First order
From a row to a parcel, in seven steps.
The spreadsheet is the easy part. If you are asking how to use sugargoo — or how does sugargoo work once a link is pasted — this is the sequence that decides whether the parcel arrives, what it costs, and whether you would do it again.
Pick a row and copy the link
Start on the sheet, filter to a category, open the row on the partner page and confirm the item is still live. Copy the marketplace URL, not the partner page URL.
Paste it into the order box
The agent parses the link, pulls the SKU list and shows the CNY price. Choose size and colour there, not in a comment.
Pay for the item, not the parcel
The first payment covers the goods and domestic delivery to the warehouse. International freight comes later, after QC and consolidation.
Wait for the warehouse, then read the QC photos
This is the only moment you can reject cheaply. Use the checklist; ask for the angles that are missing.
Decide: keep, exchange or return
A return costs domestic freight and time. A bad item shipped internationally costs both plus the freight you already paid.
Consolidate and declare
Group items, choose a line by weight band, declare honestly, and buy insurance on anything you could not afford to lose.
Track and receive
Tracking stalls are normal at export and customs. Check the line’s average, not the daily scan.

before duty
That is a 50% premium over the sticker price, which is normal. The mistake is comparing a $40 hoodie to a $40 hoodie in a shop — the shop already paid the freight.
Mistakes
The five that cost the most
- Buying shoes and puffers in the same first order. Maximum bulk, maximum freight, minimum experience.
- Skipping QC to save two days. The only cheap rejection window you will get.
- Under-declaring. A seized parcel costs more than the duty.
- Shipping single items. The base fee is the same whether you send 200 g or 2 kg.
- Ignoring storage limits. A parcel that sits for months can accrue fees that rival the goods.
FAQ
First-order questions
Do I need a spreadsheet to use Sugargoo?
No. You can paste any marketplace link yourself. A sheet saves discovery time, not ordering time — the checkout is identical once you have the link.
What payment methods work?
Cards are the default; PayPal availability varies by region and account. Ask support before building a large balance if PayPal is your only option.
How long do I have to ship after QC?
Free storage is limited (commonly around 100 days, sometimes less for promotional items). After that, storage fees apply. Consolidate within the window instead of letting items sit.
Can I cancel an order after paying?
Before the seller ships, usually yes. After it reaches the warehouse, you are in return territory, with domestic return freight and seller approval. The window matters more than the reason.
