Organizing group purchases from international markets can be a logistical maze. For the vibrant community of Brazilian buyers shopping directly from Chinese platforms, transparency and coordination are the biggest hurdles. This is where the HubBuyCN Spreadsheet
The Challenge: Coordinating Multiple Buyers
When dozens of buyers pool their orders to save on shipping and agent fees, tracking becomes complex. Key questions arise: Who paid for what? What is the total consolidated weight? Have the Quality Control (QC) photos been uploaded? Traditional messaging in WhatsApp or Telegram groups leads to information getting buried, causing confusion and errors.
The Solution: A Shared, Live Spreadsheet
