With the growing popularity of Chinese shopping platforms, imported luxury brands like Tom FordJoyabuy—a reliable Pandabuy alternative. This guide will walk you through purchasing Tom Ford cosmetics, fragrances, or accessories on Weidian using Joyabuy's forwarding service.
Step 1: Understand Joyabuy’s Role
Joyabuy acts as a China-based purchasing agent, helping international buyers shop from platforms that don’t directly ship overseas (e.g., Weidian, Taobao, 1688). Their services include:
- Product sourcing and quality verification
- Consolidated shipping
- Tax-saving strategies
Step 2: Find Tom Ford Products on Weidian
Search for authentic Tom Ford listings using:
- Keywords: Copy Chinese names like "汤姆福特香水" (perfume) or "TF口红" (lipstick)
- Seller reputation: Filter stores with 4.9+ ratings
- External catalogs: Check crowdsourced lists like this product spreadsheet
⚠️ Warning: Weidian hosts both genuine and counterfeit items. Cross-check prices—authentic Tom Ford products are rarely 70% below retail.
Step 3: Submit Your Order via Joyabuy
After copying the Weidian product URL:
- Register at Joyabuy.com
- Paste the link into their order system
- Specify details (color, size, etc.)
- Pay for the item + domestic China shipping (~$2)
Step 4: International Shipping
Once Joyabuy receives your item(s) at their warehouse:
- Request QC photos (optional but recommended)
- Choose a shipping method (DHL, FedEx, or cheaper sea freight)
- Declare value strategically to minimize customs fees
