Proxy Purchase Process
Step 1: Prepare Links
Right-click the product link on 1688 and copy the item ID (number after "offer/"). Alternatively, our sourcing experts at [email protected] can help locate specific Copa models.
Step 2: Submit Order
On Superbuy's dashboard:
- Click "Buy for Me"
- Paste 1688 offering ID
- Specify color/size (use EU sizing - Copa Sense runs 0.5 size small)
- Add quantity (1688 MOQs typically 1-2 pairs)
Step 3: Pre-Purchase Consultation
Superbuy agents will:
- Confirm latest stock availability within ~6 hours
- Verify seller return/exchange policies
- Note any special packaging requests
Step 4: Finalize Payment
After confirming details, pay via:
- PayPal (3% service fee applies)

Shipping Considerations
For smooth Copa deliveries:
- Always request "simple packaging"—Original boxes add unnecessary volume
- Combine purchases—Each additional item only increases shipping marginally
- Consider vacuum-sealed packaging (¥15 service) for reduced volumetric weight
