Mulebuy agent order checklist: keep spreadsheet context into the order

Most expensive order mistakes are boring: wrong link, missing size note, or no QC plan. Use this checklist when you move from a Mulebuy spreadsheet shortlist into the agent cart.

Why spreadsheet finds still need order notes

A spreadsheet row is a candidate. The agent purchase needs an exact source URL plus options the seller will understand. If the row and the live product page disagree on size chart or color name, pause before you pay.

Pair this page with the agent-order-notes guide when you need the longer handoff story; stay here when you want a tick list per item.

Per-item note template (copy before you pay)

Fill one row per shortlist item. If a cell is blank, you are not ready to submit payment.

Field What to write Fail if…
Source URL Weidian / Taobao / 1688 / Xianyu link that opens the exact listing Mirror, dead link, or wrong variant page
Options Size + colorway + quantity in seller language if needed “Same as photo” with no size
Price check Live page price vs spreadsheet expectation Silent jump you cannot explain
QC plan Angles / measurements you will demand No plan because “standard QC is fine”
Remarks Measure insole, remove box, extra photo, etc. Custom ask only in your head
Screenshot Listing saved for later album compare Only a spreadsheet thumbnail left

Before you submit payment

Run this block once for every item that still has a blank in the template above.

  • Correct source link — not a dead mirror
  • Size, colorway, and quantity written explicitly
  • Price on the page still matches what you expected
  • Remark for custom asks is in the order field
  • Screenshot of the listing saved for QC comparison
  • Shortlist still has one written reason per item

After the item hits the warehouse

Status usually moves purchased → seller sent → warehouse received → QC photos. When photos land, open the QC checklist — do not jump straight to parcel submit.

  • QC album opened with the angles you already decided you need
  • Measurements checked against the chart if fit was the buy reason
  • Weak items removed before they inflate volumetric shipping
  • Haul budget still works after the current quote

Hand-off to shipping

Only then consolidate. Buyer shares often show tax-free EU lines and US UPS quotes changing with weight — your line list will differ, so re-quote every time the haul changes.

Common order-note failures

These habits create most expensive agent-order regrets. Catch them before payment, not after warehouse photos land.

  • Failure: paste the spreadsheet title instead of the product URL → Fix: open the live listing and copy from the address bar.
  • Failure: size only in a Discord message → Fix: put size in the agent order field.
  • Failure: QC plan invented after photos arrive → Fix: write angles in remarks before purchase.
  • Failure: keep every maybe because “already paid” → Fix: RL/cut in warehouse; shipping is still optional.
