As international shipping limitations and regional pricing make it challenging for global shoppers to access Chinese e-commerce platforms like Tmall, forwarding services like HoobuyAllbirds, the popular eco-friendly footwear brand, from Tmall efficiently.
Hoobuy is a China-based forwarding and purchasing agent
Begin by exploring Tmall’s Allbirds store or other authorized resellers listing genuine Allbirds products. Look for the specific model, size, and color you want. You may refer to the Allbirds product comparison sheet
Visit Hoobuy’s website and create an account. Provide accurate shipping details to avoid delivery issues later. Some users find Hoobuy's first-time discount promotions helpful in reducing overall costs.
Navigate to Hoobuy’s "Purchasing Service"
Hoobuy will provide a quote that includes the product price, domestic shipping fees (if applicable), service charges, and estimated international shipping costs. Use the platform's packaging calculator
Once Hoobuy procures your Allbirds shoes, they will inspect the product for defects or discrepancies. You can request additional photos before international shipping
Tmall and other Chinese e-commerce platforms rarely support foreign credit cards, and navigating login restrictions (due to regional IP blocks) adds complexity. Hoobuy bypasses these hurdles while handling payments, negotiations, and shipping logistics:
If shipment delays occur (e.g., due to Chinese holidays), update your provider through the embedded tracking system. Legitimate discrepancies in product weights/sizes—documented on third-party resources—can be cross-checked pre-shipment.
Hoobuy simplifies cross-border purchasing by making sought-after brands like Allbirdshassle-free sourcing, competitive pricing insights via spreadsheets like the linked product analytics, and logistical clarity for first-time buyers.
