If you're a Supreme enthusiast outside China, buying authentic items can be challenging due to regional restrictions and high resale prices. Fortunately, Hoobuy, a Chinese forwarding and proxy service, provides a seamless solution to shop from Taobao. This guide walks you through the process while introducing a helpful tool—Find's Spreadsheet—for tracking Supreme drops.
Taobao hosts numerous independent sellers offering Supreme products, often at lower prices than Western resellers. However, international buyers face hurdles like language barriers, payment restrictions, and shipping limitations. Hoobuy solves these issues by:
Search Taobao using terms like "Supreme box logo" (使用 "Supreme 帽衫" for hoodies). For efficiency, leverage Find's Spreadsheet, which aggregates Taobao Supreme listings with price comparisons and seller ratings. This tool helps you avoid scams and locate the best deals.
Sign up on Hoobuy’s website to receive a dedicated Chinese warehouse address. Copy this address as your Taobao shipping destination during checkout.
After Taobao purchase, provide Hoobuy with your order details via their dashboard. They’ll handle domestic shipping to their warehouse. Alternatively, use Hoobuy’s "Expert Service" where their agents place orders for you (ideal for time-sensitive Supreme drops).
Once items arrive at Hoobuy’s warehouse, they repackage parcels to minimize volumetric weight. Choose from shipping options like DHL (faster) or China Post (budget-friendly). Pro tip: Enable "Original Box Removal" to further reduce costs.
