About this site: independence, money and what we leave out
How this independent guide works, how referral links support it, and which checks still belong with the seller, agent or carrier.
The people behind these pages, and the companies not behind them
This site has no connection with Mulebuy. It is not Mulebuy's website, was never run by Mulebuy, and cannot see or change any Mulebuy order or account. It is an independent guide to reading the size of bags listed on Chinese marketplaces, and the Mulebuy name stays in its title because the domain and the catalogue it describes grew up around Mulebuy in its earlier buying guides.
This is an independent editorial guide. Dated policy notes, archived tutorials and worked measurement examples serve different purposes: a past screenshot explains a step, while the current seller, agent or carrier record determines the terms of a purchase.
Where the money comes from, link by link
Catalogue links carry a tracking tag identifying the page that sent the visit. A tracking tag alone does not describe a commission arrangement. Agent registration links may contain referral codes; using one can credit this site under the agent's own terms.
| Link | Where it goes | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Search box, category cards and category links | The catalogue's search and category pages | tracking tag |
| Open LoongBuy | LoongBuy sign-up page with a referral code | referral |
| Open Hipobuy | Hipobuy sign-up page with a referral code | referral |
| Open Superbuy | Superbuy home page with a partner code | referral |
| Open CNshopper | CNshopper home page with a tracking tag only | tracking tag |
Referral links never change what we write. The comparison on the Choosing page shows each agent where it comes out ahead and where it does not, and we list Mulebuy only as history: there is no Mulebuy link of any kind on this site.
Left off these pages on purpose
The category pictures illustrate the kinds of items you can browse. They are not evidence of stock, authenticity, material composition or performance. Check the exact seller listing and appropriate product documentation before deciding to buy.
Equally absent is anything that could help a parcel slip past the rules: no advice on declared values, routes chosen to dodge checks, or ways round an agent's restrictions. Declare parcels truthfully; if an agent refuses an item, the refusal is the rule working.
Finally, we do not publish ratings or rankings of agents. The Choosing page compares four working agents on dated facts from their own pages and says which one suits which situation; it does not name a winner.
How we check what we publish
Read dated notes as a snapshot. These checks explain what to verify again before spending money or submitting a parcel; this page does not promise continuous monitoring.
- Airline frames
- Recheck the operating airline's allowance for your booked fare, route and travel date. A bag that fits a worked example is not automatically approved as cabin baggage.
- Agent facts
- Consult the agent's current help page and the quote attached to your order. Dated notes are useful context, not a guarantee that a fee or deadline remains unchanged.
- Mulebuy status
- Separate a connection failure from a confirmed service announcement. Archived buying steps do not establish that registration, payment or shipping is currently available.
- Mulebuy history
- From archived copies of its own pages, always with the month, written in the past tense.
- Catalogue links
- Use the category destination, then confirm the current listing, variant and seller. An index link or category photograph does not establish live stock.
- Working sizes
- Paper sizes from ISO 216; the other reference items are our own examples, labelled as assumptions.
Images: catalogue photographs are category examples, not this site’s purchases or verified Mulebuy orders. Drawn material, dimension and lettering examples explain a concept; they do not certify the depicted product.
