New to LitBuy? This step-by-step guide walks you through everything from creating your account to receiving your first haul. By the end, you will be ordering like a pro — navigating spreadsheets, reading QC photos, and shipping internationally with confidence.
The Complete LitBuy Workflow
Create an Account
Sign up on LitBuy with a valid email. Verify your account through the confirmation link sent to your inbox.
Browse Products
Use the search bar or browse categories to find items. Click any product to view details, sizes, colors, and seller info.
Add to Cart
Select your size and color, then click "Add to Cart." You can continue shopping or proceed to checkout.
Submit Order
Review your cart, apply any coupon codes, and submit your order. Payment is processed securely through LitBuy.
Wait for QC Photos
Once items arrive at the warehouse (3-7 days), warehouse staff photograph them. You approve or reject based on QC.
Ship Your Haul
After approving QC photos, select your shipping method, pay for international delivery, and wait for tracking.
Step 1: Creating Your Account
Head to LitBuy and click "Sign Up." Use a real email address — you will need it for order confirmations, QC photo notifications, and shipping updates. After verifying your email, fill in your delivery address. Use your real name exactly as it appears on your ID or mailbox to avoid delivery issues.
Tip: Add your phone number with the correct country code. Couriers often call before delivery.
Step 2: Finding Products
LitBuy has two main ways to find products: direct search and spreadsheet links. For beginners, we recommend using our curated spreadsheet which organizes the best finds by category with QC ratings and price comparisons.
When searching directly, use specific keywords like "Jordan 1 Mocha OG batch" instead of just "shoes." This narrows results to exact batches and avoids low-tier options. Always check the seller rating (aim for 4.5+ stars) and read recent reviews before ordering.
Step 3: Understanding Batches
In the replica world, "batch" refers to the factory and production run. Higher-tier batches like OG, PK, and LJR cost more but offer near-retail quality. Budget batches are cheaper with minor flaws. Our spreadsheet marks each item with its batch and QC score so you know exactly what tier you are buying.
OG / PK
Top Tier
$70-120
SY / TX
Mid Tier
$40-70
Budget
Entry Tier
$15-35
Step 4: Cart and Checkout
Add items to your cart but do not rush to checkout immediately. LitBuy allows you to hold items in your warehouse cart for up to 7 days. Use this time to browse more items and build a larger haul — shipping costs per item drop significantly when you consolidate.
At checkout, always check for active coupon codes before paying. Even a $5 discount adds up on large orders. Payment methods include credit card, PayPal (in some regions), and various local payment gateways.
Step 5: QC Photos Explained
After your items arrive at the warehouse, LitBuy takes detailed photos from multiple angles. You have 72 hours to approve or reject each item. If you reject, the item is returned to the seller and you get a full refund.
What to check in QC photos: stitching alignment, material texture, logo embroidery accuracy, color accuracy vs retail photos, and packaging completeness. Our QC gallery has examples of what to look for.
Step 6: Shipping Your Haul
Once all items are QC-approved, select "Submit for Delivery." Choose your shipping method — we recommend DHL Triangle for most regions. Pay the shipping fee, and your package is on its way. You will receive a tracking number within 24-48 hours.
