Sixteen product shelves, annotated for shipping

Inside a MyCNBox Spreadsheet shelf

Think of each shelf as a window onto a marketplace. The MyCNBox Spreadsheet is the catalogue: product cards sorted by category, each with the seller's photo, a short title, a yuan price and a link out to the original listing on Taobao, Tmall, Weidian or 1688. Nothing is sold here. The cards exist to let you browse by category, rather than wrestle with a Chinese-language marketplace search, then take the one link you want to an agent.

With MyCNBox, that last part is short. Help article 99 describes the whole route in three moves: choose a product link, send it to MyCNBox, and let the warehouse consolidate your items into one parcel for your overseas address. In practice the link goes into the bar across the top of mycnbox.com, which is the first picture in the official desktop guide (help article 103).

Sixteen categories and their travel notes

The notes under each card are about what happens after you have chosen: how the item travels, which sizing table applies, or which help article to read first. Prices and stock change on the seller's side every day, so the cards never quote either.

Two shelves deserve a second look before you fill a basket. Fragrance and anything with a battery sit on MyCNBox's restricted lists: liquids need a word with customer service before ordering, and battery items go by a special channel that costs more. The no-go list has the full picture.

Check the listing first, copy the link second

A card gives you four things: a photo, a title, a yuan price and the link. The photo and title are the seller's, often machine-translated, so a title that names a material or a size range is a claim to check on the listing, not a promise.

Open the listing before copying anything. Look at the option names (colour and size are usually separate pickers), the price for the exact option you want, and whether the seller charges domestic delivery. MyCNBox pays the price shown on the link at the moment of purchase, and it cannot apply a discount you agreed in a chat (help article 94). One link becomes one order with its own domestic delivery fee, even when two items come from the same shop (help article 27).

Delivery notes, dates and tested links

Most catalogues stop at the card. Ours carries a note about the delivery end, because that is where MyCNBox's rules bite: the billing match, the overseas-only rule, the battery and liquid restrictions, the courier's remote list. Every note cites the help article it comes from, so you can check us against the source.

We also date things. The help centre was read on 9 and again on 10 November 2026, and the date sits at the top of every page. Category links are tested before each update, so a dead link does not sit on a shelf for weeks. What we do not do is rank sellers, invent prices or tell you how a particular item will pass customs: nobody outside the parcel knows that.

Signs of upkeep on a catalogue site

Here is how to judge whether a spreadsheet site, ours among them, is being kept up. It takes a couple of minutes:

1. Dates you can see. A page that names the day its facts were read is easier to trust than one that never mentions time.
2. Category links that land on products. Open three shelves at random. Empty results or a 404 means nobody has checked for a while.
3. Agent rules as well as links. A catalogue that tells you nothing about the agent's address, payment or return rules leaves the expensive mistakes to you.
4. Plain words about money. Somewhere it should say how the site is paid. Ours is on the editorial notes page.
5. No miracle claims. Promises about customs, guaranteed delivery or a seller being the original factory are invented. Close the tab.
