Universal Process

The idea is the same for all agents: You get all your items from one warehouse/agent and send it to the other warehouse/agent.

This happens via regular domestic mail, and your old agent, the sender, doesn't have to do anything special. For them it's just a domestic shipment.

The new agent has to know why they are receiving the new parcel, what to do with it and who it's for. Due to their stock keeping system they might also need a purchase order from you, even if it's just 1 yuan, so that they can store and display your items under that number.

How much will this cost? This depends on the weight, your old agent, shipping service you chose and the current shipping and exchange rates. Most users report a price between $5-$10.

Step-by-step detailed process to do a warehouse transfer

Send the items from the old agent

1. Open the warehouse page for your old agent and select the products you want to transfer
2. Submit them for shipping, it might be called international shipping, but for the destination country you select China
3. Enter the address of the new agent, found below on this page
4. Wait for the old agent to provide you with a tracking number/parcel number

New Agent, specific Instructions

5. Wegobuy Instructions

1. Order this item through normal taobao agent shopping
2. leave your tracking number and service you used with the old agent as a remark
3. The items should then show up as a bundle in your warehouse under the placeholder product you bought. QC pics of your parcel as a whole should be provided
4. You may purchase the split parcel service from the warehouse page, if you want to split the items in order to ship them separately and get extra QC pics

The wegobuy process might be the least sophisticated nowadays, but it's simple and works, and means the least work for you.

5. Superbuy Instructions

Superbuy changed the process after they chose to have a more professional approach. The forwarding service can now be used for free.

1. Go to the Superbuy forwarding page: https://ex.superbuy.com/en/page/transport/
2. Fill in the link or name for all your items
3. Fill in the price and category. This is only for tracking purposes, you don't have to pay Superbuy
4. Select Guangdong Warehouse
5. Enter your home country

Other uses of this system

Self-Managed, parcel forwarding service

You can also use this guide for self-managed orders, where you just want to use the agent as a forwarder. In that case you follow the same steps, only replace "old agent" with the vendor you are using.

Internal Warehouse Transfers

There are also internal warehouse transfers: this comes to play when you are switching accounts or someone is selling you their unshipped items, within the same agent.

The difference is that they don't leave the warehouse, so the domestic shipping doesn't come into play.

To do an internal warehouse transfer, ask your agent's support for instructions. Usually the new owner will also have to place a placeholder purchase order to have the item bundle in your account.

Personal experience with warehouse transfers

I bought a whole warehouse that was around 10kg from a community member, who for some reason couldn't pay for shipping after ordering the items.

I asked Superbuy how it works and they gave me a ¥1 placeholder item to purchase. Keep in mind, this was the old process that is now used by wegobuy. The other guy initated the transfer with his agent.

The items popped up in my warehouse without any questions or extra steps I needed to take.

The only problem was that all 10kg were in 1 placeholder warehouse item. That meant that I could only ship it all at once. But for a few cents I bought the value-added service to split the haul. That solved the problem and even got me extra QC pics. The option for that is on the warehouse page.
