard rep purchasing workflow, charges 5% service fee and offers 30-day storage. Nothing jumps out as a standout feature, but nothing is broken either. For buyers who've hit issues with other agents and want to try something different, OrientDig is at least well-documented enough to evaluate.

The purchasing workflow is standard: submit link, warehouse receipt, QC review, ship. The interface is functional though not the most polished in the market. English support is fair — adequate for standard transactions, less reliable for complex disputes. Community documentation for OrientDig has grown as more buyers have published their experiences.

Fee structure is 5% across most orders, competitive with other mid-tier agents. Domestic shipping rates are in the standard ¥10–25 range. International shipping line availability covers the main routes to US, EU and UK.

ACBuy is cheaper by 5 percentage points — that's ¥15 on a ¥300 order. For a buyer making that comparison fresh, ACBuy is the better starting point. OrientDig makes sense primarily for buyers who've tried ACBuy and prefer a different platform for specific reasons, or buyers who've received a recommendation from someone whose haul experience with OrientDig they trust.

The community data for OrientDig is thinner than for ACBuy or CNFans, which means less third-party quality verification. That's not a fatal flaw — it's just a calibration point for setting expectations.

The service fee headline number (5%, 0%, etc.) is only part of the cost picture. Domestic shipping within China runs ¥10–25 per item depending on size and weight. International shipping varies enormously by line — economy lines to the US run ¥80–150 per kg, while express lines run ¥180–350 per kg. On a typical shoe haul, the shipping cost difference between lines is often ¥100–200, which easily exceeds a full year of service fee differences between agents.

The practical implication: don't obsess over service fee percentages when choosing an agent. Use the fee calculator to run your actual order through multiple agents and lines before committing. The best agent for your haul depends on what you're ordering, where it's going, and which shipping lines are currently performing well for your destination.

Storage time is the other cost factor that doesn't show up in the headline fee. If you consolidate multiple orders over several weeks before shipping, 30-day free storage (ACBuy) creates real cost pressure. Ninety days is the standard for most agents and covers most consolidation patterns comfortably.

Every agent on this site provides free QC photos — images of your item taken after it arrives at the warehouse, before international shipping. These photos are your main tool for catching quality issues, wrong items or damage before the package leaves China.

What to check in QC photos: check the label and tag against reference photos from the community. Check stitching on stress points — seams, collar, cuffs on clothing; midsole edges and upper construction on shoes. Check hardware quality on bags. Look for any asymmetry, loose threads, or colour inconsistencies that don't match the community reference standard for that batch.

If the QC photos show an issue, most agents will offer to return the item to the seller for exchange. The process varies by agent — Sugargoo is generally considered the most reliable for detailed QC photo coverage and responsive dispute handling.

The service fee headline is only part of the cost. Domestic shipping within China runs ¥10–25 per item. International shipping varies enormously — economy lines to the US run ¥80–150 per kg, express lines ¥180–350. On a typical shoe haul, the shipping difference between lines is often ¥100–200, which dwarfs any service fee difference between agents.

Run your actual order through the fee calculator before committing to an agent. Use the agent compare tool to see total cost by line. The best agent for your haul depends on what you're ordering, where it's going, and which lines are performing well for your destination right now.

Storage time matters if you consolidate. Standard is 90 days free — enough for most buying patterns. ACBuy's 30-day limit creates cost pressure for buyers who accumulate over several weeks. Plan your consolidation timeline before choosing an agent with short storage.

All agents on this site provide free QC photos — images of your item taken at the warehouse before international shipping. These are your main tool for catching wrong items, quality issues or damage before your package leaves China.

Check the tag and label against community reference photos. Check stitching at stress points. Check hardware quality on bags. On shoes, look at midsole edges and upper construction. For clothing, check print consistency and seam quality. If QC photos show an issue, request a return to seller before approving shipment — most agents support this, though response times and processes vary.

Sugargoo is generally considered the strongest agent for QC photo detail and responsive dispute handling. If QC quality is your top priority, that's worth factoring into your agent choice.
